85-Fight For Liberty (1)

The Final Speech from “The Great Dictator”, by Charlie Chaplin

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. 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 is room for everyone. And the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone.

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.

The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together. The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men; cries out 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.

为自由而战斗（一）

《大独裁者》结尾演讲词 查理·卓别林

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，我倒挺想帮助所有的人——不论是犹太人还是非犹太人，是黑种人还是白种人。 我们都要互相帮助。做人就是应当如此。我们要把生活建立在彼此的幸福上；而不是建立在彼此的痛苦上。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。

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。我们发展了速度，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。

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，满足他们的贪念。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。只要人会死，自由就不会消亡。
