孟德斯鸠：对一个人的不公，就是对所有人的威胁

You there, second desk blue jacket. What is your name? My name is Alexis. Alexis please leave my lecture room. I don't want to see you at one of my lectures ever again.

那边，第二桌，穿蓝夹克的。你叫什么名字? 我叫亚历克西斯。亚历克西斯，请离开我的讲堂。我再也不想在我的课上看到你了。

I don't understand.

我不明白。

I am not gonna ask a second time. Thank you.

我不会再问第二次了。谢谢你！

Why are there laws? Whatlawsfor,anyone?

为什么要有法律?有人知道法律的作用吗?

Social order?  To protect the person's personal rights, so that you can rely on the government?

Justice?

社会秩序?保护人的人身权利，让你可以依靠政府吗?正义吗?

Thank you. Tell me,was I unfair to your classmate just now?

谢谢你！告诉我，我刚才对你们的同学不公平吗?

Indeed I was. So why didn't any of you protest? Why didn't any of you try and stop me? Why didn't you want to prevent this injustice?You see what you have just Learned? You wouldn't have understood in 1000 hours of lectures unless you lived in.

的确是这样。那你们为什么不抗议呢?你们为什么没人阻止我?你为什么不想阻止这种不公正?你知道你刚刚学到了什么吗?你不可能在1000个小时的讲座中理解，除非你生活在其中。

You didn't say anything because you weren't affected yourself.And this attitude speaks against you and against life. You think it doesn't concern you so it's none of your business.Well, I'm here to say if you don't help bring about justice,then one day you too may experience injustice and there will be nobody there to stand before you. Truth and justice lives through us alland we must fight for it.

你什么也没说，因为你自己没有受到影响。发生肯能对你不利，对你以后的生活不利。你认为这不关你的事，所以这不关你的事。我在这里是想说如果你不帮助实现正义，那么有一天你也会经历不公正，没有人能站在你面前。真理和正义活在我们每一个人的心中，我们必须为之奋斗。

Becausein life and work, I mean, we often live next to each other but not with each other. We console ourselves that the problems of others are nothing to do with us, none of our business and we go home glad at night that was spared. But it's about standing up for each other.

因为在生活和工作中，我的意思是，我们经常住在一起，但不是一起住。我们安慰自己说，别人的问题与我们无关，与我们无关，晚上我们高高兴兴地回家。但这是关于互相支持。

Every day aninjustice happens in business, sport or on the tram, relying on someone else to take care of it is not good enough. It is our duty to be there for others, to speak up for others when they cannot.

每天都有不公正的事情发生在商业、体育或有轨电车上，依靠别人来处理是不够的。我们有责任为他人提供帮助，在别人不能为他们说话的时候为他们说话。

I am here to teach you the power of your voice. I want you to learn critical thinking to empower you to stand up for what is right, even if it means going against what everyone else is doing.

我是来教你们发声的力量。我希望你学会批判性思维，让你有能力坚持正确的事情，即使这意味着要和其他人的做法背道而驰。

Let's begin.

从现在开始。
