Monologue
One character carrying the scene — shadow the whole passageIn our assessment, money is not speech, and corporations have no free speech rights to begin with. So any claim on their part to be exercising a right is just their attempt to turn our democracy into a plutocracy.
根据我们的认定,金钱不是言论, 而且公司压根就没有言论自由权。 所以他们声称自己在行使权利 不过是想把我们的民主变成财阀统治。
This makes me emotional, and I’m expressing it. I have no difficulty holding both logic and feeling at the same time. And it does not diminish my powers. It expands them.
这让我情绪上来了,而我正在表达它。 我完全可以同时抓住逻辑 和感受。 而这并不会削弱我的力量。 它会扩展它们。
