| 66 | anti-Chinese immigration in the history of the United States. | 美国历史上的反华移民. |

| 68 | in particular have to do with apocalypse? | 尤其是和启示录有关? |
| 69 | That seems like a very strange juxtaposition. | 这似乎是一个非常奇怪的并列。 |
| 70 | And what does she mean by apocalypse? | 她是什么意思 启示录? |

| 72 | There's the broader popular meaning and then a narrower historical meaning. | 有较广的流行意义,然后是较窄的历史意义. |

| 75 | Sometimes this means a glorious entry into a new place, a heavenly utopia. | 有时这意味着光荣的进入一个新地方,天堂乌托邦. |

| 83 | prophet, a seer, is able to see a separate world, is able to ascend into the heavens | 先知,一个先知,能够看见一个单独的世界,能够升入天空 |

| 86 | And this is particularly, I'm thinking, of course, of the book of Revelation, the last | 我当然想到了《启示录》 最后一本 |
| 87 | book of the New Testament, which is what my focus will be on today in the relation of | 新约的书,这是我今天关注的 |
| 88 | that to U.S. | 给美国。 |
| 89 | leaders thinking and also general population in America, thinking about immigration in | 美国的领袖们 思考移民问题 |
| 90 | a particular conception of the United States and of America. | 对美国和美利坚合众国的特定概念。 |
| 91 | So my argument is that Revelation in particular has shaped this conception and | 所以我的论点是 启示 特别 形成了这个概念和 |
| 92 | ideation of America from its discovery to the present and this conception of America | 美国从发现到现在和这个概念 |
| 93 | as that apocalyptic destination has then in turn shaped U.S. | 因为那个末日的目的地 反过来又塑造了美国 |

