第五篇:大英4泛讀翻譯Book4
2.不確定的未來
從中國人踏上美國國土的那一刻起,他們的夢想就變成了美國夢。他們在加利福尼亞的塵土中爭奪金子,他們渴望擁有自己的土地與事業,渴望通過戰斗,使自己的孩子與美國小孩一樣,在學校里受教育。美國華裔們與大部分移民一樣,來這兒是為了逃離戰爭與饑荒,遠離迫害與貧窮。又與其他移民的后裔一般,他們的子孫開始稱美國為“祖國”。
如果美國除去華裔們為其取得的成就,那它將不會成為今日之美國。一代又一代的華裔子孫,為將美國建設成當的空前盛況而奮斗。他們為內戰而搏,建造的鐵路使整個國家融為一體。華裔們早期的正義之戰,為隨后的民權運動奠定了新的法律基礎。他們為美國制成了首個火箭并幫助其贏得了冷戰。在硅谷和其他地方,他們的貢獻使美國在信息時代建立并保持其優勢地位。今天這些華裔分散在每個我們可想象的行業中:有投資者,教師,作者,醫生,工程師,律師,首席執行官,社會工作者,會計,建筑師,警察,消防員,演員和宇航員。
可悲的是,盡管這么長時間的貢獻,許多華裔在美國仍然被當成外國人。大部分新移民者將會遭遇這樣的嘲笑:“從哪兒來回哪兒去吧!”就像有人說的,美國華裔們就像客人一樣呆在其他人屋子里,不能將腳放在桌子上,不能得到真正的放松。中式口音與文化傳統可能會消失,但我們的皮膚顏色與眼睛形狀卻無法改變。
這些特性讓一些人理所當然地將美國華人視為異類,自然也就稱不上是純正的美國人了。美國大眾媒體把美國華人模式化,把他們描繪成與生俱來就與美國人不同,無法改變。因而美國華人的美國化被這種輕而易舉但帶有欺騙性的模式化蒙上了陰影。
用人類的觀點來看,什么是造成這種不和的因素呢?一個在加利福尼亞洲,西柯汶納的本地委員會成員,有人在電話里對他說:“哇,你完全就像一個真正的美國人,一點兒都沒有中式口音?!贬t學電視劇中美籍華人醫生不多,事實上,美國每六個醫生中就有一個是亞裔美國人。
1999年6月,劉云平出生于俄亥俄州,在加利福尼亞讀大學,在華盛頓郵報上介紹了他做美國空軍上尉時的一個小故事:
“你是中國空軍嗎?”旁邊一位穿著得體的女士問道。這個問題讓我一時說不出話來。要知道我們是在一個頒獎晚宴上,而我正驕傲地穿著美國空軍的藍色制服,佩戴著上尉軍銜以及各種勛章和獎牌。因此她的問題使我有些惱怒,也讓我意識到就算美國空軍的藍色制服也不足以徹底改變她最初的想法,即亞洲上的黃種人從某些方面來說不算是美國人。
我希望這只是個獨立的小插曲。但遺憾的是,時至今日美國仍然有很多人將美國華裔視作在美國的外國人??身為美國空軍的一名長官,有一天我或許會被要求將生命獻給我的國家。如果有人依然對我所說的“我的國家”代表著什么抱有疑問的話,那將是我的恥辱。
只需對每個中國出身的美國名人有淺薄的了解,你就會發現,不管他們取得了多么卓越的成就,對美國社會有著多大的貢獻,事實上他們每個人的身份或多或少都受到過質疑。
宗毓華是美國歷史上第二個網絡晚間新聞播報的女性聯合主持,她在那樣一種不受歡迎的新聞編輯室的氛圍里挺了過來。作為極少數的女性之一已經夠糟了,然而她說:“早期在哥倫比亞廣播系統時,71年到76年,我被稱作‘黃色新聞佬’——有些話語已經明顯涉及了種族問題?!钡堑搅撕笃冢?990年,有一個叫做克里夫·金凱德的華盛頓廣播主持人直接稱她為“宗國佬”。
林瓔現在是美國最負盛名的女性建筑師,而1980年當她還是一個耶魯大學沒畢業的學生時,她因贏得了在華盛頓舉辦的全國的越戰紀念碑設計方案的征集而被惡意攻擊?!霸趺茨茏屢粋€外國佬來設計越戰紀念碑?”一些越戰老兵質疑道,“為何能容忍一個美籍亞裔女人為在亞洲發生的戰爭中犧牲的美國人民設計紀念碑?”
