"你知道所有男女都是平等的。引述结束。我们从未做到过。杰斐逊从未做到过,他拥有奴隶。女性被排除在外。"
— Joe Biden
Simplified Meaning:
People are born with the same rights and value, but society has often failed to treat everyone this way. Even those who talked about equality did not always practice it. For example, Thomas Jefferson, who wrote about the idea that everyone is equal, owned slaves himself. Similarly, women were not given the same rights and opportunities as men for a long time. This shows that despite the belief in equality, actions didn't always match up. To make real progress, we need to acknowledge these mistakes and work harder to ensure everyone is treated fairly today. Think about making sure everyone gets the same chances at school or work, no matter who they are.
