Have you heard of Norman Bethune?

你听说过诺尔曼·白求恩吗?

评论翻译
Asked by a Chinese here. Norman Bethune has been the most widely known Canadian in communist China for a few generations (maybe more young people nowadays know Justine Bieber though). In China everyone learn about how selfless and great he is, how he devoted himself to the communist cause until his death. This is part of our school curriculum. So I’m just curious about his reputation in his own country. Have you heard of Norman Bethune? In what context?

中国人来问一下。诺尔曼·白求恩是共产主义中国几代人最广为人知的加拿大人了(或许现在更多的年轻人认识的是贾斯丁比伯了吧)。在中国,每个人都学过他的无私和伟大,他是如何将自己献给共产主义事业直到离世的,这是我们学校课程的一部分。所以我很好奇他在自己祖国的声誉如何。你们听说过诺尔曼·白求恩吗?在哪里听到的?

There is a small monument to him in Gravenhurst Ontario,Canada ,although he is not really well known here.

加拿大安大略省的格雷文赫斯特有一座小纪念碑,尽管他在这里不算真的很出名。

There is another statue of him in Montreal, interesting …

蒙特利尔也有他的另一座雕像,很有趣……

BobbyKnightRider
He worked in Montreal during the Depression, before going to Spain and then China to treat people on the front lines.

他在大萧条期间在蒙特利尔工作过,然后去了西班牙和中国治疗那里前线上的人们。

There used to be plaque in his name, in Royal Victoria Hospital's lobby, back when it was up on the hill.

在皇家维多利亚医院还在山上的时候,大厅里有一个纪念牌上刻着他的名字。

Forget the political angle, he saved a lot of lives.

放下政治角度不谈,他拯救了很多生命。

BobbyKnightRider
Also did groundbreaking work on blood transfusion as a lifesaving trauma treatment.

在将输血应用为创伤救护疗法这方面,他也做了突破性的工作。

BobBelcher2021
I believe they also have a museum

我记得他们还有个博物馆。

AngeloPappas
It’s actually his home and they have added a small museum to it.

其实是他生前的家,他们在旁边建了一个小博物馆。

tangcameo
Have a couple of the bios. Have seen the old tv movie and the film, both portrayed by Donald Sutherland who was obsessed with him

有几步自传影视剧。我看过老电视剧和电影,都是唐纳德·萨瑟兰演的,他很喜欢白求恩。

Puzzleheaded_Arm_847
Norman Bethune is always a reminder to me that even though I may disagree with someone's politics they can be a great person and do amazing things.

诺尔曼·白求恩永远提醒着我,就算我或许不认同某人的政治观点,这个人仍然可能是很伟大的人,可能会做出很牛逼的事情。

Fabulous_Night_1164
Yes I know him, and my colleagues who like history and politics know him as well because the topic came up while discussing Canada and China.

没错我知道他,我的那些喜欢历史和政治的同事们也知道他,因为讨论起加拿大和中国的时候就会提起这个话题。

Despite being a communist, my understanding was that he treated wounded Japanese and Kuomintang alike. And honestly that's the most respectable thing.

尽管是个共产主义者,据我所知他对于手上的日本人和国民党一视同仁。并且说实话这才是最值得尊重的。

I'm pretty certain Ontario history curriculum quickly glances over him. People who like Canadian history or politics will know him.

我很确定安大略省的历史课教学大纲里会简短地介绍他。那些喜欢加拿大历史或政治的的人会认识他。

TheCommies-backp
Went to school in Ontario and never heard of him, interesting

在安大略上的学,从来没听说过他,很有趣

Top-Manner7261
He may not be well known now adays, but was a Dr. and social activist. I had heard of him. There are places named after him...

或许今天他没那么为人所知了,但他曾是一位医生,也是位社会活动家。我听说过他,有很多地方以他的名字命名……

Swimming_Stop5723
There was a mini series on him on television.I know he is widely admired in China . Most Canadians do not know about him.

曾经拍过一部关于他的迷你电视剧。我知道他在中国广受爱戴。但绝大多数加拿大人并不熟悉他。

Fluffy-Opinion871
Younger Canadians don’t know him. He definitely was a humanitarian. Don’t have to like his politics. He treated people that needed medical care.

年轻的加拿大人并不熟悉他。他绝对是一个人道主义者。不一定非得喜欢他的政治观点。他会治疗那些需要医疗的人。

I'm 50. Never heard about him in school ever. I only know of him thanks to The history channel. Like 20 years ago when they played shows about Actual history on that garbage station.

我今年50岁了,上学的时候从来没听说过他。我是通过历史频道了解到他的。差不多20年前吧,那个垃圾电视台还在播出真实的历史的节目。

GingerBeast81
I vaguely remember something about him, maybe from one of those history clips on TV from 30 years ago? I'm also picturing Donald Sutherland for some reason.

我好像记得关于他的一些事情,或许是30年前电视台上的历史节目片段上记住的?不知道为什么,我脑子里的形象也是唐纳德·萨瑟兰。

juancuneo
I think it depends on your age and whether he was discussed in school. If you graduated before 2000 Communism was the great story of our day and his would come up. After 2001 the world started looking at other conflicts.