在1998年的奧林匹克運動會上,當美國花樣滑冰選手關穎珊在她的隊友塔拉·利平斯基后面第二個完成比賽時,微軟聯網新聞的頭條報道到:“美國人打敗了關穎珊”。
許多美籍華裔對媒體自動將她歸于外國人這一舉動十分憤怒,而事實上,關穎珊在美國出生,在美國受到教育,也是在美國接受溜冰訓練。四年過去,這個錯誤在關穎珊輸給薩拉?休斯與金牌擦肩而過時再一次重演,因西雅圖時報副標題稱“美國人大爆滑冰冷門,使關穎珊和斯路斯卡婭相形見絀”。
1998年,職為加利福利亞洲的財務長鄺杰靈在競選聯邦議員時,有記者盤問他說,如果爆發中美戰爭,他會支持中國還是支持美國。鄺杰靈是第四代華裔,他的母親余江月桂女士,是首位任職加州政府秘書長的女性美籍華裔。鄺杰靈無從回答輸贏問題,只得回應時代周刊記者,“在美國‘自由平等’的表面下,還是存在著微妙的俗習陳見和種族歧視的。”
2001年5月,首位被選入美國眾議院的華裔吳振偉出席一次會議時竟在華盛頓特區能源部大樓被保安拒之門外。隨后,吳振偉表示:“最令我震憤的是,在我出示國會議員身份證明,且我的國會助理劉云平出示了員工證再次證實后,竟然一再質疑我美國公民的身份!”
2001年,趙小蘭自哈佛商學院畢業,任職聯邦海事委員會主席及交通部助理秘書。她是喬治?沃克?布什總統任命其為勞工部秘書后,史上被納入總統顧問團的美籍華裔第一人。當她的批判者們以她的中國血統為由刁難,趙小蘭的丈夫參議員米奇?麥康奈爾站出來指責了這些“一定程度的種族詆毀”,“黃熱病佬”云云言論以及媒體界所持的排外態度。
此類事件屢次三番發生,而后一個問題被拋出,在美國華人社區呼聲高漲:到底還要幾般俯首屈從才能成為“真正”的美國公民?
這些種族主義事件并非偶然發生,憑空捏造的。這也不完全是在物理差異的基礎上產生的??v觀美國歷史,的確,在大多數社會形式中,統治階級像操控機制一樣肆意剝削異民族勞動力——作為一個方便的借口來讓自己的控制更容易為接受。種族主義經常分裂和減少美國勞工--通過阻止白聯盟和彩色工人來幫助他們贏得那些影響他們的問題--使得政府在緊急情況下擴大其權力范圍,如在經濟蕭條和戰爭這種時候,整個民族可以被犧牲的替罪羊集會領袖的解決方案背后的人。這是在美國的華人在排除時代前夕的命運。
3.羞恥
誰感到羞愧?什么使他羞愧?為什么作者要描寫他對這個小女孩青澀的暗戀?愛與自卑之間到底有什么聯系?理解了這些,你將找到這個故事的主題。
我在家從未有過憎惡感、羞恥感,而自從去了學校,我就有了這樣的感受。記得大約7歲那年,我得到了一次深刻的教訓。那時,我喜歡上一個叫海琳·塔克的小女孩,她膚色白皙,扎著馬尾辮,舉止也很優雅。她在??偸且轮麧?,成績優異。我覺得我去學校主要是為了看她。我會梳理好自己的頭發并帶上一塊舊的小手帕。盡管這手帕是一個婦人的,可我卻不想讓海琳看到我用手擦鼻涕的樣子。天很冷,水管再次冰凍,盡管家里沒有水,但我仍會在每天晚上清洗我的襪子和襯衣。我會拿上一個罐子去本先生的食品雜貨店,將它放在蘇打水冷藏柜下面,然后掏出一些冰塊放在里面。到了晚上,我就可以用那些冰塊化成的水來洗衣服。那年冬天我常常生病,因為在夜晚爐火會在衣服烘干之前熄滅。到第二天早晨,不管那衣服是濕還是干,我都會穿上,因為那是我唯一的衣服。
每個人的心中都有一個海琳·塔克,她就是你所想的一切優點的代表。我喜歡她,因為她善良、整潔、人緣好。如果她走在我回家的路上,我的兄弟姐妹就會大聲叫道“海琳來了”,然后我會將網球鞋的鞋面在褲腳上擦幾下,希望我的頭發不那么凌亂,普通的白色襯衫更加服帖。接著就沖到路上,如果我知趣的話,便不會走得太近,這時她就會向我眨眼并問好。那是一種很不錯的感覺。有時候,我會一直跟在她后面走,鏟去路上的積雪,并試圖和她的媽媽、阿姨做朋友。晚上,我會在從小旅館擦鞋回來的路上將錢放在她家的門階上。
