A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
不公正
Injustice
The vote is the most powerful instrument ever devised by man for breaking down injustice and destroying the terrible walls which imprison men because they are different from other men.
投票是人类有史以来所设计的最有力的工具,它打破了不公正,摧毁了囚禁人们的可怕的高墙,因为他们与众不同。
Perhaps it is this specter that most haunts working men and women: the planned obsolescence of people that is of a piece with the planned obsolescence of the things they make. Or sell.
也许正是这种幽灵最常萦绕在工作的男男女女身上:人们的计划报废与他们生产的产品的计划报废是一体的。或出售。
I just feel like if I really believe what Dr. King said, 'Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere,' then I should be compelled to use my God-given platform to effect change.
我只是觉得,如果我真的相信金博士所说的“任何地方的不公正都是对任何地方的公正的威胁”,那么我就应该被迫利用上帝赐予我的平台来实现变革。
As things are now going the peace we make, what peace we seem to be making, will be a peace of oil, a peace of gold, a peace of shipping, a peace in brief.without moral purpose or human interest.
随着事态的发展,我们所缔造的和平,我们似乎正在缔造的和平,将是石油的和平,黄金的和平,航运的和平,简言之,和平。没有道德目的或人类利益。
We don't consider the battle has ended in Afghanistan... The battle has begun and its fires are picking up. These fires will reach the White House, because it is the center of injustice and tyranny.
我们不认为阿富汗战争已经结束…战斗已经开始,火力正在增强。这些战火将蔓延到白宫,因为它是不公正和暴政的中心。
Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.
任何地方的不公正对任何地方的正义都是一种威胁。我们被困在一个不可逃避的相互联系的网络中,被命运的一件外衣所束缚。任何直接影响一个人的东西,都会间接地影响所有人。
As long as justice and injustice have not terminated their ever renewing fight for ascendancy in the affairs of mankind, human beings must be willing, when need is, to do battle for the one against the other.
只要正义和不公正没有结束它们在人类事务中为取得支配地位而进行的不断更新的斗争,人类就必须愿意在必要时为正义和不公正进行斗争。
For some reason, I seem to be bothered whenever I see acts of injustice and assaults on people's civil liberties. I imagine what I write in the future will follow in that vein. Whether it's fiction or non-fiction.
出于某种原因,每当我看到不公正的行为和对公民自由的侵犯时,我似乎都会感到不安。我想我将来写的东西也会遵循这种风格。不管是小说还是非小说。
Freedom is not worth having if it does not connote freedom to err. It passes my comprehension how human beings, be they ever so experienced and able, can delight in depriving other human beings of that precious right.
如果自由不意味着犯错的自由,那么它就不值得拥有。我无法理解,人类,无论他们多么有经验和能力,如何能以剥夺他人的这种宝贵权利为乐。
The rain is famous for falling on the just and unjust alike, but if I had the management of such affairs I would rain softly and sweetly on the just, but if I caught a sample of the unjust out doors I would drown him.
雨落在正义和非正义的人身上都是出了名的,但是如果我能处理好这些事情,我就会温柔而甜蜜地落在正义的人身上,但是如果我在门外抓到一个非正义的人的样本,我就会把他淹死。
If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.
如果你在不公正的情况下保持中立,你就选择了压迫者的一边。如果大象的脚踩在老鼠的尾巴上,而你说你是中立的,老鼠不会欣赏你的中立。
I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.
我发誓,无论何时何地,只要有人忍受痛苦和羞辱,我绝不保持沉默。我们必须始终站在任何一方。中立帮助压迫者,而不是受害者。沉默鼓励受折磨的人,而不是受折磨的人。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
Extreme law is often extreme injustice.
极端的法律往往是极端的不公正。
That only a few, under any circumstances, protest against the injustice of long-established laws and customs, does not disprove the fact of the oppressions, while the satisfaction of the many, if real only proves their apathy and deeper degradation.
在任何情况下,只有少数人抗议长期存在的法律和习俗的不公正,但这并不能证明压迫的事实是不成立的,而许多人的满足,如果是真实的,只能证明他们的冷漠和更深的堕落。
What irritates me is the bland way people go around saying, 'Oh, our attitude has changed. We don't dislike these people any more.' But by the strangest coincidence, they haven't taken away the injustice; the laws are still on the books.
让我恼火的是,人们到处都在平淡地说,‘哦,我们的态度变了。我们不再讨厌这些人了。“但最奇怪的巧合是,他们并没有消除不公正;法律仍在制定之中。
I'll also say, yes, I think the change in black consciuosness in recent years has made me more sensitive to injustice in every area of my life.
我还想说,是的,我认为近年来黑人意识的变化使我对生活中各个领域的不公更加敏感。
When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty.
当不公正成为法律时,反抗就成了责任。
Last guys don't finish nice.
最后一个人的结局并不好。
