寒毛應為汗毛才對。

Indian National Congress通常譯為印度國大黨。

""停下和平腳步"" 聽起來好像放棄和平改採暴力，原文是peaceful struggle，指的是甘地認為非暴力的精神不應趁人之危，因此不願在英國面臨戰爭焦頭爛額之際還繼續在印度國內推動不合作運動。

甘地給希特勒的長信如下，我還是先貼在這裡，巴勒網高手如雲，還是請大家看一下有沒有要改的，沒問題我再貼到首頁。

各位別以為甘地只是寫信和希特勒寒暄或說說教而已，在我看這信是不折不扣的警告和宣戰，我若是獨裁者，恐怕會認真考慮要不要一意孤行下去。

昨天重看「帝國毀滅」，十分感動，不是感動希特勒，而是他身邊的這些人，個個正直，誠信，充滿信念和榮譽感，堅定不移，可說到了虔誠的程度。這些人確實做了很多可怕的事，但他們卻一點都不卑鄙。

我對人性這一切難以理解的事仍然充滿疑惑，但我似乎慢慢感覺人不該崇拜，崇拜讓你停止了思考，一旦你崇拜，你就等於把自己的靈魂交了出去。而你永遠只該把靈魂交給一個對象，那就是你的良知。

1940 年甘地寫給希特勒的信：尋求和平，否則有人會「用你的武器擊垮你」

2015年4月2日
商業內幕網 (Business Insider)

照片左：莫罕達斯•甘地正在名為S.S. Rajputana的船艦上，前往決定印度主權的”第二次圓桌會議”途中。照片右：德國總理阿道夫•希特勒在柏林的盧斯特花園(Lustgarten)對著八萬名工人演講，時間是1936年5月1號勞動節。

莫罕達斯•甘地，人們口中的聖雄，因其提倡以不服從及非暴力手段來達到目的而揚名於世。

自1921年開始甘地以這樣的方法領導著印度獨立運動，最終在1947年自大英帝國手中取得了國家自由，六個月後他便與世長辭。

較不為人所知的是甘地曾在1939及1940致信給德國獨裁者希特勒，嘗試阻止他在歐洲發動戰爭。

為了避免二次大戰的發生，甘地不但鼓勵希特勒尋求和平，更叫英國人民以非暴力的方式來對抗希特勒及義大利的墨索里尼，即便這兩個國家旨在催毀英國。

「就像我之前說的，非暴力的手段裡沒有擊敗對手這回事。它旨在”要麼行動，要麼死亡(do or die)”，卻不傷害對手一根汗毛。」甘地給希特勒的信中這麼說道，「它是可實際運用的手段，不必花上一分金錢，更不必用上你所精通的那些破壞性的科學力量。」

「我很訝異你竟然看不出這是種無法壟斷的力量，即便不是英國，也必定會有人青出於藍，並用你的武器擊垮你。你將無法留下任何讓你的人民值得驕傲的遺產。」

以下是長信全文：
===========
1940年12月24日寫於沃爾塔市(Wardha)

我親愛的朋友：

以朋友的身份致信於你並非出於禮貌，因我懷著全然的善意而來。過去33年來我廣結善緣，致力與全人類為友，無論何種種族、膚色或信仰。

我希望你能挪出一些時間和意願來瞭解，許多和我一樣抱持著「舉世為友」的信念的人是怎麼看待你的行為的。我們對你向自己祖國展現的勇氣與奉獻毫不懷疑，也不相信你是你的對手所描述的那種怪物。但從你與你的朋友、以及你的崇拜者的文字和發言中，我們發現你的諸多行為確實十分可怕，並與人類的尊嚴相互牴觸，在我這樣相信博愛的人眼中看來更是如此。我說的是你對捷克斯洛伐克的羞辱、對波蘭的強奪及對丹麥的併吞。我知道你的思想中將這類劫掠視為善舉，但它在我們從小的教育中卻是毀壞人性的惡行，因之我們對你的強腕無法獻上一絲祝福。