她有個爸爸,工作不錯,是個糊墻紙工。
我猜想到夏天我便會把海琳忘卻,但是22年以來,在那間教室發生的事情,使她的面孔在我腦海里揮之不去。我為了她,在高中參加擊鼓活動,在大學打破了某項記錄。甚至當我站在臺上的麥克風邊上聽到掌聲時,我也是希望她能夠聽到這些的。一直到22歲,我結婚了,工作賺錢了,她才終于從我的生命中淡去,不再影響我。當我為自己感到羞愧時,海琳就坐在那間教室里。
那個周四,我坐在教室的后面的位子上,座位周圍被人用粉筆畫了個圈,代表這兒坐著的是個白癡,是個麻煩制造者。
老師認為我是個笨蛋。我不會拼寫,不會朗讀,不會算術。我就是個笨蛋!老師從來不會花心思去注意到你因為沒有吃早飯因為肚子很餓而沒有集中注意力。你所能想到的也就是中午,中午還能不能到得了呢?也許你可以溜進衣帽間,偷一些孩子們大衣口袋里的午飯來吃。一點兒吃的,比如漿糊。你不可能真的拿漿糊當飯,或者將它們涂在面包上當三明治;但是有時候,我還是會從教室后面的漿缸里舀幾匙漿糊。懷孕的人口味很怪,而我卻是滿懷貧困,滿懷污垢和令人掩鼻的臭味,滿懷凄涼和寒冷。我從來沒穿過專為我買的鞋子,我的床上還擠著另外5個人,可是隔壁房間里沒有爸爸。并且饑餓一直與我同在。當我非常餓的時候,漿糊吃起來也就不那么難以下咽了。
老師認為我是一個麻煩制造者。她總是在教室前面看見一個黑人小男孩愚蠢地坐在座位上,東張西望制造噪音影響其他孩子,卻看不見這個孩子之所以弄出聲音是想引起老師的注意。
那一天是周四,黑人發薪日的前一天。福利金通常是在周五發放。老師要求每一位學生問他們的父親可以為社區福利基金捐多少錢。在周五晚上,每位孩子都會從他們父親那兒拿到錢,并在周一將錢帶到學校。我決定我要給自己買一個爸爸。我口袋里的錢是靠擦皮鞋、賣報紙掙來的。并且無論海琳?塔克從她爸爸那兒拿多少錢,我都要超越它。我現在手里有錢,直到周一才會以爸爸的名義拿出來。
我有點發抖,緊張得要死。老師打開她的書,開始按字母順序叫名字。
“海琳?塔克?”
“我爸爸說他會給兩美元五十美分。
“那太好了。海琳,非常,非常好?!?/p>
這讓我感覺非常好。我不會花太多錢去超越它。我口袋里有好多一角硬幣和二十五分硬幣,差不多三美元。我把手放進口袋里,牢牢地抓住錢,等待她叫我的名字。但是老師喊了教室每一個人的名字后合上了書。
我站起來,舉起我的手。“現在是怎么回事?” “你忘了我?!?/p>
她轉過身面朝著黑板:“我沒有時間陪你玩,理查德?!?/p>
“我爸爸說他可以??”
“坐下,理查德,你在擾亂課堂秩序?!?/p>
“我爸爸說他可以捐??捐十五美元?!?/p>
她轉過來,看起來十分生氣:“我們是在為你還有和你一樣的人募捐,理查德·格雷戈里。如果你的爸爸能捐出十五美元,那你還需要什么政府扶助金?”
“我現在就帶它著呢,我現在帶著呢,我爸爸把錢給我讓我今天交的,他說??”
“還有,”她盯著我說,她的鼻孔在擴張,嘴唇越抿越緊,眼睛也瞪得大大的?!拔覀兌贾滥銢]有爸爸?!?/p>
海琳·塔克轉過頭來,她的眼睛里噙滿淚水。她為我感到難過。然后我就看不清她了,因為我也哭了。
“坐下,理查德?!?我一直以為老師是有點兒喜歡我的,她總是在星期五放學后讓我擦洗黑板。那曾使我很激動,覺得自己很重要。如果我不擦洗黑板,也許下周一學校就不能正常上課了。
“你要去哪兒,理查德?”
