我對於obliged to do it 的翻譯不滿意：
中國國家主席習近平2月初「告台灣同胞書」發表40週年紀念會上重申「九二共識、一個中國」、提出「一國兩制」台灣方案等5項對台原則。蘇格蘭報章 The National 報道，英國保守黨前主席、前港督彭定康回應習近平言論時指出，「在人類歷史上，沒有民主體制會同意加入獨裁體制的一部分，除非是被迫。（There isn't in human history an example of a democracy agreeing to become part of a tyranny without being obliged to do it）」

Mr. Saramago loved to tell a story of how he came by his surname. His real family name was de Sousa. But when, as a 7-year-old boy, he showed up for his first day of school and presented his birth certificate, it was discovered that the clerk in his home village had registered him as José Saramago. “Saramago,” which means “wild radish,” a green that country people were obliged to eat in hard times, was the insulting nickname by which the novelist’s father was known.
“My father wasn’t very happy, but if that was his son’s official name, well, then he too had to take it,” he recounted in the 2007 interview. The family remained so poor, Mr. Saramago recalled in his memoir, that every spring his mother pawned their blankets, hoping that she might be able to redeem them by the following winter.
