律法之光，照耀人间正义——探寻法律法典的深邃智慧

The Light of the Law, Illuminating the Justice of Humanity – Exploring the Profound Wisdom of the Legal Codes

1. 法令，故抑暴扶弱，欲其难犯而易免。——班固

1. Laws and decrees, therefore, suppress the violent and support the weak, aiming to make it difficult for them to commit crimes and easy for them to avoid them. — Ban Gu

2. 证据在哪里，案子就丢在哪里。——古罗马谚语

2. Where there is evidence, there the case is thrown away. — Ancient Roman Proverb

3. 法律和制度必须跟上人类思想的进步。杰弗逊

3. Law and institutions must keep pace with the progress of human thought. - Jefferson

4. 我们希望人们品行善良么？那末，我们首先应该让他们热爱国家，但是，如果国家对于他们和对于外国人一样，如果国家只是给他们对任何人都不能不给的东西，他们又怎么会爱国呢？

4. Do we hope that people should be virtuous? Then, we should first make them love their country. However, if the country treats them no differently from foreigners, if the country only gives them what anyone cannot be denied, how can they love their country?

5. 法律，所以分数也停了。-烟斗

5. The law has stopped the scores, so has the pipe.- Pipe

6. 国因法兴，法因人贵。-里连

6. The nation prospers because of the law, and the law is honored because of the people. - Liliang

7. 这对于照亮他们双方的事业都是不可或缺的，而且因为这类哲学家就其本性不会进行阴谋诡计和结党营私，所以也就不会蒙有宣传家这一诽谤的嫌疑了。

7. This is indispensable for illuminating both of their endeavors, and because philosophers of this kind, by their very nature, do not engage in intrigues or factionalism, they also do not bear the suspicion of being propagandists.

8. 假如他们甚至连社会安全的权利也享受不到，生命、自由和财产都任凭有权力的人们摆布，不能（或者说，不允许他们）得到法律的保障，那就更糟糕了。他们要尽文明的社会状态的义务，却连自然状态中的一般权益都享受不到，也不能用自己的力量保护自己。

8. If they even do not enjoy the right to social security, and their lives, freedoms, and properties are at the mercy of those in power, unable (or not allowed) to receive legal protection, then it is even worse. They are expected to fulfill the obligations of a civilized social state, yet they do not even enjoy the general rights in the state of nature, nor can they protect themselves with their own strength.

9. 不能期待国王哲学化或者哲学家成为国王，而且也不能这样希望，因为掌握权力就不可避免地会败坏理性的自由判断。但是无论国王还是（按照平等法律在统治他们自身的）国王般的人民，都不应该使这类哲学家消失或者缄默，而是应该让他们公开地讲话；

9. One should not expect the king to philosophize or for philosophers to become kings, nor should one hope for such a scenario, for the possession of power inevitably corrupts the free judgment of reason. However, neither the king nor (the people ruling themselves with equal laws) should cause such philosophers to disappear or be silent, but rather should allow them to speak openly;

10. 法律保护人们不受任意对待。它给人一种安全感和可靠感，防止人们未来处于不祥的黑暗中。布鲁纳

10. The law protects people from arbitrary treatment. It gives them a sense of security and reliability, preventing them from being in an ominous darkness in the future. Bruno

11. 社会条约的目的是保护缔约者。要想达到目的就必须使用手段，而这些手段和某些冒险，甚至和某些牺牲是分不开的。如果一个人在保全自己生命的时候要依靠别人，那么当别人的生命需要得到保护时，他也要献出自己的生命。

11. The purpose of the social compact is to protect the parties involved. In order to achieve this purpose, means must be employed, and these means are inseparable from certain risks, even from certain sacrifices. If a person must rely on others to preserve their own life, then when the life of others needs protection, they too must be willing to sacrifice their own life.

12. 法律是权威的审判指南或基础。-磅

12. Law is the authoritative guide or foundation for judicial decisions. - pound

13. 自由是一种生活方式，必须有自己权威的纪律和约束。李普曼

13. Freedom is a way of life, and it must have its own authoritative discipline and constraints. - Lippmann

14. 法律的力量应该跟随公民，就像影子跟随身体一样。贝卡利亚

14. The power of the law should follow the citizen, just as a shadow follows the body. - Beccaria

15. 法律绝不是一成不变的。相反，就像天空和海洋因风浪而变化一样，规律也因形势和运势而变化。-黑格尔

15. Law is never immutable. On the contrary, just as the sky and the sea change with the winds and waves, the laws also change with the circumstances and the fates. - Hegel

16. 法若明，贤者不可咎，强者不可侵弱，众者不可暴。——韩非

16. If the law is clear, the wise cannot be blamed, the strong cannot infringe upon the weak, and the many cannot be violent. - Han Fei

17. 一个微小而稍纵即逝的期待往往可以从纯粹的自然环境中产生，而一个强烈而持久的期待只能来自法律。边沁

17. A small and fleeting anticipation often arises from a pure natural environment, while a strong and enduring anticipation can only come from law. - Bentham

18. 世界上只有两件事能深深震撼我们的心灵。一个是我们头顶灿烂的星空，一个是我们心中崇高的道德法则。-康德

18. There are only two things that can deeply震撼 our souls in the world. One is the brilliant starry sky above our heads, and the other is the noble moral principles within our hearts. - Kant

19. 法律是最安全的头盔。-爱软木

19. The law is the safest helmet. - Love cork.

20. 没有法律的地方，在所有能接受法律支配的人类国家里，就没有自由。-洛克

20. Where there is no law, there is no freedom in all human countries that can be governed by law. - Locke

21. 宪法是一个国家几代人参与对话的无止境的流动话语。劳伦·科布

21. The Constitution is an endless flow of dialogic discourse involving generations of a country. -- Lauren Cockburn

22. 托克维尔在《旧制度与大革命》中，表达了自己在研究法国大革命的法律时代背景时发现的一个“悖论”：

22. Tocqueville, in "The Old Regime and the Revolution," expresses a "paradox" that he discovered while studying the legal background of the French Revolution.

