Civil Disobedience论公民的不服从美国梭罗我由衷地同意这个警句——“最好的政府是管得最少的政府”。

我希望看到这个警句迅速而且系统地得到实施。

我相信,实施后,其最终结果将是——“最好的政府是根本不进行治理的政府”。

当人们做好准备之后,这样的政府就是他们愿意接受的政府,政府充其量不过是一种权宜之计,而大部分政府,有时所有的政府却都是不得计的。

对设置常备军的反对意见很多、很强烈,而且理应占主导地位,它们最终可能转变成反对常设政府。

常备军队不过是常设政府的一支胳臂。

政府本身也只不过是人民选择来行使他们意志的形式,在人民还来不及通过它来运作之前,它同样也很容易被滥用或误用,看看当前的墨西哥战争,它是少数几个人将常设政府当作工具的结果,因为,从一开始,人民本来就不同意采取这种作法。

目前这个美国政府——它不过是一种传统,尽管其历史还不久,但却竭力使自己原封不动地届届相传,可是每届却都丧失掉一些自身的诚实和正直。

它的活力和气力还顶不上一个活人,因为一个人就能随心所欲地摆布它。

对于人民来说,政府是支木头枪。

倘若人们真要使用它互相厮杀,它就注定要开裂。

不过,尽管如此,它却仍然是必不可少的,因为人们需要某种复杂机器之类的玩意儿,需要听它发出的噪音,藉此满足他们对于政府之理念的要求。

于是,政府的存在表明了,为了人民的利益,可以如何成功地利用、欺骗人民,甚至可以使人民利用、欺骗自己。

我们大家都必须承认,这真了不起。

不过,这种政府从未主动地促进过任何事业,它只是欣然地超脱其外。

它未捍卫国家的自由。

它未解决西部问题。

它未从事教育。

迄今,所有的成就全都是由美国人民的传统性格完成的,而且,假如政府不曾从中作梗的话,本来还会取得更大的成就。

因为政府是一种权宜之计,通过它人们可以欣然彼此不来往;而且,如上所述,最便利的政府也就是最不搭理被治理的人民的政府,商业贸易假如不是用印度橡胶制成的话,绝无可能跃过议员们没完没了地设置下的路障;倘若完全以议员们行动的效果,而不是以他们行动的意图来评价的话,那麽他们就理所当然地应当被视作如同在铁路上设路障捣蛋的人,并受到相应的惩罚。

《瓦尔登湖》(通用7篇)

《瓦尔登湖》(通用7篇)

《瓦尔登湖》(通用7篇)《瓦尔登湖》(通用7篇)《瓦尔登湖》篇1《瓦尔登湖》教学设计学习目标1、对《瓦尔登湖》主题思想的掌握了解。

2、学习作者细腻的描写自然景物的手法。

3、学习作者热爱大自然的情感和淳朴的生活情趣,引导学生产生热爱自然的情感,保护自然,关心自然。

教学时数:2课时。

一、导入语二、简介作者美国著名作家、哲学家,著名散文集《瓦尔登湖》和论文《论公民的不服从权利》(又译为《消极抵抗》、《论公民的不服从》),他反对美国的奴隶制度,反对美国对墨西哥的侵略,他对人类社会中他认为是恶的东西的憎恨程度不下于他对大自然的热爱。

他曾因拒绝交税而坐过监狱,一八四九年他发表的一篇著名论文《公民的不服从》(作为单行本出版只是一本薄薄的小书)被人认为是历史上改变世界的十六本书之一,他倡导的"公民的不服从"(civildisobedience)的思想对托尔斯泰、罗曼amp;#8226;罗兰、印度圣雄甘地和马丁amp;#8226;路德amp;#8226;金都曾产生过不小的影响。

在他那里,有着某种隐士和斗士的奇妙结合。

梭罗的思想、行为对美国社会影响很大,但他的生平简单却耐人寻味。

三、关于《瓦尔登湖》《瓦尔登湖》出版于1854年,是19世纪美国文学非小说著作中最受读者欢迎的书籍。

女作家乔治amp;#8226;艾略特称“《瓦尔登湖》是一本超凡入圣的好书,严重的污染使人们丧失了田园的宁静,所以梭罗的著作便被整个世界阅读和怀念。

”在中国有好几种版本,已经流传50年了。

《瓦尔登湖》至少影响了中国两代人。

一本100多年前出版的书,在另一个国度里仍然让许多人痴迷。

据说,诗人海子去山海关自杀时带着4本书,其中有一本是梭罗的《瓦尔登湖》,这和当年唐太宗李世民到死不放王羲之的《兰亭序》颇为相似。

对这部书的读法,从梭罗的研究专家哈丁的论述中或许可以获得一些信息,哈丁说:《瓦尔登湖》至少有五种读法:1.作为一部自然的书籍;2.作为一部自力更生、简单生活的指南;3.作为批评现代生活的一部讽刺作品;4.作为一部文学名著;5.作为一本神圣的书。