我們展現力量的方法卻相當不同。比之納綷，我們對抗英國帝國主義的努力並不更少，真要說的話是有過之而無不及。世上五分之一的人類正被踩在英國的腳下，同樣是以一種不光采的力量來達成。我們對它的反抗卻不是傷害英國人民；我們尋求的是改變(convert)他們，而非在戰場上將他們擊敗(defeat)。我們對英國統治的對抗是種手無寸鐵的起義，但無論是否成功改變他們，我們都決定讓他們的統治完全失去作用－以一種非暴力的不合作來達成。這個方法在本質上是無堅不摧的，因為它是基於一個事實，這事實就是任何加害者若不靠受害者某種程度上的合作－無論是自願或被迫－他將無法遂行其目的。我們的統治者也許可以佔有我們的土地和肉體，但他卻無法佔有我們的靈魂，而前者，除非他們殺光所有的印度人－男人、女人和小孩－否則也不可能達成。當然，並非所有人都能做到英雄式的非暴力標準，許多可怕的事也可能讓起義折損，但這類質疑都忽略了重點。想想看，如果在印度有一定數量的男人女人願意在面對加害者時不帶著任何惡意，但願意犧牲自己的生命而非向其屈膝，他們便為暴政下的受害者指出了一條自由的路。我請你務必相信我們印度有許多這樣的人，數量遠超過你的想像，他們已經為此訓練了20年。

過去半個世紀來我們都在努力脫離英國的統治，而這股獨立運動從未像如今這般強烈，其中最有力的政黨組織即印度國大黨(Indian National Congress)正致力於達成此一目標。我們的對手英國，曾是世上最有組織的施暴者，但透過非暴力，我們已經取得了相當的成果而能與之抗衡。如今你正在挑戰這份力量，問題只在於誰更有組織，是德國？還是英國？我們和其他歐洲人以外的種族，非常瞭解英國鐵腕之兇暴，但我們絕不願在另一股德國暴力的協助下終結英國對我們的統治。我們如今已經明白就算世上所有的暴力加總起來，我們的非暴力只要經過組織，便足以與之對抗。就像我之前說的，非暴力的手段裡沒有擊敗對手這回事。它旨在「要麼行動，要麼死亡(do or die)」，卻不傷害對手一根汗毛。它是可實際運用的手段，不必花上一分金錢，更不必用上你所精通的那些破壞性的科學力量。我很訝異你竟然看不出這是種無法壟斷的力量，即便不是英國，也必定會有人青出於藍，並用你的武器擊垮你。你將無法留下任何讓你的人民值得驕傲的遺產，他們將無法自豪地細數自己的國家曾精心策劃哪些功績，因為這些事是如此地殘酷。因此，我在此以人道為名，懇求你停止戰爭。有關貴國與英國間的紛爭，你不妨將之呈上國際法庭，因為即便你在戰爭中取得了勝利，那也不代表你是對的，那只代表你的破壞力較對方來得強大；在公正的法庭上，我們卻可以判定誰站在較為正確的一方。

你應該知道在不久前我正式向所有英國人民呼籲，採取我的非暴力方法來對抗納綷，我這麼做是因為英國人明白我雖是個反叛者，卻也是位朋友。對你和貴國人民來說我也許是個陌生臉孔，我不願唐突地對貴國人民做出相同的呼籲。並不是說我一定不會把施加在英國政府上的力量施加於你，但目前我只想做個簡單的提議，這樣比較實際，也較不傷感情。

看著歐洲人民們陷於水深火熱之中，連我們自己都無法乘人之危，因而暫停了對英國的不合作運動。在這個生靈塗炭、數百萬歐洲人發出無聲哭泣的時候，要求你為和平做出一些貢獻是否太過了？你的一點作為也許對你來說沒什麼，但對那些我耳中聽到的沉默哭聲卻意義重大。在我前往英國參加圓桌會議(Round Table Conference)的途中，我曾有幸於羅馬拜見墨索里尼閣下，當時我就打定主意向你們兩位發出我的請求。我也希望他能收下我的信息並做出正確的改變。