23. 革命的发生并非总因为人们的处境越来越坏。最经常的情况是，一向毫无怨言仿佛若无其事地忍受着最难忍受的法律的人民，一旦法律的压力减轻，他们就将它猛力抛弃。被革命摧毁的政权几乎总是比它前面的那个政权更好。

23. The occurrence of a revolution is not always because people's situation gets worse and worse. The most common situation is that the people who have been enduring the most intolerable laws without any complaint and as if nothing had happened, once the pressure of the laws is reduced, they will throw them away fiercely. The regime destroyed by the revolution is almost always better than the one before it.

24. 你们在我们的家里放置炸弹，恐吓我们的孩子，你们让戴着KKK尖顶帽的暴徒进入我们的社区，你们在一些路边殴打我们，把我们打得半死，奄奄一息，可是，我们仍然爱你们。

24. You placed bombs in our home, terrifying our children; you allowed KKK hoodlums into our community; you beat us on the streets, leaving us half-dead, gasping for breath, yet, we still love you.

25. 法律不能让人人平等，但法律面前人人平等。英国法学家波洛克

25. The law cannot make everyone equal, but everyone is equal before the law. This is according to the British legal scholar Pollock.

26. 自由是在法律允许的范围内做事情的权利。-西塞罗

26. Freedom is the right to do things within the scope allowed by the law. - Ciceron

27. 法律有两个基础，只有两个…公平和实用。伯克

27. The law has two foundations, and only two… justice and utility. Burke

28. 法律是强制性的命令。-凯尔森

28. Law is a mandatory command. - Hans Kelsen

29. 如果法律是不公正的，它就不可能存在。-奥古斯丁

29. If the law is unjust, it cannot exist. - Augustine

30. 有两种力量带来稳定:法律和礼貌。-歌德

30. There are two forces that bring stability: law and manners. - Goethe

31. 我们将以自己忍受苦难的能力，来较量你们制造苦难的能力。我们将用我们灵魂的力量，来抵御你们物质的暴力。我们不会对你们诉诸仇恨，但是我们也不会屈服于你们不公正的法律。你们可以继续干你们想对我们干的暴行，然而我们仍然爱你们。

31. We will measure your ability to create suffering by our own capacity to endure it. We will use the power of our souls to resist your material violence. We will not appeal to hatred against you, but we will also not submit to your unjust laws. You can continue to commit the atrocities you wish upon us, yet we still love you.

32. 法学研究的目的是一种预测，即通过法院的工具性活动来预测公权力的影响力。福尔摩斯

32. The purpose of legal research is a prediction, that is, to predict the influence of public power through the instrumental activities of the courts. Sherlock Holmes.

33. 制定法律是为了确保每个人都能自由发展他的才能，而不是限制他的才能。罗伯斯庇尔

33. The purpose of enacting laws is to ensure that everyone can freely develop their talents, not to restrict them. - Robespierre

35. 制定法律是为了确保每个人都能自由发展他的才能，而不是束缚他的才能。罗伯斯庇尔

35. The purpose of making laws is to ensure that everyone can freely develop his talents, rather than to bind them. - Robespierre

36. 而且经验告诉我们，对于一个坏政府来说，最危险的时刻通常就是它开始改革的时刻。……人们耐心忍受着苦难，以为被消除的所有流弊似乎更容易使人觉察到尚有其他流弊存在，于是人们的情绪便更激烈：痛苦的确已经减轻，但是感觉却更加敏锐。

36. And experience teaches us that for a bad government, the most dangerous moment usually comes when it begins to reform. ... People endure hardships with patience, thinking that the elimination of all the ills makes it easier to notice that there are still other ills remaining, and thus their emotions become more intense: the pain has indeed lessened, but the sensitivity has increased.

37. 法律规定的处罚不是为了私利，而是为了公共利益；一部分靠有害的强制，一部分靠榜样的效力。格老秀斯

37. The punishment stipulated by law is not for private gain, but for the public interest; part of it relies on harmful coercion, and part on the efficacy of examples. Grotius

38. 一项法律越是预设其接受者的邪恶行为，它就越好。拉德布鲁赫

38. The better a law presumes the malevolent behavior of its recipients, the better it is. – Radbruch

39. 法律，所以人民被禁止做错事，使他们远离善。——欧阳修

39. Laws, therefore, are禁止 people from doing wrong, keeping them away from goodness. — Ouyang Xiu

40. 而且公民自己也不应该去判断法律要求他去冒的是哪种危险。当君主对他说“你要为了国家去死”，他就应该去死；正因为如此，他才一直都享受着安全，这样他的生命才不是单纯的自然的恩赐，而是国家的一种有条件的赠礼。

40. Moreover, citizens themselves should not judge the kind of danger the law requires them to face. When the monarch tells him, "You must die for the country," he should die; precisely because of this, he has always enjoyed safety, and thus his life is not merely a natural gift but a conditional gift from the state.

41. 疏法不如密心，宽令不如严主。吕坤

41. It is better to have a close mind than loose laws, and better to have a strict ruler than lenient commands. — Lu Kun

42. 在这种情况下，他们会陷入一个自由的人所能设想的无可再坏的情况。这时，在他们看来“国家”二字就是纯然可憎可复可笑的东西了。

42. In this case, they would fall into a situation that no free person could imagine to be worse. At this moment, in their eyes, the word "country" becomes purely loathsome and laughable.
