A: From the promulgation of our constitution in 1947 to the present is only forty years. Compared to Britain's 700 years and the United States '200 years of democratic political history, this is very short. Moreover in these forty years we have been continually in a life-and-death struggle with the Chinese Communists.
答：我國從民國三十六年公佈憲法，到今天不過四十年，比起英國七百年，美國兩百年的民主政治歷史，是短得多，而且這四十年，我們一直在與共產主義作生死鬥。
