But beyond that, Bryan represented a kind of reform tradition, a kind of voice of ordinary people, a voice of grassroots America that Mencken really held in contempt.
但除此之外,布莱恩代表了一种改革传统,一种普通民众的声音,一种门肯真正鄙视的美国草根的声音。
Beneath Mencken's ridicule of the ignorant hayseeds of America was a very profound suspicion of Democracy itself.
门肯对美国无知的草籽的嘲笑背后,是对民主本身的深刻怀疑。
Mencken really believed that there was a small elite of — of educated and cultivated and intelligent human beings, and then there were the masses who were really ignorant and capable of nothing but being led and bamboozled.

在他的审讯下,约翰·斯科普斯的学生承认,从他们的足球教练那里学习达尔文的进化论丝毫没有损害他们的信仰或性格。

Their star witness, Professor Maynard Metcalf, was a staunch evolutionist from Johns Hopkins University who taught Sunday school at his congregational church.
他们的明星见证人梅纳德·梅特卡夫教授是约翰·霍普金斯大学的坚定进化论者,在他的公理会教堂教授主日学。
Jim McKenzie : I think that the only thing they were down here for was to propound the theory of evolution and this was a great place to do it.
吉姆·麦肯齐:我认为他们来这里唯一的目的就是提出进化论,这是一个很好的地方。
It was right in the middle of the Bible Belt.
它就在圣经带的中间。
So here they have a golden opportunity to come down here and put on the theory of evolution in a courtroom with the greatest Fundamentalist of all, being William Jennings Bryan on the other side.
因此,他们有一个千载难逢的机会来到这里,在法庭上与最伟大的原教旨主义者威廉·詹宁斯·布莱恩(William Jennings Bryan)一起在法庭上宣讲进化论。
Narrator : Was the scientific testimony relevant to the case?
旁白:科学证词与案件相关吗?
Judge Raulston hadn't made up his mind.
劳尔斯顿法官尚未做出决定。
So when the defense called Professor Metcalf to explain evolution, he banished the jury from the courtroom.
因此,当辩方请梅特卡夫教授解释进化论时,他将陪审团逐出法庭。
Edward Larson : Even though they had clamored to be on the jury so that they could have front row seats they only were in the courtroom for a few hours during the eight-day trial.
爱德华·拉尔森:尽管他们大声疾呼要加入陪审团,以便获得前排座位,但在为期八天的审判中,他们只在法庭上呆了几个小时。

Narrator : Bryan felt confident that the jury would convict John Scopes.

As a young man Bryan had been open-minded about evolution.
布莱恩年轻时对进化论持开放态度。
To him all that mattered was that God had infused man with a soul.
对他来说,最重要的是上帝赋予了人类灵魂。
But by the turn of the century Bryan saw that certain rich and powerful men were using evolution to justify social inequality.
但到了世纪之交,布莱恩发现某些富有和有权势的人正在利用进化论来证明社会不平等的合理性。
If life on earth had evolved through survival of the fittest, they argued, why should the strong help the weak to survive?
他们认为,如果地球上的生命是通过适者生存而进化的,为什么强者要帮助弱者生存呢?
The theory came to be known as Social Darwinism.
该理论后来被称为社会达尔文主义。
Lawrence Levine : If you see a drunk in the gutter the best thing you can do is to leave him in the gutter.
劳伦斯·莱文:如果你看到一个醉汉在阴沟里,你能做的最好的事情就是把他留在阴沟里。
Because if you pull him out of the gutter and you clean him up and you let him marry another drunk, they're going to have drunk children.
因为如果你把他从阴沟里拉出来,把他清理干净,然后让他嫁给另一个醉汉,他们就会生出喝醉的孩子。
And now we're going to have five or six drunks where here we only had one or two.
现在我们将有五六个醉汉,而我们这里只有一两个。
Let them perish, that's what their fate should be.
让他们灭亡吧,这就是他们的命运。
Narrator : Then came the First World War, and Bryan saw evidence that Social Darwinism was being carried to a chilling extreme.
旁白:第一次世界大战爆发了,布莱恩看到了社会达尔文主义被推向令人毛骨悚然的极端的证据。
In a book called Headquarters Nights he read a first-hand account of the German philosophy of war — a philosophy inspired by the teachings of Friedrich Nietzsche.
在一本名为《总部之夜》的书中,他读到了德国战争哲学的第一手资料——这种哲学受到弗里德里希·尼采的教义的启发。
The German military believed it was engaged in a global battle for "the salvation of the human species." Many German officers became convinced that Germany was the super-race destined to win the so-called "evolutionary struggle for existence."
德国军方认为,他们正在进行一场“拯救人类”的全球战斗。许多德国军官开始相信,德国是注定要赢得所谓“生存进化斗争”的超级种族。
Lawrence Levine : Bryan began even on his own to see a straight line between Darwin to Nietzsche.
劳伦斯·莱文:布莱恩甚至开始独自看到达尔文和尼采之间的直线。
Nietzsche who talked about the superman.
尼采曾谈论过超人。
Nietzsche who laughed at Christianity as an ideology of slaves.
尼采嘲笑基督教是奴隶的意识形态。
Of course slaves are going to say that the weak inherit, the meek inherit the earth.
当然,奴隶们会说,弱者继承土地,温顺者继承土地。
Why shouldn't they?

