听证会上指认报复动机:made mincemeat out of

听证会上,希尔作证说大多数科学家都希望斯特劳斯离开政府:奥本海默这件事 largely through the animus of Lewis Strauss(多半出自斯特劳斯的敌意),因为奥本海默当年 made mincemeat out of(驳得体无完肤)他的立场,斯特劳斯一直记恨。想学作证、指名道姓指责的说法,这段最硬。

发生了什么

这是斯特劳斯任命听证会上的一段。希尔被请来作证,先承认对方多年的服务,随即话锋一转:大多数科学家 prefer to see Mr. Strauss completely out of government(希望斯特劳斯彻底离开政府)。理由不是安全问题,而是 the personal vindictiveness he demonstrated against Dr. Oppenheimer(他对奥本海默表现出的私人报复心);他说这件事 largely through the animus of Lewis Strauss(多半出自斯特劳斯的敌意),因为奥本海默当年 made mincemeat out of(驳得体无完肤)他的立场、让斯特劳斯当众受辱。想学作证、揭动机、当众指责的说法,这段很硬。

看懂「听证会上指认报复动机」

发音重点

  • personal vindictiveness — personal 重音在 per,vindictiveness 主重音落在 dic 上,两个重音一前一后,说的时候节奏别塌。
  • pilloried and put through an ordeal — pilloried 的重音在 pil 上,put through an ordeal 一句稳稳接住,ordeal 的重音压到 deal。
  • made mincemeat out of — mincemeat 末尾的辅音和 out 连读,out 又和 of 粘在一起,整串听起来像 mincemea-dow-təv。
No board in this country should sit in judgment of a man because he expressed strong opinions.

这个国家不该有任何委员会因为一个人表达了强烈观点就审判他。 把个人遭遇上升为制度原则,用 shouldn't 划出底线,一句辩护同时是控诉。

If you want to try that case, you should try me.

你们要审这个案子,就该审我。 主动坐上被告席,既是担当也是控诉,短句有把人逼到墙角的力量。

The Oppenheimer matter was initiated and carried through largely through the animus of Lewis Strauss.

奥本海默这件事,从头到尾主要是斯特劳斯的敌意推动的。 把冠冕堂皇的程序还原成一个人的私怨,主语一换,整场听证的性质就变了。

Strauss turned to the personnel security system in order to destroy Oppenheimer's effectiveness,

斯特劳斯动用了人事安全体系,目的就是摧毁奥本海默的影响力。 一句话点破整场听证的本质:安全审查被当成了清算的工具。

关于这一章的问题

the animus of 是什么意思?

意思是「某人的敌意、恶意」,多指深藏又持久的。台词里说这件事 largely through the animus of Lewis Strauss,就是多半出自斯特劳斯的敌意。

「驳得体无完肤」英语怎么说?

可以说 make mincemeat out of。台词里 made mincemeat out of Strauss's position 就是「把斯特劳斯的立场驳得体无完肤」,画面感很强。

sit in judgment of 是什么意思?

意思是「对某人作出审判、站在评判者的位置上」。台词里说没有任何委员会该 sit in judgment of 一个人,只因为他表达了强烈意见。

pilloried 是什么意思?

意思是「被公开羞辱、当众嘲骂」。台词里说奥本海默现在 being pilloried,就是被舆论公开羞辱,还连带经受一场折磨。

希尔说奥本海默为什么被整?

他说这事 largely through the animus of Lewis Strauss,斯特劳斯没原谅当年被驳斥的羞辱,于是借人事安全审查制度去摧毁奥本海默的影响力。
