翻译练习：

因为不同的群体都为了自己的利益争辩，很少会彼此赞同，政府大多数时候要充当不同观点之间的斡旋者。这意味着它会考虑不同群体的利益，然后形成自己的判断，该判断可能会为了全体人民的福利而牺牲某个群体的利益。

参考答案：

Because of the fact that different groups of people, each arguing for its own interest, seldom approve of one another, the government most of the time serves as a mediator among diverse views. This means it shall consider the interests of different groups and then form its own judgement, which may sacrifice certain group's interest for the sake of the general welfare.