那天我走出了學校,此后很長一段時間我都沒怎么回去。因為那里曾讓我感到羞恥。
現在我覺得羞愧的無地自容,教室就像我的整個世界,每個人都聽到了老師的話,每個人都面帶歉意的看向我。參加最值得的孩子的圣誕晚宴也讓我覺得羞愧,因為所有人都知道這個“最值得的孩子”是什么。為什么他們不能直接叫兒童晚宴?為什么他們非要那么叫它?我為穿著福利院給三千個孩子的棕色,橙色和白色格子花彩格厚呢外衣而感到羞愧,為什么每個人穿的都一樣以至于你一走在大街上,人們就知道你是靠著救濟生活的人。那件外衣是件很好的暖和的衣服,它還帶有一個風帽,當我媽媽在塞滿垃圾的桶底找到它的時候,她打罵了我,并說,我是一個小人。我為每天晚上跑去本先生家要他的腐爛的桃子感到羞愧,我為向西蒙先生要一勺糖而羞恥,我為跑去救濟車而感到自卑。我恨那輛車,裝滿了給你的食物和善意。當它再次來的時候我跑到屋子里藏了起來,然后從小路跑到遠處,他們就不會在那家免費餐廳看到我。是啊,那天整個世界都聽到了老師說了什么,我們都知道你沒有爸爸。
4.勇敢面對
一個寒冷的下午的足球比賽是在1937年發生。這些球員是哈佛大學的學生,在波士頓附近,在美利堅合眾國。美式足球是一個粗糙的游戲,很容易受傷。球員們通常是強大的,堅實的年輕人。但在這場合一名球員是長得又高又瘦。他沒有足夠的足球非常擁擠。但他是敏銳的,而是,盡管成功。他喜歡戶外運動和出場大部分得很好。他無論做什么都是盡心去。他是約翰,肯尼迪。23年后,他將成為美國的總統。
像激動的游戲模式增加了每個人匆忙球在一次。他們降落在彼此的頂部在堅硬的、冷冰冰地。約翰·肯尼迪下面。當其他的男人挑選自己站起來,準備繼續比賽,他一動不動的躺著。最初它是難以移動。他覺得如果他揪住了他背后的東西。他的胳膊和腿似乎不工作。他慢慢地站了起來。鋒利的感到劇痛他回來直立行走。但他拒絕有幫助,他離開了現場。
那天,他傷害他的背得如此厲害,以致它給麻煩他余下的生命。但是很少人無論在玩牌的時候,還是以后,知道這常常忙和有吸引力的人是痛苦的。這不是他的性格中放棄。
約翰肯尼迪出生,就像一句老話說的那樣,“銀勺在他九歲”。他的父親約瑟夫·肯尼迪,是一個富有的銀行家。他的母親,玫瑰,是一個著名的波士頓的女兒的政治家。她在法國受過教育。約瑟夫·肯尼迪有足夠的錢給他的每個一百萬元九個孩子的母親,他們到達了21歲。
約翰真的沒有很努力奮斗。他不需要工作,他的生活。但是他的父母帶孩子來領導使用壽命不管什么財富都要他們。他們教人們如何掙扎硬得像他們能無論他們相信并且不要害怕競爭。他們教人們如何面對生活的勇氣,沒有抱怨。這是幸運的。因為,盡管約翰的錢可以提供最好的醫生,他從來沒有完美的健康的禮物或疼痛的緩解。
肯尼迪家族是一個活潑的家人彼此爭吵和斗爭,因為大多數的孩子才會做的事。但他們彼此非常忠誠。他們來自一個愛爾蘭人家庭和屬于天主教堂。他們的宗教對于他們來說很重要,他們學會了兒童保護他們的信心。美國是一個強烈的新教的國家。
肯尼迪的父母對子女的。什么似乎是不可能的。他們的祖父輩已經抵達美國時身無分文,教育,使他們的財富。他們自己的努力給他們的孩子在生活中一個很好的機會。誰知道約翰和他的兄弟姐妹可能會做什么? 孩子們向他們的古老的哥哥喬帶路。像許多美國兒童,他希望有一天成為總統。他是同性戀的,性情急躁,好學生和自信的領導人。他研究是一個律師,似乎肯定是他祖父的政治家都喜歡。
約翰是安靜的。他喜歡書籍和研究雖然他沒有得到前在學校的成績,像他哥哥。他似乎很可能成為一個老師或作家。
當孩子長大成人之后就到國外旅行。約翰花了一個暑假在英國當他十八歲。當他二十歲時他和一個朋友穿越歐洲。就在1937年。歐洲走向第二次世界大戰。大多數美國人不感興趣外面發生了什么美國。但當約翰回到哈佛他開始接受一個更嚴重的興趣在歷史上以及政府。他還花了很多時間在戶外,游泳和航行。相反,他們走向數英里外的另一個海島。他們游,或者一個日志上漂來漂去,到岸邊。他的一個同伴受傷所以約翰,他是一個很好的游泳者,把他同用一根繩子,他控制住自己的牙齒,直到他們到達島上。