我感觉这取决于你年级多大,以及他在学校有没有被讨论。如果你是毕业于2000前,那共产主义还是我们当时说的最多的故事,他就会被提起来。2001年之后,全世界都开始关注其他冲突了。

Heavy_Chains
Yeah he was a great man. Side note, I went to summer camp with one of his descendants and he was a rude little shit LOL

听说过,他是个很伟大的人。顺便一提,我和他的一位后代去过夏令营,他人就是个不讲礼貌的小臂崽子哈哈哈

fieldworking
Tbh, Bethune isn’t remembered for his politeness and bedside manner, either.

有一说一,白求恩自己也不是因为讲文明懂礼貌而被大伙记住的。

tonydanzatapdances
I had a principal with the last name Bethune and grew up in the area, I assume he was related. Fuck that guy he was an asshole lmao.

我有个姓白求恩、在那片地方长大的校长,我猜他也是个后代。他妈的那人就是个混蛋哈哈哈哈

But also yay Norman Bethune

但是诺尔曼·白求恩万岁!

Lebowski420ish
Yes Im aware of him. I'm not Chinese and grew up in Saskatchewan of Ukrainian descent. During the late 1970s and 1980s he was moderately well known by the Canadian general public and mentioned in the media from time to time because the Chinese cultural revolution had ended and China was opening up to the world. He was used as a bit of a symbolic cultural ambassador/bridge for both governments as relations were thawing. As I recall a movie was even made about him that starred Donald Sutherland.

没错,我也知道他。我不是中国人,我在萨斯克切万省长大,是乌克兰后裔。在上世纪70年代末、80年代初,加拿大大众还是很了解他的,并且媒体上也提到过他,因为中国的文化大革命结束了,改革开放正在让中国对世界打开大门。当时两国政府都在用他来作为关系破冰时的文化大使和沟通桥梁。我没记错的话,有一部关于他的电影,是唐纳德·萨瑟兰主演。

At this point he is less well known and I'm going to guess that his historically legacy to Canadian's is likely diminished because he is so closely associated with and tied to current CCP/Canada relations.

现在了解他的人变少了,我猜他给加拿大的历史遗产也会逐渐消逝,因为他和现在的中加关系联系太紧密了。

Lonely_orca
He was very briefly mentioned in our history class. Had to google him to remember him.

我们的历史课上曾经非常简短地提到过他,我得谷歌一下才能想起他是谁。

His involvement in the Chinese revolution is probably why he is more known in China. Conversely, anyone involved with Communism would have been sidelined from history books in Canada during the Cold War.

或许他在中国革命中扮演的角色才是他在中国更广为人知的原因。相对的,在冷战期间的加拿大,任何卷入了共产主义的人物都会被靠边站。

Maybe top 1000 most known Canadians?

或许算得上最知名的加拿大人前1000名?

PineappleCharming335
TBF if he’s been taught in school curriculum to 2 billion Chinese he’s probably amongst the top 10 most known Canadians

说实话,如果二十亿中国人的学校课本里都有他,那我估计他应该算是最知名的前10个加拿大人了。

punkanddrunk
He is the real father of socialized medicine in Canada. I don't believe I ever learned about him in school, but I wasn't a good student.

他是加拿大社会化医药的真正创始人。我不认为自己在学校学到过关于他的故事,但我本来也不是个好学生。

No way would a Canadian school ever teach a honest lesson about Communism.

加拿大的学校是不可能真诚地教育有关共产主义的内容的。

rerek
I know a fair bit about Bethune or Bai Qui en as my mother’s good friend lived at the Gravenhurst home for some time before it was made into a public museum and wrote the initial materials used as pamphlets and displays for the public there (at the time he was working on his PhD).

我对白求恩稍微有所耳闻,我妈有个好朋友在白求恩的格莱文赫斯特旧居住过一段时间,那是在那里改成公共博物馆之前,他还写了最开始用于展出和宣传的材料(当时他还在读自己的博士学位)。

My parents were also among the first public groups to tour China when it opened up and my Mother had to help out the Chinese government appointed guides to explain the monument to the Revolutionary Martyrs in Nanjing to the tour group when the half that were Americans seemed unable to understand and also explain Bethune and the connection between Canada and China formed thanks to his work.

我父母也是中国改革开放时第一批前往中国旅行的人,我妈妈得帮助由中国政府制定的导游一起向旅客们解释南京的革命烈士纪念碑,旅游团有一半都是无法理解的美国人,此外她还解释了白求恩做的事情,以及他给加拿大与中国两国带来的连接。

Smackolol
36, I don’t know who he is, my school curriculum in Alberta did have a focus on “Communism=bad capitalism=good” in 10th or 11th grade.

今年36岁。我不认识他是谁,我们阿尔伯塔的学校教学大纲在10年级或者11年级的时候,会着重讲“共产主义不好,资本主义好”这件事。

aethelberga
One of my high school teachers was an expert on Bethune, and had even written a couple of books about him.

