The First Amendment's Press Clause continues to be a structural bulwark of democracy and of the people.

第一条修正案》的"新闻出版条款"继续是维护民主和人民权利的根本保障。

For the First Amendment does not speak equivocally....

因为《第一条修正案》的语言并非模棱两可。

Amendment I Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

第一条修正案国会不得制定有关下列事项的法律：确立一程宗教或禁止信教自由：剥夺言论自由或出版自由：或剥夺人民和平集会及向政府要求伸冤的权利。

Whether the authors of the Press Clause of the First Amendment to the Constitution intended to incorporate the lessons of Zenger's case is debatable, since nearly all the new American states adopted English common law, including its rules on the press, when they became independent. When Congress passed a Sedition Act in 1798 during the quasi-war with France, it allowed truth as a defense to libels allegedly made against the president and government of the United States.

鉴于几乎所有美国新成立的州在独立时都采用英国普通法，包括其中对新闻出版的规定，因此，很难说宪法《第一条修正案》的&新闻出版条款&(&Press Clause&)的起草人是否有意采纳曾格案的教训。1789年国会在美国与法国的短暂冲突中通过的《煽动叛乱法》，允许在对有关诽谤美国总统和政府罪的指控作出反驳时，把真相作为辩护的依据。

Authoritative interpretations of the First Amendment guarantees have consistently refused to recognize an exception for any test of truth – whether administered by judges, juries, or administrative officials – and especially not one that puts the burden of proving truth on the speaker.

历来对《第一条修正案》所提供的保障的权威性解释，都从不承认对证明真相这一点存在任何例外──无论是由法官、陪审员、还是行政官员来证明──尤其不能责成说话人证明真相。

In a variety of contexts this Court has referred to a First Amendment right to receive information and ideas.
