George Wallace was born in the year 1919, in the dirt-poor back country of southeastern Alabama, in a town called Clio, or Clio, the goddess of history -- and what history George Wallace made!
乔治·华莱士 (George Wallace) 于 1919 年出生在阿拉巴马州东南部一个极其贫穷的偏远乡村,一个名叫克里奥 (Clio) 的小镇,或者说历史女神克里奥 (Clio),而乔治·华莱士 (George Wallace) 创造了多么伟大的历史!
What a turbulent, tragic path he blazed in the politics of twentieth-century America.
他在二十世纪美国政治中开辟了一条多么动荡、悲惨的道路。
At its simplest, his story might seem a raw chronicle of politics at the lowest level -- hypocrisy, opportunism, graft, and most repugnant of all, rampant exploitation of racism.
最简单地说,他的故事似乎是最低层政治的原始编年史——虚伪、机会主义、贪污,以及最令人厌恶的对种族主义的猖獗剥削。
But very little is ever simple and the story of George Wallace is no exception.
但没有什么是简单的,乔治·华莱士的故事也不例外。
At the start of his political rise, he was a liberal, indeed, he was considered the one of the most liberal judges in Alabama, a moderate on racial issues.
在政治崛起之初,他是一名自由主义者,事实上,他被认为是阿拉巴马州最自由的法官之一,在种族问题上是温和派。
He got his first notoriety with his fists, as a bantam-weight boxer at age 16.
16 岁时,他作为一名最轻量级拳击手,第一次因拳头而声名狼藉。
Even later, as governor and a candidate for the presidency, the jut of the jaw and lower lip gave him the look of someone always spoiling for a fight.
甚至后来,当了州长和总统候选人后,突出的下巴和下嘴唇让他看起来总是一副好斗的样子。
More than anything he loved the limelight and was driven by a hunger for power.
他最喜欢成为众人瞩目的焦点,并对权力充满渴望。
Playing to racial prejudice, he would fan a fire of rage for which countless men, women, and children paid a dreadful price.
他煽动种族偏见,煽动愤怒之火,无数男人、女人和儿童为此付出了可怕的代价。
More than two thousand years ago, Aristotle warned that democracies are most commonly corrupted by the "insolence" of demagogues.
两千多年前,亚里士多德警告说,民主国家最常因煽动者的“无礼”而腐败。
Was George Wallace, as many who knew him believe, a fundamentally decent man who would say anything to get elected?
乔治·华莱士是否像许多认识他的人所相信的那样,是一个本质上正派的人,为了当选可以说任何话?
Or was he just a plain, old-fashioned, dyed-in-the-wool demagogue?
或者他只是一个朴素、守旧、不折不扣的煽动家?

The city auditorium is packed with sweaty, jostling bodies and two little blond-haired boys try hard not to get stepped on as their momma, holding tight to their hands, steers them through the cheering crowd, a band is playing Dixie and someone is waving a Confederate battle flag, back and forth, back and forth.
市礼堂里挤满了汗流浃背、推搡的人,两个金发小男孩努力不被踩到,他们的妈妈紧紧握住他们的手,引导他们穿过欢呼的人群,一支乐队正在演奏迪克西,有人来回挥舞着南方邦联的战旗。

The arrest three years earlier of Rosa Parks in Montgomery for refusing to give up her bus seat to a white man, had grown into a Negro boycott of the city’s segregated buses, and had given rise to a mass movement for civil rights, led by a young minister named Martin Luther King, Jr. The protest left white Alabamians feeling under siege.

乔治·华莱士:在我们国家,这是悲伤的一天,你甚至不能在晚上甚至白天在你的社区行走,因为在过去的几年里,两个国家政党都向在旧金山、洛杉矶和全国各地的街道上漫步的每一个无政府主义者团体卑躬屈膝。

我记得在 1968 年,尼克松说,你知道,利用外交、政治和其他技巧,“我们将结束战争并赢得越南的和平”,我们有这样的表述。

TRAMMELL: People would just, want to just leave the cotton fields early in the afternoon and get to the television and send whatever dollars they had, right into the campaign headquarters.
特拉梅尔:人们只是想在下午早些时候离开棉田,走到电视前,将他们拥有的所有美元直接送到竞选总部。

这并没有反映到我们国家任何其他地区的人民身上。
CARTER: Day after day, white Southerners looked at the television and what did they see?
卡特:南方白人日复一日地看电视,他们看到了什么?
They saw a kind of morality play in which there were the heroic, the civil rights activists, and these horrific bestial, violent white Southerners.
他们看到了一种道德剧,其中有英雄、民权活动家,也有这些可怕的野兽、暴力的南方白人。
And now you have George Wallace, standing up, standing up for America, he says, but really standing up for white Southerners.