改好了，原來是誠摯，不是誠致。長信若翻完再一併貼在首頁。

過去以為自己的翻譯能力還行，覺得英文也不過就是一堆符號，查查字典自己拼湊成中文就行了，用中文代言好像不是太難。但隨著英文程度慢慢增加，我才知道任何語言其實都很困難，難不在表面意思或文法，而在於語言就像音樂，你掌握了音律或合弦，不代表你掌握了音樂。更難的是文字若不只是用來傳達某種資訊而是帶著可見的情感和意志，那麼翻譯就成了幾乎不可能的任務，一個字母和一個標點符號都有它原本的主人，世上不可能有其他代言人。

現實上或許還是需要或能夠翻譯，我只是說翻譯讓我很心虛，英文或中文也許都不難，但英中文若出自英雄筆下，我其實是沒什麼資格染指的，字面意思有了，英雄的神韻和氣度卻沒辦法傳達。我只是想這信既然有重要歷史意義，也許有人會想知道它究竟寫了些什麼。但如果有英文高手發現我哪裡翻錯或寫錯字了，拜託請出手解圍一下，畢竟我連中文都會打錯。

啟承

這年頭真是很卑鄙。

甘地於 1939 年寫給希特勒的信
印度獨立與非暴力抗爭領袖對納綷德國領導人的懇求

觀察家(The Observer) 2013年10月12日

當歐洲陷入德國佔領捷克斯洛伐克而帶來的緊張情勢時，莫罕達斯•甘地－印度獨立運動的非暴力領袖－寫了封簡明有力的信給希特勒，請求他停止戰爭。但在英國政府的干預下，此信從未能送扺希特勒手中。僅一個月後，在全世界驚恐萬分的眼下，德國入侵了波蘭。

===========

1939年7月23日

我親愛的朋友：

身邊的友人們一直催促我出於人道理由寫信給你，我先前都拒絕他們，因為我的信可能讓你覺得過於魯莽。有個聲音告訴我，我不應基於算計而寫，而該對那些真正重要之事提出我的懇求。

很明顯地，如今世上只有你能避免一場戰爭，避免它將我們的人性毀棄至野蠻的狀態。你非得為某個目的付出這樣巨大的代價，即便它在你看來有如是的價值？你是否願意聆聽一個畢生致力避免以戰爭為手段，卻也能取得巨大成功的人的聲音？不管如何，這信若有失分寸，我向你致上誠摯的歉意。

此致
你真誠的朋友

「我是隻肥貓」　王建煊捐6年2000萬薪水

ETtoday 2012年05月23日

政治中心／綜合報導

監察院長王建煊22日接受TVBS《2100全民開講》專訪，自認自己是隻「肥貓」，月薪30萬元還有車有秘書，自己雖有付出，但不值得這樣的薪水，覺得對不起納稅人，將捐出擔任院長來6年的薪資約2000萬元。

王建煊新書《公平正義何處尋？》23日將出版，他昨晚上節目時，覺得不應拿這樣的高薪，為了減少虧欠，決定將薪資全部捐出來，這樣比較快樂，也沒有罪惡感，更希望能影響一些公務員，在國家財政困難時，想想自己是否對得起繳稅人。

截至目前為止王建煊已經捐款1700多萬，後續會再捐出200多萬。他進一步談到，擔任院長期間也努力節省開支，6位隨扈只留1人、退租官邸和維安人員住所，6年來共節省國庫7800萬元；至於，每月10萬5000元的院長特別費，也只用在公事上，如紅白帖子、犒賞員工等。

有一篇翻譯，被我拖了四個月，剛剛把它貼上了。見首頁。

剛才的新聞，披露甘地寫給希特勒的一封長信。稍早之前有另一封短信。如下。

Mohandas Gandhi's letter to Adolf Hitler, 1939
India's figurehead for independence and non-violent protest pleads with the leader of Nazi Germany

The Observer, Saturday 12 October 2013


As tensions mounted in Europe following Germany’s occupation of Czechoslovakia, Mohandas Gandhi, the famously non-violent leader of the Indian independence movement, wrote a clear and concise plea for Hitler to avoid war, but it never reached its intended recipient because of an intervention by the British government. Just over a month later, the world looked on in horror as Germany invaded Poland.

----
23 July 1939

Dear friend,

Friends have been urging me to write to you for the sake of humanity. But I have resisted their request, because of the feeling that any letter from me would be an impertinence. Something tells me that I must not calculate and that I must make my appeal for whatever it may be worth.

