66anti-Chinese immigration in the history of the United States.美国历史上的反华移民.
67So you might be thinking, what does US immigration and US anti-Chinese immigration所以,你可能会在想, 美国移民 和美国反华移民
68in particular have to do with apocalypse?尤其是和启示录有关?
69That seems like a very strange juxtaposition.这似乎是一个非常奇怪的并列。
70And what does she mean by apocalypse?她是什么意思 启示录?
71Because, of course, there are several different meanings to this, right?因为,当然, 有几个不同的含义 这一点,对不对?
72There'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.
73So we have the broader popular usage of apocalyptic generally is relating to因此,我们有更广泛的 大众使用apocalyptic 通常与
74world ending catastrophe, disaster or a change of world.世界结束灾难、灾难或世界的改变。
75Sometimes 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.

80that's related to immigration.和移民有关
81There's also the far narrower term, which is relating to ancient Jewish literature,还有更窄的术语 和古代犹太文学有关

83prophet, 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

85destruction of one world and the entering in the ushering in of a new.摧毁一个世界,进入一个新的世界。
86And 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
87book 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
88that to U.S.给美国。
89leaders thinking and also general population in America, thinking about immigration in美国的领袖们 思考移民问题
90a particular conception of the United States and of America.对美国和美利坚合众国的特定概念。
91So 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
92ideation 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
93as 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

97leaders 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
98to come in and who needs to be kept out at the same time.他们需要同时被拒之门外。
99So that is part and parcel of that metaphorical thinking.因此,这是这种隐喻思维的一部分。
100So 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,
101as 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
102referencing the New Jerusalem.参考新耶路撒冷.
103So 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
104of 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
105and 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。
106So 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
107in 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
108shining city on the Hill.闪耀的城市在山上。
109So Winthrop here in the sermon is quoting the Bible.所以Winthrop在布道时引用了圣经
110It's not from Revelation.非从启示.
111It's from the Gospel of Matthew, Chapter five.出自"马太福音"第五章.
112But 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。
113And 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
114establishing 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
115So 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
116and 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。
117And 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。
118history and understanding of American exceptionalism.历史与对美国例外主义的理解.
119And 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.
120as 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.
121Kennedy 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.
122as 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。
123But 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
124the 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,
125is Ronald Reagan.是罗纳德·里根
126So 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。
127I'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
128leaving his two-term presidency.离开两届总统任期。
129And 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。
130And 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。
131So listen carefully to it.故仔细听.
132In 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
133Book of Revelation describing what he sees.记述他所见的启示录。
134So let me read that text to you.让我读给你听

136communicated what I saw when I said it.传达我说的话时所看到的
137But 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

139harmony 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。
140If 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
141with the will and the heart to get here.带着意志和心脏来到这里。
142And 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。
143Again, Reagan sounds like this ancient apocalyptic seer.再次,里根听起来像 这个古老的启示录。
144He has a vision, right?他有一个视觉,对不对?
145I've spoken, I see it.我说话了 我看到了
146This is how I see it.这就是我的看法。
147He sees the shining city.他看到了光辉的城市。
148He sees it on this strong foundation.他看到它在这个牢固的基础。
149And 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。
150And 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
151New 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
152here, 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?
153And 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
154open.打开
155So compare this.比较一下
156Let 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
157in Reagan's speech.在里根的演讲。
158Revelation 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,
159a new earth.一个新的地球。
160It 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
161crystal.结晶。
162It 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.
163And 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.
164The 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
165it.这个
166Its 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
167People 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。
168So 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
169So 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
170heavenly city imagery to talk about immigration.天城影像谈移民.
171He sounds very pro-immigration.他听起来非常支持移民
172He'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
173people from everywhere, right?到处都是人,对吧?
174The 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
175United States.美国。
176And he's using Revelation to cast a vision for U.S.他利用启示录 给美国投下远见
177immigration.移民问题。
178So 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
179speech.说话
180He 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
181granite 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
182beacon, 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
183the 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
184So 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.
185He's referencing that here through the use of pilgrims, right?他通过使用朝圣者来引用,对吧?
186Claiming U.S. as a beacon and a haven for the saints.自称美国是圣人信标和避风港.
187These 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。
188And there's an implied Christian saintliness of these imagined travelers and the这些想象中的旅行者和
189designation, identification of other countries as lost places.指定、识别其他国家为失地。
190They'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
191And 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.
192So 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?
193To 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?
194So 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,
195is ultimately problematic and exclusionary.归根结底是问题和排斥性的。
196The 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
197thousands 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,
198of 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?
199As 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
200protect 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?
201Protecting them from threat from the outside.保护他们免受外界的威胁
202And 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.
203So then who are these threats?那么这些威胁是谁?
204So 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,
205they then identified themselves as natives, right?然后他们自称是本地人,对吧?
206Became nativists in understanding themselves as those who belong,成为自以为是的鼻祖
207and 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
208So 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
209could 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?
210The threat who are outside and at the city walls, who must be excluded.城墙内外的威胁必须排除。
211And Revelation details also in its symbolism and in its description of events,启示录的细节也体现在它的象征意义和对事件的描述中,
212what kind of threats these are.这些威胁是什么?
213So who are outside and who must be excluded from the New Jerusalem.何者在外,必须排斥在新耶路撒冷之外.
214I'm just going to read several quotes from Revelation我只是要读一下《启示录》的几句话
215that detail what these might be that are outside.详细介绍外面可能是什么
216So here we have, for example, from Revelation chapter 9,例如,我们从启示录第9章开始
217that smoke came from locusts on the earth.那烟来自地球上的蝗虫。
218They were given authority like the authority of scorpions他们像蝎子一样被授予权威

