7、和平的人并未真正理解這種區(qū)別，因此他們的努力甚至不為自己國(guó)家的大多數(shù)人所接受。國(guó)際間的和平意味著民族間的和平，并非破壞一個(gè)民族以后的和平，就像破壞個(gè)人特性的佛教那樣。歐洲最好的時(shí)代是像基督教的天堂那般，在那里人們相親相愛；而非像印度教那樣，人們?cè)谀抢锍蔀楸舜?。關(guān)于民族特性這一點(diǎn)，可以被看作是一種稀奇的方式。我認(rèn)為總體來說，是一個(gè)人不僅僅于欣賞和景仰另一個(gè)民族的氣質(zhì)和精神，但也不至于去模仿；他會(huì)意識(shí)到其他民族文化是很難模仿的，因?yàn)橛袠O深極

8、難掌握的東西在其中。對(duì)法國(guó)著迷的英國(guó)人會(huì)嘗試著變成法國(guó)人；而敬仰著法國(guó)的英國(guó)人卻始終堅(jiān)定地有著英國(guó)的痕跡。我們英國(guó)同法國(guó)的關(guān)系需要被多加關(guān)注，因?yàn)榉▏?guó)人其中一個(gè)杰出的特點(diǎn)就是所有的邪惡都在表面上，而且他們特別的美德被封存了。你幾乎可以說他們的“惡”其實(shí)是他們的“善之花”。Thustheirobscenityistheexpressionoftheirpassionateloveofdraggingallthingsintotheligh

15、式。法國(guó)農(nóng)民的貪婪其實(shí)意味著他們的獨(dú)立。當(dāng)英國(guó)人在街頭看到的粗魯實(shí)際上是社會(huì)平等的階段。法國(guó)婦女面帶惡容與她們的責(zé)任國(guó)貴族他會(huì)模仿英國(guó)的惡習(xí)。但他甚至不明白他剽竊的惡習(xí)：尤其是他不明白，惡習(xí)在一定程度上是一種美德。他不理解那些在英語中平衡勢(shì)利和人性的元素：如英國(guó)人的善良，他們的熱情好客，他們不經(jīng)意間流露出來的詩意風(fēng)情，以及他們令人感傷的保守主義。所有這些，著實(shí)令紳士們羨慕不已。法國(guó)?；逝烧J(rèn)為英國(guó)人喜歡他們的國(guó)王。但他不明白，當(dāng)崇拜一個(gè)流

16、亡國(guó)王是多么高貴。漢諾威王朝的君主們沒有實(shí)權(quán)，造就了忠誠的英國(guó)臣民們幾乎可以與英王詹姆斯二世退位后的擁護(hù)者相媲美的騎士精神與高貴品質(zhì)。法國(guó)人認(rèn)為英國(guó)仆人是彬彬有禮的：他沒有意識(shí)到自己也不光彩的一面有一個(gè)英國(guó)的傳說，幽默而忠實(shí)的仆人，他和他的主人一樣是個(gè)人物迦勒巴爾德斯通，山姆韋勒。他看到英國(guó)人崇拜一個(gè)貴族他不允許這樣的事實(shí)：當(dāng)他不像一個(gè)貴族時(shí)，他們最崇拜一個(gè)貴族。他們喜歡對(duì)自我地位意識(shí)不強(qiáng)，且待人親切友善的貴族。主人就是仆人們的平常生活

17、，他們也樂于過這樣的生活。主人是生命，他們想要享受它在他所渴望的快樂中，沒有一種比慷慨更真誠的愿望更大的快樂，也就是在人類中撒錢，或者，用高貴的中世紀(jì)的話語，慷慨。這就是為什么一個(gè)出租車司機(jī)告訴你，如果你給他正確的票價(jià)，你就不是紳士了。不僅是他的口袋，而且他的靈魂受到了傷害。你傷了他的理想。所有的東西都是很隱晦、難以捉摸的，英國(guó)人對(duì)貴族的熱愛之中，我們很難將純粹的奴性與高尚的情操分離開來。沒有一個(gè)法國(guó)人能輕易地抓住它。他會(huì)認(rèn)為這只是簡(jiǎn)單

18、的奴性如果他喜歡，他就會(huì)成為奴隸。因此，每個(gè)英國(guó)人都必須（一開始）覺得法國(guó)的坦率只是一種殘忍。如果他喜歡，他就是個(gè)粗魯?shù)娜?。這些民族品格不應(yīng)如此容易理解。它需要多年的充分和安靜緩慢擴(kuò)大的公園橡木樹干的季節(jié)變化地窖里和餐桌上在黑暗中濃縮的紅酒，經(jīng)過幾個(gè)世紀(jì)的英國(guó)的所有生活和文化，最終產(chǎn)生英國(guó)勢(shì)利的慷慨和善良的果實(shí)。如果要使法國(guó)式的下流開出“惡之花”并為它開脫罪責(zé)的話，那就需要理解磨難錘打、街頭的小曲，理解衣衫襤褸者的“舍生取義”。Iwas
