把这一句,留给此刻的你
When old settlers say ‘One has to understand the country,’ what they mean is, ‘You have to get used to our ideas about the native.’ They are saying, in effect, ‘Learn our ideas, or otherwise get out; we don’t want you.’
当老殖民者说“一个人必须了解这个国家”时,他们的意思是“你必须习惯我们对原住民的看法”。他们实际上是在说,学习我们的想法,否则就滚蛋;我们不需要你。”