那天晚上,他幾乎累后12小時在水里,他又游了尋找幫助。一個星期以來,他繼續做一個接一個的嘗試去拿幫助他的十一個人。他們沒有食物或水。最后他發現了一個證明了島上的土著美國人要友善。他把一個信息帶來的美國船去救他們。這時候他們是如此的虛弱和生病的他們不能一直活得更長一些。
約翰的勇氣,在這個時間使他尊貴。但他犧牲了自己的力量。他病了一年多之后,被迫救他,最后,從海軍退役的職責。.戰爭快結束了,但這是一個悲傷的時間為約翰。他知道他的兄弟和他的兩個姐夫(他姐姐的丈夫)被殺死。
約翰不得不考慮他下一步干什么。他作為一名報社記者去到舊金山會議開始,聯合國組織。這是一個很重要的世界事件。當他回到波士頓,他的父親提到一個國會議員從馬薩諸塞州的放棄了他的職務?!澳銥槭裁床粎⒓痈傔x國會嗎,約翰? “他補充說。約翰考慮清楚了,決定試一試。
它似乎是不可能的,他會當選。他太年輕的,富裕的和沒有經驗的有嚴重的獲勝的機會。和其他候選人有9個,很多比賽。盡管他身材高大,有男子氣概,一流的眼睛和一個友好的微笑,他消瘦而蒼白,看起來精致。但有幾件事對他有利。是他的勇氣。另一個是他的誠實。麻薩諸塞州有其股票不誠實的政客。肯尼迪的錢幫助讓他知道的廣泛關注??夏岬霞易宓拇舐摓樗难葜v和公開露面,也有助于贏得很多選票。最重要的是,約翰自己下定決心要成功,因為他總是是,沒有什么可以阻止他。他工作非常努力,有少的睡眠。他走進房屋、商店、工廠、酒店、無論他可能會遇到一他答應工作為窮人提供更好的條件——更好的待遇、房;他不認為自己是一個富人的兒子;他表明他很樂意幫這不能幫助自己選舉,他還是很容易被派往華盛頓為美國國會議員。
從那時起,約翰·肯尼迪,他的嚴肅態度和容易的魅力,變成了金色的男孩的美國政治。他不能失去。6年之后他回到了華盛頓,國會議員在更重要的工作從麻薩諸塞州的參議員。
后來在1960年,他當選總統的最富有的和世界上最強大的國家。在四十三歲的他是最年輕的總統有過,第一位是天主教徒??夏岬霞易?年輕、有才華、有吸引力,像一個皇室家庭。當下、約翰的可愛的妻子杰奎琳是完美的年輕的皇后??夏岬霞易暹€粘在一起。約翰的兄弟羅伯特,年齡35歲了,現在成了他最信任的顧問和國家的司法部長。
三年后,肯尼迪總統死了。他被一個刺客,他騎他的妻子一個開著車穿過街道的德克薩斯州的達拉斯。是什么使得他,在如此短的時間作為總統,這樣一個明亮的光點在美國政治場面?他為什么比總統更出名的壽命長和表現得更多?約翰·肯尼迪什么名字代表什么? 也許答案是可以發現在與他的哥哥,司法部長,他試圖確保法律對他的國家給黑人與白人平等的機會。這是時間,他說,讓它“明確一切種族沒有發生在美國生活或法律”。他試過了,沒有成功,為了獲得更好的醫療照顧老人。他想改善教育。歷史已經開始顯示肯尼迪,作為美國總統,嚴重的錯誤。這是在自由之名,他帶領他的國家的深入研究,其殘酷的,是沒有希望的越南戰爭。
這是肯尼迪,這個人,他把他的郵票貼在1960年代早期的世界。而不是疲倦的老人帶領大多數的國家,一個新的明星已上升。一個明亮的、有才華、勇敢的年輕人,他能做很多事情做好,選擇了政治的簡陋的生活因為他想要一個美好的世界。從而讓每個人。他使人——特別是美國人——認為更好的自己,因為他是其中之一。
他非常欽佩什么樣的勇氣使人獨自站在一邊的東西他們認為是正確的。有一次,當他從傷病中恢復生病,他寫了一本關于人的例子的那種勇氣。他是一個例子,它自己。
5.一支步槍,一把斧頭和一袋玉米
一支步槍,一把斧頭和一袋玉米。這是一場激烈的戰斗的武器——而鼓起了勇氣,一場斗爭,在其中只有強者存活。
不像往常一樣跑的戰役,這不是一個戰斗中的一個有組織的軍隊向另一個人,這是一個更優越的之間的戰爭的男人、女人和孩子在這邊、未知的荒野的。
從1770年到1840年西方運動了一把人們成百上千。成群的土地避難者涌入密西西比河流域。它成為牛群。單身男人打包及左、家庭卷走了整個城鎮收拾起自己的東西,離開了。美國是在移動。在1770年有五千人阿巴拉契亞山脈以西。1840年,共有八百萬數百萬數百萬英畝的土地被移動的部落。