They're slaves!

Eugenie Scott : The Germans during World War One and the Nazis during World War II, leaned upon a scientific idea, natural selection, to support their — their particular agendas.
尤金妮·斯科特:第一次世界大战期间的德国人和第二次世界大战期间的纳粹依靠自然选择这一科学理念来支持他们的特定议程。
But that's nothing new.
但这不是什么新鲜事。
You find people using scientific ideas, warping the scientific ideas for their particular ends, from the time that science was invented I suspect.
我怀疑从科学被发明的那一刻起,你就会发现人们使用科学思想,为了他们的特定目的而扭曲科学思想。
Narrator : Bryan believed that Social Darwinism was being promoted in the very textbook John Scopes was accused of using.
旁白:布莱恩相信约翰·斯科普斯被指控使用的教科书正在宣扬社会达尔文主义。
Edward Larson : He felt that because not only did it present a Darwinian view of evolution in general, but it also contained many of the theories that most Americans found objectionable.
爱德华·拉尔森:他认为,因为它不仅总体上呈现了达尔文的进化论观点,而且还包含了许多大多数美国人认为令人反感的理论。
Narrator: Hunter's Civic Biology used evolution to justify the selective breeding of human beings.
旁白:亨特的公民生物学用进化论来证明人类选择性繁殖的合理性。
"If the poor, the insane and the handicapped were lower animals," it said, "we would probably kill them off to prevent them from spreading.
“如果穷人、疯子和残疾人是低等动物,”它说,“我们可能会杀死他们,以防止他们蔓延。
Humanity will not allow this, but we do have the remedy of separating the sexes in asylums and in various ways preventing intermarriage and the possibilities of perpetuating such a low and degenerate race."
人类不会允许这种情况发生,但我们确实有补救措施,可以在收容所中将性别分开,并以各种方式防止异族通婚,并防止这种低下和堕落的种族长期存在。”
Eugenie Scott : The textbook that Scopes used would, by today's standards, be considered erroneous — not good science.
尤金妮·斯科特:按照今天的标准,斯科普斯使用的教科书会被认为是错误的——不是好的科学。
That's because we've learned a lot more about nature, a lot more about evolution, a lot more about human variation than was known back in 1925.
这是因为,与 1925 年相比,我们对自然、进化、人类变异有了更多的了解。
Now, we would not have made those discoveries if we had decided, oh those ideas are untouchable, we can't explore them.
现在,如果我们决定,哦,这些想法是不可触及的,我们无法探索它们,我们就不会做出这些发现。
We just have to sweep them under the rug because we don't like their social implications.
我们只能把它们隐藏起来,因为我们不喜欢它们的社会影响。
Narrator : Bryan had compiled a long list of the dangers he saw in Darwin's theory.

And so there wasn't any animosity between Darrow and my grandfather.

In fact they became big buddies as a result of this trial.
事实上,由于这次试验,他们成了好朋友。

Narrator : In the hills above Dayton, John Scopes went swimming with Bryan's son, a California attorney working with the prosecution.

Scopes described Bryan Jr. as "a pleasant fellow, on the retiring side.
斯科普斯将小布莱恩描述为“一个令人愉快的小伙子,在退休方面。
I suspect that his hardest burden was being the son of a famous man."
我怀疑他最沉重的负担是成为一个名人的儿子。”
By day five the Scopes trial had stalled out.
到第五天,斯科普斯审判陷入僵局。
Attorneys for both sides pontificated endlessly on the virtues and the evils of evolution while the jury waited outside.

Judge Raulston couldn't make up his mind.
劳尔斯顿法官拿不定主意。
Then came the moment everyone was waiting for.

Bryan went on the attack.

