“We should not go to the people and say, ‘Here we are. We come to give you the charity of our presence, to teach you our science, to show you your errors, your lack of culture, your ignorance of elementary things.’ We should go instead with an inquiring mind and a humble spirit to learn at that great source of wisdom that is the people.”
— Che Guevara, Revolutionary
「我们不应该去跟人们说:『我们来了,我们带来我们莅临的恩泽,来教导我们的科学,来出示你的错误、你的欠缺文化、你对基本事物的无知。』我们应该以求知的心及谦逊的精神,在人类这伟大的智慧来源学习。」– 切‧格瓦拉 (革命家)
charity (n.) 慈善,施舍。ignorance (n.) 无知,愚昧;ignorant (adj.)。an inquiring mind 是「喜欢求知、追根究底的心」;inquire (v.) 询问。例:“How much longer do we have to wait?” Bill inquired. (比尔问:「我们还要等多久?」)。humble (adj.) 谦虚的,谦逊的。
切‧格瓦拉 (1928-1967) 出生阿根廷,为马克斯主义革命家、古巴政变的核心人物。格瓦拉在年轻时的旅行途中,见到百姓贫困的生活而巩固了他反社会不公、资本主义及帝国主义的信念。他最后在波利维亚的革命运动中被美国 CIA 支持的当地部队逮捕及处决。他今天仍然是革命运动及左翼运动的英雄象征。
