The perpetual allotment and destination of this fund, indeed, is not always guarded by any positive law, by any trust-right or deed of mortmain.

事实上，这笔资金的永久分配和目的地并不总是受到任何成文法、任何信托权或抵押契约的保护。

To say that there is nothing just or unjust but what is commanded or forbidden by positive laws, is the same as saying that before the describing of a circle all the radii were not equal.

如果在人为法限制或禁止的行为之外，就无公道可言的话，那么便意味着，当人们还未画出圆圈时，所有的半径也并不相等。
