……最有影响力的书绝对是英译本钦定版圣经（King James Bible，不在这个书单里，看来书单主要关注的是在美国出版的书）。我认为托马斯·潘恩（Thomas Paine）的《常识》（Common Sense，1776年）（我读过，其论证在很大程度上依赖于圣经）同样极具影响力。
…very most influential book is the King James ("Authorized") English-language translation of the Bible (not on the list, which apparently focuses on books published in America). I think Thomas Paine's Common Sense (1776) (which I have read, and which relies heavily on the Bible for its argument) was also very influential.
……这一两个人（像克莱芙或黑斯廷斯）的所作所为。让我用一份文献来结束我的论证吧，这份文献在独立战争前夕就英国对美国人的意图发出了警告——那就是托马斯·潘恩的《常识》。他警告美国关于英国王室的所有事情，在印度全都应验了；而当时美国其实也并不团结——保皇派比革命派还要多，而且……
…the doing of one or two men like Clive or Hastings. Let me close my argument by asking you to read a document that warned of British intentions to the Americans just before the American revolution - Common Sense by Thomas Paine. All the things he warned America about the British crown came true for India, whereas America which was also not united at the time - there were more loyalists than revolutionaries and…
……职业方面：彼得·德鲁克（Peter F. Drucker）的书。个人方面：马可·奥勒留的《沉思录》、大卫·休谟的《人性论》、弗雷德里克·巴斯夏的《法律》、本杰明·富兰克林的《自传》、托马斯·潘恩的《常识》、爱克曼的《歌德谈话录》、托克维尔的《旧制度与大革命》、约翰·斯图尔特·密尔的《论自由》、赫伯特·……的《人对国家》
…Professionally: Peter F. Drucker's books. Personally: "Meditations" by Marcus Aurelius, "A Treatise of Human Nature" by David Hume, "The Law" by Frédéric Bastiat, "Autobiography" by Benjamin Franklin, "Common Sense" by Thomas Paine, "Gespräche mit Goethe" by Johann Peter Eckermann, "The Old Regime and the Revolution" Alexis de Tocqueville, "On Liberty" by John Stuart Mill, "The Man Versus the State" by Herbert…
……无论他们最初对公民的定义做了多么严苛的限制。他们指望公民能够做出理性的选择，受过良好教育、博览群书，并且是理性行为者。我强烈推荐汤姆·潘恩的《常识》。
…however much they may have initially limited the definition of a citizen. They expected the citizens to make reasoned choices, to be educated, to be well-read and to be rational actors. I highly suggest 'Common Sense' by Tom Paine.
大部分情况下我更喜欢你的书单，但我确实认为每个人都应该读读托马斯·潘恩的著作。特别是，我认为每一个美国人都应该先在高中必读《常识》，之后作为选民登记流程的一部分每年读一次（连同《独立宣言》、《宪法》和《权利法案》一起）。我恰好还认为……
For the most part, I like your list better, but I do think everyone should read the works of Thomas Paine. In particular, I think that every single American should have to read Common Sense first in high school, and then annually as a part of registration process for voting (Along with the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights.) I also happen to think that…
很棒的书单。我还会加上托马斯·潘恩的《常识》，它在当时的时代精神中产生了巨大的影响力。
A great list. I'd also add Common Sense by Thomas Paine, which was a huge influence in the zeitgeist of the time.