我高中有个老师是白求恩的专家,甚至写过几本关于他的书。

okaybutnothing
Only because York University has a Bethune College that was next to the residence I lived in (Stong) and at a certain point, after we answered the question, “What’s a Stong?” We moved on to, “What’s a Bethune?”

只因为约克大学有个白求恩学院,就挨着我住的斯通学院的旁边,于是在我们问完了“斯通是啥玩意儿啊?”之后,我们就开始问,“白求恩是啥玩意儿啊?

RavenmoonGreenParty
Yes. I just did the Terry Fox Run and everyone was speaking about how he was the only Canadian hero. What about Dr. Norman Bethune?

我也认识。我刚跑了一次慈善路跑活动,所有人都在说创办者泰瑞福克斯是加拿大唯一的英雄。那诺尔曼·白求恩医生呢?

In 1990, I watched the Bethune movie, played by Donald Sutherland. Amazing!

在1990年,我看了白求恩的电影,由唐纳德·萨瑟兰主演。令人赞叹!

I became a teacher and I do teach his legacy, but I may be the only one.

此后我成为了一名老师,我还在给学生们讲他的故事,但或许我是唯一一个。

I wish I had a chance to see his childhood home in Gravenhurst, Ontario when I lived in that province. It is now a memorial.

我真希望自己住在安大略的时候,有机会去看看他在安大略省格莱文赫斯特的旧居。现在那里是个纪念馆了。

Historical-Shock-404
Yes, there's a statue of him in Montreal near Concordia university. Unfortunately pigeons crap on his head

没错,蒙特利尔的康考迪亚大学附近有一座为他而立的纪念碑。不幸的是脑袋上落了不少鸽子屎。

prairie-logic
I read about him in school.

我在学校读到过他的故事

He is certainly portrayed as someone Canada is proud of for things like Blood transfusion.

当时他因为在输血之类方面做出的贡献,被描述成了加拿大的骄傲。

But he is certainly not taught to us the same way, and with the current trajectory of modern geopolitics, he won’t be brought back into vogue in Canada anytime soon.

但我们课本上学到的显然不是这样,并且考虑到今天地缘政治的趋势,大概最近他是不会重回加拿大的热点话题了。
原创翻译:龙腾网 https://www.ltaaa.cn 转载请注明出处


Still, politics aside, I see him as an exceptional man in trying times doing the most good he could for as many as he could.

不论如何,放下政治不谈,我认为他是个非常杰出的人,在一个困难的时代,他为尽可能多的人做出了最大的善事。

Mindless-Charity4889
There are modest memorials to him here and there. A statue, a street or housing co op say. And most Canadians have heard of him through the TV shows and movies; at least older Canadians like me. But I would say he’s probably better known in the medical community. He is in the medical hall of fame and is known not so much for his humanity but for his innovations in blood collection

加拿大这里到处都有简朴的纪念物。雕像,街道或者住房合作社之类的。绝大多数加拿大人都是通过电视剧和电影了解的他,至少我这样的老一辈加拿大人是这样的。但我想说的是,他在医学界应该更为人所知。他是医学名人堂的成员,在那里他最为人所知的不是自己的人道主义,而是在抽血方面的创新。

mynewestawaythrow
I've heard of him, but I believe he's a rather obscure figure within Canada. He's mostly recognised within Canada for being recognised within the CCP.

我听说过这个人,但我觉得他在加拿大应该算是非常小众的历史人物。加拿大人知道他,基本都是因为中国对他的认可。

He also died a long time ago and his publicity peaked when Mao gave him a shoutout in the 70s, so he's particularly obscure among the young. I honestly had to read up on what exactly it is he did again despite recognising the name.

他很长时间以前就去世了,70年代毛泽东公开赞扬他的时候,他的人气达到了顶峰,所以年青一代或许对他了解很少。说实话尽管我知道这个名字,但是我得去查一查才能知道他到底做了什么事。

I have and love his politics most of all.

我认识,并且我很喜欢他的政治观点。

The workers have nothing to lose but their chains.

无产阶级除了身上的枷锁一无所有。

YYCADM21
Bethune is much better known for his work in China, by the Chinese, than he's ever been in Canada. Prior to my first visit to China, I was aware of him, but after being asked about him, and hearing him mentioned multiple times in the first few days in the country, I was determined to learn more when I got home.

白求恩或许在中国为中国人所知的程度比在加拿大要广泛得多。我第一次去中国之前知道这个人,但是在抵达中国之后的几天里,我好几次听到别人提起他、自己被问起他的事情之后,就决定回家之后要多了解一下这个人。

Fascinating man, great medical mind and humanitarian. He directly and indirectly saved the lives of millions of people

非常厉害的人,伟大的医者和人道主义者。他直接或间接地救下了数百万人的生命。

PaddyOFurniture1948
I was one of the students at York University in the early 1970s who campaigned to have a college named after Dr. Bethune, and when it was, I lived in the residence. Many students greatly admired him and the work he did.

我上世纪70年代在约克大学读书,当时他们有个学院是以白求恩大夫命名的,我就住在那个学院的宿舍。很多学生都非常仰慕他,和他的事迹。

很赞 29
