John Lewis, congressman and civil rights leader
约翰·刘易斯(John Lewis),国会议员、民权领袖
“I saw those signs that said ‘white men,’ ‘colored men,’ ‘white women,’ ‘colored women,’ ‘white waiting,’ ‘colored waiting.’ I would come home and ask my mother, my father, my grandparents, my great-grandparents, ‘Why?’ They would say: ‘That’s the way it is. Don’t get in the way. Don’t get in trouble.’ ...
“我见过那些标牌,上面写着‘白人男性’,‘有色男性’,‘白人女性’,‘有色女性’,‘白人等候区’和‘有色人等候区’。回家后,我问我的母亲、父亲、祖父母和曾祖父母,‘为什么要这样区分?’他们总是说:‘事情就是这样。不要碍事。不要惹麻烦。’……
“In 1957, I met Rosa Parks at the age of 17. In 1958, at the age of 18, I met Martin Luther King Jr., and these two individuals inspired me to get in the way, to get in trouble. So I come here to say to you this morning, on this beautiful campus, with your great education, you must find a way to get in the way. You must find a way to get in trouble — good trouble, necessary trouble.”
“1957年,17岁的我遇到了罗莎·帕克斯(Rosa Parks)。18岁那年,我遇到了马丁·路德·金(Martin Luther King Jr.),这两个人鼓励我要敢于碍事,敢于惹麻烦。所以,我今天早上来到这里,是想对你们说,你们已经在这个美丽的校园接受了一流教育,你们肯定找到了一种碍事的方式,一种惹麻烦的方式——好的、有必要的麻烦。”