What is important is not, so much winning as it is being a fighter, standing up, defending your rights, showing how tough you are and, and in a sense, getting Americans to respect you.
重要的不是胜利,而是成为一名斗士,挺身而出,捍卫自己的权利,展示自己的坚强,并在某种意义上让美国人尊重你。
GEORGE WALLACE: And in school lunchrooms throughout the country where public funds are involved they’ve held that as a result of this decision that little children cannot even bow their heads and say, "God is great, God is good." It violates the Constitution, they say.
乔治·华莱士:在全国各地涉及公共资金的学校午餐室中,他们认为,由于这一决定,小孩子甚至无法低下头说:“上帝是伟大的,上帝是良善的。”他们说,这违反了宪法。
Well, whoever heard of any such interpretation of the Constitution of our country?
那么,谁听说过我国宪法有这样的解释呢?
Those are the things that the average man in this country is sick and tired of.
这些是这个国家的普通人已经厌倦的事情。
BUCHANAN: There was a tremendous counter revolution to what the Supreme Court was doing in the 50s and early 60s with its decisions on school prayer, and its decisions on integration, and its decisions later on, on abortion and things like that.
布坎南:最高法院在 50 年代和 60 年代初所做的事情发生了一场巨大的反革命,它做出了关于学校祈祷的决定,关于融合的决定,以及后来关于堕胎等问题的决定。
And what Governor Wallace did, Governor Wallace was the first to hit these directly head-on to pick up on these issues and address these concerns of middle America And he became really the tribune of middle America, the tribune of the people.
华莱士州长所做的事情是,华莱士州长是第一个直接正面攻击这些问题并解决美国中部的这些问题的人,他真正成为美国中部的论坛,人民的论坛。
TRAMMELL: The people that really believed in Wallace were the people that he would term as the rednecks, the wool hats, the hayseed, the footlog walkers, the square dancers, the guitar pickers.
特拉梅尔:真正相信华莱士的人是他所说的乡巴佬、羊毛帽人、干草籽人、步行者、广场舞者、吉他手。
They did believe that, uh, somewhere out of the ranks of the poor people, that, uh, some person would ultimately rise and represent their thoughts, their ideas, and their wants and their wishes.
他们确实相信,呃,在穷人行列之外的某个地方,呃,有些人最终会崛起并代表他们的思想、想法、需求和愿望。
And George Wallace was the man.
乔治·华莱士就是这样的人。
TURNIPSEED: He’d say "You ever heard of Mountain Brook, Alabama?" And they’d say, "No, Geor-- Governor, tell us about it." And he said, "Well, Mountain Brook is an all lily-white town.
萝卜籽:他会说“你听说过阿拉巴马州的布鲁克山吗?”他们会说:“不,乔治州长,请告诉我们这件事。”他说:“嗯,布鲁克山是一座全是百合花白色的小镇。
It’s over across the mountain from Birmingham.
它位于伯明翰的山对面。
You know, Birmingham, as you know, has got all the steel mills and all.
你知道,伯明翰拥有所有的钢铁厂等等。
And, and you got the blue collar working class people there and, of course, they’re faced with their schools, their kids being bussed from here there to yonder to kingdom come to integrate the schools." And he says, "But you take the fellows, that, that-- the executives of the mills, the big shots of the mills, they get into air-conditioned Cadillacs and their chauffeurs drive on back up to Mountain Brook where the average home is worth about $300,000 a piece and some of the homes have 15 bathrooms in ‘em." [laughs] And he says, "And they drive up there and they sit up there at the Country Club, the Mountain Brook Country Club, and they got these little martinis and they hold their little fingers up in the air, and they sip on the martinis.
而且,那里有蓝领工人阶级,当然,他们面临着自己的学校,他们的孩子被从这里乘公共汽车到那里,再到王国来整合学校。”他说,“但是你带着这些人,那个,那个——工厂的高管,工厂的大人物,他们开着空调凯迪拉克,他们的司机开车回到布鲁克山,那里的平均房屋价值约为每间 30 万美元,有些房屋有 15 个浴室。” [笑]他说,“他们开车到那里,坐在乡村俱乐部,布鲁克山乡村俱乐部,他们喝了这些小马提尼酒,他们把小手指举在空中,喝着马提尼酒。