人教新课标高中语文必修二《瓦尔登湖》教学设计

课文研讨一、整体把握本文描写了瓦尔登湖美丽的湖光水色,抒发了作者观景时的丰富感受,表达了皈依大自然的心愿和人类文明发展对大自然破坏的痛心。

解读本文可以从三个方面来考查,一是写景方面,一是抒情、议论方面,一是叙事方面(讲述与瓦尔登有关的传说故事和眼前发生的事)。

1.写景方面,主要描写湖光水色、游鱼嬉戏。

依次写了“一个平静的九月下午”的湖景,“十一月中的一个下午”的湖景。

“一个平静的九月下午”的湖景,有远景全景和近景小景两种景致。

远观全景,用了一个精彩的比喻──“它像一条最精细的薄纱张挂在山谷之上”;近观小景,也用了一个精彩的比喻──“这像是玻璃的溶液,已经冷却,但是还没有凝结,而其中连少数尘垢也还是纯洁而美丽的,像玻璃中的细眼”。

两个比喻都生动而贴切,尤其是后一个,感觉很新鲜,这是静心观察、细心揣摩的结果。

其间还穿插着描写了一些小生命的自由欢快的活动,有燕子低空汆水、掠水虫带水生光、鸭子整理羽毛、鱼儿在空中画出圆弧线、鱼儿捉虫子、水蝎在水面上滑行……还有水的波纹、水的漩涡等。

这些都是湖上最有特征的景物。

“十一月中的一个下午”的湖景,主要写小鲈鱼的嬉戏场面。

嬉戏的环境:湖面“出奇地平静”,“反映出了四周小山的十一月的阴暗颜色”,湖水“这样透明、似乎无底”。

用“阴暗”一词,说明作者对景物色彩非常敏感。

嬉戏的鲈鱼“成亿万”,身长五英寸或三英寸,身色是“华丽的铜色”,动作是“盘旋、飞翔”,有时“跳跃得比以前更高,半条鱼身已跳出水面”。

这段的几个比喻非常精彩:“我好像坐了轻气球而飘浮在空中,鲈鱼的游泳又是多么像在盘旋、飞翔,仿佛它们成了一群飞鸟,就在我所处的高度下,或左或右地飞绕;它们的鳍,像帆一样,饱满地张挂着”,“有时候那被它们激荡的水波,好像有一阵微风吹过,或者像有一阵温和的小雨点落下”,“它们惊慌起来,突然尾巴横扫,激起水花,好像有人用一根毛刷般的树枝鞭挞了水波,立刻它们都躲到深水底下去了”,每个比喻都是一种情景,一幅动态的画面,这些画面有声有色,形象感非常强。

On 新the Duty of Civil Disobedience(论公民的不服从)

On 新the Duty of Civil Disobedience(论公民的不服从)

