"以代表忠诚本分的殖民地臣民
dutiful, loyal and humble representation of their condition

向大不列颠王室以及国会
to His Majesty and the Parliament and to implore relief."

提交统一呈情并恳请饶恕"
Okay. So it's a united response but it's also dutiful, loyal and humble,

要众口一辞但又表现得忠诚而谦卑
so on the one hand the fact

一方面来说
that there's going to be some kind of a united colonial statement

这份殖民地团结在一起发表的声明
is interesting and forceful,

引人入胜又有说服力
but on the other hand, dutiful, loyal, humble.

另一方面又是守本分忠诚而谦卑
We're not -- we're not here declaring independence here.

我们此刻不是宣称独立
We're just kind of imploring relief, making a statement that,
