We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness。
克里斯十分在意这个拼写错误,几次指出这一点,电影片名也可以保留了这个错误,因为这就是电影的主题—— There is no “Y” in happiness, there is “I”——幸福没有为什么,全靠自己去追求。
