Phillips said: "The best use of laws is to teach people to trample bed laws under their feet." Revised: W. Phillips suggested that the best use of law is to teach people to trample bad ones under their feet. W·菲利普斯说:“行使法律的最好办法是教导人们把不好的法律踩在脚下。"
w. Phillips said: “The best used laws is to teach men[sic] to trample bad ones under their feet.”
W. Phillips said the best use of laws was to teach people "to trample bad laws under their feet”。 我们赞同Rosalie Maggio所讲的话: “It is also necessary to acknowledge that there can be no solution to the problem of sexism in society on the level of language alone. Using the word secretary inclusively, for example, does not change the fact that only 1.6% of American secretaries are men. Using director instead of directress does not mean a woman will necessarily enjoy the same opportunities today a man might."
