Voice 2: Second, we can find the idea of ubuntu in politics.We have already said that Desmond Tutu, an important world leader, uses the word ubuntu.He wants to help people understand their responsibilities to one another.He says that if one person is hungry, then the whole community must work together to feed him.That is the ubuntu way.
聲音2:第二,我們可以在政治上發現烏班圖的理念。我們已經說過,一位重要的世界領袖德斯蒙德·圖圖使用了“烏班圖”這個詞。他想幫助人們理解他們對彼此的責任。他說,如果一個人餓了,那么整個社區必須齊心協力為他提供食物。這就是烏班圖的方式。
Voice 1: And former President Bill Clinton also talks about ubuntu in politics.This is his idea about what ubuntu means.
聲音1:前總統比爾·克林頓也談到了政治中的烏班圖。以下是他對烏班圖含義的理解。
Voice 6: “If we were the most beautiful, the most intelligent, the most wealthy, the most powerful person, and then found, all of a sudden, that we were alone on the planet, it would not amount to a hill of beans!”
聲音6:“如果我們是最美麗、最聰明、最富有、最有權勢的人,然后卻突然發現,我們在這個星球上孤身一人,那這一切將毫無價值!”
Voice 2: President Clinton means that nothing holds much importance if we are alone.What are beauty, intelligence, and wealth if we live alone? Living in community is what gives us wealth.Political governments can help make communities stronger.
聲音2:克林頓總統的意思是,如果我們孤身一人,那么沒有什么會是非常重要的。如果我們獨自生活,美貌、智慧和財富會是什么呢?社區生活給我們帶來財富。政治性政府可以幫助社區變得更強大。
Voice 1: Third, people are using ubuntu ideas in their communities.For example, many people in South Africa have AIDS.Sometimes people with AIDS find that their communities reject them.Many people in their communities are afraid of getting AIDS themselves.But, fear of others is not part of ubuntu.So, one community has built a large sign.The sign says, “My friend with AIDS is still my friend—Ubuntu!”
聲音1:第三,人們在他們的社區中使用烏班圖理念。例如,許多南非人患有艾滋病。有時艾滋病患者會發現他們的社區排斥他們。他們社區的許多人害怕自己感染艾滋病。但是,害怕別人不是烏班圖的一部分。所以,有一個社區建了一個很大的標牌。牌子上寫著:“我的艾滋病朋友仍然是我的朋友——烏班圖!”
Voice 2: Fourth, ubuntu is an important idea in the work place.The work place is like a small community.When you start a new job, it is like being loyal to a new community.And your happiness at work is linked to the happiness of the people you work with.Workplaces that support ubuntu make sure that every person has value.And everyone is included in decision making.
聲音2:第四,烏班圖是工作場所的一個重要理念。工作場所就像一個小社區。當你開始一份新工作時,就像是忠于一個新的社區。你在工作中的幸福感與你的同事的幸福感息息相關。支持烏班圖的工作場所確保每個人都有價值。每個人都參與決策過程。
