What do we mean by patriotism in the context of our times? I venture to suggest that what we mean is a sense of national responsibility... a patriotism which is not short, frenzied outbursts of emotion, but the tranquil and steady dedication of a lifetime. -- Adlai E. Stevenson 鉴于我们的时代，我们所谓的爱国主义到底是什么意思？我敢说，我们的意思是一种对国家的责任感……这种爱国主义不是短暂的、 疯狂的情绪爆发，而是一生的平静和稳定的奉献。 --阿德莱·E.史蒂文森 Patriotism is a pernicious, psychopathic form of idiocy. -- George Bernard Shaw 爱国主义是一种致命的、精神错乱的白痴行为。——乔治·肖伯纳 True patriotism doesn't exclude an understanding of the patriotism of others. -- Queen Elizabeth II 真实的爱国主义不会排除而会理解不同形式的爱国主义。 --女王伊丽莎白二世 I realize that patriotism is not enough. I must have no hatred or bitterness towards anyone. -- Edith Cavell 我认识到那样的爱国主义是不够的，我还必须做到不要仇恨也不为难任何人。——伊迪丝·卡维尔 Patriotism is a arbitrary veneration of real estate above principles. -- George Jean Nathan 爱国主义是超越于原则之上的对于现阶段的一种专制的崇拜。——乔治·简·纳森 Patriotism is the willingness to kill and be killed for trivial reasons. -- Bertrand Russell 爱国主义就是乐意为了微不足道的理由去杀害而且被杀害。——勃特兰·罗素 I think patriotism is like charity -- it begins at home. -- Henry James 我认为爱国主义如同慈善——它是从家庭里开始的。——亨利·詹姆斯 Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all other countries because you were born in it. -- George Bernard Shaw 爱国主义就是你坚信这个国家比所有其他的国家都要出色，只因为你出生于斯。——乔治·肖伯纳 Patriotism: Combustible rubbish ready to the torch of any one ambitious to illuminate his name. -- Ambrose Bierce 爱国主义：一堆随时可以被任何野心家所点燃，去照亮他的名字的易燃垃圾。——安卜罗斯·皮尔斯 Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel. -- Samuel Johnson 爱国主义是一个恶棍的最后避难所。——塞缪尔·约翰逊 Patriotism, when it wants to make itself felt in the domain of learning, is a dirty fellow who should be thrown out of doors. -- Arthur Schopenhauer 爱国主义，当它由于自身的贫乏涉入认知领域时，就是一个应该被扔出门外的肮脏家伙。——阿瑟·舒本华 You will never have a quiet world until you knock the patriotism out of the human race. -- George Bernard Shaw 你绝不会有一个宁静的世界，除非你把爱国主义从人类中驱逐出去。——乔治·肖伯纳 You're not supposed to be so blind with patriotism that you can't face reality. Wrong is wrong, no matter who says it. -- Malcolm X 你不应该被爱国主义蒙蔽双眼而不能面对现实。错就是错，不管是谁说的。——马尔科姆·X Patriotism must be founded on great principals and supported by great virtue. -- Henry Bolingbroke 爱国主义必须以非常重要的而且伟大的美德作为基础。——亨利·柏林布鲁克 Yet some can be patriotic who have no self-respect, and sacrifice the greater to the less. They love the soil which makes their graves, but have no sympathy with the spirit which may still animate their clay. Patriotism is a maggot in their heads. -- Henry David Thoreau 那些没有自尊的人仍然可以是爱国的，他们可以为少数牺牲多数。他们热爱他们坟墓的污物，但他们对那种可以使他们的肉体更加生机勃勃的精神却毫无同情心。爱国主义是他们脑袋里的蛆。——亨利·大卫·梭罗 A man's country is not a certain area of land, of mountains, rivers, and woods, but it is a principle; and patriotism is loyalty to that principle. -- George William Curtis 一个人的国家不是含有土地，山脉，河流以及森林的确定区域，而是一个原则；而爱国主义就是对那个原则的忠诚。——乔治·威廉·科蒂斯 Patriotism is easy to understand in America; it means looking out for yourself by looking out for your country. -- Calvin Coolidge 爱国主义在美国是很容易理解的；它意味着用关注你自己的方式关注你的国家。