And you know what they say?
你知道他们说什么吗?
‘Oh, we’ve got to be progressive, we’ve got to have some of this integration, says, it’s good.’ You know, to bus your children from here to there to kingdom come and back again and guess where their children go to school?
“哦,我们必须进步,我们必须进行一些整合,说,这很好。”你知道,用巴士载着你的孩子从这里到那里到王国来再回来,猜猜他们的孩子在哪里上学?
To all-white private schools up in Mountain Brook." CARTER: And George Wallace forces Americans, uh, to look at the, the arguments that he has, simply because of the political power that he gradually accumulates.
布鲁克山的全白人私立学校。”卡特:乔治·华莱士迫使美国人,呃,审视他所拥有的论点,仅仅是因为他逐渐积累的政治权力。
As the electorate moves up from 8% to 10% to finally by October of 1968, about 22, 23% of the American voters say they support George Wallace for president.
随着选民比例从 8% 上升到 10%,最终到 1968 年 10 月,大约有 22%、23% 的美国选民表示他们支持乔治·华莱士竞选总统。
NARR: The election for president was only a month away.
纳尔:距离总统选举只有一个月了。
But George Wallace’s popularity was about to be dealt a staggering blow.
但乔治·华莱士的人气即将受到沉重打击。
TRAMMELL: George Wallace said, "Seymore, I’m gonna tell you who we need as a vice-presidential running mate.
特拉梅尔:乔治·华莱士说:“西莫尔,我要告诉你我们需要谁作为副总统竞选搭档。
That is General Curtis LeMay.
那是柯蒂斯·李梅将军。
Because just think, Seymore, we can get all of the veterans voting for us." NARR: A former Air Force Chief of Staff, General LeMay was a favorite of the political right.
因为只要想想,西莫尔,我们就能让所有退伍军人投票给我们。”纳尔:勒梅将军是前空军参谋长,是右翼政治人物的宠儿。
But his blunt manner especially on the subject of nuclear warfare had earned him a reputation as a "loose cannon." With the outspoken general at his side, George Wallace introduced to the national press his choice for vice president.
但他的直率态度,特别是在核战争问题上,为他赢得了“松散的大炮”的声誉。在这位直言不讳的将军的陪伴下,乔治·华莱士向全国媒体介绍了他对副总统的选择。
GEORGE WALLACE: General LeMay spent 37 years in the service of his country.
乔治·华莱士:李梅将军为国家服务了 37 年。
One of the outstanding characteristics that I admire greatly is his willingness to speak his mind.
我非常钦佩的突出特点之一是他愿意说出自己的想法。
Well, about the first or second question out of the box was Jack Nelson, who represented the "LA Times." NELSON: Uh, I asked General LeMay about his statements concerning dropping the H-bomb, you know, in a, in a war.
好吧,关于第一个问题或第二个问题是《洛杉矶时报》的代表杰克·尼尔森。纳尔逊:呃,我向李梅将军询问了他关于在战争中投放氢弹的言论。
NARR: Anticipating such questions from the press and fearing a potential gaff, Wallace’s staff had carefully prepared LeMay.
纳尔:华莱士的工作人员预料到媒体会提出此类问题,并担心可能出现失误,因此为勒梅做好了仔细的准备。
JONES: We spent the night with LeMay, telling him, "Stay off of nuclear warfare and those type of things." If you get asked a question like that, fluff it off and say, "That has nothing to do with George Wallace and me running for president and vice president." NARR: But the trait Wallace and LeMay shared of plain-speaking was about to go nuclear.
琼斯:我们和勒梅一起过夜,告诉他“远离核战争和类似的事情。”如果你被问到这样的问题,那就敷衍地说:“这与乔治·华莱士和我竞选总统和副总统无关。”纳尔:但是华莱士和勒梅所共有的直言不讳的特质即将成为核心。
Reporter [off camera]: As a potential vice-president, what would be your policy in the employment of nuclear weapons?
记者[镜头外]:作为潜在的副总统,您在核武器的使用方面有何政策?
LeMay: Well, we seem to have a-- uh, I’ll take the nuclear weapons section first.
勒梅:嗯,我们似乎有——呃,我首先讨论核武器部分。
We seem to have a phobia about nuclear weapons.

