During the recent Democratic presidential debate, Bernie Sanders suggested that Americans “look to countries like Denmark, like Sweden and Norway, and learn from what they have accomplished for their working people.” Hillary Clinton, however, thought the policy solutions would be found closer to home. “We are not Denmark. I love Denmark. We are the United States of America. And it’s our job to rein in the excesses of capitalism so that it doesn’t run amok and doesn’t cause the kind of inequities we’re seeing in our economic system.” Commentators declared that in that moment, Clinton “clearly gained the upper hand” and “walloped” Sanders. But is it really so crazy to suggest that Americans could copy a thing or two from foreign lands?

在最近的民主党总统候选人辩论中,伯尼•桑德斯表示,美国“应该向丹麦、瑞典及挪威等国学习他们为劳动人民所做的事。”然而，希拉里克林顿认为政策解决方案应该符合国情。“我们不是丹麦人，我喜欢丹麦，我们是美利坚合众国。我们有责任控制在资本主义工作中的过度行为，以避免在工作中横冲直撞，鲁莽行事，同时也便于我们看到经济体制中存在的不公平现象。”评论家宣称，在那一刻，克林顿“明显占了上风”而桑德“遭到鞭笞”。但是有人认为美国应该向其他国家学习一二，这种想法真的很疯狂吗？

Many successful TV shows started in other countries. http://www.toptenz.net/10-amer... Americans are open to new ideas if we don’t know that they’re imported.

很多成功的电视节目都起源于其他国家。http://www.toptenz.net/10-amer。。。如果我们不知道这些是进口的，那么美国人对新想法还真是开放吖。

Like the Daily Show, South Park, and Family Guy, right?

比如《每日秀》，《南方公园》，《居家男人》，是吗？

Not to mention that nearly everyone's ancestor was a foreigner in America at one time. 

更不用说，在美国几乎每个人的祖先都曾经是“外国人”。

My ancestors were born in the British crown colony of Virginia and the British proprietary colon of Maryland, not in the U.S.

我的祖先出生在弗吉尼亚英国直属殖民地和马里兰英国独占殖民地，不是在美国。

This sort of thinking does occur on the local scale. But given that we seem to be entering a xenophobic renaissance right now, it would be impossible for foreign ideas to gain acceptance nation wide in the short or medium term.

这类想法还是小众。但鉴于我们似乎进入了一个排外主义复兴的时期，外国思想很难在中短期内就获得国内主流的认可。

Geez, adolescent minds always see things that vex them as irrational fear or hate.

天呐，未成年总把他们看不惯的事情就当作非理性恐惧或憎恨。

"we seem to be entering a xenophobic renaissance right now...."
Please explain what you mean by this.

“我们似乎进入了一个排外主义复兴的时期……” 
请解释下你这句是什么意思。

LorryBootTruckTrunk  Mitbert Strangejoy • 12 hours ago
His xenophobic Renaissance seems to be afflicting the western world in toto moreso than just one nation

他说的排外主义复兴似乎指整个西方世界而不仅仅某一个国家。

We need to go back to Republic conservative values

Which ones are those, then?

Oh no, you don't get to make a claim then demand that others do your research or clarify your terms. That's not how discourse works.
Define 'Republic Conservative Values', please.

哦不，你不能要求别人帮你的观点做解释，讨论不是这么讨论的。
请定义“共和保守价值观”。

Yes. And we must destroy Cathage. It remains the greatest threat to our Republic. Not those Gracchi, not the guys with the armies, Carthage.

是的，我们必须摧毁迦太基（注：地中海地区古城），它对共和国的威胁最大。但并不是这些格拉古兄弟（注：公元前133~前121年古罗马政治家），也不是军队的那些家伙，只是迦太基而已。

No, we need to move FORWARD from conservative values.
You can't solve 21st. century problems with 19th century ideas.

不，我们需要远离保守的价值观。
你不能用十九世纪的思维，来解决二十一世纪的问题。

Lol. $900 billion and the best thing you can think of is to give $175k chunks to old people?

弱爆了:-D。9千亿美元…你所能想到的最好的方式就是花费175千美元来帮助老人？

JackDawkins  Joseph Stallman • a day ago
Why "lol"? Think of it as the equivalent of funding Social Security. Imagine giving everyone back their SS tax payments. You don't think that would be a good goal/a good use of funds?

为什么是“弱爆了”？应该把它认为是资助社会保障的对等物。想象一下，把每个人的税收返回。你认为那不是一个好的方法/基金的好的用途？

Joseph Stallman  JackDawkins • a day ago
Because it's lame. They should use it to fund an open party 24/7/365 for all citizens. Anyone can come and get as drunk or high as they want. The government who did that would be in power for life.

因为这样毫无说服力。对所有的市民来说，他们应该用这些钱来建设一个更加开放的社会，每一个人都可以得到他们想要的，这么做的政府将永远执掌权力。

One difference is we have a constitution that imposes some policy choices. For example, we protect free speech to a degree that almost no other country does. But this isn't random, this is due to the First Amendment.

不同点是，我们有这样一个宪法，这个宪法实施一些政策选择。列如，我们在某种程度上保护言论自由，几乎没有国家做到这种程度。但这并不是随机的，是因为宪法第一修正案。

P.S. This is a bit off the subject, but I am so tired of people (like this author) claiming we could greatly reduce gun deaths in this country by emulating Australia. Australia did a mandatory buyback of some rifles and shotguns (NOT pistols). In America, from the most recent FBI data, rifles and shotguns together account for only 4.8% of all murders, or 7% of gun murders. Even if you could wave a magic wand and make all shotguns and rifles disappear (much stronger than what the Aussies did; Australia only bought back about 20% of theirs) there'd be hardly any difference.

注：这有点远离主题。我对这些人（就像这个作者）感到非常无语，他们宣称可以通过效仿澳大利亚，来减少这个国家的枪击致死案。澳大利亚强制回购一些步枪和霰弹枪（不是手枪）。在美国，从最近的FBI数据可知，步枪和霰弹枪一起在所有谋杀案中仅占4.8%，或是占枪支谋杀案中的7%。即使你挥动魔杖使这些步枪和霰弹枪消失（比澳大利亚人还狠，澳大利亚仅回购20%），也很难有所不同。

I've a friend who had to give up target shooting in Australia because of the new laws -- it was just too expensive to continue (and she was being considered for the national team).
Let's put it this way, we're a nation with a healthy hunting culture. There's no way that a law like this would pass if it meant that people couldn't be able to afford to hunt.

我在澳大利亚的一个朋友因为新法案的原因不得不放弃标靶射击，继续下去的开销太大了（国家队考虑过收她）。
这么说吧，我们国家有着健康的捕猎文化。如果法案意味着人们将无法负担打猎开销，那根本就不可能通过。

Would you also be fine with imposing a six month probation period on everyone's right to free speech? Maybe we should issue licenses for that, too.
And freedom of religion should only apply to religions approved by the State. It works for communist China, right?
How many of my constitutional rights are you planning to make illegal, sir? 

你是不是也觉得自由言论判6个月的缓刑可以接受？
或许应该发个执照批准。
只能信仰国家赞成的宗教。共产主义中国就是这么干的，不是吗？
还有多少宪法规定的权利你打算改成违法，大人？
