来个英文版的牢骚:
I see this system and on the surface
It has long been familiar to me but not
In its inner meaning! Some, a few, sit up above
And many down below and the ones on top
Shout down: ‘Come on up, then we’ll all
Be on top’, but if you look closely you’ll see
Something hidden between the ones on top and the ones below
That looks like a path but is not a path —
It’s a plank and now you can see it quite clearly
It is a seesaw, this whole system
Is a seesaw, with two ends that depend
On one another and those on top
Sit up there only because the others sit below
And only as long as they sit below;
They’d no longer be on top if the others came up
Leaving their place, so that of course
They want the others to sit down there
For all eternity and never come up.
Besides, there have to be more below than above
Or else the seesaw wouldn’t hold. A seesaw, that’s what it is.
-- Bertolt Brecht, "Saint Joan of the Stockyards"
