The Wrong Side of History
President Trump’s statement following the events in Charlottesville in August, in which he said “both sides” were to blame, showed his complicity with ideologies that promote hate, especially directed toward marginalized groups. The events in Charlottesville caused lookups for white supremacist, nazi, neo-nazi, anti-fascist, and antifa to trend in our data.
Social Media as a Propaganda Platform
In late October, Google, Facebook, and Twitter testified in front of congress about online content created and circulated by Russian operatives with the purpose of meddling in the US presidential election. Officials from each of these companies swore in before the Senate Judiciary Committee’s Crime and Terrorism Subcommittee for questioning about political ads sold to Russian trolls. The subcommittee chipped away at the question of how these companies (with the top technological resources in the world) could allow this to happen. To what extent are these companies complicit in the propagation of propaganda, fake news, and disinformation? The answer is extremely nuanced and still up for debate, but just raising the question is an important first step.
As we all know, we are bound to encounter kinds of challenges and hardships in this modern society, abundant opportunities as well as competition. The difference between winners and losers mainly lies in X . Studies have shown that the people who have X set more goals, and put more effort into attaining their goals, stay more engaged in the face of difficulty, and rise above obstacles more easily. The people who have X also cope better in high stress situations and are better able to maintain high levels of well-being during times of hardship
我们都知道,我们一定会遇到各种挑战和困难在这个现代社会,丰富的机遇以及竞争。成功者和失败者的区别主要在于X。研究表明,有X的人设置更多的目标,并投入更多的努力来实现自己的目标,面对困难投入更多,更容易跨越障碍。在高压力的情况下有X 的人也会应对的更好,在艰难时刻能更好地保持高水平的福祉。
College will be the most important years in your life. It is in college that you will truly discover what learning is about. You often question “what good is this course”. I encourage you to be inquisitive, but I also want to tell you :“education is what you have left after all that is taught is forgotten”. What I mean by that is the materials taught isn’t as important as you gaining the ability to learn a new subject, and the ability to analyze a new problem. That is really what learning in college is about – this will be the period where you go from teacher-taught to master-inspired, after which you must become self-learner. So do take each subject seriously, and even if what you learn isn’t critical for your life, the skills of learning will be something you cherish forever。
大学将是你人生最重要的时光，在大学里你会发现学习的真谛。你以前经常会问到 “这个课程有什么用”，这是个好问题，但是我希望你理解：“教育的真谛就是当你忘记一切所学到的东西之后所剩下的东西。”我的意思是，最重要的不是你学到的具体的知识，而是你学习新事物和解决新问题的能力。这才是大学学习的真正意义——这将是你从被动学习转向自主学习的阶段，之后你会变成一个很好的自学者。所以，即便你所学的不是生活里所急需的，也要认真看待大学里的每一门功课，就算学习的技能你会忘记，学习的能力是你将受用终身的。
Do not fall into the trap of dogma. There is no single simple answer to any question.Remember during your high school debate class, I always asked you to take on the side that you don’t believe in? I did that for a reason -- things rarely“black and white”， and there are always many ways to look at a problem. You will become a better problem solver if you recognized that. This is called “critical thinking”， and it is the most important thinking skill you need for your life. This also means you need to become tolerant and supportive of others. I will always remember when I went to my Ph.D. advisor and proposed a new thesis topic. He said “I don’t agree with you, but I’ll support you。” After the years, I have learned this isn’t just flexibility, it is encouragement of critical thinking, and an empowering style of leadership, and it has become a part of me. I hope it will become a part of you too。