TURNIPSEED: He was drawn into a long conversation about nuclear weaponry and the tests that had been done with the hydrogen bombs out in the South Pacific and so forth.
TURNIPSEED:他陷入了一场关于核武器和在南太平洋进行的氢弹试验等方面的长谈。
LeMay: The rats were supposed to be vaporized inside of this fireball.

But, uh, the rats out there are bigger, fatter and healthier than they ever were before.
但是,呃,那里的老鼠比以前更大、更胖、更健康。
TURNIPSEED: And Governor Wallace was standing over on the side, kind of looking, and just kind of shrinking up, you could tell he wanted to get out of there.
TURNIPSEED:华莱士州长站在一边,看起来有点收缩,你可以看出他想离开那里。
LeMay: I don’t believe the world will end if we explode a nuclear weapon.
李梅:我不相信如果我们爆炸核武器世界就会毁灭。
But, on the other hand, I don’t want to explode one unless we have to.
但是,另一方面,除非必要,否则我不想引爆一个。
As a matter of fact, I don’t want to stick a rusty knife into anybody’s belly until I have to, either.
事实上,除非万不得已,我也不想把一把生锈的刀插进任何人的肚子里。
JONES: Wallace was so mad, and he would not let me -- "he" being Wallace -- would not let me stop the durn news conference.
琼斯:华莱士非常生气,他不让我——“他”是华莱士——不让我阻止该死的新闻发布会。
NELSON: The governor, uh, tried to pull him away and, uh, said, "I know you folks, I know you out there from the Los Angeles Times , and the general don’t know how to handle you." GEORGE WALLACE: Uh, so, Mr. Nelson he hasn’t said anything about using nuclear weapons.
尼尔森:州长,呃,试图把他拉开,然后,呃,说,“我认识你们,我认识你们,来自《洛杉矶时报》,将军不知道如何对付你们。”乔治·华莱士:呃,纳尔逊先生,他没有说过任何有关使用核武器的事情。
And, uh …
而且,呃……
[Reporters fire off questions, "Governor, give us the peace sign."] JONES: I, I could have got it stopped and moved on, but Wallace would not let me do it.
[记者们提出问题,“州长,给我们和平标志。”]琼斯:我,我本可以让它停止并继续前进,但华莱士不让我这样做。
GEORGE WALLACE: Let General LeMay answer.
乔治·华莱士:让勒梅将军回答。
General LeMay would be glad to answer your question.
李梅将军很乐意回答你的问题。
NELSON: And the General, he decided that he was not gonna be denied his opportunity in the sun.
尼尔森:将军,他决定不会剥夺他在阳光下的机会。
And so, uh, you know he continued to answer a couple of questions.
所以,呃,你知道他继续回答了几个问题。
LEMAY: If I found it necessary, I would use anything that we could dream up.
LEMAY:如果我发现有必要,我会使用任何我们能想到的东西。
Anything that we could dream up, including nuclear weapons, if it was necessary.
任何我们能想到的东西,包括核武器,如果有必要的话。
Reporter [off camera]: Is it possible to win a nuclear war, general?
记者[镜头外]:将军,有可能赢得核战争吗?
Aide: General, we’ve got to go.
助手:将军,我们该走了。
LEMAY: No, I’ll answer that.
勒梅:不,我会回答这个问题。
I don’t think it’s possible for anybody to win-- NELSON: I mean it was a hilarious situation in a way.
我认为任何人都不可能获胜——尼尔森:我的意思是,从某种程度上来说,这是一个很搞笑的情况。
But it was also kind of devastating.
但这也是毁灭性的。
By the time that all of the networks ran it that evening as the lead on their program, and all the papers the next morning had the headlines on page one, uh, he’d began to go down in the polls.