On the Duty of Civil Disobedienceby Henry David ThoreauI heartily accept the motto, "That government is best which governs least"; and I should like to see it acted up to more rapidly and systematically. Carried out, it finally amounts to this, which also I believe--"That government is best which governs not at all"; and when men are prepared for it, that will be the kind of government which the will have. Government is at best but an expedient; but most governments are usually, and all governments are sometimes, inexpedient. The objections which have been brought against a standing army, and they are many and weighty, and deserve to prevail, may also at last be brought against a standing government. The standing army is only an arm of the standing government. The government itself, which is only the mode which the people have chosen to execute their will, is equally liable to be abused and perverted before the people can act through it. Witness the present Mexican war, the work of comparatively a few individuals using the standing government as their tool; for in the outset, the people would not have consented to this measure.This American government--what is it but a tradition, though a recent one, endeavoring to transmit itself unimpaired to posterity, but each instant losing some of its integrity? It has not the vitality and force of a single living man; for a single man can bend it to his will. It is a sort of wooden gun to the people themselves. But it is not the less necessary for this; for the people must have some complicated machinery or other, and hear its din, to satisfy that idea of government which they have. Governments show thus how successfully men can be imposed upon, even impose on themselves, for their own advantage. It is excellent, we must all allow. Yet this government never of itself furthered any enterprise, but by the alacrity with which it got out of its way. It does not keep the country free. It does not settle the West. It does not educate. The character inherent in the American people has done all that has been accomplished; and it would have done somewhat more, if the government had not sometimes got in its way. For government is an expedient, by which men would fain succeed in letting one another alone; and, as has been said, when it is most expedient, the governed are most let alone by it. Trade and commerce, ifthey were not made of india-rubber, would never manage to bounce over obstacles which legislators are continually putting in their way; and if one were to judge these men wholly by the effects of their actions and not partly by their intentions, they would deserve to be classed and punished with those mischievious persons who put obstructions on the railroads.But, to speak practically and as a citizen, unlike those who call themselves no-government men, I ask for, not at one no government, but at once a better government. Let every man make known what kind of government would command his respect, and that will be one step toward obtaining it.After all, the practical reason why, when the power is once in the hands of the people, a majority are permitted, and for a long period continue, to rule is not because they are most likely to be in the right, nor because this seems fairest to the minority, but because they are physically the strongest. But a government in which the majority rule in all cases can not be based on justice, even as far as men understand it. Can there not be a government in which the majorities do not virtually decide right and wrong, but conscience?--in which majorities decide only those questions to which the rule of expediency is applicable? Must the citizen ever for a moment, or in the least degree, resign his conscience to the legislator? WHy has every man a conscience then? I think that we should be men first, and subjects afterward. It is not desirable to cultivate a respect for the law, so much as for the right. The only obligation which I have a right to assume is to do at any time what I think right. It is truly enough said that a corporation has no conscience; but a corporation on conscientious men is a corporation with a conscience. Law never made men a whit more just; and, by means of their respect for it, even the well-disposed are daily made the agents on injustice. A common and natural result of an undue respect for the law is, that you may see a file of soldiers, colonel, captain, corporal, privates, powder-monkeys, and all, marching in admirable order over hill and dale to the wars, against their wills, ay, against their common sense and consciences, which makes it very steep marching indeed, and produces a palpitation of the heart. They have no doubt that it is a damnable business in which they areconcerned; they are all peaceably inclined. Now, what are they? Men at all? or small movable forts and magazines, at the service of some unscrupulous man in power? Visit the Navy Yard, and behold a marine, such a man as an American government can make, or such as it can make a man with its black arts--a mere shadow and reminiscence of humanity, a man laid out alive and standing, and already, as one may say, buried under arms with funeral accompaniment, though it may be,"Not a drum was heard, not a funeral note, As his corse to the rampart we hurried; Not a soldier discharged his farewell shot O'er the grave where out hero was buried."The mass of men serve the state thus, not as men mainly, but as machines, with their bodies. They are the standing army, and the militia, jailers, constables, posse comitatus, etc. In most cases there is no free exercise whatever of the judgement or of the moral sense; but they put themselves on a level with wood and earth and stones; and wooden men can perhaps be manufactured that will serve the purpose as well. Such command no more respect than men of straw or a lump of dirt. They have the same sort of worth only as horses and dogs. Yet such as these even are commonly esteemed good citizens. Others--as most legislators, politicians, lawyers, ministers, and office-holders--serve the state chiefly with their heads; and, as the rarely make any moral distinctions, they are as likely to serve the devil, without intending it, as God. A very few--as heroes, patriots, martyrs, reformers in the great sense, and men--serve the state with their consciences also, and so necessarily resist it for the most part; and they are commonly treated as enemies by it. A wise man will only be useful as a man, and will not submit to be "clay," and "stop a hole to keep the wind away," but leave that office to his dust at least:"I am too high born to be propertied, To be a second at control, Or useful serving-man and instrument To any sovereign state throughout the world."He who gives himself entirely to his fellow men appears to them useless and selfish; but he who gives himself partially to them in pronounced a benefactor and philanthropist.How does it become a man to behave toward the Americangovernment today? I answer, that he cannot without disgrace be associated with it. I