Karl Marx
卡爾·馬克思
As a student in Bonn and Berlin, Marx was greatly influenced by the philosophy of Hegel. While Marx was impressed with the Hegelian professors under whom he studied, he ultimately found himself attracted to a group of students known as the "Young Hegelians" .
在波恩和柏林求學時，馬克思極大地受到黑格爾哲學的影響。他從師于一名研究黑格爾的教授，之后發現自己被一個稱作“年輕的黑格爾派”的學生組織所吸引。
Although Marx desired a career as an academic at the time, his political sympathies prevented him from receiving a position in the state-controlled university system. Instead, Marx turned to journalism where his radical politics attracted the attention of Prussian censors. The publication for which he worked was shut down for its politically incorrect commentary, and the frustrated Marx traveled to Paris.
盡管馬克思當時渴望研究學問，但他的政治態度使他不能從當局控制的大學中求得一職，因此馬克思轉向報紙，而他激進的政治思想吸引了普魯士當局的注意。由于“不正確”的政治評論，他所在的出版社被關閉，沮喪的馬克思只好流浪到巴黎。
Paris in 1843 was an international center of social, political, and artistic activity and the gathering place of radicals and revolutionaries from all over Europe. In Paris Marx became involved with socialists and revolutionaries. Most significantly, though, it was in Paris that Marx met Friedrich Engels, the son of a wealthy textile manufacturer in England who had become a socialist after observing the deplorable condition of workers in his father’s factories. Together, Marx and Engels began to develop the ideas which became Revolutionary Proletarian Socialism, or, as it is better known, Communism. Eventually, Marx was exiled from France in 1845 at the behest of the Prussian government for antiroyalist writings.
1843年的巴黎是社會活動、政治活動和藝術活動的國際中心，也是來自全歐洲的激進主義者和革命主義者聚集的地方。在巴黎，馬克思開始參與社會主義者和革命者的活動。最重要的是，在巴黎，馬克思遇到了恩格斯——這位英格蘭富裕的紡織工廠主的兒子。恩格斯看到父親工廠里的工人可悲的生存條件，后來成為一名社會主義者。馬克思和恩格斯一起開始發展自己的思想,后來成為無產階級社會主義，即共產主義。因為反對皇室的文章，在普魯士政府的壓力下，1845年馬克思被法國當局流放。
After leaving Paris, Marx traveled to Belgium where he became involved with a group of artisans. He attempted to assemble a ragtag group into a unified political organization, the German Working Men’s Association, which later became "The Communist League" . In 1847 the Communist League commissioned Marx and Engels to pen a statement of their beliefs and aims. This statement became the Communist Manifesto, which Marx zealously composed in anticipation the revolutions of 1848. When revolution did begin in Germany in 1848，Marx traveled to the Rhineland to encourage its progress. When the revolution failed, Marx returned to Paris but soon left for London where he would remain for the rest of his life.
離開巴黎后，馬克思來到比利時，參與到一個手工業者的團體中。馬克思想把這個松散雜亂的組織形成一個統一的政治團體——德國工人協會，后來成為共產主義者同盟。1847年，共產主義者同盟委托馬克思和恩格斯起草一份有關同盟的目標和信仰的綱領性文件，這份文件后來成為《共產黨宣言》。在宣言中，馬克思熱切地預言1848年革命。當1848年革命真的在德國展開時，馬克思來到萊茵蘭，聲援革命。當革命失敗后，馬克思回到巴黎，但很快就去了倫敦，直到去世。
Marx died in London in 1883，still awaiting the inevitable revolution which he had predicted.
1883年馬克思彌留之際，依然期待著他所預計的不可避免的革命的到來。