It is quite clear that you are today the one person in the world who can prevent a war which may reduce humanity to the savage state. Must you pay the price for an object however worthy it may appear to you to be? Will you listen to the appeal of one who has seliberately [sic] shunned the method of war not without considerable success? Any way I anticipate your forgiveness, if I have erred in writing to you.

I remain,
Your sincere friend
M.K.Gandhi

Gandhi's 1940 letter to Adolf Hitler: Seek peace or someone will 'beat you with your own weapon'

APR. 2, 2015
Business Insider

AP Photo Left: Mahatma Gandhi aboard the S.S. Rajputana en route to the Second Round Table Conference on Dominion Status for India; Right: German Chancellor Adolf Hitler during his address to 80,000 workers in the Lustgarten, Berlin, May 1, 1936, s part of the May Day Celebrations.

Mohandas Gandhi, frequently known by the honorific Mahatma (meaning ""great soul""), was famous for advocating civil disobedience and nonviolence to achieve his goals.

Starting in 1921, Gandhi led the Indian independence movement through such methods, finally achieving freedom from the British empire in 1947, just six months before his death.

Less known is Gandhi's efforts through a series of letters in 1939 and 1940 to keep German dictator Adolf Hitler from starting a war in Europe.

Gandhi took it upon himself to prevent World War II by not only encouraging Hitler to seek peace, but also by telling the British people to oppose Hitler and Italy's Benito Mussolini by nonviolent means, even as Nazi Germany and Italy sought to destroy the country.

""In nonviolent technique, as I have said, there is no such thing as defeat. It is all 'do or die' without killing or hurting,"" Ghandi wrote to Hitler. ""It can be used practically without money and obviously without the aid of science of destruction which you have brought to such perfection.

""It is a marvel to me that you do not see that it is nobody's monopoly. If not the British, some other power will certainly improve upon your method and beat you with your own weapon. You are leaving no legacy to your people of which they would feel proud.""

Here is the full version, which is the longer of Gandhi's two letters to Hitler:

As at Wardha,
December 24, 1940

Dear friend,

That I address you as a friend is no formality. I own no foes. My business in life has been for the past 33 years to enlist the friendship of the whole of humanity by befriending mankind, irrespective of race, colour or creed.

I hope you will have the time and desire to know how a good portion of humanity who have view living under the influence of that doctrine of universal friendship view your action. We have no doubt about your bravery or devotion to your fatherland, nor do we believe that you are the monster described by your opponents. But your own writings and pronouncements and those of your friends and admirers leave no room for doubt that many of your acts are monstrous and unbecoming of human dignity, especially in the estimation of men like me who believe in universal friendliness. Such are your humiliation of Czechoslovakia, the rape of Poland and the swallowing of Denmark. I am aware that your view of life regards such spoliations as virtuous acts. But we have been taught from childhood to regard them as acts degrading humanity. Hence we cannot possibly wish success to your arms.

But ours is a unique position. We resist British Imperialism no less than Nazism. If there is a difference, it is in degree. One-fifth of the human race has been brought under the British heel by means that will not bear scrutiny. Our resistance to it does not mean harm to the British people. We seek to convert them, not to defeat them on the battle-field. Ours is an unarmed revolt against the British rule. But whether we convert them or not, we are determined to make their rule impossible by non-violent non-co-operation. It is a method in its nature indefensible. It is based on the knowledge that no spoliator can compass his end without a certain degree of co-operation, willing or compulsory, of the victim. Our rulers may have our land and bodies but not our souls. They can have the former only by complete destruction of every Indian—man, woman and child. That all may not rise to that degree of heroism and that a fair amount of frightfulness can bend the back of revolt is true but the argument would be beside the point. For, if a fair number of men and women be found in India who would be prepared without any ill will against the spoliators to lay down their lives rather than bend the knee to them, they would have shown the way to freedom from the tyranny of violence. I ask you to believe me when I say that you will find an unexpected number of such men and women in India. They have been having that training for the past 20 years.