cannot for an instant recognize that political organization as my government which is the slave's government also.All men recognize the right of revolution; that is, the right to refuse allegiance to, and to resist, the government, when its tyranny or its inefficiency are great and unendurable. But almost all say that such is not the case now. But such was the case, they think, in the Revolution of '75. If one were to tell me that this was a bad government because it taxed certain foreign commodities brought to its ports, it is most probable that I should not make an ado about it, for I can do without them. All machines have their friction; and possibly this does enough good to counter-balance the evil. At any rate, it is a great evil to make a stir about it. But when the friction comes to have its machine, and oppression and robbery are organized, I say, let us not have such a machine any longer. In other words, when a sixth of the population of a nation which has undertaken to be the refuge of liberty are slaves, and a whole country is unjustly overrun and conquered by a foreign army, and subjected to military law, I think that it is not too soon for honest men to rebel and revolutionize. What makes this duty the more urgent is that fact that the country so overrun is not our own, but ours is the invading army.Paley, a common authority with many on moral questions, in his chapter on the "Duty of Submission to Civil Government," resolves all civil obligation into expediency; and he proceeds to say that "so long as the interest of the whole society requires it, that it, so long as the established government cannot be resisted or changed without public inconveniencey, it is the will of God. . .that the established government be obeyed--and no longer. This principle being admitted, the justice of every particular case of resistance is reduced to a computation of the quantity of the danger and grievance on the one side, and of the probability and expense of redressing it on the other." Of this, he says, every man shall judge for himself. But Paley appears never to have contemplated those cases to which the rule of expediency does not apply, in which a people, as well and an individual, must do justice, cost what it may. If I have unjustly wrested a plank from a drowning man, I mustrestore it to him though I drown myself. This, according to Paley, would be inconvenient. But he that would save his life, in such a case, shall lose it. This people must cease to hold slaves, and to make war on Mexico, though it cost them their existence as a people.In their practice, nations agree with Paley; but does anyone think that Massachusetts does exactly what is right at the present crisis?"A drab of stat, a cloth-o'-silver slut, To have her train borne up, and her soul trail in the dirt."Practically speaking, the opponents to a reform in Massachusetts are not a hundred thousand politicians at the South, but a hundred thousand merchants and farmers here, who are more interested in commerce and agriculture than they are in humanity, and are not prepared to do justice to the slave and to Mexico, cost what it may. I quarrel not with far-off foes, but with those who, neat at home, co-operate with, and do the bidding of, those far away, and without whom the latter would be harmless. We are accustomed to say, that the mass of men are unprepared; but improvement is slow, because the few are not as materially wiser or better than the many. It is not so important that many should be good as you, as that there be some absolute goodness somewhere; for that will leaven the whole lump. There are thousands who are in opinion opposed to slavery and to the war, who yet in effect do nothing to put an end to them; who, esteeming themselves children of Washington and Franklin, sit down with their hands in their pockets, and say that they know not what to do, and do nothing; who even postpone the question of freedom to the question of free trade, and quietly read the prices-current along with the latest advices from Mexico, after dinner, and, it may be, fall asleep over them both. What is the price-current of an honest man and patriot today? They hesitate, and they regret, and sometimes they petition; but they do nothing in earnest and with effect. They will wait, well disposed, for other to remedy the evil, that they may no longer have it to regret. At most, they give up only a cheap vote, and a feeble countenance and Godspeed, to the right, as it goes by them. There are nine hundred and ninety-nine patrons of virtue to one virtuous man. But it is easier to deal with the real possessor of a thing than with the temporary guardian of it.All voting is a sort of gaming, like checkers or backgammon, with a slight moral tinge to it, a playing with right and wrong, with moral questions; and betting naturally accompanies it. The character of the voters is not staked. I cast my vote, perchance, as I think right; but I am not vitally concerned that that right should prevail. I am willing to leave it to the majority. Its obligation, therefore, never exceeds that of expediency. Even voting for the right is doing nothing for it. It is only expressing to men feebly your desire that it should prevail. A wise man will not leave the right to the mercy of chance, nor wish it to prevail through the power of the majority. There is but little virtue in the action of masses of men. When the majority shall at length vote for the abolition of slavery, it will be because they are indifferent to slavery, or because there is but little slavery left to be abolished by their vote. They will then be the only slaves. Only his vote can hasten the abolition of slavery who asserts his own freedom by his vote.I hear of a convention to be held at Baltimore, or elsewhere, for the selection of a candidate for the Presidency, made up chiefly of editors, and men who are politicians by profession; but I think, what is it to any independent, intelligent, and respectable man what decision they may come to? Shall we not have the advantage of this wisdom and honesty, nevertheless? Can we not count upon some independent votes? Are there not many individuals in the country who do not attend conventions? But no: I find that the respectable man, so called, has immediately drifted from his position, and despairs of his country, when his country has more reasons to despair of him. He forthwith adopts one of the candidates thus selected as the only available one, thus proving that he is himself available for any purposes of the demagogue. His vote is of no more worth than that of any unprincipled foreigner or hireling native, who may have been bought. O for a man who is a man, and, and my neighbor says, has a bone is his back which you cannot pass your hand through! Our statistics are at fault: the population has been returned too large. How many men are there to a square thousand miles in the country? Hardly one. Does not America offer any inducement for men to settle here? The American has dwindled into an Odd Fellow--one who may be。