從來沒有見過這樣的運動的世界。這是一個永無止境的小溪。城鎮和村莊幾乎在一夜之間拔地而起。“愉悅山在杰斐遜,俄亥俄州,是在1810年一個小哈姆雷特的7個住在船艙。在1815年,它包含90個家庭編號500的靈魂,有7個商店和3個酒館,是從議事廳,校舍,market-house、機器為紡羊毛、工廠制作線、40工匠和力學代表11交易?!?/p>
在1817年約翰Calhoun說:“我們是偉大的,并迅速——我想說的是恐懼-成長?!耙苍S恐懼是正確的字。
單獨的數字呼的故事。密歇根州有
1810年:4000人 1820年:8000人 1830年:31000人 1840年:212000人
這只有三十年了!這是驚人的。擴大的線條,移動,移動,曾經向西移動。從這個巨大的大小西進運動人們很自然地會想去西方世界上最容易的工作。一點也不。大多數這些感人的人移動主要是因為有很少或根本沒有錢,所以長毛絨的座位在快速火車旅行將使得在二十四小時內不適合自己的;此外,火車如同我們知道他們根本不存在任何、金錢或不是。高超的混凝土路面我們熟悉甚至沒有夢想,卡車和汽車襯墊減振器、舒適的彈簧和橡膠輪胎,在七十五年后的未來。沒有,因為這些早期的拓荒者,去西部他們想做的事情,而不是因為它是容易的去做。阿巴拉契亞山脈,雖然不高的落基山脈,然而,一個真正的障礙。
河流穿越群山是正確的,當然,有很大幫助。但是旅行者不得不福特小溪,使他的家人和牛在并不是很簡單的。有時候一個夏天雨水會膨脹成一座山溪,要用毀滅的篩籮。然后穿過是很危險的??偸怯泻ε鹿粲〉诎踩?。一旦安全跑過山,會是一個更容易一些。然后整個家庭、丈夫、妻子、兒女、牲畜可以上漂流或龍骨船浮在一條河,與當前的下游。不幸的是,因為有那么多的人正在旅途西部,很難弄到的一條船馬上。既然每個人都在移動時工人很難找到。經常旅行的家庭將會等待幾周之前,其船建造。并且,永遠,甚至當向河的下游漂去,突然襲擊的危險的印第安人在岸邊。因為這個原因,許多flatboats完全封閉的四周,以便他們看起來像漂浮城堡。
無論這條路是夠寬、馬車被使用。但許多人買不起甚至是原始的,不舒服的馬車的時候??吹揭患胰俗邘装儆⒗锊叫惺且环N司空見慣。通常就是可憐的觀看。“一個家庭的8從緬因州到印地安那州一路走到伊頓,爸爸。(約415英里),他們到達晚在二月,拖著孩子們和他們的世俗財物一只手上推車。來自羅德島州的一個鐵匠在死寂的冬天在麻薩諸塞州到奧爾巴尼(約200英里)。在一個小輪車四板材一英尺的直徑都有些衣服,一些食物和兩個孩子。它背后沿著母親帶著個嬰兒在乳腺癌和7其他孩子在她身邊?!斑@花了那樣的勇氣去面對困難。
不,再遠不是一件容易的事。這是一個生活充滿艱辛。稍后,在全國建立了道路汽船代替了flatboats和印地安人終于推回到足夠遠的危險性,即使那時旅程有其困難和危險。然而成群結隊的人們還在繼續推動西部。盡管偶爾地產公司幫助移民去的土地,他們想要出售的,有時團體的鄰居來自東部城鎮會團結起來、旅游于一體,不過西方就填滿了,在大多數情況下,由不同的家庭。丈夫、妻子和孩子,渴望自己的土地,這是最常見的單位,冒著危險的旅行,去爬山,跋涉在創新,飄落河流,雕刻了一個家密集的荒野。
6.看世界
我在英國劍橋學習期間有4周的復活節假期,便作出了將生活必需品扔進行囊前往“歐洲大陸”的決定。在因特網上簡單地搜索了一下,就找到了一張從倫敦斯坦斯特德機場到柏林的廉價機票。幾天后我就站在了柏林舍那費爾特機場的德國移民局官員面前,拿著我的中國護照和其他旅行文件。隨著他“砰”的一聲在我的申根簽證上蓋了戳,我就可以自由地在歐洲大部分地區漫游了。
背著行囊到各個國家旅行,這在西方年輕人當中極為流行,但在亞洲青年當中還不普遍。西方人長期以來就喜歡探索“神秘的東方”,但在我們東方人中卻很少有人對“神秘的西方”有真正的體驗。在此我不想揣測這一特有現象的背后原因,我只想解釋一下一位21歲的中國學生是如何背著行囊獨自完成了一次奇妙的歐洲之旅。
