Question

请翻译这篇短文.

As a foreigner，I don’ t know the situation in the US well.Seeing all kinds of recent shooting incidents，I think it should be controlled more strictly than now.Somebody said that the person who has it in mind to kill another can do it without a gun，so the causes of murders are not guns but the trend of despising (蔑视) life in the US.And they also insist that there is no clear evidence that the increasing number of murders is connected with possession of guns，so the personal rights should not be restricted by the reason that there is not enough evidence.
Several months ago，I agreed with that partly.But as we know，the private groups like NRA have used the public opinion and persuaded the government to protect their profit.Other weapons such as knives，razors，bats are made for their own usage.But guns are made for only one reason—to kill someone.Of course，there are people who have guns to protect themselves from the criminals.But crime is getting more cruel and severe nowadays，so actually even if someone has a gun，it is impossible to guard himself completely.
As a substitute，I think，if the possession of guns is controlled more strictly，people can live safer lives than now.There are other reasons to oppose the gun control (e.g.the possession of guns is historical inheritance (继承)and represents that people’s resistance will beagainst tyrannical (专制的)government)，but none of them can justify and explain today’s serious situation in the US.

Answer 1

和其他外国人一样,我是对美国的情况不是十分了解.看到最近的枪击案,我觉得这应该要比以前跟严格的去管制.有些人说那些杀人犯即使不用枪也会杀人,所以这些谋杀案件并不是完全因为枪而是因为美国存在歧视的风气.而且他们也坚持认为这些谋杀案没有很明确的证据表明因为大家都拥有枪所以才容易引发杀人案,所以个人拥有枪的这个权利不应该因为这个没实际证据的理由而受约束.

几个月前,我赞成这个政党.就像目前我们知道的,这些私人组织例如NRA,用大家的意见去说服政府试图保护他们的利益,其他的武器例如刀,刮胡刀,球棒都有它们的用途.但枪只有一个用途,就是杀人.当然,也有一种可能性是人们遇到危险会拿枪自保.但犯罪将会使目前这个社会变得更残酷,所以真的就算人们有枪,也不可能用枪去保护自己让自己毫发无损.

换一个角度想,我认为,假如个人拥有的枪比现在更严格的管制,那么人们会比现在更安全.还有一些其他理由不能成功的管制枪械(私有拥有枪械是历史流传下来的还有象征着人们会有能力去抵抗这政府的专制和独裁),但那些都不能合理解释美国现今严重的局面.