未雨绸缪,天灾可防----- 天气预报新时代1 1999年年底,委内瑞拉北部阿维拉山区连续下了两周的滂沱大雨。

山上的土壤被雨水浸透,导致山体滑坡和泥石流,冲毁了城镇、大坝和桥梁,数千人遇难。

虽然这是近几十年来最严重的自然灾害之一,但从全世界范围看,此类天灾并不鲜见。

2003年,全球共发生700起洪水、暴雨和其他气象灾难,导致75000人死亡,经济损失达650亿美元。

绝大多数受害者(约98%)生活在最贫穷的几个国家。

2 世界气象组织官员指出,未来有望使死亡人数减半。

该组织是联合国机构之一,拥有187个成员国,却鲜为人知。

2004年3月,世界气象组织发起了一项活动,旨在帮助发展中国家改进早期气象预警系统,提高防灾能力,并加强气象部门建设。

该组织负责人表示,全面提高天气预报能力,可以使人们尽早得知灾害的临近,及时组织人员转移或做好充分防灾准备。

中国气象局气象学家高兰英说:“如今我们可以预测未来五天的天气,准确度不亚于20年前对于两天后的预报,而且几乎可以做到在全球范围内随时、随地播报。

”例如,1997年台风维尼袭击中国沿海时,中国就做到了早期预报。

准确的预报使政府能够每小时发布一次台风消息,组织渔船回港,从危险地区和地势低洼地区撤出了140万群众,并转移了粮食和其他物资。

高兰英在最近撰写的一份分析中国气象灾害的论文中指出:这次台风造成的死亡人数仅为239人,而不是数千人。

3 令人担忧的是,虽然天气预报技术已有较大提高,发展中国家和发达国家之间仍存在不小的差距。

2004年东南亚发生的海啸使人们认识到,贫穷国家通常没有能力收集数据和使用数据,因此无力减少自然灾害损失,灾害一发生,食品和水的供应就要受到影响。

自然灾害所带来的损失,以及其对社会发展的负面影响,已经引起了世界银行的关注。

自然灾害可以使一个国家的经济遭受灭顶之灾。

1999年发生在委内瑞拉的泥石流造成的经济损失高达32亿美元。

1998年10月,飓风米奇横扫洪都拉斯,据世界银行统计,该国41%的国内生产总值化为乌有。

新视野大学英语2课文翻译

新视野大学英语2课文翻译

新视野大学英语2课文翻译第一单元A美国人认为没有人能停止不前。

如果你不求进取,你就会落伍。

这种态度造就了一个投身于研究、实验和探索的民族。

时间是美国人注意节约的两个要素之一,另一要素是劳力。

人们一直说:“只有时间才能支配我们。

〞人们似乎把时间当作一个差不多是实实在在的东西来对待。

我们安排时间、节约时间、浪费时间、挤抢时间、消磨时间、缩减时间、对时间的利用作出解释;我们还要因付出时间而收取费用。

时间是一种珍贵的资源,许多人都深感人生的短暂。

时光一去不复返。

我们应当让每一分钟都过得有意义。

外国人对美国的第一印象很可能是:每个人都匆匆忙忙──常常处于压力之下。

城里人看上去总是在匆匆地赶往他们要去的地方,在商店里他们焦躁不安地指望店员能马上来为他们效劳,或者为了赶快买完东西,用肘来推搡他人。

白天吃饭时人们也都匆匆忙忙,这局部地反映出这个国家的生活节奏。

人们认为工作时间是珍贵的。

在公共用餐场所,人们都等着别人尽快吃完,以便他们也能及时用餐,你还会发现司机开车很鲁莽,人们推搡着在你身边过去。

你会思念微笑、简短的交谈以及与陌生人的随意闲聊。

不要觉得这是针对你个人的,这是因为人们都非常珍惜时间,而且也不喜欢他人“浪费〞时间到不恰当的地步。

许多刚到美国的人会思念诸如商务拜访等场合开场时的应酬。

他们也会思念那种一边喝茶或喝咖啡一边进展的礼节性交流,这也许是他们自己国家的一种习俗。

他们也许还会思念在饭店或咖啡馆里谈生意时的那种轻松悠闲的交谈。

一般说来,美国人是不会在如此轻松的环境里通过长时间的闲聊来评价他们的客人的,更不用说会在增进相互间信任的过程中带他们出去吃饭,或带他们去打高尔夫球。

既然我们通常是通过工作而不是社交来评估和了解他人,我们就开门见山地谈正事。

因此,时间老是在我们心中滴滴答答地响着。

因此,我们千方百计地节约时间。

我们创造了一系列节省劳力的装置;我们通过发、打或发电子与他人迅速地进展交流,而不是通过直接接触。

Review 8. Civil Disobedience - 课后书评简单版

Review of Civil DisobedienceHenry David Thoreau, distinguished American author and philosopher, wrote an essay called Resistance to Civil Government. The essay is arguing against an unjust state then. The passage reviewed today is adapted from the essay.The paper tries to study the relation between government power and individual rights. In the beginning, David claims that he accept the motto “That government is best which governs least”and then explains why he believe so. After that, the author talks about American government, pointing out that the government is doing more evil than good at that time. In order to support that people can refuse to comply with some vicious law, he says that “we should be men first, and subjects afterward”, advocating a flexible governing method instead of the notorious legislation method. In front of the fact that there were many slaves then, David warns that “when a sixth of the population of a nation whi ch has undertaken to be the refuge of liberty are slaves, and a whole country is unjustly overrun and conquered by a foreign army, and subjected to military law, I think that it is not too soon for honest men to rebel and revolutionize”. In the end, Thoreau emphasizes that government should cherish the rights of individuals, and grant them power and freedom. Only in this way, he believes, can a government