No Vote No Opinion英语美文摘抄带翻译

 　　No Vote, No Opinion不投票就不要发表意见

　　In the United States, you can pretty much vote for who you want to be President if you are 18 years or older and a U.S. citizen. People don't realize how great this is. In some countries, power is passed on to relatives, and the people don't get a say in who the leader of the country should be. However, a lot of people in the United States, especially young people, do not vote.

　　在美国，如果你是18岁或更大或是美国公民，你可以机会给总统投票，人们一般都不知道这是多么伟大，在一些国家，权力只传给亲戚，而公民却不能说，国家领导人的位置应该是谁。相反，美国大部分的人，特别是年轻的，是不允许投票的。

　　There are many reasons why people don't vote. Firstly, they don't believe their vote matters. The truth is, everyone's vote matters! Secondly, they don't think that anything will change if they vote. Although, it's hard to see big changes right away, the presidential candidate you vote for affects many policies. Thirdly, people are lazy to go out of their house to vote. This is the worst excuse.

　　人们不投票的原因有很多。首先，他们不相信自己的票有用。事实是，每个人的投票都很重要！其次，他们认为如果他们投票，事情也不会有任何改变。虽然，这不会立竿见影，候选人投票也会影响许多政策。第三，人们懒得走出自己的房子去投票，这是最坏的借口。

　　People need to realize that voting is a privilege. Imagine if we couldn't vote. We would feel out of the loop. We would feel that our opinion doesn't matter. If you don't vote for a candidate, then you have no right to complain about the president who will be elected.

　　人们需要意识到投票是一种特权。想象一下如果我们不能投票，我们就会觉得自己像个局外人，会觉得我们的意见没有关系。如果你不投票给一个候选人，那么你没有权利抱怨被选举出来的总统。
