翻译：the goverment of the people by the people and for the people

善者不来

别翻译成“民有、民治、民享政府”，请按字意来翻翻。另外，这里的\"BY\"是什么意思？

另外，汉语里“民有”是什么意思？“民治”又是什么意思？“民享”呢？

谢谢。

可理解为：

知道了，谢谢。

the goverment of the people, by the people and for the people

可理解为：

the goverment belonging to the people, supported by the people and working for the people

一个属于人民的、受人民支持的、为人民服务的政府

个人认为这样解释似乎更准确些：

the goverment consisting of the people,
operated by the people,
and working for the people.

working for也可替换为serving。

敢情美国佬早就提出了“为人民服务”的口号了。
翻译为民治的人（孙中山吧）可能把BY理解为operated by 而不是supported by .

goverment of the people, by the people and for the people 究竟该怎么理解才算准确，恐怕只有Abraham Lincoln知道，别人的任何解释都只是猜想而已。


曾有一位英国经济学家讽刺美国政府为：

goverment off the people, buy the people and fool the people
