A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
种族歧视
Racism
There are still traces of discrimination against race and gender, but it's a lot different than when I started out. It just comes quietly, slowly, sometimes so quietly that you don't realize it until you start looking back.
现在仍然有歧视种族和性别的痕迹，但和我刚开始的时候已经大不相同了。它悄然而至，慢慢而来，有时悄无声息，直到你回首才会发现。
In my country of South Africa, we struggled for years against the evil system of apartheid that divided human beings, children of the same God, by racial classification and then denied many of them fundamental human rights.
在我国南非，我们多年来一直在同邪恶的种族隔离制度作斗争，这种制度以种族分类将人类、同一上帝的子女分割开来，然后剥夺了他们许多人的基本人权。
Xenophobia manifests itself especially against civilizations and cultures that are weak because they lack economic resources, means of subsistence or land. So nomadic people are the first targets of this kind of aggression.
仇外情绪尤其表现在对由于缺乏经济资源、生存手段或土地而软弱的文明和文化。所以游牧民族是这种侵略的第一个目标。
I'm so disturbed when my women students behave as though they can only read women, or black students behave as though they can only read blacks, or white students behave as though they can only identify with a white writer.
当我的女学生表现得好像他们只能阅读女性作品，或者黑人学生表现得好像他们只能阅读黑人作品，或者白人学生表现得好像他们只能认同一位白人作家时，我感到非常不安。
You know, I don't play the race card a lot. I'm half-black, half-white, and I'm proud of - my skin is brown. The world sees me as a black man, but my mother didn't raise me as a black man. She didn't raise me as a white guy.
你知道，我不常打种族牌。我有一半黑人血统，一半白人血统，我很自豪——我的皮肤是棕色的。全世界都把我看作一个黑人，但我的母亲并没有把我当作一个黑人抚养成人。她没有把我当白人养大。
We are victims of evil customs. It is a crime against humanity that our women are shut up within the four walls of the houses as prisoners. There is no sanction anywhere for the deplorable condition in which our women have to live.
我们是邪恶习俗的受害者。把我们的妇女关在房子的四面墙之内作为囚犯是一种危害人类的罪行。我们的妇女必须生活在可悲的条件下，在任何地方都没有制裁。
Africa is a continent in flames. And deep down, if we really accepted that Africans were equal to us, we would all do more to put the fire out. We're standing around with watering cans, when what we really need is the fire brigade.
非洲是一片火海。在内心深处，如果我们真的接受非洲人与我们是平等的，我们就会做得更多来扑灭这场大火。我们拿着饮水机站在那里，而我们真正需要的是消防队。
Those days were very tough. All my teammates are white, and it was a different time. I couldn't go out to eat with the white players; I had to wait until someone brought something out to the bus. We couldn't stay in the same hotels.
那些日子非常艰难。我所有的队友都是白人，那是一个不同的时代。我不能和白人球员一起出去吃饭;我只好等着，直到有人把什么东西搬到车上。我们不能住在同一家旅馆里。
There are the further difficulties of building a population out of a diversity of races, each at a different stage of cultural evolution, some in need of restraint, many in need of protection; everywhere a bewildering Babel of tongues.
从不同的种族中建立一个人口群，每一个种族都处于不同的文化演变阶段，其中一些需要限制，许多需要保护，这还有进一步的困难;到处都是令人眼花缭乱的语言。
Why shouldn't rap be esoteric, able to take in current events, history and criticism? I guess it's this old idea of containment - that rappers, because they're black, can't and shouldn't aspire to look outside the ghetto for influence.
说唱为什么不应该是深奥的，能够接受时事、历史和批评?我想这是一种古老的遏制思想——说唱歌手，因为他们是黑人，不能也不应该渴望从贫民区之外寻求影响。
The conquest of the earth, which mostly means the taking it away from those who have a different complexion or slightly flatter noses than ourselves, is not a pretty thing when you look into it too much. What redeems it is an idea only.
征服地球，主要意味着把它从那些肤色不同或鼻子比我们稍微平坦的人手中夺走，当你对它看得太多的时候，这并不是一件美好的事情。弥补它的只是一个想法。
I'm a real person, and I'm angry. I'm trying to use this celebrity thing to get people some help. AIDS, poverty, racism - I want to be one of the hands that helps stop all that. I'll put it on my shoulders. I'll charge it to my account.
我是个活生生的人，我很生气。我想利用名人效应来帮助人们。艾滋病、贫困、种族歧视——我想成为帮助阻止这一切的一员。我把它扛在肩上。我要把它记在我的账上。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Africans need to be kicked, that's the only thing they understand.
非洲人需要被踢，这是他们唯一能理解的。
Weight issues, race issues will always be there and if you allow them to get to you and you allow them to affect you then yes they affect you. But my thing is I have so many other things to worry about I can't worry about other people's perception of me.
体重问题，种族问题总是存在的，如果你允许它们影响你，你允许它们影响你，那么是的，它们影响你。但是我的问题是我有很多其他的事情要担心，我不能担心别人对我的看法。
If you see something is going wrong within politics and the world today, then some Hip Hop artist is gonna come along and get straight with it. If they think that there's a lot of racism going on then there's another Hip Hop artist who's gonna come out and speak their mind.
如果你发现今天的政治和世界出了什么问题，那么一些嘻哈艺术家就会站出来，把问题解决掉。如果他们认为有很多种族歧视，那么就会有另一个嘻哈歌手站出来，说出他们的想法。
Well, certainly one of the ironies of the success of affirmative action is that the middle class within the black community no longer lives within 'black community' by and large.
平权法案成功的一个讽刺之处在于黑人社区的中产阶级基本上不再生活在“黑人社区”中。
I feel the feminist movement has excluded black women. You cannot talk about being black and a woman within traditional feminist dialogue.
我觉得女权运动排斥了黑人女性。你不能在传统的女权主义对话中谈论黑人和女性。
No greater injury can be done to any youth than to let him feel that because he belongs to this or that race he will be advanced in life regardless of his own merits or efforts.
对任何青年来说，最大的伤害莫过于让他感到，因为他属于这个或那个种族，无论他自己的功绩或努力如何，他都会在生活中获得进步。