那天晚上,当所有电视网都将其作为节目的主角时,第二天早上所有报纸都在第一版上刊登了头条新闻时,呃,他的民意调查开始下降。
JONES: I don’t, uh, blame Nelson.
琼斯:我不,呃,责怪尼尔森。
If I’d been sitting out there, and I’ve reported a little bit in my life, I, I may have asked the same question.
如果我一直坐在那里,并且我在我的生活中做了一些报道,我,我可能会问同样的问题。
It was funny, really, when it was all over, a year or so later.
大约一年后,当一切结束时,这真的很有趣。
Wasn’t very funny that day.
那天不太好笑。
NARR: The press conference earned Wallace and LeMay the nickname the "Bombsey Twins." Voters who had been cautiously leaning toward Wallace began slipping away.
纳尔:这次新闻发布会为华莱士和勒梅赢得了“邦西双胞胎”的绰号。一直谨慎地倾向于华莱士的选民开始流失。
[Crowd chanting "Wallace must go!" repeatedly] NARR: In the end, Richard Nixon -- and not George Wallace -- would become the nation’s 37th President.
[人群高呼“华莱士必须走!”纳尔:最终,理查德·尼克松——而不是乔治·华莱士——将成为美国第 37 任总统。
GEORGE WALLACE: Great reception.
乔治·华莱士: 接待非常好。
Great reception.
很棒的接待。
NARR: But Wallace -- who had received over 10 million votes and carried five Southern states -- had come close to achieving his real goal — deadlocking the election.
纳尔:但是华莱士——他获得了超过 1000 万张选票并赢得了南方五个州——已经接近实现他的真正目标——让选举陷入僵局。
With a shift of less than one percent of the vote in just two more states -- he would have had enough electoral votes to throw the election into the House of Representatives.
只要再有两个州的选票变化不到百分之一,他就有足够的选举人票将选举提交众议院。
Wallace would have been the kingmaker -- delivering the presidency to the party most willing to embrace his issues.
华莱士本可以成为拥王者——将总统职位交给最愿意接受他的问题的政党。
[Wallace Supporters: We want Wallace!] NARR : Those issues -- and the millions of Americans who had supported him -- were not about to go away.
[华莱士支持者:我们想要华莱士!] 纳尔:这些问题——以及支持他的数百万美国人——不会消失。
[Wallace Supporters: We want Wallace!] CARTER: In 1968, uh, it is true that the heart of his support remains in the South.
[华莱士支持者:我们想要华莱士!] 卡特:1968 年,呃,确实,他的支持核心仍然在南方。
But even outside the South a large minority supports George Wallace.
但即使在南方以外,也有很大一部分人支持乔治·华莱士。
And what I think it, it, it represents is this tectonic shift in American politics that takes place in the 1960s.
我认为它代表的是 20 世纪 60 年代美国政治的结构性转变。
Race riots, the backlash against Great Society programs, uh, the divisions that are exposed by the war in Vietnam.
种族骚乱,对伟大社会计划的强烈反对,呃,越南战争暴露的分歧。
In a sense, American politics comes unwound in the 1960s.
从某种意义上说,美国政治在 20 世纪 60 年代开始放松。
Whether it’s through intuition or luck or simply being in the right place at the right time, George Wallace always seems to anticipate this.
无论是凭借直觉、运气,还是仅仅在正确的时间出现在正确的地点,乔治·华莱士似乎总是能预见到这一点。
GEORGE WALLACE: If you’ll sit down, I’ll drown that crowd out.
乔治·华莱士:如果你坐下来,我会把那群人淹没。
If you’ll just sit down, I’ll drown ‘em out.
如果你坐下来,我就会把它们淹没。
[cheers] All he needs is a good haircut.
[干杯]他所需要的只是一个好的发型。

