数十万名在过去三个星期内聚集在开罗解放广场的人民已经表明了对民主的渴求，并愿意为此付出努力甚至是牺牲。 而他们是否有足够人数，足够资源，足够耐心，足够聪明和足够勇敢 — — 也足够幸运 — — 去实现民主，则是只有埃及人民才能回答的问题。
The political sentiments of many of the hundreds of thousands of people who gathered in Cairo’s Tahrir Square over the last three weeks leave little doubt that they do want democracy, and are willing to work and even to sacrifice for it.  Whether they are numerous enough, resourceful enough, patient enough, wise enough, and brave enough – and whether they will be lucky enough – to achieve it is a question that only the people of Egypt can answer.
