The Lowest Animal
Man is the only animal that robs his helpless fellow of his country – takes possession of it and drives him out of it or destroys him. Man has done this in all the ages. There is not an acre of ground on the globe that is in possession of its rightful owner, or that has not been taken away from owner after owner, cycle after cycle, by force and bloodshed.
Man is the only slave. And he is the only animal who enslaves. He has always been a slave in one form or another, and has always held other slaves in bondage under him in one way or another. In our day his is always some man’s slaves for wages, and does that man’s work; and this slave has other slaves under him for minor wages, and they do his work. The higher animals are the only ones who exclusively do their own work and provide their own living.
Man is the only Patriot. He sets himself apart in his own country, under his own flag, and sneers at the other nations, and keeps multitudinous uniformed assassins on hand at heavy expense to grab slices of other people’s countries, and keep them from grabbing slices of his. And in the intervals between campaigns he washes the blood off his hands and works for “the universal brotherhood of man” – with his mouth.
Man is the Religious animal. He is the only Religious animal. He is the only animal that has true religion – several of them. He is the only animal that loves his neighbor as himself, and cuts his throat if his theology isn’t straight. He has made a graveyard of the globe in trying his honest best to smooth his brother’s path to happiness and heaven. He was at it in the time of the Caesars, he was at it in Mahomet’s time, he was at it in the time of the Inquisition, he was at it in France a couple of centuries, he was at it in England in Mary’s day, he has been at it ever since he first saw the light, he is at it today in Crete – as per the telegrams quoted above – he will be at it somewhere else tomorrow. The higher animals have no religion. And we are told that they are going to be left out, in the Hereafter. I wonder why? It seems questionable taste.
Man is the Reasoning Animal. Such is the claim. I think it is open to dispute. Indeed, my experiments have proven to me that he is the Unreasoning Animal. Note his history, as sketched above. It seems plain to me that whatever he is not a reasoning animal. His record is the fantastic record of a maniac. I consider that the strongest count against his intelligence is the fact that with record back of him he blandly sets himself up as the head animal of the lot; whereas by his own standards he is the bottom one.
In truth, man is incurably foolish. Simple things which the other animals easily learn, he is incapable of learning. Among my experiments was this. In an hour I taught a cat and a dog to be friends. I put them in a cage. In another hour I taught them to be friends with a rabbit. In the course of two days I was able to add a fox, a goose, a squirrel and some doves, finally a monkey. They lived together in peace; even affectionately.
By Mark Twain
马克 吐温(1835-1910),美国批判现实主义文学的奠基人,世界著名的短篇小说大师。本人并不完全赞同Mr. Mark Twain 这篇文章中的观点,但却不得不承认,现实生活中,像文章中所描述的这类人大量存在。这是我们无法回避的事实,也是人类作为万物之灵必须自我反省,自我净化,自我调整的。有人每天做着不劳而获的事,有人每天都想尽办法剥削别人,有人每天都在争抢别人的地盘,这种人在这个地球上越来越多的话,终有一天将人类带入万劫不复的境地。
《最低等的动物》译文如下
人是唯一的劫掠无助同类国土的一种动物,占有同胞的国土,将其驱逐出门或者将其摧毁。岁岁年年,人一直从事着这种行径。地球上没有一寸土地归属于正当的主人,要么就是物质循环往复地通过烧杀抢夺,流血牺牲从一个主人转到另一主人手中。人是唯一的奴隶。人也是唯一的奴役他人的动物。人总是以这种或者那种形式的奴隶,总是以这种或者那种方式把其他奴隶牢牢地把握在自己手中。如今,人为了酬金而成为某个人的奴隶,为那个人做事,这个奴隶又拥有其他奴隶,并且支付更少的酬金,让他们替他干活。高级动物是只给自己干活,自谋生路的人。
人是唯一的爱国者。在自己的国家,在自己的国旗下,他傲然而立,蔑视其他国家,支付重金进行大量的军事暗杀活动,攫取其他国家人民的财产,防止他们抢夺本国财产。在一次次争斗的间歇,他洗掉双手沾满的鲜血,口口声声叫喊着为“广大的同胞”而战。
人是信奉宗教的动物。人是唯一信奉宗教的动物。人是唯一拥有真正宗教的动物——有好几种宗教。人是唯一的爱邻如己的动物,如果邻居信仰邪门歪教,他会切断邻居的喉咙。人竭尽全力地为兄弟开辟通往幸福和天堂的大道,从而已经使地球变为一片坟地。恺撒时代,人热衷于此,穆罕默德时代,人热衷于此;宗教法庭时代,人热衷于此;几个世纪以来,在法国人热衷于此;在英国玛丽女王时代,人热衷于此;如今在克里特岛人热衷于此——正如以上引用的每则电报中提到的——人将来在其他某个地方还会热衷于此。高级动物不信仰宗教。有人告诉我们,今后,人们会摈弃宗教。我不清楚其中的缘由。看起来这值得怀疑。
人是理性的动物。原因如下——我认为可以开诚布公的进行讨论——的确,我的研究表明,人是丧失理性的动物。注意以上提及的历史。人是没有理性的动物,在我看来乃寻常之事。人的记录即是一个疯子的荒诞记录。大量记载显示人把自己当作万特之灵;然而依照人自己的标准,人是最低级的,我认为这是反对人的智慧的最强有力的证据。
事实上,人愚蠢至极,不可救药。其他动物轻易掌握的简单之事,人却无法学会。我的一项实验就证明了这一点。我花了一个小时教一只猫和一只狗交朋友。我把他们放在一个笼子中。我又花了一个小时教他们和一只兔子,一只松鼠和几只鸽子交朋友。最后教他们和一保猴子交朋友。他们和平相处,甚至情深意切。 ;) ;) ;) 楼主的强弱指数越看越好,再顶! Dear Michael,
How are you these days?
Please do advise me about JPY.
Is there any chance to buy JPY at 103.50 these days?
If yes, I am planning to buy it , then take profit at around 95.:)
Thanks for your kindness in advance.

Dear Lingling
I am pretty good, thanks. How are you doing?Just looking over the daily chart of USD/JPY, I find its weak resistance level is at 105.50 and strong resistance level is at 106.90. So if you short it near 105.50, its winning percentage will be 70%, and if you short it near 106.90, then the winning percentage will reach 90%. It’s my opinion; and I hope it meets your demand. Have a nice day! Dear Michael,
Many thanks for your so valuable analyze about JPY.;)
Nice to be informed that you are pretty good as me 2.
Good luck !:)
