17. The peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is that it robs the human race. It takes from posterity, as well as the existing generation, and from those who dissent from the opinion even more than from those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth; if it is wrong, they lose what is almost as great a benefit: the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error.

是不简单。抛个砖,不是翻译出身,大概明白什么意思,文笔很差,不懂再问吧。

不让人发表意见观点的罪恶之处在于它剥夺了人的权利。危害后代以及当代的人,同时不利于那些不同意该意见的人。这种不利甚至强于对那些欲发表这些意见的人的不利。为啥呢?如果该观点是正确的,那些不同意该观点的人就失去了纠正的机会。如果它是错误的,这些人也失去了同样重要的好处:因为批驳错误观点而产生的,更清晰生动的对正确观点的认识及表达。