make the most possible progress.To be frank, the paper is difficult to thoroughly understand. However, I am fascinated by the idea –“There will never be a really free and enlightened State until the State comes to recognize the individual as a higher and independent power, from which all its own power and authority are derived, and treats him accordingly”. The idea attaches much importance to the recognition and realization of humanity and individual rights, and the sensible constraint to the government power. In China, an iconic developing country where democracy and freedom are relatively less concerned by the policy makers, the idea is widely discussed and even arousing disputes in public sometimes.The whole passage read, I am convinced that David Thoreau is indeed a master in literature and philosophy. Not only his wording and structuring of sentences is elegant and fluent, but also his logic coherence is nearly flawless. However, Thoreau is a man living 100 years earlier than us, so that some of his language inevitably imposes obstacle for us in understanding.In conclusion, I like the idea put forward by David Thoreau. His thoughts are worth learning, and will always inspire me, and many youth I suppose, to rethink the relation between government and individuals.October 27, 2013。

Cities lay in ruins, economies were destroyed, tens of millions of people were killed, and families across the globe were homeless and mourning the loss of loved ones. World War II, the deadliest human conflict of all time, had shattered people's lives everywhere. From the ashes of this utter destruction rose the organization that we now know as the United Nations (UN), offering hope to a world desperate for lasting peace and security. It is my privilege and pleasure to stand before you today and share with you a little bit about this wonderful organization.1945年,世界陷入了困境。

城市成为废墟,经济被摧毁,数千万人丧生,全球各地的家庭无家可归,哀悼失去的亲人。

第二次世界大战是有史以来最致命的人类冲突,它摧毁了世界各地人民的生活。

从这场彻底毁灭的灰烬中诞生了我们现在所知的联合国,它为渴望持久和平与安全的世界带来了希望。

C i v i lD i s o b e d i e n c e中文翻译Civil Disobedience论公民的不服从美国梭罗我由衷地同意这个警句——“最好的政府是管得最少的政府”。

我希望看到这个警句迅速而且系统地得到实施。

我相信,实施后,其最终结果将是——“最好的政府是根本不进行治理的政府”。

当人们做好准备之后,这样的政府就是他们愿意接受的政府,政府充其量不过是一种权宜之计,而大部分政府,有时所有的政府却都是不得计的。

对设置常备军的反对意见很多、很强烈,而且理应占主导地位,它们最终可能转变成反对常设政府。

常备军队不过是常设政府的一支胳臂。

政府本身也只不过是人民选择来行使他们意志的形式,在人民还来不及通过它来运作之前,它同样也很容易被滥用或误用,看看当前的墨西哥战争,它是少数几个人将常设政府当作工具的结果,因为,从一开始,人民本来就不同意采取这种作法。

目前这个美国政府——它不过是一种传统,尽管其历史还不久,但却竭力使自己原封不动地届届相传,可是每届却都丧失掉一些自身的诚实和正直。

它的活力和气力还顶不上一个活人,因为一个人就能随心所欲地摆布它。

对于人民来说,政府是支木头枪。

倘若人们真要使用它互相厮杀,它就注定要开裂。

不过,尽管如此,它却仍然是必不可少的,因为人们需要某种复杂机器之类的玩意儿,需要听它发出的噪音,藉此满足他们对于政府之理念的要求。

于是,政府的存在表明了,为了人民的利益,可以如何成功地利用、欺骗人民,甚至可以使人民利用、欺骗自己。

我们大家都必须承认,这真了不起。

不过,这种政府从未主动地促进过任何事业,它只是欣然地超脱其外。

它未捍卫国家的自由。

它未解决西部问题。

它未从事教育。

迄今,所有的成就全都是由美国人民的传统性格完成的,而且,假如政府不曾从中作梗的话,本来还会取得更大的成就。

因为政府是一种权宜之计,通过它人们可以欣然彼此不来往;而且,如上所述,最便利的政府也就是最不搭理被治理的人民的政府,商业贸易假如不是用印度橡胶制成的话,绝无可能跃过议员们没完没了地设置下的路障;倘若完全以议员们行动的效果,而不是以他们行动的意图来评价的话,那麽他们就理所当然地应当被视作如同在铁路上设路障捣蛋的人,并受到相应的惩罚。

但是,现实地以一个公民的身份来说,我不像那些自称是无政府主义的人,我要求的不是立即取消政府,而是立即要有个好一些的政府。

让每一个人都表明能赢得他尊敬的是什麽样的政府,这样,也就为赢得这种政府迈出了一步。

到头来,当权力掌握在人民手中的时候,多数派将有权统治,而且继续长期统治,其实际原因不是因为他们极可能是正义的,也不是因为这在少数派看来是最公正的,而是因为他们在物质上是最强大的。