| 97 | leaders and its population have adopted and also apocalyptic attitude towards who gets | 领导人及其人民对谁得到、谁得到、谁得到、谁得到、谁得到、谁得到、谁获得、谁得到、谁得到、谁得到、谁得到、谁得到、谁得到、谁得到、谁得到、谁得到、谁得到、谁得到、谁得到、谁得到、谁得到、谁得到、谁得到、谁得到、谁得到、谁得到、谁得到、谁得到、谁得到、谁得到、谁得到、谁得到、谁得到、谁得到、谁得到、谁得到、谁得到、谁得到、谁得到、谁得到、谁得到、谁得到、谁得到、谁得到、谁得到、谁得到、谁得到、谁得到、谁得到、谁得到、谁得到、谁得到、谁得到、谁得到、谁得到、谁得到、谁得到、谁得到、谁得到、谁得到、谁得到、谁得到 |
| 98 | to come in and who needs to be kept out at the same time. | 他们需要同时被拒之门外。 |
| 99 | So that is part and parcel of that metaphorical thinking. | 因此,这是这种隐喻思维的一部分。 |
| 100 | So considering these similar images, we have both, in fact, referencing whether directly, | 因此,考虑到这些相似的图像, 我们两个,事实上, 引用是否直接, |
| 101 | as we see in the Greek icon on the left or indirectly at the poster on the right, both | 我们从左边的希腊图标 或从右边的海报上间接看到 |
| 102 | referencing the New Jerusalem. | 参考新耶路撒冷. |
| 103 | So this is a heavenly city referenced in Revelation, and it's this notion | 因此,这是一个天堂城市 引用在启示, 这是这个概念 |
| 104 | of America as a shining city on the Hill coming from this kind of ideation of the U.S. | 美国是山上一个光辉的城市 从美国这种想法而来 |
| 105 | and New Jerusalem, and it's first written, so far as I know, by John Winthrop in 1630. | 和新耶路撒冷,它的第一个写, 据我所知, 约翰温斯罗普在1630年。 |
| 106 | So this is a famous sermon encouraging the Puritans who are coming towards America | 因此,这是一个著名的布道,鼓励 清教徒来美国 |
| 107 | in the 17th century to be a shining moral example because America is going to be a | 在17世纪成为一个光辉的道德榜样 因为美国将成为一个 |
| 108 | shining city on the Hill. | 闪耀的城市在山上。 |
| 109 | So Winthrop here in the sermon is quoting the Bible. | 所以Winthrop在布道时引用了圣经 |
| 110 | It's not from Revelation. | 非从启示. |
| 111 | It's from the Gospel of Matthew, Chapter five. | 出自"马太福音"第五章. |
| 112 | But in that text, the city on a hill is definitely Jerusalem. | 但在该文本中,一座山上的城市肯定是耶路撒冷。 |
| 113 | And Winthrop is also referencing this understanding that the Puritan leaders also had of | 温斯罗普也引用了 清教徒领袖们对 |
| 114 | establishing a New Jerusalem in this new world that they're arriving at. | 在他们即将到达的新世界里 建立一个新的耶路撒冷 |
| 115 | So their mission was to establish God's heavenly city on Earth, right, in God's country | 所以他们的任务是在地球上建立上帝的天国 |
| 116 | and God's city, in particular, as the New Jerusalem. | 和上帝的城市,特别是作为新耶路撒冷。 |
| 117 | And this kind of thinking and ideation would be consistent throughout U.S. | 这种想法和想法在美国各地是一致的。 |
| 118 | history and understanding of American exceptionalism. | 历史与对美国例外主义的理解. |
| 119 | And the specific language that Winthrop uses is picked up again, the U.S. | 而温斯罗普使用的具体语言再次被拾起,即美国. |
| 120 | as a shining city on the Hill, famously by John F. | 作为山上的光辉城市,由约翰·F(John F. |
| 121 | Kennedy in 1961 as president-elect in a speech to the nation, again, emphasizing the U.S. | 1961年肯尼迪作为当选总统,在向全国发表演说,再次强调美国. |
| 122 | as exceptional, as heavenly and as heaven on Earth or striving to be so. | 与众不同,与天同在,与天同在,或努力如此。 |
| 123 | But the person, the political leader who uses this phrase shining city on the Hill | 但那个用这个词 在山上闪耀的城市的人 政治领袖 |
| 124 | the most, over 20 times in political speeches, and the most famously, I would have to say, | 在政治演讲中最多,20多次, 最著名的,我不得不说, |
| 125 | is Ronald Reagan. | 是罗纳德·里根 |
| 126 | So I am going to read you, here is Ronald Reagan as an apocalyptic seer. | 所以,我要读你, 这是罗纳德·里根 作为一个启示录的见证人。 |
| 127 | I'm going to read to you a text of Reagan's farewell speech, which he gave in 1989 as he's | 我读一下里根的告别演说 他1989年的演讲 |
| 128 | leaving his two-term presidency. | 离开两届总统任期。 |
| 129 | And this is his most famous use of the phrase shining city on a hill. | 这是他最著名的用词 在山上闪耀的城市。 |
| 130 | And I will compare it then to the text found in Revelation, Chapter 21. | 然后,我将把它与载于《启示录》第21章的案文进行比较。 |
| 131 | So listen carefully to it. | 故仔细听. |
| 132 | In it, Reagan really positions himself as the seer, as the prophetic witness of the | 在它里,里根真正把自己定位为 旁观者,作为先知见证 |
| 133 | Book of Revelation describing what he sees. | 记述他所见的启示录。 |
| 134 | So let me read that text to you. | 让我读给你听 |
| 135 | I've spoken of the shining city all my political life, but I don't know if I ever quite | 我整个政治生活都提到这个光辉的城市, 但我不知道我是否真的 |
| 136 | communicated what I saw when I said it. | 传达我说的话时所看到的 |
| 137 | But in my mind, it was a tall, proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, wind | 但在我的脑海中,它是一个高大,骄傲的城市 建立在比海洋更坚固的岩石上,风 |
| 138 | It was a city that slept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds, living in | 这是一个睡着的城市,上帝流血, 和所有的人,住在 |
| 139 | harmony and peace, a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity. | 和谐与和平,一个拥有自由港的城市,充满了商业和创造力。 |
| 140 | If there had to be city walls, the walls had doors, and the doors were open to anyone | 如果必须有城墙, 城墙有门, 门对任何人开放 |
| 141 | with the will and the heart to get here. | 带着意志和心脏来到这里。 |
| 142 | And that's how I saw it and see it still. | 这就是我如何看待它,并看到它静止。 |
| 143 | Again, Reagan sounds like this ancient apocalyptic seer. | 再次,里根听起来像 这个古老的启示录。 |
| 144 | He has a vision, right? | 他有一个视觉,对不对? |
| 145 | I've spoken, I see it. | 我说话了 我看到了 |
| 146 | This is how I see it. | 这就是我的看法。 |
| 147 | He sees the shining city. | 他看到了光辉的城市。 |
| 148 | He sees it on this strong foundation. | 他看到它在这个牢固的基础。 |
| 149 | And he understands the city on the hill, the U.S., as this apocalyptic utopia. | 他理解山上的城市,美国, 是一个末日的乌托邦。 |
| 150 | And he's plucking imagery directly from Revelation chapter 21, which describes the | 他直接从《启示录》第21章中提取图像,其中描述了 |
| 151 | New Jerusalem on a firm foundation filled with people and a diverse group of people | 新耶路撒冷在牢固的基础之上,充满了人民和不同群体 |