Evolution, he argued, removes God from the act of creation and turns man into just another animal.
他认为,进化论将上帝从创造行为中剔除,将人类变成了另一种动物。
"Parents have a right," he continued, "to say that no teacher paid by their money shall rob their children of faith in God and send them back to their homes skeptics, or infidels, or agnostics, or atheists."
“父母有权利,”他继续说道,“说任何用他们的钱付钱的老师都不会剥夺孩子对上帝的信仰,并把怀疑论者、异教徒、不可知论者或无神论者送回自己的家中。”
Lawrence Levine : Do we have, he said, a scientific Soviet that rules in the schools of Tennessee?

They don't belong here, they don't live here, they're not of the community.
他们不属于这里,他们不住在这里,他们不属于这个社区。
That was his issue.
那是他的问题。
Narrator : Then Bryan looked directly at Clarence Darrow.
旁白:然后布莱恩直视克拉伦斯·达罗。
Ideas can be dangerous, he said.
他说,想法可能是危险的。
Look what happened to Leopold and Loeb.
看看利奥波德和勒布发生了什么。
Just a year earlier, Darrow had defended two teenagers, Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb, in a sensational trial.
就在一年前,达罗在一场轰动一时的审判中为两名青少年内森·利奥波德和理查德·勒布辩护。
Kevin Tierney : They were rich, spoiled, upper-middle class kids living in Hyde Park which then was one of the most desirable of the Chicago suburbs.
凯文·蒂尔尼:他们是富有、被宠坏的中上层阶级孩子,住在海德公园,当时这里是芝加哥郊区最令人向往的地方之一。
And they committed the most horrendous abduction and then murder of a young neighbor boy by the name of Bobby Franks.

Phillip Johnson: Darrow used his usual line of argument in behalf of Loeb and Leopold.
菲利普·约翰逊:达罗用了他惯常的论点来代表勒布和利奥波德。
It wasn't their fault, nature made them do it, evolution made them do it, Nietzsche made them do it.
这不是他们的错,自然让他们这么做,进化让他们这么做,尼采让他们这么做。
They had read Nietzsche as students at the University of Chicago and his nihilistic ideas caused them to commit the murder of a neighborhood child, and so therefore they at least should not be sentenced to death for it.
他们在芝加哥大学读书时读过尼采的著作,尼采的虚无主义思想导致他们谋杀了邻居的孩子,因此他们至少不应该因此被判处死刑。
Narrator : Darrow based his closing argument on his own passionate convictions.
旁白:达罗的结案陈词基于他自己充满激情的信念。
Human beings are shaped by forces beyond their control.

