presents to the whole family of man thequestion whether a constitutional
republic or democracy－aGovernment of the people by the same people－can or
cannot maintain its territorial integrity against its own domestic foe.在这段话
里，林肯明确的用了a Government of the people bythe same people的表达法，主宾意
味业已明显：of后面的thepeople，是宾的the people；相对的，by后的the people却是
主的the people，同一（same）人民，是主，也是宾；该主时主，该宾时宾。在林肯of
the people的政治用意中，of后面的the people是宾，既为宾，自与后面的by the
people，for the people并无强烈平行的意思，既无强烈平行的意思，把它译为平行的形
态。——如“民有”“民治”“民享”之类，就未免不妥的了。
