比较以下两段话:
1: “英雄主义是恶的解药。 通过推广英雄主义想象, 尤其是在我们的孩子之中,在教育系统里。 我们要孩子们想,我是那个等待中的英雄, 等待合适的情境出现, 届时我会行英雄之事。 我一生自小与恶相伴, 如今我毕生努力之重点,将从研究恶转向理解英雄主义。”
2: “Heroism as the antidote to evil, by promoting the heroic imagination, especially in our kids, in our educational system. We want kids to think, “I’m a hero in waiting, waiting for the right situation to come along, and I will act heroically. My whole life, I’m now going to focus away from evil – that I’ve been in since I was a kid – to understanding heroes.”
翻译而来的中文给我的直接感染远甚于英文原文。
或许 Jürgen Hinzpeter 要找的正是这样的英雄。