不要被教条所束缚，任何问题都没有一个唯一的简单的答案。还记得当我帮助你高中的辩论课程时，我总是让你站在你不认可的那一方来辩论吗?我这么做的理由就是希望你能够理解：看待一个问题不应该非黑即白，而是有很多方法和角度。当你意识到这点的时候，你就会成为一个很好的解决问题者。这就是“批判的思维”——你的一生都会需要的最重要的思考方式，这也意味着你还需要包容和支持不同于你的其他观点。我永远记得我去找我的博士导师提出了一个新论题，他告诉我：“我不同意你，但我支持你。”多年后，我认识到这不仅仅是包容，而是一种批判式思考，更是令人折服的领导风格，现在这也变成了我的一部分。我希望这也能成为你的一部分。
Follow your passion in college. Take courses you think you will enjoy. Don’t be trapped in what others think or say. Steve Jobs says when you are in college, your passion will create many dots, and later in your life you will connect them. In his great speech given at Stanford commencement , he gave the great example where he took calligraphy, and a decade later, it became the basis of the beautiful Macintosh fonts, which later ignited desktop publishing, and brought wonderful tools like Microsoft Word to our lives. His expedition into calligraphy was a dot, and the Macintosh became the connecting line. So don’t worry too much about what job you will have, and don’t be too utilitarian, and if you like Japanese or Korean, go for it, even if your dad thinks “it’s not useful。” ：) Enjoy picking your dots, and be assured one day you will find your calling, and connect a beautiful curve through the dots。
在大学里你要追随自己的激情和兴趣，选你感兴趣的课程，不要困扰于别人怎么说或怎么想。史蒂夫•乔布斯曾经说过，在大学里你的热情会创造出很多点，在你随后的生命中你会把这些点串联起来。在他著名的斯坦福毕业典礼演讲中，他举了一个很好的例子：他在大学里修了看似毫无用处的书法，而十年后，这成了苹果Macintosh里漂亮字库的基础，而因为Macintosh有这么好的字库，才带来了桌面出版和今天的办公软件(例如微软Office)。他对书法的探索就是一个点，而苹果Macintosh把多个点联结成了一条线。所以不要太担心将来你要做什么样的工作，也不要太急功近利。假如你喜欢日语或韩语，就去学吧，尽管你的爸爸曾说过那没什么用：)尽兴地选择你的点吧，要有信念有一天机缘来临时，你会找到自己的人生使命，画出一条美丽的曲线。
一.man’s dearest possession is life. it is given to him but once, and he must live it so as to feel no torturing regrets for wasted years, never know the burning shame of a mean and petty past; so live that, dying, he might say: all my life, all my strength were given to the finest cause in all the world—the fight for the liberation of mankind.
人生最宝贵的是生命。生命对于人来说只有一次。一个人的生命应该这样度过：当他回首往事时，不因虚度年华而悔恨;也不会因为碌碌无为而羞耻。在临死的时候他能够说：我的整个生命和全部精力都已经献给了世界上最壮丽的事业――为人类的解放事业而斗争!
二.happiness lies not in the mere possession of money, it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative efforts, the joy and moral stimulation of work no longer must be forgotten in the mad chase of evanescent profits. these dark days, my friends, will be worth all they cost us, if they teach us that our true destiny is not to be ministered on to , but to minister to ourselves, to our fellow men.
幸福并不在于单纯的占有金钱，幸福还在于取得成功后的喜悦，在于创造努力时的激情。务必不能再忘记劳动带来的喜悦和激励，而去疯狂追逐那转瞬即逝的利润。如果这些黯淡的日子能使我们认识到，我们真正的使命不是要别人侍奉，而是要为自己和同胞们服务的话，那么，我们付出的代价是完全值得的。
三.i have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed-we hold theses truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal. i have a dream that one day on the red hills of georgia, sons of former slaves and sons of former slave owners will be able to sit together at the table of brotherhood. i have a dream my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. i have a dream today! when we allow freedom to ring, when we let it ring from every village and hamlet, from every state and city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of god’s children-black men and white men , jews and gentiles, catholics and protestants-will be able to join hands and to sing in the words of the old negro spiritual, “free at least ,free at last . thank god almighty, we are free at last.”