| 152 | here, Reagan references, teeming with all kinds, right? | 这里,里根的参考文献, 充满各种各样的,对不对? |
| 153 | And bringing tribute and wealth and with walls, but with doors, Reagan says, that are | 并带来贡品和财富 和墙壁, 但有门,里根说,这是 |
| 154 | open. | 打开 |
| 155 | So compare this. | 比较一下 |
| 156 | Let me read to you then the ancient text of Revelation so you can hear the echoes | 让我念给你听 古老的启示录的文字 这样你就能听到回声 |
| 157 | in Reagan's speech. | 在里根的演讲。 |
| 158 | Revelation 21 in the description of the New Jerusalem says, I saw a new heaven and | 启示录21在描述 新耶路撒冷说, 我看到一个新的天堂, |
| 159 | a new earth. | 一个新的地球。 |
| 160 | It has the glory of God and irradiance like a very rare jewel, like Jasper clear as | 它拥有上帝的荣耀和光泽 就像一个非常稀有的珠宝 就像贾斯珀 |
| 161 | crystal. | 结晶。 |
| 162 | It has a great high wall with 12 gates and the wall of the city has 12 foundations. | 其高墙有12座城门,城墙有12座地基. |
| 163 | And on them are the 12 names of the 12 apostles of the Lamb. | 他们上面有羔羊十二个使徒的十二个名字. |
| 164 | The nations will walk by its light and the kings of earth will bring their glory into | 诸国将乘光而行 大地诸王将带来荣耀 |
| 165 | it. | 这个 |
| 166 | Its gates will never be shut by day and there will be no night there. | 它的城门不会在白天关闭 那里不会有黑夜 |
| 167 | People will bring into it the glory and the honor of the nations. | 人民将带来国家的荣耀和荣誉。 |
| 168 | So you hear the ways that Reagan has borrowed from this description. | 你听到里根从这个描述中借来的方法了 |
| 169 | So what's the most interesting to me about Reagan's speech is that he is using this | 我对里根的演讲最感兴趣的是 他正在用这个 |
| 170 | heavenly city imagery to talk about immigration. | 天城影像谈移民. |
| 171 | He sounds very pro-immigration. | 他听起来非常支持移民 |
| 172 | He's describing the city with open doors, the symbol of hospitality, and he wants | 他用敞开的大门来描述这座城市 象征着热情的款待 |
| 173 | people from everywhere, right? | 到处都是人,对吧? |
| 174 | The nations, as it's described in Revelation, to come to enrich and to be creative in the | 正如《启示录》中所描述的,各国将来丰富和创造 |
| 175 | United States. | 美国。 |
| 176 | And he's using Revelation to cast a vision for U.S. | 他利用启示录 给美国投下远见 |
| 177 | immigration. | 移民问题。 |
| 178 | So listen to the next part of Reagan's speech, the very next section of his farewell | 听里根接下来的演讲 下一节他的告别 |
| 179 | speech. | 说话 |
| 180 | He says, after 200 years, two centuries, she still stands strong and true on the | 他说,200年后,两个世纪后, 她仍然坚固和真实的在 |
| 181 | granite ridge, and her glow has held steady no matter what storm, and she's still a | 花岗岩山脊 无论暴风雨如何 她的光芒都保持平稳 |
| 182 | beacon, still a magnet for all who must have freedom, for all the pilgrims from all | 灯塔,对于所有必须自由的人来说, 对于所有朝圣者来说,仍然是磁铁 |
| 183 | the lost places who are hurtling through the darkness toward home. | 那些迷路的地方 正在黑暗中伤害着他们 |
| 184 | So Reagan is really reusing Puritan understanding and ideation. | 所以里根真的在重新使用清教徒的理解和思想. |
| 185 | He's referencing that here through the use of pilgrims, right? | 他通过使用朝圣者来引用,对吧? |
| 186 | Claiming U.S. as a beacon and a haven for the saints. | 自称美国是圣人信标和避风港. |
| 187 | These are the pilgrims from all the lost places, alluding to the Puritans. | 这些是所有迷路地方的朝圣者,向清教徒示爱。 |
| 188 | And there's an implied Christian saintliness of these imagined travelers and the | 这些想象中的旅行者和 |
| 189 | designation, identification of other countries as lost places. | 指定、识别其他国家为失地。 |
| 190 | They're also hurtling through the darkness in this apocalyptic, otherworldly dimension. | 他们也在黑暗中挣扎着 这个世界末日的维度 |
| 191 | And Reagan implies that U.S. can be a home for these particular travelers. | 而里根暗示美国可以成为这些特殊旅行者的家. |
| 192 | So the question that I ask is, who are welcomed as the travelers and who are not? | 所以,我问的问题是,谁作为旅行者受到欢迎,谁不是? |
| 193 | To whom can the U.S. be an apocalyptic home? | 对谁来说,美国能成为一个末日的家园? |
| 194 | So I ask these questions because the image of America as a city, as the New Jerusalem, | 我问这些问题是因为美国作为一个城市,作为新耶路撒冷的形象, |
| 195 | is ultimately problematic and exclusionary. | 归根结底是问题和排斥性的。 |
| 196 | The vision takes this vast land, a land that was already actually inhabited by | 这个愿景占据了这片广阔的土地 这片土地实际上已经有人居住 |
| 197 | thousands of indigenous people, and erases them in their past, and then casts this vision | 成千上万的土著人民, 并抹去他们的过去, |
| 198 | of a three million square mile country, shrinking it into a city, right? | 300万平方英里的国家, 缩小它成为一个城市,对不对? |
| 199 | As cities historically have been, cities being places of refuge with a wall to | 正如历史上的城市一样,城市是通往 |
| 200 | protect those who are inside and protecting them from what? | 保护里面的人并保护他们不受什么影响? |
| 201 | Protecting them from threat from the outside. | 保护他们免受外界的威胁 |
| 202 | And these threats are then understood as trying to infiltrate and trying to invade. | 然后这些威胁被理解为试图渗透和入侵. |
| 203 | So then who are these threats? | 那么这些威胁是谁? |
| 204 | So once the English and European colonialists had settled in America, | 因此,一旦英国和欧洲殖民者 定居在美国, |
| 205 | they then identified themselves as natives, right? | 然后他们自称是本地人,对吧? |
| 206 | Became nativists in understanding themselves as those who belong, | 成为自以为是的鼻祖 |
| 207 | and constructing a white European identity as the quintessential American citizen. | 作为典型的美国公民 建立欧洲白人身份 |
| 208 | So then those who are not, who do not belong to this white identity, | 那么那些不属于这个白人身份的人 |
| 209 | could be those who are identified as those who must be kept outside, right? | 可能是那些被确认为必须留在外面的人,对吧? |
| 210 | The threat who are outside and at the city walls, who must be excluded. | 城墙内外的威胁必须排除。 |

