1、Unit 6 Give Me Liberty, or Give Me Death課文 I翻譯1.議長先生:我比任何人更欽佩剛剛在議會(huì)上發(fā)言的先生們的愛國主義精神和才干。但是,對(duì)同樣的問題,智者見智,仁者見仁。因此,盡管我的觀點(diǎn)與他們大相徑庭,但是我仍要把自己的心里話一吐為快,并希望不要因此而被看做是對(duì)他們大不敬:現(xiàn)在不是講客套的時(shí)候。擺在議會(huì)面前的問題關(guān)系到國家的存亡。我認(rèn)為,這是關(guān)系到享受自由還是蒙受奴役的關(guān)鍵問題, 而且正因?yàn)槭玛P(guān)重大,我們的辯論就要做到各抒己見。只有這樣,我們才能弄清事實(shí)的真相,才能不辜負(fù)上帝和祖國賦予我們的責(zé)任。在這種時(shí)刻,如果怕得罪人而閉口不言,我認(rèn)為就是叛國,就是比
2、對(duì)世上所有國君更為神圣的上帝的不忠行為。2. 議長先生, 對(duì)希望抱有幻覺是人的天性。我們往往緊閉雙眼不去正視痛苦的現(xiàn)實(shí),而是傾聽海妖蠱惑人心的歌聲, 讓她把我們變成禽獸。 在為自由而進(jìn)行艱苦卓絕的斗爭中,這難道是聰明人的所作所為嗎?難道我們?cè)敢鉃閷?duì)獲得拯救如此至關(guān)重要的事情視而不見,聽而不聞嗎?就我來說, 無論精神上有多么痛苦,我仍愿意獲悉全部的真相和最壞的事態(tài),并為之做好充分準(zhǔn)備。3. 我只有一盞指路明燈, 那就是經(jīng)驗(yàn)之燈。 除了過去的經(jīng)驗(yàn), 我沒有其他的方法去判斷未來。依據(jù)過去的經(jīng)驗(yàn),我倒希望知道,十年來英國政府的所作所為,憑什么使得各位先生有理由滿懷希望, 并欣然用來安慰自己和議會(huì)呢?難
3、道就是最近接受我們請(qǐng)?jiān)笗r(shí)的那種狡詐的微笑嗎?不要相信這種微笑, 閣下,事實(shí)證明那是放置在您腳下的陷阱。 不要被人家的親吻把自己出賣了 ! 請(qǐng)你們捫心自問,接受我們請(qǐng)?jiān)笗r(shí)的和藹親善與遍布海陸疆域的大規(guī)模備戰(zhàn)怎么會(huì)相稱呢?難道出于對(duì)我們的愛護(hù)和和解, 就有必要?jiǎng)佑脩?zhàn)艦和軍隊(duì)嗎?難道我們流露過絕不和解的愿望, 因此結(jié)果為了重新贏得我們的愛, 而必須訴諸武力嗎?我們不要再欺騙自己了,閣下,這些都是戰(zhàn)爭和征服的工具,是國王們采取的最后的辯解手段。4. 我要請(qǐng)問先生們,閣下,這些戰(zhàn)爭的部署如果不是為了迫使我們俯首稱臣,那又意味著什么?先生們能夠指出還有其他的動(dòng)機(jī)嗎?難道在世界的這個(gè)地方, 還有什么敵人值得
