亨利·福特:我的生活与工作·补录 392

亨利·福特《我的生活与工作》· My Life and Work · 领导

The work which we describe as Studies in the Jewish Question, and which is variously described by antagonists as "the Jewish campaign," "the attack on the Jews," "the anti-Semitic pogrom," and so forth, needs no explanation to those who have followed it. Its motives and purposes must be judged by the work itself. It is offered as a contribution to a question which deeply affects the country, a question which is racial at its source, and which concerns influences and ideals rather than persons. Our statements must be judged by candid readers who are intelligent enough to lay our words alongside life as they are able to observe it. If our word and their observation agree, the case is made. It is perfectly silly to begin to damn us before it has been shown that our statements are baseless or reckless. The first item to be considered is the truth of what we have set forth. And that is precisely the item which our critics choose to evade.

白话

福特为《犹太问题研究》系列辩护。他说,反对者把它叫作“犹太运动”“攻击犹太人”“反犹 pogrom”,但作品本身不需要解释,动机和目的应由内容判断。它是对一个深刻影响国家、根源在种族、关乎影响与理想而非个人的问题的贡献。他要求有判断力的读者把文章和可观察的生活对照:若吻合,就成立;在证明其无根据或轻率之前就谴责,是愚蠢的。首要问题是所述是否真实,而批评者恰恰回避这一点。这里的关键是:先查事实,再下判断。

上下文

福特在《我的生活与工作》中为引发争议的《犹太问题研究》系列文章作辩护,该系列后因反犹内容受到批评。

今日一问

面对有争议的说法,你是先查证事实,还是先凭立场站队?