| 307 | a celestial horde hovering above in Canada | 加拿大上空的天体群 |
| 308 | waiting to invade the United States. | 等着入侵美国 |

| 311 | of China as the heavenly kingdom. | 以中国为天国. |
| 312 | But celestials are then become a mocking ironic slur | 但天体却成了嘲讽的讽刺 |

| 326 | and the identification of Chinese people with filthiness, | 和污秽的中国人的身份, |
| 327 | we have this particular poison advertisement | 我们有特别的毒药广告 |

| 330 | But, and it says they must go referring to the pests, | 但是,它说他们必须去 提到害虫, |

| 334 | And the China man is depicted as eating a rat, | 那个中国人被描绘成吃老鼠 |
| 335 | doing something that's disgusting and abominable | 做一些恶心和讨厌的事 |

| 337 | as something that is completely unassimilable | 作为完全不可同化的东西 |
| 338 | to American identity and American society. | 给美国的身份和美国社会 |
| 339 | So there's an equation of not belonging, right, | 所以有一个公式 不属于,正确的, |
| 340 | to filth and dirtiness and labeling Chinese immigrants | 污秽和污秽的中国移民 |
| 341 | in this particular and disgusting way. | 以这种特别和恶心的方式。 |
| 342 | That's continuing. | 还在继续 |
| 343 | And related to that, of course, is also disease. | 当然,与此相关的是疾病。 |
| 344 | So this is from 1882, San Francisco's news magazine, | 这是1882年的旧金山新闻杂志 |
| 345 | The Wasp. | 黄蜂 |
| 346 | And here we have the ghosts or figures haunting | 我们这里有鬼魂或人物 |
| 347 | over San Francisco of malaria, smallpox, and leprosy. | 天花和麻风病 |

| 357 | And then here, of course, is something much more recent from 2020. | 当然,这里是2020年更近期的。 |

| 360 | and racial identified virus and the identification | 和种族识别的病毒和识别 |
| 361 | of Chinese peoples as absolutely disgusting. | 中国人民绝对令人厌恶。 |
| 362 | So this is reminiscent of the rough on rats advertisement, right, | 这让人想起了老鼠广告上的粗糙 |
| 363 | which the Chinese will eat anything. | 中国人什么都吃 |
| 364 | And so therefore they are completely foreign and unassimilable | 因此,他们是完全 外国和不可同化的 |
| 365 | and deserving and prone to the disease that they suffer from. | 值得和容易感染他们所患的疾病。 |
| 366 | And so again, this rhetoric is continued and renewed | 再说一遍,这种言辞是继续和延续的 |
| 367 | in anti-Chinese rhetoric and also anti-Chinese immigration | 在反华言论和反华移民中 |
| 368 | understanding of who belongs, who doesn't belong, | 了解谁属于谁,谁不属于, |

