美国第3任总统托马斯·杰斐逊第二次就职演讲

… since truth and reason have maintained their ground against false opinions in league with false facts, the press, confined to truth, needs no other legal restraint; the public judgment will correct false reasonings and opinions, on a full hearing of all parties; and no other definite line can be drawn between the inestimable liberty of the press and its demoralizing licentiousness.

BBC地道英语 – Generous to a fault

如果一个人乐于付出的时间或金钱超出预期,却不求任何回报,就可以被描述为 “generous to a fault”,意思是 “非常慷慨大方”。你可以用类似的表达 “kind to a fault” 来形容某人 “极为善良”。