但是,一个由多数派作出所有决定的政府,是不可能建立在正义之上的,即使在人们对其所了解的意义上都办不到。

在一个政府中,如果对公正与谬误真正作出决定的不是多数派而是良知,如果多数派仅仅针对那些可以运用便利法则解决的问题做出决定,难道是不可能的吗?公民必须,哪怕是暂时地或最低限度地把自己的良知托付给议员吗?那麽,为什麽每个人还都有良知呢?我认为,我们首先必须做人,其后才是臣民。

培养人们像尊重正义一样尊重法律是不可取的。

我有权承担的唯一义务是不论何时都从事我认为是正义的事。

……那麽一个人应当怎样对待当今的美国政府呢?我的回答是,与其交往有辱人格。

我绝对不能承认作为奴隶制政府的一个政治机构是我的政府。

人人都承认革命的权利,即当政府是暴政或政府过于无能令人无法忍受的时候,有权拒绝为其效忠,并抵制它的权利。

但是,几乎所有人都说,现在的情况并非如此。

他们认为,1775年的情况才是如此。

如果有人对我说,这个政府很糟糕,它对运抵口岸的某些外国货课税。

我极有可能会无动于衷,因为没有这些外国货,我照样能过日子。

所有的机器都免不了产生摩擦,但是这也许却具有抵消弊端的好处。

不管怎麽说,为此兴师动众是大错特错的。

可是,如果摩擦控制了整个机器,并进行有组织的欺压与掠夺,那麽,就让我们扔掉这部机器吧。

换句话说,如果在一个被认为是自由的庇护所的国家里,人口的六分之一是奴隶,如果整个国家任由一个外国军队蹂躏、征服,并被置于军管之下,那麽,我认为,诚实的人都应立刻奋起反抗、革命。

使这个责任变得更加迫切的是,这个被如此蹂躏的国家不是我国,恰恰相反,我们的军队却正是入侵的军队……事实上,反对马萨诸塞州改革的人不是南方的万把政客,而是这儿的千千万万商人和农场主,他们更感兴趣的是他们的商业和农业,而不是他们属于人类这个事实。

不论花费什麽代价,他们都不打算公平对待奴隶和墨西哥。

我要与之争论的敌人,不是远在天涯,而是那些就在我们周围的敌人。

他们与远方的敌人合作,按照他们的旨意办事。

要不是这些人的话,远方的敌人不会为害。

我们习惯于说,群众还未做好准备。

可是情况的改善是缓慢的,因为这些少数人实质上并不比多数人高明多少或好多少。

在某处树立某种绝对的善,比起让许多人都像你这麽好更重要。

因为绝对的善将像酵母一样影响整体。

在成千上万人具有反对奴隶制、反对战争的观点,但实际上却未做任何事情来结束奴隶制和战争。

他们自以为是华盛顿和富兰克林的子孙,却是两手插在裤兜里,坐在那儿,借口不知道该做些什麽,而无所事事,他们甚至优先考虑自由贸易问题,而不是事关自由的问题。

饭后,他们安然地同时间读时价表和来自墨西哥的消息,也许,读者读着便睡着了……美国人已经蜕变成奇怪的家伙——以爱交际的器官发达而着称,同时又显示出智力低下的沾沾自喜。

在世界上,他最最关心的是确保救济院情况良好;他还未披上合法的外衣,便四下募捐以扶助孤寡,尽管这些孤寡眼下还不是孤寡。

总之,他冒险光靠互助保险公司的资助过日子,而该公司已经答应为他体面地安葬……不公正的法律仍然存在:我们必须心甘情愿地服从这些法律,还是努力去修正它们、服从它们直至我们取得成功,或是立刻粉碎它们呢?在当前这种政府统治下,人们普遍认为应等待,直到说服大多数人去改变它们。

人们认为,如果他们抵制的话,这样修正的结果将比原来的谬误更糟。

不过,如果修正的结果真比原来的谬误更糟的话;那是政府的过错,是政府使其变得更糟的。

为什麽政府不善于预见改革并为其提供机会呢?为什麽政府不珍惜少数派的智慧呢?为什麽政府不见棺材不落泪呢?为什麽政府不鼓励老百姓提高警惕,为政府指出错误而避免犯错误呢?为什麽政府总是把基督钉在十字架上,把哥白尼和路德逐出教会,并指责华盛顿和富兰克林是叛乱分子呢?”…如果不公正是政府机器必然产生的磨擦的一部分,那麽就让它去吧,让它去吧:也许它会磨合好的。

——不过,毫无疑义,机器终将被彻底磨损掉的。

如果不公正的那部分有其独自的弹簧滑轮、绳索,或者曲柄,那麽你可能会考虑修正的结果会不会比原来的谬误更糟;但是,如果不公正的那部分的本质要求你以其人之道还治其人时,那我说就别管这法规了。