| 372 | as prone to disease or suffering from plague, | 容易生病或患瘟疫, |
| 373 | but the depiction of the Chinese as a plague themselves, right, | 但将中国人描绘成瘟疫,对吗? |
| 374 | so as taking over the land. | 以占领土地。 |
| 375 | And this you will remember from Revelation chapter 9, | 你会记得《启示录》第9章 |
| 376 | when I read to you almost exactly that particular description | 当我读给你听时 几乎就是那个描述 |

| 389 | the identification of outsiders as fornicators, | 以私通者的身份, |
| 390 | those who are sexually immoral, sexually deviant. | 那些性不道德 性变态的人 |
| 391 | This is also part and parcel of depictions of Chinese immigrants | 这也是中国移民形象的一部分 |

| 393 | 电影明星Anna Mae Wong被描绘成龙女 | |

| 395 | in which she is sexualized in the clothes she's wearing. | 在她穿的衣服中,她被性化了。 |
| 396 | Remember, this is 1931, so this is not just your regular costume, | 记住,这是1931年, 所以这不仅仅是你的常规服装, |

| 401 | that she hides something behind or beneath the surface, | 她隐藏的东西 后或下表面, |

| 408 | And this final image I want to focus on | 而这个最后的图像 我想专注于 |
| 409 | is a little less direct than those particular labels, | 比这些标签更直接 |
| 410 | but this is a picture of an interrogation of a young boy | 但这是审讯年轻男孩的照片 |
| 411 | at the Angel Island Detention Center. | 在天使岛拘留中心 |
| 412 | And some of these interrogations would last for hours and hours | 有些审讯会持续几个小时 |

| 416 | I'm here and I want to just underline the reliance on records | 我在这里,我想强调 依赖记录 |
| 417 | and record keeping, right? | 和记录保存,对不对? |
| 418 | So to me, and this might seem far-fetched at first, | 因此,对我来说, 这可能会看起来很牵强 起初, |
| 419 | but it echoes the logic of apocalyptic entry | 但它与启示录的逻辑一致 |
| 420 | into the New Jerusalem. | 进入新耶路撒冷。 |
| 421 | So we read upon the descent that there's the judgment of the dead. | 因此,我们读到的下降 死者的判断。 |
| 422 | And what it says is what I like to call the most bureaucratic verse | 上面写着我喜欢称之为最官僚的诗 |

| 427 | in which records must play something in the entry of | 记录必须在输入时播放 |

| 430 | To us, it seems a matter of fact, right? | 对我们来说,这似乎是一个事实,对不对? |
| 431 | Of course, but that's also because it's been a part | 当然,但这也是因为它一直的一部分 |
| 432 | of immigration understanding and logic. | 移民的理解和逻辑。 |
| 433 | And oftentimes there is no logic to the way records are consulted. | 而经常没有逻辑 记录的咨询方式。 |

| 435 | when you have to prove who you are. | 当你必须证明你是谁时 |
| 436 | Now, I'm not going to romanticize immigrants. | 我不会把移民浪漫化 |

| 441 | are in your home village house? | 在你家的村里吗? |
| 442 | Is the kitchen on the south side or on the west side? | 厨房在南边还是西边? |
| 443 | And so they would create these test booklets on their voyage | 然后在旅途中制作这些测试手册 |
| 444 | to America because they knew they would be subjected | 因为他们知道自己会受苦 |
| 445 | to these absurd tests when they got to the detention center. | 当他们来到拘留中心时 做了这些荒谬的测试 |

| 447 | that's going on both in the apocalyptic text | 这都发生在启示录的文字中 |
| 448 | and then also reified and created in the process | 并在此过程中重新形成和创建 |
| 449 | of U.S. immigration in which there's the judgment | 美国移民 里面有判决 |
| 450 | and the reference or the recourse to record keeping | 和记录的参考或手段 |

| 452 | So I'm going to conclude with this slide just to think again | 所以我要用这张幻灯片结束我的想法 |
| 453 | of the people and the families who are part of this, | 属于他们的民众和家属, |
| 454 | who through this rhetoric and through this history | 通过这种言辞和历史 |
| 455 | and this kind of conceptualization of the U.S. | 和这种概念化 美国。 |
| 456 | as a New Jerusalem and as this apocalyptic city | 作为新耶路撒冷和这个末日城市 |
| 457 | has then also led to the exclusion | 也导致了排斥 |

| 477 | to get warmed up with their questions | 热身 与他们的问题 |
| 478 | or they're typing it out or whatever | 或他们打出来什么的 |

| 480 | which is to say, again, I'm quite familiar | 也就是说,我还是很熟悉 |

| 601 | depending on political power and military presence, right? | 取决于政治权力和军事存在,对不对? |