We have been trying for the past half a century to throw off the British rule. The movement of independence has been never so strong as now. The most powerful political organization, I mean the Indian National Congress, is trying to achieve this end. We have attained a very fair measure of success through non-violent effort. We were groping for the right means to combat the most organized violence in the world which the British power represents. You have challenged it. It remains to be seen which is the better organized, the German or the British. We know what the British heel means for us and the non-European races of the world. But we would never wish to end the British rule with German aid. We have found in non-violence a force which, if organized, can without doubt match itself against a combination of all the most violent forces in the world. In non-violent technique, as I have said, there is no such thing as defeat. It is all 'do or die' without killing or hurting. It can be used practically without money and obviously without the aid of science of destruction which you have brought to such perfection. It is a marvel to me that you do not see that it is nobody's monopoly. If not the British, some other power will certainly improve upon your method and beat you with your own weapon. You are leaving no legacy to your people of which they would feel proud. They cannot take pride in a recital of cruel deed, however skilfully planned. I, therefore, appeal to you in the name of humanity to stop the war. You will lose nothing by referring all the matters of dispute between you and Great Britain to an international tribunal of your joint choice. If you attain success in the war, it will not prove that you were in the right. It will only prove that your power of destruction was greater. Whereas an award by an impartial tribunal will show as far as it is humanly possible which party was in the right.

You know that not long ago I made an appeal to every Briton to accept my method of non-violent resistance. I did it because the British know me as a friend though a rebel. I am a stranger to you and your people. I have not the courage to make you the appeal I made to every Briton. Not that it would not apply to you with the same force as to the British. But my present proposal is much simple because much more practical and familiar.

During this season when the hearts of the peoples of Europe yearn for peace, we have suspended even our own peaceful struggle. Is it too much to ask you to make an effort for peace during a time which may mean nothing to you personally but which must mean much to the millions of Europeans whose dumb cry for peace I hear, for my ears are attended to hearing the dumb millions? I had intended to address a joint appeal to you and Signor Mussolini, whom I had the privilege of meeting when I was in Rome during my visit to England as a delegate to the Round Table Conference. I hope that he will take this as addressed to him also with the necessary changes.

看了兩天，國內對於亞投行的討論，實在令人搖頭。就我自己對亞投行的了解，台灣沒辦法像過去一樣玩大國恐怖平衡的遊戲。這完全是大陸主導，而現在是申請成為創始會員國。簡單地說，現在申請的這些國家，如果被接受，都將是制定整個遊戲規則。台灣現在不參與，未來想申請進入成為會員，將更是困難。講難聽一點，如果馬總統現在不遞件參與，才是真正的出賣台灣的國家利益。尤其亞投行未來協助一帶一路的發展，這二大區塊的國家遍及亞洲。一帶一路，除了絲路經濟帶，台灣企業較少接觸之外，海上絲路這一塊，台商的勢力已經逐漸部署。而這些國家的基礎建設缺乏，卻又缺錢和技術。台灣有參與，才有機會將這些和基礎建設有關的企業帶入這些國家的建設。

看看以色列怎麼想：
=============================================
以色列申請加入亞投行
http://money.udn.com/storypage.php?sub_id=5641&art_id=810782
=============================================

此外，現在不參加，未來想加入時，千萬不要期待美國能提供什麼協助。去年APAC結束，習近平直接宣佈，捐出500億美元成立亞洲基礎建設投資銀行（亞投行）。換言之，資本額1000億美元的亞投行，大陸就出資一半，剩下的部分都由這些創始會員國去認購。簡單地說，想參與遊戲規則的制定，就拿錢出來。美國想主導，就得拿錢出來，而不是像亞洲開發銀行（亞開銀），日本是大股東，但什麼事情都得看美國的臉色。美國現在只能叫囂，可是卻無力阻止，畢竟自己欠債一大堆，根本沒有錢可以拿出來玩。日本傻傻地跟隨美國，未來自己將在亞洲徹底被邊緣化。

底下的網址，是大陸微信上的一則漫畫，有關於亞投行。

至於「台灣要不要加入」
我只能說還好現在的執政者，不是腦袋僵化的台灣民族主義者。
這幾年看下來，我個人感覺，如果哪一天台灣真的垮了，絕對不是因為天天被罵、被酸和被控賣台的這群人，反而是把愛台灣掛在嘴上、自詡為愛台急先鋒者。
