Voice 2: Second, we can find the idea of ubuntu in politics.We have already said that Desmond Tutu, an important world leader, uses the word ubuntu.He wants to help people understand their responsibilities to one another.He says that if one person is hungry, then the whole community must work together to feed him.That is the ubuntu way.
声音2:第二,我们可以在政治上发现乌班图的理念。我们已经说过,一位重要的世界领袖德斯蒙德·图图使用了“乌班图”这个词。他想帮助人们理解他们对彼此的责任。他说,如果一个人饿了,那么整个社区必须齐心协力为他提供食物。这就是乌班图的方式。
Voice 1: And former President Bill Clinton also talks about ubuntu in politics.This is his idea about what ubuntu means.
声音1:前总统比尔·克林顿也谈到了政治中的乌班图。以下是他对乌班图含义的理解。
Voice 6: “If we were the most beautiful, the most intelligent, the most wealthy, the most powerful person, and then found, all of a sudden, that we were alone on the planet, it would not amount to a hill of beans!”
声音6:“如果我们是最美丽、最聪明、最富有、最有权势的人,然后却突然发现,我们在这个星球上孤身一人,那这一切将毫无价值!”
Voice 2: President Clinton means that nothing holds much importance if we are alone.What are beauty, intelligence, and wealth if we live alone? Living in community is what gives us wealth.Political governments can help make communities stronger.
声音2:克林顿总统的意思是,如果我们孤身一人,那么没有什么会是非常重要的。如果我们独自生活,美貌、智慧和财富会是什么呢?社区生活给我们带来财富。政治性政府可以帮助社区变得更强大。
Voice 1: Third, people are using ubuntu ideas in their communities.For example, many people in South Africa have AIDS.Sometimes people with AIDS find that their communities reject them.Many people in their communities are afraid of getting AIDS themselves.But, fear of others is not part of ubuntu.So, one community has built a large sign.The sign says, “My friend with AIDS is still my friend—Ubuntu!”
声音1:第三,人们在他们的社区中使用乌班图理念。例如,许多南非人患有艾滋病。有时艾滋病患者会发现他们的社区排斥他们。他们社区的许多人害怕自己感染艾滋病。但是,害怕别人不是乌班图的一部分。所以,有一个社区建了一个很大的标牌。牌子上写着:“我的艾滋病朋友仍然是我的朋友——乌班图!”
Voice 2: Fourth, ubuntu is an important idea in the work place.The work place is like a small community.When you start a new job, it is like being loyal to a new community.And your happiness at work is linked to the happiness of the people you work with.Workplaces that support ubuntu make sure that every person has value.And everyone is included in decision making.
声音2:第四,乌班图是工作场所的一个重要理念。工作场所就像一个小社区。当你开始一份新工作时,就像是忠于一个新的社区。你在工作中的幸福感与你的同事的幸福感息息相关。支持乌班图的工作场所确保每个人都有价值。每个人都参与决策过程。
