本文选自SAT阅读官方指南第4套题，Burke对于法国革命的评论，Burke是个保守派，他的观点偏向于反对革命，支持传统。
To avoid . . . the evils of inconstancy and versatility, ten thousand times worse than those of obstinacy and the blindest prejudice, we have consecrated the state, that no man should approach to look into its defects or corruptions but with due caution; that he should never dream of beginning its reformation by its subversion; that he should approach to the faults of the state as to the wounds of a father, with pious awe and trembling solicitude.
生词注解：
inconstancy: 反复无常
versatility:易变, 反复无常;
obstinacy: 顽固
consecrate: 使成为圣地

译文:为了避免反复无常和前后不一的恶果(那要比固执和最盲目的偏见还坏上一千倍)我们把国家尊为神圣：不应该有人擅自妄为去随便指摘它的错误和腐败之处，不应该有人用颠覆的行为来对它进行改革 ; 而是应该指出国家的错误的时候，就好似带着满怀虔诚的畏惧和战栗的态度去触碰父亲的创伤。