以你的生命作为反磨擦的机制来制止这部机器吧。

我不得不做的是,无论如何都要确保我不为我所唾弃的谬误效劳。

至于采纳州政府业已提出的修正谬误的方法,我听都没听过。

那些方法太费时日,不等它们奏效,已经命赴黄泉了。

我还有别的事要干。

我到这世上来主要不是为了把这世界变成个过日子的好地方。

而是到这世上来过日子,不管它是好日子还是坏日子。

一个人办不了每一件事,但是可以做些事。

正因为他不必样样事情都要做,所以他也不一定非做出什麽错事来。

州长和议员们用不着向我请愿,我也犯不着向他们请愿。

如果他们不听从我的请愿,那麽我该怎麽办呢?如果事到如此,州政府也就自绝其路了:其宪法本身也就是谬误的了。

这似乎显得粗暴、顽固和毫无调和之意。

但是,最温和、最体贴的作法,只适用于能够欣赏它,并能够配得上它的人;一切能使情况好转的变迁都是如此,正如振撼整个人体的生与死一样。

我毫无反顾地认为,凡是自称废奴主义者的人都必须立刻撤回对马萨诸塞州政府的人力和财力的支持,不必等到废奴主义者在政府中形成多数,不必等到他们让正义通过他们占了上风才动手。

我认为,如果有上帝站在他们一边的话,就足够了,不必再等另一个了。

况且,任何人只要比周围的人更正义一些,也就构成了一人的多数……在一个监禁正义之士的政府统治之下,正义之士的真正栖身之地也就是监狱。

当今马萨诸塞州为自由和奋发图强之士提供的唯一妥当的处所,是监狱。

在狱中,他们为州政府的行径而烦恼,被禁钢在政治生活之外,因为他们的原则已经给他们带来麻烦了。

逃亡的奴隶,被假释的墨西哥囚犯和申诉白人犯下的罪孽的印第安人可以在监狱里找到他们,在那个与世隔绝,但却更自由、更尊严的地方找到他们。

那是州政府安置不顺其道的叛逆者的地方,是蓄奴制州里一个自由人唯一能够骄傲地居住的地方。

如果有人以为他们的影响会消失在监狱里,他们的呼声不再能传到政府的耳朵里,他们无法在囹圄四壁之内与政府为敌,那麽他们就弄错了。

真理比谬误强大得多,一位对非正义有了一点亲身体验的人在与非正义斗争时会雄辩有力得多。

投下你的一票,那不仅仅是一张纸条,而是你的全部影响。

当少数与多数保持一致时,少数是无足轻重的,它甚至算不上是少数;但是当少数以自身的重量凝聚在一起时,便不可抗拒。

要麽把所有正直的人都投入监狱,要麽放弃战争与奴隶制,如果要在这二者之间做出选择的话,州政府会毫不犹豫地做出选择。

如果今年有一千人不交税,那不是暴烈、血腥的举动,但是若交税则不然。

那是使政府得以施展暴行,让无辜的人流血。

事实上,这正是和平革命的定义,如果和平革命是可能的话。

如果税务官或其它政府官员问我,正如有位官员问我的那样,“那麽,我怎麽办呢?”我的回答是,“如果你真希望做什麽的话,那你就辞职。

”如果臣民拒绝效忠,官员辞职,那麽革命就成功了。

即使假定这会导致流血的话,难道当良心受伤害的时候就不流血吗,从良心的创伤里流出的是人的气概和永生,将使他永世沈沦于死亡之中。

此时此刻,我就看到这种流血……我已经六年未交投票税了。

我还一度为此进过监狱,关了一夜。

当我站在牢房里,打量着牢固的石壁,那石壁足有二、三尺厚,铁木结构的门有一尺厚,还有那滤光的铁栅欗。

我不由地对当局的愚昧颇有感独。

他们对待我,就好像我不过是可以禁锢起来的血肉之躯。

我想,当局最终应当得出这麽个结论:监禁是它处置我的最好办法,而且我还从未想到我还能对它有什麽用处。

我知道,如果说我与乡亲之间挡着堵石墙的话,那麽他们若想要获得我这种自由的话,他们还得爬过或打破一堵比这石墙更难对付的墙才行。

我一刻也不觉得自己是被囚禁着。

这墙看来是浪费了太多的石头和灰泥了。

我觉得,似乎所有公民中,只有我付清了税款。

他们显然不知道该怎样对付我,他们的举止就像些没教养的人。

他们的威胁恭维,样样都显得荒唐可笑。

他们以为我惦记的是挪到这堵墙的另一边。

我不禁觉得好笑,我在沈思时,他们却煞有介事地锁起牢门,全然不知我的思绪就跟在他们身后出了牢房,丝毫不受任何阻碍,而他们自己才真正是危险的。