我有一个梦：有一天，这个国家将站起来，并实现他的信条的真正含义：我们将捍卫这些不言而喻的真理，即所有人生来平等。我有一个梦：有一天在乔治亚洲红色的山丘上，从前的奴隶的子孙们能和奴隶主的子孙们像兄弟一样坐在同一张桌旁;我有一个梦我的四个孩子有一天将生活在这样一个国度，在那里，人们不以肤色，而是以品格来评价他们。当自由的钟声响起的时候，当我们让它从每一个村庄，每一个州，每一个城市响起的时候，我们将能够加速这一天的到来。那是，上帝所有的孩子，无论黑人白人还是犹太人，异教徒。天主教徒，还是新教徒，他们都能够手挽手歌唱那古老的黑人圣歌：“终于自由了，终于自由了，感谢上帝，我们终于自由了!”
四.i have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat. we have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. we have before us many, many months of struggle and suffering. you ask, what is our aim? i can answer in one word, it is victory. victory at all costs—victory in spite of all terrors—victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival. let that be realized, no survival for the british empire, no survival for all that british empire has stood for , no survival for the urge, the impulse of the ages, that mankind shall more forward toward his goal. i take up my task in buoyancy and hope. i feel sure that our cause will not be suffered to fail among men. i feel entitled at this juncture, at this time, to claim the aid of all and to say, “come then, let us go forward together with our united strength.”
我能奉献的唯有热血、辛劳、泪水和汗水。我们所面临的将是一场极为残酷的考验，我们面临的将是旷日持久的斗争和苦难。你若问我们的目标是什么?我可以用一个词来概括，那就是胜利。不惜一切代价去夺取胜利，不畏惧一切恐怖去夺取胜利，不论前路再长再苦也要多去胜利，因为没有胜利纠无法生存!我们必须意识到，没有胜利就没有大英帝国，没有胜利就没有大英帝国所象征的一切，没有胜利就没有多少世纪以来强烈的要求和冲动：人类应当向自己的目标迈进。此刻，我的精神振奋，满怀信心地承当起自己的人物。我确信，只要我们大家联合，我们的事业就不会挫败。此时此刻千钧一发之际，我觉得我有权要求各方面的支持。我要呼吁：“来吧，让我们群策努力，并肩迈进!”
五. my fellow americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country. my fellow citizens of the world, ask not what america will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of men. finally whether you are citizens of america, or citizens of the world, ask of us here, the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you. with a good conscience of our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking his blessing and his help, but knowing that here on earth, god's work must truly be our own.--by john f. kennedy
译文：
美国同胞们，不要问美国能为你们做些什么，应该问你们能为美国贡献些什么。全世界的同胞们，不要问美国将为你做些什么，应该问我们一同能为人类的自由做些什么。最后，无论你是美国公民还是其他国家的同胞，你们应该要求我们献出我们同样要求于你们的高度的力量和牺牲。无愧于心是我们惟一可靠的奖赏，历史是我们行动最终的裁判。这一切让我们大步向前，去引领我们所热爱的这片土地。我们祈求上帝的保佑和帮助，但我们很清楚，上帝在尘世的工作必定是我们自己的工作。 --[美]约翰·肯尼迪
六、let me express my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself-nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror, which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance. in every dark hour of our national life, a leadership of frankness and vigor has met with that understanding and support of the people themselves, which is essential to victory and i am convinced that you will again give that support to leadership in these critical days. in such a spirit on my part and on yours, we face our common difficulties. they concern, thank god, only material things.--by franklin d. roosevelt
译文：
让我来表明我坚定的信念：我们不得不害怕的其实就是害怕本身--一种莫名奇妙的、丧失理智的、毫无根据的恐惧。它把人们转退为进所需要的种种努力化为泡影。但凡在我国生活阴云密布的时刻，坦率而有活力的领导都得到过人民的理解和支持，从而为胜利准备了不可缺少的必要条件。我相信，在目前危机的时刻，大家会再次给与同样的支持。我和你们都要以这种精神来共同面对困难。感谢上帝，这些困难只是物质方面的。--[美]弗兰克林·罗斯福
七、in this symposium, better is it to only sit in silence. to express one's feelings as the end draws near is too intimate a task. that i would mention only one thought that comes to me as a listener-in: the riders in a race do not stop short when they reach the goal, there is a little finishing canter before coming to a standstill, there is time to hear the kind voice of friends, and to say to oneself, the work is done. but just as one says that, the answer comes, the race is over, but the work never is done while the power to work remains. the canter that brings you to a standstill need not be only coming to rest; it cannot be while you still live. but to live is to function, that is all there is in living. so i end with a land from a latin voice: death, death, clutches my ear, and says, live, i am coming.--by oliver wendell holmes
Life is full of confusing and disordering Particular time,a particular location,Do the arranged thing of ten million time in the brain,Step by step ,the life is hard to avoid delicacy and stiffness No enthusiasm forever,No unexpected happening of surprising and pleasing So,only silently ask myself in mind Next happiness,when will come?
