充满智慧、幽默的哈佛大学公开课-第7讲这是我的土地(4)

洛克告诉了我们它的来源，他给了我们两个答案 。这是第一个答案。
"For men, being all the workmanship of one omnipotent, and infinitely wise maker," Namely God, "They are His property, whose workmanship they are, made to last during his, not one another"s pleasure." So one answer to the question is why can"t I give up my natural rights to life, liberty, and property is well, they"re not, strictly speaking, yours.
《政府论(下篇)》第二章，“论自然状态” 第6节，“既然人类都是无所不能和无限智慧的创世主的创造物，” 也就是上帝，“他们就是他的财产，是他的创造物，他要他们存在多久就存在多久，由不得他们自己作主。”第一个答案解释了为什么我们不能放弃我们的生命，自由和财产权利，因为严格来说它们不是自己的。
After all, you are the creature of God. God has a bigger property right in us, a prior property right.
毕竟，人都是上帝的产物。上帝更有权拥有我们，是种至高无上的权利。
Now, you might say that"s an unsatisfying, unconvincing answer, at least for those who don"t believe in God. What did Locke have to say to them?
你可能觉得这答案无法令人满意，没说服力，至少对那些不信仰上帝的人来说是这样。那么洛克对他们又有什么说法呢？
Well, here is where Locke appeals to the idea of reason and this is the idea, that if we properly reflect on what it means to be free, we will be led to the conclusion that freedom can"t just be a matter of doing whatever we want.