221their hair like women's hair and their teeth like lion's teeth.他们的头发像女人的头发 牙齿像狮子的牙齿
222This is a plague that comes upon the earth, threatening.这是一个瘟疫 降临地球,威胁。
223This is before the heavenly Jerusalem descends.这是在天降耶路撒冷之前。
224From chapter 16, we have the pouring out of the bowls of God's wrath.从第十六章起,我们从神怒的碗里涌出来.
225And here the fifth bowl being poured out upon those who had worshiped the beast.这里的第五个碗 倒在那些崇拜过野兽的人身上
226It's being poured out in its kingdom.被灌其国.
227The beast's kingdom is plunged into darkness.野兽的王国陷入了黑暗.
228The people's nod their tongues in agony and curse the God of heaven人民在痛苦中点头 诅咒天堂之神
229because of their pains and sores.因为他们的痛苦和痛苦。
230And they did not repent of their deeds.他们没有悔改。
231There is also the existence of plague还有瘟疫的存在
232and those being inflicted upon those who had worshiped the beast.和那些崇拜牲畜的人所遭的刑罚。
233Here, this is after the descent of the New Jerusalem.在这里,这是在新耶路撒冷的衰落之后。
234And it's stated, nothing unclean will enter it,上面说 任何不洁的东西都不会进入它
235nor anyone who practices abomination or falsehood,或妄言不义者,
236but only those who are written in the Lamb's Book of Life.惟羊陀火铃经中记载之人.
237And I'll just draw your attention to the understanding我会提醒你注意理解
238not just of morality or righteousness as qualifications for entering,不光是道德或正义作为进入的资格,
239but also the association of being unclean or filthy or dirty也有污秽或污秽的关联
240as those that must be kept out.以及那些必须保密的
241And this is also those who practice abomination or falsehood这等人,确是放荡的,确是谬妄的。
242and who are not in the record,且未记录者,
243who are not written down in the Lamb's Book of Life.他们没有被记录在《羔羊生命之书》中。
244So remember that.所以记住这一点。
245There's also the identification of those outside with evil doing.亦有辨外道恶行者.
246And again, with filthy, there's often this equation of filthiness,再说一遍,脏兮兮的, 经常有这种肮脏的方程式,
247with moral corruption and evil doing.道德败坏和恶行。

445to 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

1109and indigenous peoples because that is part of a greater strength and movement that we should be a part of rather than work cross purposes, because there's all sorts of dialogue going on.因为他们是更大的力量和运动的一部分 我们应当成为 而不是工作 交叉目的的一部分,
1110But I think the more that Asian Americans and stop AIP API hate and Black Lives Matter and other like she connects movements etc can be a part of coalition, the stronger.但我认为,亚裔美国人和阻止AIP API 仇恨和黑生命物质 和其他像她连接运动等等的东西, 可以成为联盟的一部分, 越强大。

1114And for those who are allies to make room for to privilege those perspectives in conversation and those experiences is valid rather than to question I think that's one of the biggest things is to say well is that really right and one of the major things让那些盟友们在对话中 给这些观点留有余地 那些经历是有效的 而不是质疑 我认为这是最重要的事情之一
1115especially with the problem of model minority identity and experiences to be like well, but is that really so bad right or is that really racist and I think to to change that conversation to say let's let's validate BIPOC.特别是模式少数群体身份和经历的问题, 但这是非常糟糕的正确, 还是真正的种族主义, 我想改变这种对话, 让我们来验证BIPOC。