人生的纷纷扰扰,杂杂乱乱,在一个特定的时间,特定的地点,做脑海中安排了千万遍的事,一步一骤,人生难免精致,却也死板,永远没有激情,没有意料之外的惊喜.于是,也只有在心里默默地问：下一班幸福,几点开?
Dark light,just light each other.The responsibility that you and my shoulders take together,the such as one dust covers up.Afraid only afraid the light is suddenly put out in theendless dark night and Countless loneliness
暗黄的灯光,仅仅也只能照射过彼此.你、我肩上共同担当的责任,犹如一片灰尘遮掩.怕只怕灯丝的突然熄灭在这无尽的黑夜.数不尽的孤单
Always insisting.Use iron scoop is too cold; Use porcelain scoop is too weak; A wood scoop,engraved veins safely,engraved sky’s wasteland and glebe’s old.Just as happiness born in the years,not insolent,the every act and move blooms quietly
一直坚持着.用铁勺太冰冷;用瓷勺又太脆弱; 一只只木勺,刻出了纹理安然,刻出了天荒地老.一如岁月中隐忍着的幸福,不张狂,举手投足间悄然绽放
Then the wandering soul wild crane stands still the memory river Listen to whistle play tightly ring slowly,Water rises a ship to go medium long things of the past.Wait for a ship’s person Wait for one and other,But hesitate always should ascend which ship Missed Had to consign the hope to next time,Finally what to wait for until has no boats and ships to come and go,Sunset west .
再孤魂野鹤的伫立记忆河头,听着哨子的紧奏慢响,水涨船行中的悠悠往事.等船的人儿,等了一班又一班,却始终犹豫着该登哪一只.错过的,只好把希望寄托到了下一回,终究等到的是没有船只的过往,日落西头 .
译文：
此刻，沉默是金。要在生命即将完结之时表达个人感受并非易事。但我只是想谈谈作为一名倾听者的看法。骑士们并非一到终点就立刻止步。他们继续缓步向前，倾听朋友们的欢呼。他们虽然告诉自己行程已经结束了。正如人们所说结果出来了,比赛结束了。但只要动力仍在，人生之旅就尚未结束。终点之后的慢跑并非停止不前，因为活着便不能如此。活着就要有所作为，这才是生命的真谛。最后谨以一句古拉丁格言与各位共勉：死神不止，奋斗不止。 --[美]奥利佛·文德尔·荷默斯
八、the grandest of these ideals is an unfolding american promise that everyone belongs, that everyone deserves a chance that no insignificant person was ever born. americans are called to enact this promise in our lives and in our laws. and though our nation has sometimes halted, and sometimes delayed, we must follow no other course. through much of the last century, america's faith in freedom and democracy was a rock in a raging sea. now it is a seed upon the wind, taking root in many nations. our democratic faith is more than the creed of our country, it is the inborn hope of our humanity, an ideal we carry but do not own, a trust we bear and pass along. and even after nearly 225 years, we have a long way yet to travel. --by george w.bush
译文：
这些理想中最伟大的是正在慢慢实现的美国的承诺，这就是：每个人都有自身的价值，每个人都有成功的机会，每个人天生都会有所作为的'。美国人民肩负着一种使命，那就是要竭力将这个诺言变成生活中和法律上的现实。虽然我们的国家过去在追求实现这个承诺的途中停滞不前甚至倒退，但我们仍将坚定不移地完成这一使命。在上个世纪的大部分时间里，美国自由民主的信念犹如汹涌大海中的岩石。现在它更像风中的种子，把自由带给每个民族。在我们的国家，民主不仅仅是一种信念，而是全人类的希望;民主，我们不会独占，而会竭力让大家分享;民主，我们将铭记于心并且不断传播。225年过去了，我们仍有很长的路要走。
In my view, whatever difficulty or situation we are confronted with, those who have the X are more likely to have a high happiness index and more chances to succeed. In sum, it is no exaggeration to say that placing a high value on cultivating X will yield huge returns.
