"只有受过良好教育的人民才能永久地成为自由的人民"

Simplified Meaning:
To be truly free, people need to be well-educated. Knowledge helps them understand their rights and how to protect them. For example, if someone knows about the laws and their rights, they are less likely to be taken advantage of or controlled by others. In history, societies where education was widespread, like ancient Athens, often enjoyed more freedom and democracy. On the other hand, when people don’t know much and are easily fooled, it's easier for dictators or unfair rulers to take power. So, by learning about the world, people can make better decisions and keep their freedom safe.