4、大不列顛如此興師動(dòng)眾, 調(diào)集如此龐大的海陸軍隊(duì)嗎?沒有了,閣下, 什么敵人也沒有。他們完全是針對(duì)我們的, 而不是別人。他們是派來給我們緊緊套上英國政府長期以來鑄造的鎖鏈的。5. 我們用什么來抵抗呢?還要辯論嗎?閣下, 我們已經(jīng)辯論了十年。 難道對(duì)這個(gè)問題我們還有什么新鮮觀點(diǎn)嗎?什么也沒有。 我們已經(jīng)把各個(gè)方面全考慮過了, 但是一切都徒勞枉然。難道我們只得苦苦哀告,微言乞求嗎?難道我們還能期望找到什么沒有窮盡的說法嗎?閣下,我懇求您,我們千萬不要再自欺欺人了。6. 閣下,為了躲避這場即將降臨的風(fēng)暴,一切該做的事情我們都已經(jīng)做了。我們請(qǐng)?jiān)高^,我們抗議過,我們哀求過:我們?cè)莸乖谟埃瑧┣笾浦箛?/p>
5、會(huì)和內(nèi)閣的殘暴行徑。 我們的請(qǐng)?jiān)冈獾矫镆暎?我們的抗議招致格外的鎮(zhèn)壓和侮辱, 我們的哀求被置之不理, 我們被不以為然地從御座前一腳踢開了。 全都枉然, 事已至此, 我們還能沉湎于愚蠢的希望之中嗎?我們什么希望都沒有余地了。 假如我們希望獲得自由, 并維護(hù)我們長期以來為之獻(xiàn)身的崇高權(quán)力,假如我們不愿意卑鄙地放棄我們多年來的斗爭,不獲全勝,絕不收兵,那么,我們必須戰(zhàn)斗!我再重復(fù)一遍, 我們必須戰(zhàn)斗! 我們只有訴諸武力,只有求助于千軍萬馬之主的上帝。7. 閣下,他們說我們太弱小了無法抵擋這么強(qiáng)大的敵手。但是,我們什么時(shí)候才能更強(qiáng)大呢?是下周, 還是明年?難道要等我們被徹底解除武裝,家家戶戶都駐扎了英
6、國士兵的時(shí)候嗎?難道我們靠猶豫不決,無所作為來積聚力量嗎?難道我們高枕而臥,抱有虛無縹緲的希望, 等到敵人捆住了我們的手腳,就能找到有效抵抗敵人的良策嗎?閣下,只要我們恰如其分地利用好自然之神恩賜給我們的力量,我們并不弱小。 一旦 300 萬人民在自己的國土上武裝起來為了自由的神圣事業(yè)而戰(zhàn),那么敵人派遣來的任何武裝力量都無法戰(zhàn)勝我們。此外,我們并非孤軍作戰(zhàn), 公正的上帝主宰著各國的命運(yùn), 他將號(hào)召朋友們?yōu)槲覀兌鴳?zhàn)。閣下,戰(zhàn)爭的勝利并非只屬于強(qiáng)者,它將屬于那些機(jī)警、 主動(dòng)和勇敢的人們。 何況我們已經(jīng)別無選擇。即使我們沒有骨氣,想退出戰(zhàn)斗,也為時(shí)已晚。退路已被切斷,除非甘愿蒙受屈辱和奴役。囚禁我們
7、的鎖鏈已經(jīng)鑄成,叮叮當(dāng)當(dāng)?shù)溺備D聲已經(jīng)在波士頓平原上回蕩,戰(zhàn)爭已經(jīng)無可避免讓它來吧 !我重復(fù)一遍,閣下,讓它來吧!8. 企圖使事態(tài)得到緩和是徒勞的,閣下。各位先生可以高喊, “和平,和平”但是根本沒有和平。 戰(zhàn)爭實(shí)際上已開始了! 從北方刮來的風(fēng)暴將把武器的鏗鏘的撞擊聲傳到我們的耳中。我們的兄弟們已經(jīng)上了戰(zhàn)場! 我們?yōu)槭裁催€要站在這兒袖手旁觀?先生們希望的是什么?他們會(huì)得到什么?難道生命就這么可貴,和平就這么甜美,竟值得以鎖鏈和奴役做代價(jià)?全能的上帝啊,制止他們這樣做吧!我不知道別人會(huì)如何行事:至于我,不自由,毋寧死!Language WorkI.
