当穆斯林以“选择自由”为由反对“泳装禁令”或“头巾禁令”时，他们的立场是前后不一致的。

When Muslims argue against the “burkini ban” or “hijab bans” on grounds of “freedom of choice,” they are being inconsistent.

所有社会都会以这样或那样的方式规范着装,并设定着装的标准。这种规范未必总是通过明文法律来实现,例如禁止某种服饰或强制穿着某种服饰。更多时候,它是通过社会压力来实现的。

All societies regulate dress and impose standards of dress in one way or another. They might not always do it through explicit laws banning garment X or mandating garment Y. Most often it is done through social pressure.

例如，西方一些穆斯林女性之所以决定摘下希贾布，是由于社会压力。戴上希贾布后，她们会觉得自己格格不入，像离开水的鱼一样。陌生人的注视让她们感到不自在；也许她们的世俗亲戚不断地唠叨她们，逼她们不要再戴。这些小事日积月累，最终使她们决定摘下希贾布，或以其他方式改变穿着，以符合社会标准。如此一来，社会便在控制人们如何穿着；而就穆斯林服饰而言，这种压力相当强大，且毫不松懈。

For example, the reason some Muslim women in the West decide to take off the hijab is due to social pressure. By wearing the hijab, they feel like fish out of water. They feel the stares from strangers and it makes them uncomfortable. Maybe they have secular relatives that bug them about it and pressure them to not wear it. Little things like that accumulate until they decide to take off the hijab or change their dress in other ways to conform to social standards. In this way, society controls how people dress and when it comes to Muslim garb, this pressure is quite powerful and relentless.

所以，在这些强大的社会压力之下，所谓“自由选择”的观念似乎说不通。人们可能会觉得自己的选择是出于自身，而事实上，人们通常只是在社会环境所允许的有限选项中进行选择。

So this whole notion of “free choice” makes no sense in context of these powerful social pressures. People might experience their choices as self-generated even though the truth of the matter is that people typically choose from the limited options social circumstances allow.

但这并不是我想要表达的重点。我想说的是，穆斯林同样应当希望施行社会约束。在穆斯林理想的社会中，依照安拉的标准着装是普遍的规范。即便在这样的理想社会里，没有像某些穆斯林国家那样由法律强制执行的明确着装规定，仍然会存在带有宗教色彩的社会压力。在那样的社会里，穿比基尼和紧身裙的女性会显得格格不入，即使没有任何惩罚性的着装法律，她们也会感到压力，去像周围的人一样着装。如此一来，伊斯兰的宗教规范将以与当今西方着装标准被施加的方式大体相同的方式得到推行。

But that is not the point I want to make here. The point I want to make is that Muslims, too, should want to exert social control. In the ideal society of a Muslim, dressing according to Allah’s standards is the norm. And even if in this ideal society there are no overt dress codes enforced by the law akin to what you find in some Muslim countries, there is still going to be social pressure of a religious bent. In that ideal society, the women in the bikinis and tight skirts are the fish out of water and they will feel the pressure to dress like everyone else around them, even if there weren’t any dress code laws to penalize them. In this way, Islamic religious norms would be imposed in much the same way Western standards of dress are imposed today.

那么穆斯林所向往的理想社会是什么？难道不是先知ﷺ时代的社会吗？即便我们假设早期穆斯林奉行严格的政教分离，没有像今天某些穆斯林国家那样对公共场合中穆斯林与非穆斯林的着装进行明文管控，我们仍然知道，那个社会中的大多数人都依照伊斯兰的规范保守地着装。而这些规范难道不会给每个人，无论穆斯林还是非穆斯林，都带来巨大压力，迫使大家穿着相似吗？这难道不等同于社会控制与宗教强加，也就是那种世俗主义和"选择自由"论调所排斥的强加吗？

So what is the ideal society Muslims envision? Is it not the society of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم ?Even if we suppose that the early Muslims abided by a strict secularism and did not have overt regulations policing the dress of Muslims and non-Muslims in public like we find in some Muslims countries today, we still know that the majority of people in that society dressed conservatively according to Islamic norms. And wouldn’t those norms put a lot of pressure on everyone, Muslims and non-Muslims, to dress similarly? Wouldn’t that amount to social control and religious imposition, i.e., exactly the kind of imposition secularism and these freedom of choice arguments eschew?

只有两种办法才能避免这种矛盾：要么否定自由选择论证的有效性，不再在方便时拿它来用；要么否认先知ﷺ和众圣门弟子所统治的社会是理想的。

The only way to avoid that inconsistency is to either deny the validity of the freedom of choice arguments and stop using them when convenient, or to deny that the societies ruled by the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and the Sahaba were ideal.

换一种说法：一个以选择自由为承诺所暗示的社会，并不存在，甚至在理论上也不可能存在。即便它可以存在，它也不会像穆斯林所珍视并向往的那种社会。基于这些原因，每当头巾或其他伊斯兰服饰受到攻击时，都不应援引选择自由。

Put it another way. The kind of society that is implied by a commitment to freedom of choice does not exist, cannot exist even in theory. And if it could exist, it would not look like the kind of society Muslims value and aspire to. For these reasons, freedom of choice should not be invoked whenever hijab or other aspects of Islamic garb come under fire.

Understood. I'm ready to translate. Please send the English text you'd like translated into Simplified Chinese, and I'll keep the translations consistent throughout, following your rules on ﷺ, (SWT), and honorifics.

Consistency is important.
