than George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, but most people remember at last one fact about him: he wrote the Declaration of 華盛頓和亞伯拉罕 Jefferson lived more than 200 years ago, there is much that we learn from him of his ideas are especially interesting to modern are some of the things he said and wrote:雖然杰斐遜生活在二百多年以前，但我們今天仍可以從他身上學(xué)到很多東西。下面就是他講過和寫過的一些觀點： and believed that a free man obtains knowledge from many sources besides books and that personal investigation is still a young man, he was appointed to a mittee to find out whether the South Branch of the James River was deep enough to be used by large the other members of the mittee sat in the state capitol and studied papers on the subject, Jefferson got into a canoe and made

origins except to give an order, Jefferson went out of his way to talk with gardeners, servants, and once said to the French nobleman, Lafayette, “You must go into the people39。按出身及其所受的教育，杰斐遜均屬于最高的社會階層。有一次杰斐遜曾這樣對法國貴族拉斐特說過：“你必須像我那樣到平民百姓的家里去，看看他們的鍋里煮些什么，吃吃他們的面包?！?for refused to accept other people39。未經(jīng)過認真的思考，杰斐遜絕不接受別人的意見。上帝賜予你一個用來判斷真理和謬誤的頭腦?！?felt that the people “may safely be trusted to hear everything true and false, and to form a correct it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers or newspapers without a

this is a source of is conflict and not unquestioning agreement that keeps freedom Jefferson was for many years the object of strong criticism, he never answered his expressed his philosophy in letters to a friend, “There are two sides to every you take one side with decision and on it with effect, those who take the other side will of course resent your actions.”做你認為是正確的事。使自由保持活力的是沖突而不是絕對的一致。他在寫給一位朋友的信中表達了自己的觀點：“每個問題都有兩面?！?the future。杰斐遜認為，絕不可以用那些已經(jīng)無用的習(xí)俗來束縛住“現(xiàn)在”的手腳。地球是屬于活著的一代的。他評論說：“有多少痛苦是由一些從未發(fā)生過的災(zāi)難引起的??！我期待的是最好的東西，而不是最壞的東西。”39。他懂得的東西也許比同時代的任何人都要多。在人們普遍采用農(nóng)作物輪作和土壤保持的做法之前一個世紀(jì)，他就這樣做了。他影響了整個美國的建筑業(yè)，他還不斷地制造出各種機械裝置，使日常生活中需要做的許多工作變得更加容易。s