He saved his clients from the death penalty.
他使他的客户免于死刑。
Paul Boyer : And Bryan in Dayton was able to say, "Look, Clarence Darrow in the Loeb-Leopold case himself showed and argued for the terrible social and moral implications of abandoning God, of abandoning traditional religion, of embracing a kind of godless view of the natural order."
保罗·博耶:代顿的布莱恩能够说,“看,克拉伦斯·达罗在勒布-利奥波德案中亲自展示并论证了放弃上帝、放弃传统宗教、接受一种无神论的自然秩序观所带来的可怕的社会和道德影响。”
Lawrence Levine : "Whose fault is it?
劳伦斯·莱文:“这是谁的错?
Is it this young Leopold boy's fault?
是这个年轻的利奥波德男孩的错吗?
A young teenage college student?
一个年轻的十几岁的大学生?
Or is it the fault of the professors who assigned him Nietzsche to read?"
还是教授们指派他读尼采的错?”
Darrow jumped up and said, "I never said any such thing." And Bryan had the transcript of the trial on his knees and quoted Darrow.
达罗跳起来说:“我从来没有说过这样的话。”布莱恩膝盖上放着审判笔录,并引用了达罗的话。
Narrator : But Darrow would have the last word.
旁白:但达罗拥有最终决定权。
Taking the transcript from Bryan, he quoted from the rest of his own speech:
布莱恩拿着笔录,引用了他自己演讲的其余部分:
"I do not believe that the universities are to blame.
“我不认为大学应该受到指责。
I do not think they should be held responsible.
我认为他们不应该承担责任。
You cannot destroy thought because some brain may be deranged by thought."
你不能摧毁思想,因为有些大脑可能会被思想搞乱。”
After listening to days of heated argument, Judge Raulston made his decision.
在听取了几天的激烈争论后,劳尔斯顿法官做出了决定。
Darrow's scientists would not be allowed to testify.
达罗的科学家不被允许作证。
The defense would be denied the chance to present the case for evolution to the jury.
辩方将被剥夺向陪审团陈述进化论理由的机会。
Ben McKenzie, Dayton, Tennessee : I think Judge Raulston succumbed to the pressure of where he was at.
本·麦肯齐,田纳西州代顿:我认为劳尔斯顿法官屈服于他所处的压力。
He knew, of course, he had to be elected.
他当然知道,他必须当选。
He knew that he was in the Bible Belt and he knew he needed to side with the Christian Movement because they were the big followers and of course the — the infidels, as the defendants were called sometimes, would not get him any votes.
他知道他身处圣经带,他知道他需要站在基督教运动一边,因为他们是大追随者,当然,异教徒(被告有时被称为异教徒)不会为他赢得任何选票。
Phillip Johnson : The judge didn't allow the scientific experts to testify but that wasn't bias.
菲利普·约翰逊:法官不允许科学专家作证,但这不是偏见。
That was his understanding of the law.
这就是他对法律的理解。
And so he thought that the only real question was whether the teacher had violated the law.
因此他认为唯一真正的问题是老师是否违反了法律。
Now in that sense what was really inappropriate about that ruling was that it was contrary to the basic point of this trial, which was to have a public debate.
从这个意义上说,这项裁决真正不恰当的地方在于,它违背了本次审判的基本点,即进行公开辩论。
Kevin Tierney : And of course that upset the apple cart from Darrow's point of view.
凯文·蒂尔尼:当然,从达罗的角度来看,这打乱了苹果车。
Narrator : "Darrow had come to Dayton to confront Bryan," said John Scopes.
旁白:“达罗来到代顿是为了与布莱恩对峙,”约翰·斯科普斯说。
"Now it seemed he would be denied the pleasure of courtroom combat."
“现在看来他将无法享受法庭战斗的乐趣了。”
There would be no more testimony — no more debate.
不会有更多的证词——不会有更多的辩论。
Even John Butler, the man who had crafted the law, was becoming frustrated.
就连法律的制定者约翰·巴特勒也变得沮丧起来。
"The judge ought to give 'em a chance to tell what evolution is," he said.
“法官应该给他们一个机会来讲述什么是进化,”他说。
"Course we got 'em licked anyhow, but I believe in being fair and square and American.
“当然,我们无论如何都被他们打败了,但我相信公平、公正和美国人。
Besides, I'd like to know what evolution is myself!"
另外,我自己也想知道什么是进化!”

Mencken sent his last story to the Baltimore Sun: "All that remains of the great cause of the State of Tennessee against the infidel Scopes," he wrote, "is the formal business of bumping off the defendant."

And then, while a crowd gathered, Darrow and the defense team called a surprise witness.
然后,当人群聚集在一起时,达罗和辩护团队传唤了一名出人意料的证人。
If Judge Raulston refused to permit an expert on evolution to testify, perhaps he would allow an expert on the Bible.
如果劳尔斯顿法官拒绝允许进化论专家作证,也许他会允许圣经专家作证。
William Jennings Bryan.
威廉·詹宁斯·布莱恩。
Phillip Johnson : The idea of the defense lawyer calling the chief prosecutor as a witness is absurd.

It's a totally inappropriate role for an advocate to play.
对于倡导者来说,这是一个完全不合适的角色。
And the judge realized this.
法官意识到了这一点。
He thought it was crazy.
他认为这太疯狂了。
The other prosecutors thought it was crazy, but Bryan thought it was an opportunity to have the debate to make his case.
其他检察官认为这很疯狂,但布莱恩认为这是一个进行辩论以证明自己观点的机会。

Eloise Reed : The courtyard was packed.
Eloise Reed:院子里挤满了人。
There were not enough seats to hold all of the people and they were standing around.
没有足够的座位容纳所有的人,他们都站着。
The benches had been set up all in front of the stand so we had a seat right in front of Darrow and Bryan.
长凳都设置在看台前面,所以我们的座位就在达罗和布莱恩的前面。
And I was all set to hear the great trial going on.

Narrator : Darrow began with a simple question.
旁白:达罗以一个简单的问题开始。
"You have given considerable study to the Bible, haven't you, Mr. Bryan?"
“你对圣经进行了大量的研究,不是吗,布莱恩先生?”
"Do you claim that everything in the Bible should be literally interpreted?"
“你是否声称圣经中的所有内容都应该按字面解释?”

