"当我想到上帝是公正的，他的公正不会永远沉睡时，我为我的国家感到战栗。"
— Thomas Jefferson
Simplified Meaning:
The quote talks about someone feeling worried for their country because they believe that sooner or later, any wrong or unfair actions will be punished. It’s like when someone cheats in a game. They might win and feel happy for a while, but eventually, they could get caught and face the consequences. If a country does bad things, such as treating people unfairly or harming others, this quote suggests that there will be a time when it has to deal with the results of those actions. Just like in real life, when you do something wrong and it catches up with you eventually, the same idea applies to a whole country. The advice here is to act justly and fairly, so you don’t end up facing harsh consequences later. By treating others well and making good choices, you can avoid the fear of future punishment.