| 603 | I think pinpointing apocalyptic imagery | 我认为,确定 启示录图像 |
| 604 | with Chinese identity in particular | 特别是中国特色 |
| 605 | is that in the US that rhetoric gets really lost | 是在美国,言辞真的失去了 |

| 623 | I would say are all Asians in the United States | 我要说美国所有的亚洲人 |

| 628 | Great, thanks for that question. | 太好了,谢谢你问了这个问题。 |
| 629 | Next we have Li Yishen. | 接下来是李依申 |

| 631 | For those of us such as me who aren't as familiar | 对于我这样的不熟悉的人来说 |
| 632 | with the Christian scripture, | 以基督教经典盟誓, |
| 633 | could you help us explain a little more | 你能帮我们解释一下吗? |
| 634 | this idea of apocalypse? | 这个启示录的想法? |
| 635 | For example, does it guide what most Christian regard | 例如,它是否指导了大多数基督教徒的看法 |
| 636 | as the final destination of ideals? | 作为理想的最终目的地? |
| 637 | So I'm partly asking this question | 所以我在问这个问题 |
| 638 | because a lot of the rhetorics you hear today | 因为今天你听到的很多言论 |
| 639 | from some of the most anti-immigrant politicians | 从一些最反移民的政客那里 |
| 640 | that claim to be solid Christians | 自称是坚定的基督徒 |

| 642 | but don't seem to actually embrace other Christian values | 但似乎没有真正接受其他基督教价值观 |
| 643 | such as caring for people. | 比如关心别人 |
| 644 | Yeah, so I would say apocalypse | 是啊,所以我会说启示录 |
| 645 | and the revelation of John in particular | 特别是约翰的启示 |
| 646 | is highly problematic for Christian faith | 对基督教信仰来说是很大的问题 |
| 647 | for several reasons. | 有几个原因。 |
| 648 | It is part of the Christian canon | 这是基督教教条的一部分 |
| 649 | and part of the New Testament | 和新约的一部分 |
| 650 | and it's part of a larger tradition | 这是更大的传统的一部分 |
| 651 | of Jewish apocalyptic literature | 犹太末日文学 |
| 652 | that in part has, ironically, | 部分地,讽刺的是, |
| 653 | a very anti-empire, anti-earthly power theme to it. | 一个非常反胚胎, 反地球的力量主题。 |
| 654 | At the same time, it's also highly empirical | 同时,它也具有高度的经验性 |
| 655 | and pro-empire of God. | 并拥护真主。 |
| 656 | So whoever takes over that text | 所以,谁接管的文本 |
| 657 | can make it, manipulate it | 可以做到,可以操纵 |
| 658 | to be supporting the power that they see as God's power. | 支持他们视为上帝的力量 |
| 659 | So in America, in a broad, popular, | 因此,在美国, 在广泛,受欢迎, |
| 660 | maybe evangelical Christian understanding of that book, | 也许福音派基督徒对这本书的理解, |
| 661 | you can use it, and because it's so malleable, | 你可以使用它, 而且因为它是如此可塑, |
| 662 | it's apocalyptic, it's so full of imagery | 它的启示性, 充满了影像 |
| 663 | and it's so slippery and protean in the way you can use it. | 它是如此滑和 原始的方式,你可以使用它。 |
| 664 | It can be shaped so that it supports the power | 它可以被塑造 从而支持力量 |
| 665 | that you want, the idea and the identity | 你想要的, 想法和身份 |
| 666 | that you want to put forward as God's people, God's country. | 你们想成为上帝的子民,上帝的国度 |
| 667 | I think that's one of the major ways | 我想这是主要的方法之一 |
| 668 | that it's been shaped and it's used to explain. | 它的形状 并用来解释。 |
| 669 | So there are people who take it very literally | 因此,有人谁采取非常 字面 |
| 670 | and people who don't, but there are those | 和那些没有,但有那些 |
| 671 | who would use it to predict like clockwork | 用它来预测时钟 |
| 672 | when the end of the world is coming | 当世界末日来临 |
| 673 | and these nations represent | 和这些国家代表 |
| 674 | these particular identities within the book | 书中的这些特殊身份 |
| 675 | and then there are people who see it more symbolically | 然后有人会更象征性地看到它 |
| 676 | or representing different things, | 或代表不同的东西, |
| 677 | everything from hope and faith | 一切来自希望和信仰 |
| 678 | to exclusion and violence, right? | 对排斥和暴力,对不对? |
| 679 | So everything in between. | 所以一切在中间。 |
| 680 | That's part of the problem with dealing | 问题就在这里 |
| 681 | with apocalypticism can be so changeable | 有末日主义 是可以改变的 |
| 682 | and I don't think there's any one essential interpretation | 我觉得没有任何基本的解释 |
| 683 | that's reachable. | 这是可以达到的。 |
| 684 | I mean, I don't know if that's ever reachable, | 我的意思是,我不知道 如果这是永远可以达到, |
| 685 | but especially not for apocalyptic | 尤其对于末日来说 |
| 686 | and so revelation can become this thing and it has. | 因此,启示可以成为 这件事情,它已经。 |
| 687 | And the use of it to talk about disaster | 用它来谈论灾难 |
| 688 | also often comes with the idea that there are those | 也经常有这样的想法: |
| 689 | who deserve it or there are those who are reaping | 谁应该得到它,或 有谁收获 |
| 690 | these particular things. | 这些特殊的东西。 |
| 691 | So it's been used to talk about AIDS epidemic, for example, | 因此,它被用来谈论艾滋病流行,例如, |
| 692 | or disease, immigration. | 或疾病,移民。 |
| 693 | It's been used to talk about natural disasters, | 它被用来谈论自然灾害, |
| 694 | things like that to identify what's happening | 像这样的东西来辨别发生了什么 |

