1.   The Principles of justice are whatever would be agreed to by rational, self-intierested, and unenvious persons who knew they were to enter a society structured according to their agreement but did not know what positions they would have nor what their natural endowments and particular interests would be.
   正義的原則就是下面這些人所贊同的東西：他們富有理性，自我關心，不惡意嫉妒，知道自己將進入一個按他們的協議組織起來的社會，但不知道自己將擔任什麼職位，也不知道自己的天然才幹和特殊利益是什麼。
2. Justice is fairness.
   正義即是公平。
3. The priciples of Justice are : First, equal and maximum feasible liberty for all. Second, power and wealth to be distributed equally except where inequalities would work for the advantage of all and where all would have equal opportunity to attain the higher positions. 正義的原則：第一，一切人的平等和最大可能的自由。第二，權力和財富的平均分配，除非不平均有利於所有人和所有人都有平等的機會獲取較高職位。
