短释义：
If you want to vote before you’re 18, fight for youth suffrage and get the law changed. In the meantime, once you turn 18, go vote! Kids grow up, of course, but it has been much harder for others to get the right to vote. For example, after trying for about a hundred years, American women were granted suffrage and voted for the first time in 1920. Think about that next time you’re tempted to stay home on election day.
选举权是在公共选举中投票的权利。普选意味着每个人都可以投票，而不仅仅是男性或财产持有者。选举权与“苦难”无关——除非选错了人。
长释义：

Kids grow up, of course, but it has been much harder for others to get the right to vote. For example, after trying for about a hundred years, American women were granted suffrage and voted for the first time in 1920. Think about that next time you’re tempted to stay home on election day.
如果您想在 18 岁之前投票，请为青少年争取选举权并修改法律。与此同时，一旦你年满 18 岁，就去投票吧！当然，孩子们会长大，但其他人要获得投票权却要困难得多。例如，经过大约一百年的努力，美国妇女在 1920 年首次获得了选举权和投票权。下次您在选举日想呆在家里时，请考虑一下这一点。

词源：
suffrage (n.)late 14c., “intercessory prayers or pleas on behalf of another,” from Old French sofrage “plea, intercession” (13c.) and directly from Medieval Latin suffragium, from Latin suffragium “support, ballot, vote; right of voting; a voting tablet,” from suffragari “lend support, vote for someone,” conjectured to be a compound of sub “under” (see sub-) + fragor “crash, din, shouts (as of approval),” related to frangere “to break” (from PIE root *bhreg- “to break”). On another theory (Watkins, etc.) the second element is frangere itself and the notion is “use a broken piece of tile as a ballot” (compare ostracism).The meaning “a vote for or against anything” is from 1530s. The meaning “political right to vote” in English is first found in the U.S. Constitution, 1787.Related entries & more
下面是词源的翻译（机器翻译比较难翻，参考着看）
suffrage (n.)late 14c.,“代表他人代祷或恳求”，源自古法语 sofrage“恳求，代祷”(13c.)，直接源自中世纪拉丁语 suffragium，源自拉丁语 suffragium“支持、选票、投票；投票权；投票平板电脑”，源自 suffragari“提供支持，为某人投票”，推测是 sub“under”（参见 sub-）+ fragor“崩溃、喧闹、喊叫（截至批准）”的复合词，与 frangere“打破”相关（来自 PIE 根 *bhreg-“打破”）。根据另一种理论（Watkins 等），第二个元素是 frangere 本身，其概念是“使用一块破碎的瓷砖作为选票”（比较排斥）。“投票支持或反对任何事物”的含义来自 1530 年代。英语中“投票的政治权利”的含义首次出现在 1787 年的美国宪法中。相关条目及更多
