as the birthright of every citizen in distress;

仍享受与生俱来的权利
that is, the right to some form of assistance

即市民们有权在困难的时刻
or aid in time of distress.

申请帮助和援助
Chadwick's idea was to economize,

查得维克的主张为减少开支
to minimize the cost of payments,

将支出降到最低
to discourage the poor from applying for relief.

不鼓励贫民申请救济
He wanted to make the experience of receiving relief

他将申请救济的过程变得
more painful than the experience of distress itself,

比自身困境还要痛苦
a principle that was dubbed "The principle of least eligibility."

这被人们称为"合格准则"
The workhouse, in other words,was to be a place of punishment,

劳教所变为人们
of pain and of suffering.

受到痛苦和折磨惩罚的地方
So, work should be, in the workhouse,

因而在劳教所里的工作