| 696 | and depends on who's interpreting it | 要看谁来解释 |
| 697 | to link which identity with what. | 将哪种身份与什么联系起来。 |
| 698 | So I think that's what I would see as the kind | 所以我觉得这就是我所看到的 |
| 699 | of the major role it's played in popular culture | 在大众文化中扮演的主要角色 |
| 700 | and in Christian popular culture. | 和在基督教流行文化中。 |
| 701 | I mean, I'm speaking very broadly, | 我的意思是,我说话非常广泛, |
| 702 | but in the United States. | 但是在美国 |
| 703 | I hope that answers the question. | 我希望这能回答问题。 |
| 704 | Let's see. | 让我看看。 |

| 707 | Next we have Edith with another question. | 接下来是伊迪丝 另一个问题 |
| 708 | Yeah, I just wanted to slightly challenge something | 是啊,我只是想稍微挑战一下 |
| 709 | that I think you said a minute ago, | 我想你刚才说, |

| 711 | within this apocalyptic kind of vision | 在这个遥远的景象中 |
| 712 | of white supremacy and discrimination. | 白人至上和歧视。 |

| 715 | blacks are still kind of seen as | 黑人仍然被视为 |

| 717 | of public services in the South before that Irish, | 在爱尔兰人之前 南方的公共服务 |
| 718 | you name it. | 说吧 |

| 721 | because you're so far away, | 因为你太远了 |
| 722 | it's perceived as a very distant culture | 它被视为一种非常遥远的文化 |

| 726 | and white Americans answering relief calls | 和白人美国人接救助电话 |

| 729 | in the novels of Pearl Buck, | 在小说"珍珠巴克", |
| 730 | so that you suddenly have these very positive images | 让你突然有了这些非常正面的图像 |

| 815 | And I think that's what's been embraced so far | 我想这就是人们迄今所接受的 |
| 816 | in laws that are enacted, always tied, I think, | 法律颁布,总是捆绑,我想, |
| 817 | to political stance and international relationships. | 政治立场和国际关系。 |
| 818 | So who are we at war at? | 那么我们是在打仗吗? |
| 819 | Who are we not at war at at the time? | 我们当时没有在打仗吗? |
| 820 | Particularly tied to that. | 特别和那个有关 |
| 821 | And then there's this idea of immigrants are great | 然后有这样的想法 移民是伟大的 |
| 822 | because they are innovative and they bring wealth | 因为他们是创新的,是创造财富的。 |
| 823 | and they do all these things. | 他们做所有这些事情。 |
| 824 | It's never that they're just human beings, right? | 他们从来就不是人类,对吧? |
| 825 | So I think Asian immigration in a particular tone | 所以我认为亚洲移民的语气很特别 |
| 826 | always plays into that particular model minority | 总是扮演一个典型的少数 |
| 827 | understanding to justify it rather than simply | 理解其理由而非简单 |
| 828 | human rights and human compassion. | 人权与人的同情心。 |
| 829 | Right, and then there's always has been and always | 对,然后总是有,而且总是 |
| 830 | and continues to be a very patronizing tone, right? | 并且继续是一个非常优雅的语气,对不对? |
| 831 | So even in this idea, I mean, and not just with Asians | 所以即使在这个想法,我的意思是, 不只是与亚洲人 |
| 832 | but in other immigrant groups as well, right? | 但其他的移民群体,对不对? |
| 833 | This idea of a good version of this particular type | 这种特殊类型的好版本的想法 |
| 834 | of immigrant or whatever, right? | 移民什么的,对不对? |

