In today’s programme, we’re talking about freedom. It’s a big subject and it’s something the BBC has been exploring in its Freedom 2014 season. 
在今天的节目里我们来谈论关于自由的话题。这是一个很大的话题，也是BBC在2014自由季中一直在找寻的东西。
That’s right. There’s been a season of programmes about what freedom means to different people. 
是的。有一段时间的节目讨论对于不同的人来讲自由意味着什么。
Well, we’re going to try and summarise what freedom really is and look at some related vocabulary.But first a definition – what does freedom mean? 
我们接下来将试着概括什么是真正的自由，看一些相关的词汇。但首先自由的定义是什么？
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, freedom is the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants. 
根据牛津英语词典的释义，自由是指一个人去做他想做的事，比如行动、说话、思考。
Yes, it’s something many people expect to have – we consider it our right - but certain people in some of the world do not get to experience the feeling of freedom. 
是的，这是很多人梦寐以求的--我们认为这是我们的权利--但世界上有些人是没有自由的感觉的。
You mean some people are restricted and controlled in what they can and can’t do. 
你是说有些人被限制或被控制他们可以做什么，不能做什么。
Some organisations try to rank countries – or give them a score – based on how free its people are. It’s calculated according to certain factors - and my question for you today Finn is, according to the World Freedom Index 2013 by the Canadian Fraser Institute, the people of which country came out as number one, in terms of having the most freedom? Was it: a) the USA b) Sweden c) New Zealand 
一些阻止试着把国家分成不同的等级--或者给他们打分-基于他们国家的人民自由的程度。根据一些特定的因素将其计算出来，这我今天给你的问题就来了，Finn，根据加拿大 Fraser机构提供的2013世界自由指数，世界上那个国家的自由指数是排在第一位的，也就是说是最自由的？是：a）美国b）瑞典c）新西兰
I’m going to say c) New Zealand. 
我选择C)新西兰
We’ll see if you’re right later on. So let’s talk more about freedom – a word that means many things to many peopleWe sometimes hear about political freedom – where people are able to vote in elections to choose who runs their country – and where people are able to challenge what their leaders do. We often refer to this system as a democracy
一会我们来看一下你回答的是否正确。现在让我们进一步来谈论下自由--这个词对很多人来说意味着很多东西。我们有时候会听到政治自由--人们有选举权来选择让谁来掌权这个国家--人们可以挑战他们的领导人做什么。我们经常把这样的系统认为是一个民主国家。
Many people would say that any system of democracy should automatically include the right to free speech – that’s the right to say what you want about anything you want. We also hear about freedom for women – when they have the same rights as men. This is one form of equality. We also hear about equality for people of different colour, religion or sexual orientation. People usually don’t feel free or equal if they are treated differently because of something like their race, colour, gender or disability. One example of this is the system of apartheid, which passed laws to restrict the freedom and rights of black people in South Africa.
