9.What are two rights in the Declaration of Independence?
9.《獨立宣言》中的兩項權利是？
Answer: Life; Liberty; Pursuit of happiness
答案：生存；自由；追求幸福
Explanation: The phrase "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" comes from the Declaration of Independence and it is something Americans talk a lot about.
解釋：“生存，自由和追求幸福”這句話出自《獨立宣言》，它是美國人經(jīng)常談論的東西。
These words were written by Thomas Jefferson.
這句話是托馬斯·杰弗森寫下的。
He and the other men who wrote the Constitution believed that these are unalienable rights,
他和其他撰寫憲法的人認為那些是不可剝奪的權利，
that people are born with and that a government should not be given the power to take them away.
它與生俱來，政府無權剝奪。
These words have become synonymous with (or have the same meaning as) the "American spirit" (or the way that Americans think and feel).
這句話已經(jīng)成為“美國精神”（美國人所思和所感的方式）的同義詞。
In the United States, the right to life is considered the most basic of all rights.
在美國，生存權被認為是所有權利中最基本的一項權利。
It's exactly what it sounds like: the right to be alive.
它聽起來就像是：活著的權利。
It may seem funny that the men who wrote the Declaration of Independence included life as a right,
撰寫《獨立宣言》的人把生存當作一種權利可能會讓人覺得可笑，
but many of the earliest Americans had come from countries that did not take this right seriously.
但是很多最早的美國人來自那些沒有嚴肅對待這種權利的國家。
