Just in case you want to wonder

防止你想知道
what people are thinking about it.

人们在想什么
And as someone at the time put it,

那时有人说
"Every villain who ravishes our wives

"每个强夺我们妻子
or deflowers our daughters,

或夺去我们女儿贞操的恶棍
can evade punishment by being tried in Britain,

可以通过在英国接受审判来逃避惩罚
where no evidence can pursue him."

在那里没有证据可以起诉他"
We're not really talking so much

我们讲的并不是
about ravishing and deflowering.

强夺或夺去贞操
We're really talking about taxes and such-- but still,

我们讲的是税...但是
you could understand the logic why people feel that--

你能理解为什么人们感到...
again--some fundamental liberties are being violated here.

再一遍...一些基本的自由在这里被侵犯