——加尔文·柯立芝 I do not mean to exclude altogether the idea of patriotism. I know it exists, and I know it has done much in the present contest. But I will venture to assert, that a great and lasting war can never be supported on this principle alone. It must be aided by a prospect of interest, or some reward. -- George Washington 我无意彻底排斥爱国主义观念。我知道它存在，并且我知道它在当前的争论中起到了重要的作用。但是我敢断言，一场伟大持久的战争决不能仅仅靠这个观念来支撑。还必须借助于利益或回报的预期。——乔治·华盛顿 Nationalism is our form of incest, is our idolatry, is our insanity. "Patriotism" is its cult. It should hardly be necessary to say, that by "patriotism" I mean that attitude which puts the own nation above humanity, above the principles of truth and justice; not the loving interest in one's own nation, which is the concern with the nation's spiritual as much as with its material welfare -- never with its power over other nations. Just as love for one individual which excludes the love for others is not love, love for one's country which is not part of one's love for humanity is not love, but idolatrous worship. -- Erich Fromm 民族主义是我们的乱伦形式，是我们盲目的崇拜，是我们极端的愚蠢。“爱国主义”是邪教的迷信。毋庸置疑，我所说的 “爱国主义”态度是将自己的国家置于人性之上，置于正义与真理的原则之上；不是对某个自认国家利益的热爱，这种热爱既关注国家的精神财富也关注它的物质财富——从不以强力欺凌别国。仅仅爱一个个体而排斥对其他的爱就不是爱，不把爱某个国家作为对人性热爱的组成部分就不是爱，而是盲目的崇拜。——埃里克·弗罗姆 My country, always wrong. -- Student Slogan 我的国家，总是不公正的。——学生口号 It is sometimes necessary to lie damnably in the interests of the nation. -- Hilaire Belloc 它时常为了国家利益的需要撒弥天大谎。——海莱尔·贝洛克 When a nation is filled with strife, then do patriots flourish.-- Lao-Tzu 圣人不死，大盗不止。——老子 Many a bum show has been saved by the flag. -- George M. Cohan 许多白痴的做秀都被这面旗帜所救。——乔治·M. 科汉 It is the patriotic duty of every man to lie for his country. -- Alfred Adler 为他的国家说谎是每一个爱国者的职责。——阿尔弗雷德·阿德勒 The citizen who criticizes his country is paying it an implied tribute. -- James W. Fulbright 批评他的国家的公民是在含蓄地为国家作贡献。——詹姆斯·W. 富布莱特 A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government. -- Edward Abbey 一名爱国者必须随时准备保卫他的国家反对他的政府。——爱德华·艾比 The love of one's country is a splendid thing -- but why should love stop at the border? -- Pablo Casals 爱国是一件了不起的事情——但为什么爱要止于国界。——帕布鲁·凯瑟尔斯 God and Country are an unbeatable team; they break all records for oppression and bloodshed. -- Luis Bunuel 上帝和国家是一个无可匹敌的团队；他们打破了所有压迫和流血的纪录。——路易斯·巴纳尔 The love of their country is with them only a mode of flattering its master; as soon as they think that master can no longer hear, they speak of everything with a frankness which is the more startling because those who listen to it become responsible. -- Marquis De Custine 对他们来说，爱国不过是谄媚统治者的一种方式；只要他们认为统治者再也听不到，他们所说的一切马上就惊人地诚恳，因为那些听他们说话的人是负责任的。——卡斯汀侯爵 Whenever you hear a man speak of his love for his country, it is a sign that he expects to be paid for it. -- H. L. Mencken 任何时候当你听到一个人说他爱他的国家，这是一个信号，表明他在期待为此获得报偿。——H.L. 孟肯 To make us love our country, our country ought to be lovely. -- Edmund Burke 要让我们爱我们的国家，我们的国家应该可爱才行。——爱德蒙·柏克 My country right or wrong; when right, to keep her right; when wrong, to put her right. -- Carl Schurz 我的国家对与错；正确时，保持她的正确；错误时，改正她的错误。——卡尔·舒尔茨 |
