A rightist is a person — or, as an adjective, an idea, paper, or group — that stands on the political right: often smaller government, stronger tradition, free markets, or a tougher line on crime and borders, though the mix changes by country. The word is sharper and more “label-like” than “right-wing.” Newspapers pin it on people and parties, and it can sound cold, even unkind, like pointing a finger: a rightist politician, a rightist newspaper.

A rightist is所謂rightist，指的是 a person一個人──or或, as an adjective當形容詞用時, an idea, paper, or group一個想法、一份報紙，或一個團體──that stands on the political right站在政治光譜右邊的: often smaller government常常是主張小政府, stronger tradition更重視傳統, free markets自由市場, or a tougher line on crime and borders或對犯罪和邊境採取更強硬的立場, though不過 the mix changes by country組合會因國家而不同。The word這個字 is sharper and more “label-like” than “right-wing.”比「right-wing」更尖銳、更像貼標籤。Newspapers報紙 pin it on people and parties會把它貼在人和政黨身上, and而 it can sound cold, even unkind它聽起來可能很冷酷，甚至有點不客氣, like pointing a finger就像在指著人：a rightist politician一個右派政治人物, a rightist newspaper一家右派報紙。

Though actually, “the right” is not one neat list of beliefs. A Taiwan rightist and an American rightist do not share the same homework.

Though actually不過其實，“the right”「右派」 is not one neat list of beliefs並不是一套整整齊齊的信念清單。A Taiwan rightist and an American rightist台灣的右派和美國的右派 do not share the same homework功課並不一樣。

The usual opposite label is leftist. The “right” here is not “correct”; it comes from the right-hand side of old parliament seating, which later became a political map.

The usual opposite label通常相對的說法 is leftist是左派。The “right” here這裡的「right」 is not “correct”不是「正確」的意思；it它 comes from來自 the right-hand side of old parliament seating舊式議會座位的右手邊, which later became後來變成 a political map一種政治光譜的說法。
