民主地

So, whether for the expansion of bureaucracy's administrative power, or for the bureaucratization of democratic organizations, we must have a"limit".

如果民主机构因过度地官僚制化而转变成一种事实上的"官僚体制"，那么，历史上那种官僚制一统天下的局面又会重新出现，民主政治将不复存在，而专制政治则会在现代社会重新上演。

General Musharraf does not rule by the will of the people, but dictatorially within a hobbled democratic system. He ostensibly restored democracy in 2002, but meanwhile claimed huge powers for his office.

穆沙拉夫将军不是一个按民意统治的人，而是一个残疾民主体系中的独裁者。2002年时他装腔作势地恢复了民主，却在私底下大肆攫取权力。

After the transplantation of European Protestantism on American soil, the idiosyncratic environmental factors, such as the huge size of the colonies, the multiplicity of religious denominations, and the religious revivalism of the early eighteenth century, contributed to the establishment of democratic theology and democratic ecclesiology.

欧洲新教在传入美洲以后，受到当时环境（如开发地的广大、种族与宗教派别的多样性、以及十八世纪初期宗教大复兴运动）的影响，促成了美国宗教体系中民主神学和民主教权的出现，影响到美国人民选择了独立的道路以及民主政府的体制。

Owing to the effect of extensionality and demonstration, once the normal model of community participation had been formed, it cannot be confined in public affairs of community;"community democracy" pushes the development of socialist democratic politics from bottom to top inevitably.

一旦社区政治参与的规范模式形成，由于社区民主的外延性和示范性的作用，政治参与范围不可能局限于社区的公共事务，必然会超越社区的范围自下而上地推进社会主义民主政治的发展。

For democracy advocates inside and outside of China, the Communist party's relative success in improving its governance capacity means that arguments resting on the a priori assumption of democracy's superiority will fall on deaf ears.

对中国国内外的民主倡导者来说，中国共产党相对成功地提高其执政能力意味着，建立在民主政体优越性假设前提之上的论点，将被置若罔闻。

At this stage of geopolitical history it is clear that our illusion about the virtue of our Post-Democratic condition should be finally over; that it is a pastiche of Democracy, the power of a small oligarchy that detains power, eluding its responsibilities.

在这个地缘政治历史的舞台上，很清楚地显示出：我们对后民主状态的幻想将最终幻灭，它将是一个大杂烩式的民主，小小的寡头政治据有权力却回避着责任。

"I would like to mention that our President, Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, our Foreign Minister, Alberto Romulo and the Indonesian members of the IPU particularly have strongly come out for a more effective sanction against the ruling junta in Myanmar unless they go back to the roadmap of democracy that should include all the key players for democratization in Burma including Aung San Suu Kyi," said Pimentel.

皮门特尔说："我愿意在此表明，我国总统阿罗约、外长罗慕洛以及印度尼西亚在各国议会联盟中的成员都特别强烈地要求更有效地制裁缅甸军政府，除非军政府回到民主的路线图上来。这包括释放缅甸所有主要的民主活动人士，也包括昂山素季。"

There are those who say that Lin Yi-hsiung is a senior statesman of the DPP, a heavyweight figure, and his words often put pressure on Chen Shui-bian, but Lin's influence certainly does not come from his charismatic appeal to the masses or his being an authoritative leader, on the contrary, it's his insistence on unadorned democratic ideals that make him charge undauntedly ahead even as he is faced with a powerful army, and even though he is valuable as an ally of the president, once he violates this faith, he cannot but make blunt criticisms.

有人说，林义雄是民进党元老、是重量级人物，他的话常常让陈水扁有「难以承受之重」的压力，但是林义雄的影响力绝不是来自他的群众魅力或者他是一个威权的领导人，相反的，而是他坚持一种素朴的民主理想性格，这种素朴的民主理念，让他虽千万人吾往矣，即使是贵为总统的同志，一旦违反此种信念，他都会不假辞色地予以批评。

I know that we have problems. I know that many disagree with our Government's policies. Many in Israel, too, disagree from time to time with the Government's policies, and are free to do so, because Zionism has created the first and only real democratic State in a part of the world that never really knew democracy and freedom of speech.

我知道我们有很多问题，我知道有很多人反对我们政府的政策，在以色列，同样有很多人不时地会反对政府的政策，他们有这样的自由，因为锡安主义在这片从没有真正实现过民主和言论自由的土地上，第一次创造了一个、真正民主的国家。

Deliberative democracy is, on the basis of reflecting competitive democratic theory, regives citizens the enthusiasm to participate in public affairs. It reckons that citizens political participation should not be restricted to periodic vote or aperiodic activities such as demonstrations. Citizens should, under the premise of open and transparent information and according to certain procedures, freely and equally carry out in full the discussion on the public policies that affect them, and through the legalization of decision by public deliberation, the quality of democratic governance is enhanced.

协商民主就是在反省竞争性民主理论的基础上，重新赋予公民参与公共事务的积极性，认为公民的政治参与不应该局限于定期的投票和不定期的游行示威等活动方式，公民应该在信息公开透明的条件下，依据一定的程序，自由而平等地对影响到自己的公共政策进行公开且充分的讨论，通过公共协商赋予决策的合法性，从而提升民主治理的品质。

Plunder melds and run with this jewel!

掠夺melds和运行与此宝石！

My dream is to be a crazy growing tree and extend at the edge between the city and the forest.

此刻，也许正是在通往天国的路上，我体验着这白色的晕旋。
