为自由而战斗（《大独裁者》结尾演讲词）

"I'm sorry but I don't want to be an Emperor. That's not my business. I don't want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone if possible - Jew Gentile - black man - white.

遗憾得很，我并不想当皇帝，那不是我干的行当。我既不想统治任何人，也不想征服任何人。如果可能的话，我倒挺想帮助任何人，不论是犹太人还是非犹太人，是黑种人还是白种人。

We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other's happiness - not by each other's misery. We don't want to hate and despise one another. In this world there's room for everyone and the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone.

我们都要互相帮助。做人就是应当如此。我们要把生活建筑在别人的幸福上，而不是建筑在别人的痛苦上。我们不要彼此仇恨，互相鄙视。这个世界上有足够的地方让所有的人生活，大地是富饶的，是可以使每一个人都丰衣足食的。

The way of life can be free and beautiful but we have lost the way. Greed has poisoned men's souls - has barricaded the world with hate - has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical; our cleverness hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery we need humanity. More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities life will be violent and all will be lost.

生活的道路可以是自由的，美丽的，只可惜我们迷失了方向。贪婪毒化了人的灵魂，在全世界筑起仇恨的壁垒，强迫我们踏着正步走向苦难，进行屠杀。我们发展了进步，但是我们隔离了自己。机器是应当创造财富的，但它们反而给我们带来了穷困。我们有了知识，反而看破一切；我们学得聪明乖巧了，反而变得冷酷无情了。我们头脑用得太多了，感情用得太少了。我们更需要的不是机器，而是人性。我们更需要的不是聪明乖巧，而是仁慈、温情。缺少了这些东西，人生就会变得凶暴，一切也都完了。

The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together. The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in man - cries for universal brotherhood - for the unity of us all. Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world - millions of despairing men women and little children - victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people. To those who can hear me I say: 'Do not despair.' The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed - the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass and dictators die and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die liberty will never perish.

飞机和无线电缩短了我们之间的距离。这些东西的性质，本身就是为了发挥人类的优良品质，要求全世界的人彼此友爱，要求我们大家互相团结。现在的世界上就有千百万人听到我的声音——千百万失望的男人、女人、小孩——他们都是一个制度下的受害者，这个制度使人们受尽折磨，把无辜者投入监狱。我要向那些听得见我讲话的人说：“不要绝望呀！”我们现在受到苦难，这只是因为那些害怕人类进步的人在即将消逝之前发泄他们的怨毒，满足他们的贪婪。这些人的仇恨会消逝的，独裁者会死亡的，他们从人民那里夺去的权力会重新回到人民手中的。只要我们不怕死，自由是永远不会消失的。

Soldiers! Don't give yourselves to brutes - men who despise you and enslave you - who regiment your lives - tell you what to do - what to think and what to feel! Who drill you - diet you - treat you like cattle use you as cannon fodder. Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men - machine men with machine minds and machine hearts! You are not machines! You are not cattle! You are men! You have the love of humanity in your hearts. You don't hate only the unloved hate - the unloved and the unnatural!

战士们！你们别为那些野兽去卖命呀——他们鄙视你们——奴役你们——他们统治你们——吩咐你们应该做什么——应当想什么，应该怀抱什么样的感情！他们强迫你们去操练——限定你们的伙食——把你们当牲口，用你们当炮灰。你们别去受这些丧失了理性的人摆布了——他们都是一伙机器人，长的是机器人的脑袋，有的是机器人的心肝！可是你们不是机器！你们是人！你们心里有着人类的爱！不要仇恨呀！只有那些得不到爱的人才仇恨别人——那些得不到爱和丧失了理性的人才仇恨别人！

Soldiers! Don't fight for slavery! Fight for liberty! In the seventeenth chapter of St Luke it is written the kingdom of God is within man not one man nor a group of men but in all men! In you! You the people have the power - the power to create machines. The power to create happiness! You the people have the power to make this life free and beautiful - to make this life a wonderful adventure. Then in the name of democracy - let us use that power - let us all unite. Let us fight for a new world - a decent world that will give men a chance to work - that will give youth a future and old age a security.

战士们！不要为奴役而战斗！要为自由而战斗！《路加福音》第十七章里写着：“神的国就在人的心里。”——不是在一个人或者一群人的心里，而是在所有人的心里！在你们的心里！你们人民有力量——有创造机器的力量，有创造幸福的力量！你们人民有力量建立起自己美好的生活——使生活富有意义。那么，为了民主，就让我们使出力量来吧，就让我们团结一起吧；就让我们进行战斗，建设一个新的世界——一个美好的世界，它将使每一个人都有工作的机会——它将使青年人都有光明的前途，老年人都过安定的生活。

By the promise of these things brutes have risen to power. But they lie! They do not fulfil that promise. They never will! Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people. Now let us fight to fulfil that promise! Let us fight to free the world - to do away with national barriers - to do away with greed with hate and intolerance. Let us fight for a world of reason - a world where science and progress will lead to all men's happiness. Soldiers in the name of democracy let us unite!

那些野兽也就是用这些诺言窃取了权力。但是，他们是说谎！他们从来不去履行他们的诺言。他们永远不会履行他们的诺言！独裁者自己享有自由，但是他们使人民沦为奴隶。现在就让我们进行斗争，为了解放全世界，为了消除国家的壁垒，为了消除贪婪、仇恨、顽固。让我们进行斗争，为了建立一个理智的世界——在那个世界上，科学与进步将使我们所有人获得幸福。战士们，为了民主，让我们团结在一起！

Hannah can you hear me? Wherever you are look up Hannah. The clouds are lifting! The sun is breaking through! We are coming out of the darkness into the light. We are coming into a new world - a kindlier world where men will rise above their hate their greed and their brutality. Look up Hannah! The soul of man has been given wings and at last he is beginning to fly. He is flying into the rainbow - into the light of hope into the future the glorious future that belongs to you to me and to all of us. Look up Hannah... look up!"

哈娜，你听见我在说什么吗？不管你在哪里，你抬起头来看呀！抬起头来看呀，哈娜！乌云正在消散！阳光照射进来！我们正在离开黑暗，进入光明！我们正在进入一个新的世界—一个更可爱的世界，那里的人将克服他们的贪婪，他们的仇恨，他们的残忍。抬起头来看哪，哈娜！人的灵魂已经长了翅膀，他们终于要振翅飞翔了。他们飞到了霓虹里——飞到了希望的光辉里。抬起头来看呀，哈娜！抬起头来看呀！
