I thought this was a basic question to ask in a democracy.  It wasn't like I was asking for the code to a nuclear bunker, or anything like that, but the amount of resistance I got from this Freedom of Information request, you would have thought I'd asked something like this.
我认为这是在民主社会最基本需要知道的东西。 我又不是在要求知道核武器堆的密码 或者类似的。但是，我为了知道这冠上“信息自由”的信息， 可是费了不少的功夫才冲破重重阻碍 其间的困难是你不能预想到的
