I don't much go in for style diktats, but I'm not budging on this one.

我不太喜欢风格命令， 但我不会在这件事上让步。

Unlike Europeans, whose lives have long been circumscribed by meddling governments and diktats from Brussels, Americans are supposed to be free to choose, for better or for worse.

与欧洲国家不同，它们长期受爱管闲事的某国政府和欧盟指令的“压制”，而美 国应该是一个到处充满自由选择的国度，无论结果如何。