到了歐洲大陸后的當務之急就是需要現鈔,但不是我存在中國銀行賬戶里的人民幣,也不是美國賬戶里的美元,怎樣才能得到歐元呢?我找到了一個ATM自動提款機,把我的銀行卡插進去,不一會兒歐元就進了我的錢包,國際金融體系已經使旅行者能相當方便地獲得當地貨幣。中國人只要有國際上認可的借記卡(如VISA卡、Master卡)就能以當前的兌換率從歐洲的ATM機中換出歐元,兌換率比去當地的外匯兌換處還要優惠,而你在國內銀行存的是人民幣也沒有關系,一樣能換。
我們中國人一說到出國旅行,一個令人生畏的問題就會蹦出來———語言怎么辦?這個問題在我們想去歐洲時就會更為可怕,因為歐洲的每一個國家幾乎都有她自己的語言———荷蘭語、捷克語、法語、德語、希臘語、意大利語、葡萄牙語、西班牙語,還有很多很多其他語言。但不必害怕:如果你的英語很好,就能很容易地應對一切。歐洲的很多標志和大多數旅行文件都有英文譯文,而且歐洲人的英語水平也越來越高。此外,一些重要詞匯在很多歐洲語言中都差不多,比如,當你需要用衛生間(英文是toilet)時,在法國你就去找toilette,在德國就是Toilette,在意大利是toletta,在葡萄牙是toalete。盡管如此,知道一點兒當地語言絕對有幫助,因為當地人喜歡你能夠說幾個哪怕是極簡單的詞,像法語中的“你好”是bonjour,意大利語中的“謝謝”是grazie,德語中的“對不起,請原諒”是entschuldigung。
令人遺憾的是,有時你不知道想說的詞該怎么說,那是否就意味著談話要結束了?非也。即便你的詞庫已經窮盡了,你還有最后一招,也常常是很有意思的一招———身體語言。在參觀了“東部畫廊”———柏林墻所遺留下的最長的部分,我來到一個輕軌車站下面的小餐館坐下,那里的人們幾乎都不說英語,他們的德語也有著很怪的口音,所以我進去之后就沒有與他們過多地交談。我在菜單上的好幾處都看到“Ente”一詞,但我在耶魯大學的德語課上從來沒學過這個詞,便問服務員Ente是什么。他撓撓腦袋,環顧四周,急切地尋求幫助,但是柜臺后面的人們聳聳肩,搖搖頭,就在我剛想說“不必介意”時,他開始晃著屁股,并且發出“嘎嘎”的聲音———鴨子!肯定是鴨子!他的啞劇表演非常有效地把Ente的意思表達了出來,與此同時,這種身體語言帶來了神奇的打破堅冰般的效果,就餐氣氛活躍多了。
為了輕裝旅行,我總是盡量不帶重的東西,但有一樣有分量的東西我總是帶在身邊,那就是旅游手冊。我從旅游手冊《去歐洲》一書中獲得了有關我要去的目的地、旅舍及交通的大部分信息。在背囊旅行者中大受歡迎的另一套旅游手冊是《孤獨的星球》系列叢書。凡是有重要的旅游點的地方,這些書里都標有地圖,書里還提供大量的有關旅舍、旅館、餐廳、酒吧等處的信息,因此旅游者總有選擇的余地。書上還有公共交通的詳細地圖,汽車與火車的班次、票價以及從一地到另一地所需要的時間,這就使你能夠做出一個很好的計劃。有些旅游手冊與當地的旅舍和餐廳還有很好的合作,只要在柜臺前晃一下那本旅游手冊,你就能得到優惠。我在奧地利薩爾斯堡的時候,住旅舍每天省了4歐元,在餐廳吃飯能打9折,這都是因為我有一本《去歐洲》。好的旅游手冊會列出旅行中所涉及的幾乎所有的價格,從而幫你做出預算。很多手冊還贊助對旅游者很有幫助的網站,旅游者可以在網上報告當前的價格,并且發表自己對旅舍與餐廳的評論。因此,務必要做的一件事就是在出發之前帶上一本高質量的最新出版的旅游手冊,這對你會大有幫助。
7關于英雄
這個詞的英雄會混淆,因為它,有好幾個意義。它常用于普通百姓發生在執行一項行動的極大的勇氣——一個消防員撲救的人一天的主要角色,小說或電影被稱為英雄的故事,即使他并不特別勇敢。但英雄輩出,我們也會考慮現在構成第三集團。他們是巨人,其優越性數據填補了我們的心的贊嘆和敬畏,男人和女人給我們一個高的例子去追隨,有個生活目標,或者有時僅僅是一個夢,因為他們代表了人,我們愿意。