在我看来,无论我们面对困难或情况，有X 的人更有可能有一个高的幸福指数和更多成功的机会。总之,毫不夸张地说,高度重视培养X 将产生巨大的回报。
What a compelling and eye-catching drawing it is. Simple as the picture is, the author intends to convey much more complicated and profound meaning than what we may sense at the first glance. A distinctly clear message is revealed in this picture that X is very important。
多么引人注目的吸引人的图画啊, 虽然图片很简单，但是作者想要传达给我们的是比我们第一眼看到的更复杂、更深刻的含义。在这张图中，一个明显的信息被揭露，那就是X 很重要。
Chris Carlson had been out of the U.S. Army (离开美国陆军，退伍，复员，英语可以简单地用(get) out of the army就可以表达)for two years and was working at Costco in California(这说明他目前只是个平民) when he received notice that he was being called back into service(接到命令：召回入伍。was being called back into service，就是召回(入伍)，等于was recalled into active duty,或was called back into active duty).
The 24-year-old is one of thousands of Soldiers and Marines(海军陆战队) who have been deployed(军事部署。有一点需要说明的是：一个退伍军人被召回不等于被deployed，也就是不一定就上战场，这是recall to active duty和deploy的区别) to Iraq under a policy that allows military leaders to recall troops(还是召回的又一个说法) who have left the service(就是get out of the service，指military service军队服役) but still have time left on their contract(在他们的服役合同上依然还有剩余的服役时间。这点可能就需要对美国的“义务兵制度”要有所了解了。美国青年是“义务兵制”，每个人都有8年的服役义务。跟读大学一样，不一定像中国那样，要连续四年读完，可以分段完成。所以，美国的前军人“召回”，与其说是热情，不如说是尽本份。所以，很难想像他们能喊出中国军人“若有战，召必回”那样豪迈的语言来。).
“I thought it was crazy,” said Carlson, (Carlson说：我觉得这种召回简直就是神经病)who has found himself protecting convoys (护卫美国军车车队)on Iraq's dangerous roads as part of a New Jersey National Guard unit. “Never in a million years did I think they would call me back(从来没想过他们会发出召回令).”
好，剩下的英语我们就不一一读完了。
我们此刻姑且不讨论“若有战，召必回”的英语怎么说，至少，我们知道世界各国军队在战时都会做同样的一件事情，这就是：recall a retired soldier into active duty or service.
那你想有能力跟别人谈论谈论什么是recall to active duty呀?
Well I know that means a retired soldier or a former soldier will return or go back or is called back into active military service before being deployed for combats.
Or we will say after a soldier gets out of the military, the military can mobilize and call him back into active duty or active service
最后一点，active duty，那么，什么是active duty呢?What is active duty?
我们再来练习练习口语表达吧，不要来来回回就只知道说一个英语短语：recall into active duty.
Well when we say a soldier is on active duty, that means you will serve 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in the military. It is just like working a full-time job. You work 8 hours a day, and five days a week.
记住，这里用serve一词，叫做to serve 24 hours a day
好了，具备了这些“语料谈资”，有了“英语体验在先”，下次当“召回”这个话题再次出现的时候，你至少可以说：这个话题或表达我曾经有过大量的英语体验(在那种语言环境中体验过)，而不是简简单单地从中文体验角度学过recall into active duty这个英语单词。
最后，至于中国前军人那句具有中国特色的铿锵有力的“若有战，召必回”英语怎么说呢?我想我会这么大概的去表达：
I will definitely show up at a recall.
当然，这只是对“志愿兵”而言，如果是未尽完“服役义务”的“义务兵”，就别跟着喊了：你是必须“回”的!
