| 下面这个讲座,是一本畅销书的作者在纽约的座谈会,作者的专业是美国殖民时代新英格兰地区发生在Salem的一段历史,抓鬼这个词witchhunt就是由此而来。 维基百科: The term "witch-hunt" is often used by analogy to refer to panic-induced searches for perceived wrong-doers other than witches. The best known example is probably the McCarthyist search for communists during the Cold War,[2][3] which was discredited partly through being compared to the Salem witch trials.[2] 五十年代麦卡锡抓特务的时候,知识分子精神上受到刺激,大作家亚瑟米勒就拿这段历史说事,讽刺当时的政治。 这段讲座到最后,有个听众问了一个非常有意思的问题,我觉得作者的回答很说明一些问题,对于理解美国今天的知识分子,很有帮助。 建议大家看看这一段视频,尤其要坚持到最后那个问题。 http://www.youtube.com/user/AtGoogleTalks#p/u/138/z5L36OrxM-c |
