Have you excelled us in arts or letters ? Have our thinkers been less profound than yours? Has our civilisation been less elaborate, less complicated, less refined than yours ? Why, when you lived in caves and clothed yourselves with skins we were a cultured people. Do you know that we tried an experiment which is unique in the history of the world? We sought to rule this great country not by force, but by wisdom. And for centuries we succeeded. Then why does the white man despise the yellow? Shall I tell you? Because he has invented the machine gun. That is your superiority. We are a defenceless horde and you can blow us into eternity. You have shattered the dream of our philosophers that the world could be governed by the power of law and order. And now you are teaching our young men your secret. You have thrust your hideous inventions upon us. Do you not know that we have a genius for mechanics? Do you not know that there are in this country four hundred millions of the most practical and industrious people in the world? Do you think it will take us long to learn? And what will become of your superiority when the yellow man can make as good guns as the white and fire them as straight ? You have appealed to the machine gun and by the machine gun shall you be judged.' 辜鴻銘的觀點(diǎn)始終認(rèn)為,,華夏文明要遠(yuǎn)比西方文明更加高級(jí),,危難也只是一時(shí)的,正好比,,一群人被一群強(qiáng)盜搶劫了,,但你不能因?yàn)閾屇愕娜藦?qiáng)壯些,便認(rèn)為自己是有罪的,,落后的,,因?yàn)殄e(cuò)的不是你,而是強(qiáng)盜才對(duì),。如果你因?yàn)樽约罕蝗藫尳倭?,便去怪罪自己的祖宗,這是沒(méi)道理的,,相反,,你是在為自己的祖宗抹黑才對(duì),你應(yīng)該讓自己變得更強(qiáng)大,。 如今,,辜鴻銘先生的話正在一步步的實(shí)現(xiàn),我相信他看到現(xiàn)在的華夏,,應(yīng)該是欣慰的,。 那么諸位,,你們心中的辮子,該何時(shí)剪去??! |