人類總是有這樣的英雄。有些已經建造的救助者或他們的國家,像喬治華盛頓,誰給一代又一代的美國人他們的模型的決心,無私和榮譽。有些宗教領袖或漂亮女人;征服者自居,運動員,或先驅;小說人物或革命者,圣徒,罪人,可愛的強盜,或電影明星。不管他們,他們都榮耀,顯示方式下對他們的追隨者??释档盟麄兡軐⒆詈玫囊幻娉尸F他們的崇拜者。近年發表的許多文章,聲稱沒有更多的英雄在西方世界。作者說,特別是在歐洲和北美,現代的年輕人拒絕崇拜任何人,我們生活在一個世界太靈通,太好奇展示給我們的過失公眾人物誰能成為今天的明星,直到我們失去信心,開始尋找缺陷的人似乎值得尊敬的。在一個鄰居或一個政治家,我們試著發現我們的弱點,失敗,或丑陋的動機,無疑是隱藏他的高尚的行為。
這是真的,我們知道得太多了?我們的祖先是幸運的是只是部分通知嗎? 那些讀第一查理曼的傳記,喬治華盛頓,圣女貞德、或其他偉大的男性和女性的過去并沒有被告知他們心目中的英雄也有異味或不喜歡他的母親,他們只找到一個描述他的偉大成就和仰慕得到加強。事實上,早期的傳記作者毫不猶豫地組成了一個極佳的兩個故事關于他們的英雄。人寫第一本傳記的華盛頓,例如,發明了一棵櫻桃樹下,他承認后,無真相,但他說那是在性格上,它將會給年輕人的神的例子來跟隨。他的讀者似乎不對象;書再版八十極大的成功,那些日子。
現代傳記作者不發明這樣的故事,他們尊重事實,正如他們確實應該。但我們支付的價格為其真實性,因為他們在努力顯示“完整的人”,他們告訴我們,比我們真的需要知道關于私人生活、家庭秘密,人類的弱點。真正的偉大的一個好的人,常常被人們忘記在顯示;人們失去的不只是仰慕他,但他們愿意相信任何其他“明星”完全。
在備注中可以清楚地看到了一群高中生,在家開轟趴洛杉磯附近,那些被要求他們所欣賞?!皼]有,”一個年輕人說:“因為我們早期的對象被毀。我們想要相信了我們所有的缺點和缺陷,使得很難信任的歷史的英雄?!薄傲硪粋€學生,一個女孩,補充說,“我們試圖模仿是未知的成年人, 在我們的生活中。而不是夢想就像一些著名的女某個地方,我要像我媽媽最好的朋友,就是沒有人在這個房間里就會知道。但是我也知道并且欣賞她,那是對我來說夠了?!?/p>
一種英雄的品質要求隨著時代,和一些偉大人物的一個特定的時期會驚喜的新一代??紤]爆炸的愛和悲傷的死亡后,約翰·列儂于1980年12月。很少引起死亡的悲痛,這樣的悲哀,在很多國家在整個世界的歷史。毫無疑問,列儂為他的哀悼者是一個英雄。為什么? 他做那件事是如此顯著? “約翰不僅僅是一個音樂家,”有人說他的崇拜者?!八廊绾伪磉_我這一代的感情在1960年代晚期。他是我們的聲音和我們的指引;他改變了我們在過去的幾年里,總是有點在我們的前方,他為我們打開新的視野和鼓勵我們的風險遠,敢。我們談到了愛與和平;他是一個大哥哥。我們需要在一個麻煩的時間?!坝行┝袃z的仰慕者可能已經知道他并不是完美的,但他們卻忽視他的黑暗的一面保持感激做出積極的貢獻比他在他們的生活??隙ㄓ泻芏嗳瞬徽J為約翰·列儂一個英雄,事實上有一個極低的對他的看法。但這是不尋常的,一個人的英雄是另一個人的惡棍。認為所有的領導人,革命者,征服者非常尊重的一個國家,一個宗教團體,或一代,藐視或受人恨。
電視和電影提供許多淺英雄,他們年輕的觀眾。很多家長都不看到孩子的欽佩超人?!吨┲雮b》,或者有些奢侈搖滾歌手沒有想法或人才。但這樣的英雄不會持續很長,幾年后日益增長的青少年嘲笑這些對象他們年幼的贊賞。他們開始尋找更好地指導。無論他們怎么說。他們發現他們。學生誰是有足夠的智慧去認識素質在她媽媽的朋友有一個完美的主人公自己的,一個是更容易模仿比喬治華盛頓或克拉拉?巴頓。
很難成為一個英雄在西方世界的這些日子里,在探索的目光中,對這一至關重要的社會。但肯定的是最不完全消失;還有人比他們的同胞的智慧,他們的勇氣,或他們的個性。他們可以成為英雄,如果人們愿意忽視它們的人類缺陷、承認的尊重他們的優良品質激勵。到處都需要英雄,在任何時候。這是一個悲哀的天空沒有閃爍的明星。
