I believe this is the most unfair, politically biased, rigged process that I have seen in my entire life.

我相信這是我一生中所見過最不公平、最政治偏頗、最不正當的程序。

If Republicans want to defend the president's indefensible behaviour, they can do so.

I believe that Democrats are tearing this country apart.

我相信民主黨正在分裂著這個國家。

They're tearing families apart.

他們正在拆散家庭。

When Jesus was falsely accused of treason, Pontius Pilate gave Jesus the opportunity to face his accusers.

當耶穌被誣告叛國罪時，總督彼拉多給予耶穌面對指控者的機會。

During that sham trial, Pontius Pilate afforded more rights to Jesus than the Democrats have afforded this president and this process.

在那個假審判中，彼拉多給予耶穌的權利還比這次彈劾程序中民主黨給予總統的權力還多。

Well, just because you hate the president of the United States and you can find no other reason other than the fact that you're so blinded by your hate that you can't see straight that you've decided the only way we can make sure this president doesn't get elected again is to impeach him.

單單只是因為你們憎恨這位美國總統，而且找不到除了自己被憎恨蒙蔽得無法理智思考以外的理由，所以就決定保證這位總統不再選上的唯一方法就是彈劾他。

President Trump's behaviour is exactly what our founders feared most.

我們的開國者最害怕的就是川普總統的行為。

They knew that with the awesome power of the presidency came the risk of a president abusing that power for personal gain.

他們知道，總統莫大的職權將帶來總統為自身利益而濫用該權力的風險。

Mommy, what did grandma do?

媽咪，奶奶做了什麼事？

I want my daughter to be able to tell her children grandma did the right thing because in America, no one is above the law.

我希望我女兒能夠向她的孩子說奶奶做了正確的事，因為在美國無人凌駕於法律之上。

The president did nothing wrong in this issue.

川普總統在這個爭議中並沒做錯事。

It's a sham, a witch hunt, and it's tantamount to a coup.

這是個騙局和政治迫害，甚至相當於一場政變。

I see coming up a president who will put his head down even through this sham impeachment, and he will do his job.

我所看到的，是一位在這樁虛假彈劾案間仍會埋頭苦幹的總統，而且他會盡滿職責。

He will put the American people first.

他會把美國人民擺第一。

He will tell them that I care about you.

他會告訴大家：「我真的在乎你。」

I am about to say something my Democratic colleagues hate to hear.

我接下來要說出民主黨同僚們非常不樂於聽見的話。
