Explanation:
解释:
The United States is full of many different kinds of people with many different experiences, education, and beliefs. But no matter how different they are, they all have certain rights (or things that people can do) in common, meaning that they all have the same basic rights. The freedom of expression and freedom of speech let people say whatever they want to, with only a few exceptions or limitations. Freedom of assembly lets people meet in groups. Freedom to petition the government lets people try to change their government and ask it to help them. Freedom of worship lets people follow whatever religion they want to, or none at all. And finally, the right to bear arms lets people buy and have guns.
美国有许多不同经历，不同教育和不同信仰的人们，但不管他们有多大的区别,都享有相同的基本权利。言论自由使人们可以除少数例外和限制情况外自由表达自己的想法，集会自由是人们可以以团体形式聚集，向政府请愿的自由使人们可以试图改变政府并请求帮助，宗教自由使人们可以按自己意愿选择信仰或者什么都不选，最后携带武器的权利使人们可以购买和拥有枪支。
That last right, the right to bear arms, is much more controversial (or is not easy for people to agree about) than the other rights. Because Americans have the right to bear (or have and use) arms (which include guns and other weapons), there are many guns owned by individual people for their own use in the United States. Some of these guns just stay in the homes or are used to hunt (or kill animals, usually to eat the meat). But other guns are used to hurt and kill people illegally. Some people believe that if we didn’t have the right to bear arms, there wouldn’t be as many lethal (or deadly) shootings.
最后一项携带枪支的权利比其他权利更受争议，因为美国人有权带枪，在美国有很多私人拥有的枪支，其中有些人只是把枪放家里或打猎用，但有些枪被用来伤害他人。有些人认为入股偶没有携带枪支枪支的权利，就不会有这么多致命事件。
When the Founding Fathers gave Americans the right to bear arms, people who fought in the militia (or the army) were not professional soldiers. They were everyday people who helped to fight for their country and they had to bring their own guns. Many people think that the Founding Fathers gave Americans the right to bear arms so that our country could fight against its enemies (or the people and countries who are against our country). The Founding Fathers could not have imagined the situation today, where many people have guns and use them illegally. The people who think this way would like to get rid of (or not have) the right to bear arms.
当建国元首们给予美国人携带武器的权利时，为军队战斗的人不是专业军人，他们是为国家而战的普通平民，带的都是自己的枪支。很多人认为建国元首们给予美国人携带武器的权利是觉得他们能与敌人抗战。建国元首们无法想象现在许多人持枪做违法事情，如果能想到这种情况的话就他们可能就取消持枪的权利了。
But other people strongly think that Americans should continue to have the right to bear arms. They think that having a gun is part of what it means to be an American. Because people on both sides of the issue have such strong beliefs, the right to bear arms continues to be very controversial.
不过另一些人强烈认为美国人应该继续拥有携带武器的权利，他们认为拥有枪是作为美国人的一部分。因意见双方都持有强烈的意见，因此携带武器的权力仍是受争议的话题。
