<p>Based on the definitions below, I think this translation makes sense:</p>
<p><strong>&quot;freedom and rebelliousness&quot; - &quot;沒有拘束和不服控制&quot;</strong>.</p>
<p>Freedom - the state of being free or at liberty, or the absence of coercion, necessity, or constraint.</p>
<p>Rebelliousness - resisting the established authority, government, or tradition; insubordinate and inclined to rebel.</p>
<p>Rebel - A rebel is one who lives totally according to his own light and risks everything else for his ultimate value of freedom.</p>

<p>As title states, I'm curious how one might translate the above terms (whether for simplified or traditional). From what I've seen, 自由 seems to be a pretty unanimous pick for translating &quot;freedom&quot; (though I'm not super convinced it might mean the exact same general concept), but the translation for rebelliousness seems much harder? (The most I've been able to find is akin to &quot;rebel&quot;, &quot;rebellious&quot;, etc.)</p>

Based on the definitions below, I think this translation makes sense:

**"freedom and rebelliousness" - "沒有拘束和不服控制"**.

Freedom - the state of being free or at liberty, or the absence of coercion, necessity, or constraint.

Rebelliousness - resisting the established authority, government, or tradition; insubordinate and inclined to rebel.

Rebel - A rebel is one who lives totally according to his own light and risks everything else for his ultimate value of freedom.
