較完整段落

The guard of a [legitimate] king is composed of citizens: that of a tyrant is composed of foreigners.

It is a habit of tyrants never to like anyone who has a spirit of dignity and independence. The tyrant claims a monopoly of such qualities for himself; he feels that anybody who asserts a rival dignity, or acts with independence, is threatening his own superiority and the despotic power of his tyranny; he hates him accordingly as a subverter of his own authority. It is also a habit of tyrants to prefer the company of aliens to that of citizens at table and in society; citizens, they feel, are enemies, but aliens will offer no opposition.”

合法國王的衛隊由公民組成，而暴君的衛隊由外人組成。

暴君的習慣是從不喜歡那些有尊嚴和獨立精神的人。暴君聲稱這些特質只屬於他自己；他覺得任何宣稱競爭尊嚴或獨立行動的人都在威脅他自己的優越性和暴政的權力；因此，他恨那些挑戰他權威的人。另外，暴君在餐桌上和社交場合更喜歡與外人相處，而非公民；他們覺得公民是敵人，但外人不會提出反對。
