“我認(rèn)為中國(guó)的崛起是人類(lèi)歷史上最重要、最卓越的經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展?!?/p>
“I would describe the rise of China as the most important and remarkable economic development in human history.”
“China is already more or less on a par with the United States economically. It’s actually in terms of the size and reach, is already overtaken the United States.” Martin Jacques said in the video, “We can also see that how China’s influence in the world is in all sorts of ways is growing.”
雅克教授注意到,目睹中國(guó)崛起的一些西方政客,形成了對(duì)中國(guó)的一種類(lèi)似“憤恨”的敵意。他認(rèn)為,這一方面是由于中國(guó)有著與西方完全不同的政治制度。另一方面,中國(guó)的歷史也與西方截然不同。
他指出:“中國(guó)永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)'西化’,而西方國(guó)家對(duì)此難以置信或理解。我們總是認(rèn)為自己是模板,是模型,世界將變得也應(yīng)該像我們一樣。因此,西方國(guó)家,尤其是精英階層,對(duì)中國(guó)的了解程度非常糟糕。”
其次就是無(wú)知。我們拒絕真正去對(duì)待差異性的問(wèn)題?!?/p>
“It's arrogant in the sense that we think that we are best, and therefore we have the universal measure. And secondly, it's ignorant. We refuse to really address the issue of difference.”
之后,他引用美國(guó)歷史學(xué)家保羅·柯文所著書(shū)中的觀點(diǎn)進(jìn)一步分析道,“西方認(rèn)為他們的文化大概是世界上最國(guó)際化的文化,但事實(shí)上并非如此。在很多方面,它其實(shí)是最狹隘的?!?/p>
“The West thinks of itself as probably the most cosmopolitan of all cultures. But it's not. In many ways, it's the most parochial.”
戳視頻聽(tīng)馬丁·雅克精彩剖析西方對(duì)中國(guó)高傲的心態(tài)從何而來(lái)↓↓
在4月9日這期視頻的結(jié)尾,馬丁·雅克總結(jié)道,與西方的對(duì)華偏見(jiàn)相反,歷史表明中國(guó)比其他任何文明都更善于多次重塑自己。
“中國(guó)在其歷史上至少有五個(gè)時(shí)期是世界上最先進(jìn)的文明或最先進(jìn)的文明之一,我們現(xiàn)在看到的是第六個(gè)時(shí)期,這是在中國(guó)共產(chǎn)黨的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)下發(fā)生的。因此中國(guó)是非常有能力重塑自己的,中國(guó)有著強(qiáng)大的實(shí)力。”
“China has at least 5 periods in the history where it has been the most advanced or one of the most advanced civilizations in the world. And we are seeing a sixth period now, which is happening under the Chinese Communist party. It’s very capable of reinventing itself. So China has great strength.
馬丁·雅克的這段視頻下,許多海外網(wǎng)友紛紛留言點(diǎn)贊:剖析得太到位了。
“遺憾的是,很少有人能像雅克教授一樣了解中國(guó)。他們往往把一切歸結(jié)為通過(guò)自己的有色眼鏡看到的幾個(gè)標(biāo)簽。”