Darrow is in his shirtsleeves with red suspenders, which he wore.
达罗穿着衬衫和红色背带。
He jumped up right in front of him, took hold of his red suspenders and flipped them, and said, "Do you really believe that that whale swallowed Jonah?"
他跳到他面前,抓住自己的红色背带,一翻,说道:“你真的相信那条鲸鱼吞下了约拿吗?”
Narrator : "I believe it," said Bryan, "and I believe in a God who can make a whale and can make a man and make both do what He pleases."
旁白:“我相信,”布莱恩说,“我相信有一位上帝,他可以创造鲸鱼,也可以创造人,并且可以让两者做他喜欢做的事。”
Edward Larson : "Did Joshua lengthen the day by making the sun or the earth stand still?" "Did God make Eve out of Adam's rib?"
爱德华·拉尔森:“约书亚是否通过让太阳或地球静止来延长白天?” “上帝用亚当的肋骨创造了夏娃吗?”
Now these are questions the typical village atheist questions that Clarence Darrow's father had used a half century ago.
这些问题是克拉伦斯·达罗的父亲半个世纪前使用过的典型乡村无神论者问题。
Indeed, Clarence Darrow had asked them in an open letter to William Jennings Bryan two years before and William Jennings Bryan knew enough then not to answer them.
事实上,克拉伦斯·达罗在两年前写给威廉·詹宁斯·布莱恩的公开信中曾问过他们,而威廉·詹宁斯·布莱恩当时就很清楚,没有回答他们。
Narrator : Now it was too late.
旁白:现在已经太晚了。
Under Darrow's rapid-fire assault Bryan retreated into simple answers and jokes.

在记录中,当布莱恩回答达罗的一个问题时,记录事件的人会一遍又一遍地写下“掌声……笑声”。

这很像一场体育赛事。
You know, cheering your hero.
你知道,为你的英雄欢呼。
And I think Bryan won the local battle overwhelmingly.
我认为布莱恩以压倒性优势赢得了当地的战斗。
Darrow of course understood that the real battle was being fought out nationwide, and he was playing to a larger audience.
达罗当然明白,真正的战斗正在全国范围内展开,而他正在向更多的观众表演。
Kevin Tierney : Darrow was always much more interested in discrediting Bryan than replacing Bryan's view by his own.
凯文·蒂尔尼:达罗总是对诋毁布莱恩更感兴趣,而不是用自己的观点取代布莱恩的观点。

Not six days of twenty-four hours."

“创造可能已经持续了很长一段时间?”
"Yes, Mr. Darrow.
“是的,达罗先生。
It might have continued for millions of years."
它可能持续了数百万年。”
Ronald Numbers : And finally at one point Bryan said, "It doesn't make any difference to us whether God created the world in six days, six years, six million years, or even six hundred million years."
罗纳德·数字:布莱恩最后有一次说:“上帝是否在六天、六年、六百万年,甚至六亿年之内创造了世界,对我们来说没有任何区别。”
Edward Larson : Well, that played right into the defense's hand because they said, "Well if you can interpret those things in the Bible, why can't we interpret the story of the creation of humans in an evolutionary sense?"
爱德华·拉尔森:嗯,这对辩方来说是有利的,因为他们说,“如果你能解释圣经中的那些东西,为什么我们不能从进化的意义上解释人类创造的故事呢?”
Narrator : By now the defendant in the trial had been forgotten.
旁白:现在审判中的被告已经被遗忘了。
John Scopes was in the audience filing a story for a reporter who had left town.

Finally the judge said to him, "Well, what do you mean.

We want you to put a stop to it."

"The only purpose Mr. Darrow has," he said, "is to slur at the Bible!"
“达罗先生的唯一目的,”他说,“就是诽谤圣经!”
"I object," Darrow shot back.
“我反对,”达罗反驳道。
"I am examining your fool ideas that no intelligent Christian on earth believes!"

Paul Boyer : As so often happens, the issues of the trial which were already extremely simplified and extremely black and white were even further simplified as the media reported the trial and reported this final debate.
保罗·博耶:正如经常发生的那样,随着媒体对审判的报道和最后的辩论的报道,审判中原本已经极其简单化、极其黑白分明的问题变得更加简单化。
The media likes winners and losers and the general media saw this very much as Darrow's triumph and Bryan's humiliation.
媒体喜欢胜利者和失败者,一般媒体认为这是达罗的胜利和布莱恩的耻辱。
Narrator : On the eighth day of the trial, it was time for prosecution and defense to deliver their closing arguments.

经过仅仅九分钟的审议后,陪审团宣布他做到了。
Then the defendant himself spoke for the first time.

"Your honor," Scopes said.

布莱恩赢得了这场官司,但当他向媒体发表讲话时,他听起来并不那么得意。