George Wallace, the most intensely, ideological, political candidate of the 1960s, uh, ends up being shot by somebody who just wants to get his picture on the front page of "The New York Times." KENNEDY: When my friend told me that he had been shot, and I don't know how to put this without it sounding, uh, really cruel, I was relieved in a way because it was over, and I didn't have to wake up another morning and think about, if this was going to be the day.
乔治·华莱士,20 世纪 60 年代意识形态和政治最激烈的候选人,呃,最终被一个只想把他的照片放在《纽约时报》头版的人枪杀了。肯尼迪:当我的朋友告诉我他被枪杀时,我不知道如何表达才不会听起来,呃,真的很残酷,我在某种程度上松了一口气,因为一切都结束了,我不必再早上醒来去想,这是否会是这一天。

KENNEDY: The doctor sat me down, as he did the other children, one on one, and told us that he was paralyzed.
肯尼迪:医生让我坐下,就像他对待其他孩子一样,一对一地告诉我们他瘫痪了。
Well, um, that was like losing the '58 campaign, you-- he, he's not supposed to lose and he's not supposed to be this way.
嗯,嗯,这就像输掉 58 年的竞选一样,你——他,他不应该输,他不应该这样。
And how iron-- how ironic for as, as quick a man, uh, in step and in gesture and in everything else to be paralyzed for the rest of his natural life.
多么铁,多么讽刺,对于一个同样敏捷的人来说,呃,在脚步、手势以及其他一切方面,他的余生都瘫痪了。

我必须让他保持高兴和快乐,但我无法承受哀悼和哭泣以及让我的伤害和痛苦发泄出来的奢侈。
And I think it was twenty years later, before I could ever really feel the pain and hurt of what had happened to my husband.
我想二十年后,我才真正感受到发生在我丈夫身上的痛苦和伤害。
Whenever I just talked about this with people.

他们将在阿瑟·布雷默的公寓里植入麦戈文的材料,这样当调查继续进行时,在某种程度上,阿瑟·布雷默就会看起来像是乔治·麦戈文的工具。

该计划适得其反,它失败了,因为联邦调查局 (FBI)
gets there and they close off, uh, the apartment.
到达那里,他们封锁了,呃,公寓。
The very idea that the President and his advisors are planning to do this, I think, in part, reflects not only the political machinations of the White House, but it also reflects the fear that Wallace instilled in the Nixon White House.
我认为,总统及其顾问计划这样做的想法在一定程度上不仅反映了白宫的政治阴谋,而且还反映了华莱士向尼克松白宫灌输的恐惧。

GEORGE WALLACE: I can understand that people can question about my health.
乔治·华莱士:我可以理解人们可能会质疑我的健康状况。
But Franklin Roosevelt was elected four times in a wheelchair and as Al Smith said one time, "You’re not electing an acrobat." If you needed an acrobat to be president, I would not be qualified but you don’t need an acrobat to be president.
但富兰克林·罗斯福四次都是坐在轮椅上当选的,正如阿尔·史密斯有一次所说的那样,“你不是在选举一个杂技演员。”如果你需要一个杂技演员来当总统,我就没有资格,但你不需要一个杂技演员来当总统。

[笑] 格林霍:这是科妮莉亚的努力和思考,嗯,罗斯福,并在 1976 年将罗斯福模式推广到华莱士及其康复身上。
Tried to get him up and ready to go and to get ready to campaign hard and strong and have him physically able where he could lift himself up.
试图让他站起来,做好上场的准备,并准备好努力、坚强地竞选,让他的身体能够在他可以抬起自己的地方。
BUCHANAN: But for someone like Wallace whose, whose appeal really is, he’s got a tremendous amount of animal energy and dynamism.
布坎南:但是对于像华莱士这样的人来说,他的真正吸引力在于,他拥有巨大的动物能量和活力。
If you can’t stand up there on that podium, uh, it is a tremendous disadvantage.
如果你不能站在那个讲台上,呃,这是一个巨大的劣势。
JENKINS: The Florida primary was the acid test for Wallace.
詹金斯:佛罗里达州的初选对华莱士来说是严峻的考验。
It was early, I think it was a spring primary.
时间还早,我想那是春季初选。
Most of the national Democrats had decided to forego Florida because, uh, they knew that Wallace was very likely to take the state.