| 837 | exactly who is in this crowd. | 这群人中到底是谁 |
| 838 | And so maybe it is good to sort of define some | 所以也许应该给一些 |
| 839 | of these terms that some of us are more familiar with. | 我们当中有些人比较熟悉的术语。 |
| 840 | So could you also explain just real quickly model minority | 你也可以解释一下吗 很快的模范少数民族 |
| 841 | and what that means and how we're using that term? | 那意味着什么 我们如何使用这个词? |
| 842 | Yeah, so very briefly, I would say model minority | 是啊,那么简单,我要说模式少数 |
| 843 | is a label that's applied to mostly East Asian identity | 这个标签适用于大多数东亚人的身份 |
| 844 | in the United States and elsewhere. | 在美国和其他地方。 |
| 845 | I would say that says this is the kind of minority | 我会说,这是一种少数 |

| 853 | because they care about education unlike Latino immigrants. | 因为他们关心教育 不像拉丁移民。 |
| 854 | So there's this pitting against | 这么说来,这个对手 |
| 855 | but using this model minority myth to identify. | 但利用这个模型 少数神话来识别。 |
| 856 | And it's also quite classist and skin color-based. | 并且它也是相当的阶级主义和以肤色为基础的. |
| 857 | So it's used generally to East Asian identity | 因此,它被普遍用于东亚身份 |
| 858 | of which I am a part and also class privilege | 我是其中的一部分,也是阶级特权 |
| 859 | and economic privilege. | 以及经济特权 |

| 861 | might be in the United States. | 可能在美国 |
| 862 | And I am actually part of that view. | 我其实也是那种观点的一部分。 |

| 865 | with scholars to PhD programs. | 与学者一起参加博士课程。 |

| 878 | stereotypical way against others. | 对抗他人的陈规定型方式。 |
| 879 | And the more particular people embrace that, | 而更特别的人 接受这一点, |
| 880 | I think then that just reinstates | 我觉得那只是恢复了 |

| 882 | Cause then it's like, well, these Chinese people think that. | 因为那样的话,这些中国人就是这么想的。 |
| 883 | So it must be true. | 所以这一定是事实 |
| 884 | So it's part of that entire problem, right? | 所以这是整个问题的一部分,对不对? |
| 885 | And of course the concept itself | 当然,这个概念本身 |
| 886 | is inherently problematic, right? | 本来就有问题,对吧? |
| 887 | Because who's to determine who the model is, right? | 因为谁来决定谁是模特儿,对吧? |
| 888 | That already implies a very hierarchical as you said | 这已经意味着一个非常等级 正如你说的 |

| 1078 | if you're in the United States, | 如果你在美国, |
| 1079 | and of course, if you're abroad, | 当然,如果你在国外, |
| 1080 | Asian becomes, it's a complete construction anyway, | 亚裔变成,它是一个完整的建筑, |
| 1081 | but like you begin to see it shifts quite a lot. | 但就像你开始看到它转移了很多。 |
| 1082 | So it includes in America, broadly speaking, | 所以,它包括在美国, 广义上, |
| 1083 | you would have Filipino, you would have Thai, | 你会有菲律宾人,你会有泰国人, |
| 1084 | Vietnamese, Indian, so subcontinent, Pakistan, | 越南人 印度人 巴基斯坦的次大陆 |
| 1085 | like included within Asia, East Asia, | 就像包括亚洲,东亚, |
| 1086 | so Japan, Korea, China. | 日本、韩国、中国 |
| 1087 | So it's a giant umbrella term. | 所以这是一个巨大的伞形术语. |
| 1088 | And there are some shared experiences, I would say, | 有一些共同的经验,我想说, |
| 1089 | but I think it also, there's such a diversity | 但我也认为,有这样的多样性 |
| 1090 | of socioeconomic contexts and also experience | 社会经济背景和经验 |

| 1093 | of ... | 这个... |

| 1095 | And what kind of jobs and what kind of sectors of economy they're a part of many of them come on scholarship and come to higher education but many of them also come as laborers so it really varies so vastly. | 什么样的工作,什么样的经济部门,他们是他们中许多的一部分 来获得奖学金,来接受高等教育, 但是他们中许多人也来当工人, 所以它真的差别很大。 |
| 1096 | Which, you know, hence the the giant umbrella term in order to build coalition but I think oftentimes that's missed, and people think that their identity may be the only experience that's out there, which is problematic. | 所以,你知道,为了建立联盟, 巨型的伞形术语, 但我认为经常被错过, 人们会认为, 他们的身份可能是 唯一的经验 在那里,这是有问题的。 |
| 1097 | Great, thank you. | 很好,谢谢 |
| 1098 | So I think we're about close, close to the end, but I think if you snuck in right in time so we will get one more question in. | 所以,我认为我们接近,接近尾声, 但我想如果你及时溜进来, 这样我们就能再问一个问题。 |
