which would have been a period

【那段时期】当时
when opposition to the King's Court

英国宫廷和官员的
and ministers was on the rise in Britain along with

反对势力正在壮大
a growing tradition of praise for English liberties

同时对英国公民自由的赞扬
and the glories of representation in Parliament.

和议会代表权的荣耀感也在增强
So political rhetoric from the era of the Glorious Revolution

所以光荣革命时的政治言辞
would have focused on attacking corruption and corrupt influence,

集中在攻击腐败及其影响
as when a monarch would try to bribe legislators

当一个君主想用官职或钱财
or ministers with high office or pensions granted from the Crown,

贿赂立法者或官员时
thereby subverting the balanced British constitution,

破坏了英国体制的平衡
which is supposed to be balanced between Crown,

这原本应该在国王
Lords and Commons.

贵族和平民之间达成平衡
