为什么美国人会庆祝哥伦布日

In past decades, Christopher Columbus has gone from unquestioned US hero to problematic figure. For centuries, the destruction and disease he ushered into the Americas have been set aside, allowing the myth of a pioneering sailor who discovered America and proved the world was round to embed itself in US culture. But as this myth has been increasingly confronted with brutal historical facts, things have started to change.

​在过去的几十年里,克里斯托弗·哥伦布(Christopher Columbus)从毋庸置疑的美国英雄变成了一个有问题的人物。几个世纪以来,他带入美洲的破坏和疾病一直被搁置一边,让这位发现美洲并证明地球是圆的航海先驱的神话深深扎根于美国文化中。但随着这个神话越来越多地面对残酷的历史事实,情况开始发生变化。

While Columbus still has a national holiday in his honor, complete with parades and celebrations, there are many people fighting to dismantle the myth that surrounds him and choosing to celebrate Indigenous Peoples’ Day instead. Watch this video to understand how Columbus became a US icon over time and why his status is in question today.

虽然哥伦布仍然有一个全国性的节日来纪念他,包括游行和庆祝活动,但仍有许多人努力打破围绕他的神话,选择庆祝土著人民日。
观看这段视频,了解哥伦布是如何随着时间的推移成为美国的偶像的,以及为什么他的地位在今天受到质疑。

"In fourteen hundred ninety-two Columbus got us a day off school."

“1492年,哥伦布让我们放了一天假。”

@morgan8404
Neil LeFrancis I didn’t get a day off of school

尼尔·勒弗朗西斯,我没有放假。

@rithbajer6554
"And yes, millions were slaughtered and throats were cut, but if we don't get that day off school, then... for what?"

“是的,数百万人被屠杀,但如果我们不放假,那... 该去做什么?”

give this man an award

给这个人一个奖。

“You never heard about the other explorers”
Continent is named after Amerigo Vespucci

“你从未听说过其他探险家”
这个大陆是以阿美利哥·维斯普奇的名字命名的。

@Halo-lg7rq
Sam Bunny clearly the Founding Fathers hadn’t either. “Map says America so we shall call this land America”

显然,开国元勋们也没有。 “地图上写着美国,所以我们将这个地方称为美国”

@fernandgutez2383
Sam Weber - there's a chain of mountains in Nicaragua, North America, called "Americ"or "Amaruc" by the natives. Vespuccio first name was "Alberico" and not "Americo" some how, Waldseemuller, who never saw the new world, named the map, America. You might be interested to know that the Native Indian of South America, called their land Amaruka. Maybe that's where the European Spanish got the name for the new world. I am still researching.

在尼加拉瓜,有一条山脉,当地人称之为“Americ”或“Amaruc”。维斯普奇的名字是“Alberico”而不是“Americo”,瓦尔德西穆勒从未见过新大陆,却把地图命名为美国。南美的土著印第安人称他们的土地为阿马鲁卡。或许这就是西班牙人给新大陆起名字的来源。我还在研究中。

@amordipastallc7069
yes he came later !

是的,他后来来了!

@alejandroojeda1572
it's widely accepted that waldseemuller named the continent after Americo fue to his prestige and the fact that he was the first to recognised the new world wasn't Asia. There are múltiple theories but It seems the most correct, as the history fits and at the time no one even cares what the natives called their land. In the Royal spanish academy the ethimology IS the one i've told you. It could be otherwise, yes, we don't know where many words come from, but the general consensus IS that It was named after Vespucio. By the way, Sometimes we don't use first names, It could be that everyone called him Americco....It happens a lot, when the name IS common.

人们普遍接受瓦尔德西穆勒以阿美利哥的名字命名这个大陆,因为他的声望以及他是第一个承认新大陆不是亚洲的人。有多种理论,但看起来最正确的,因为历史相符,当时没有人关心土著人如何称呼他们的土地。西班牙皇家学院的词源就是我告诉你的那个。可能会有不同的解释,是的,我们不知道很多词的来源,但普遍共识是这个名字是以维斯普奇命名的。顺便说一下,有时我们不使用名字,可能每个人都叫他阿美利哥... 这种情况很多,当名字很常见时。

@kcoup1626
How come he doesn't have a holiday? He deserves one more than Columbus.

为什么没有假期纪念他?他比哥伦布更值得有一个纪念日。

@amordipastallc7069
Sam Weber Only ignorant don't know that the name of his continent came from Amerigo Vespucci, unfortunately there are a lot.

只有无知的人不知道这个大陆的名字来自阿美利哥·维斯普奇,不幸的是有很多。

@nicholasschroeder3678
Vespucci wrote a very popular account of his voyages, which the famous mapmaker read, thus the Americo...don't know about the authenticity of the first name

维斯普奇写了一篇非常受欢迎的航海记,著名的制图师读了它,因此有了阿美利哥... 不知道名字的真实性

@_STNML
@amordipastallc7069 well, that is the definition of ignorance. Seems to me your attaching a negative connotation to the word though. why is that?

那就是无知的定义。 但在我看来,你给这个词附上了负面的含义。为什么这样呢?

@ClashOfTheVinicne
Haha, wxactly

哈哈,确实

@MargaritaMagdalena
It said "we rarely hear about other explorers" and just because you know that the country is called America doesn't mean you've heard of Amerigo Vespucci

它说“我们很少听说其他探险家”,而且仅仅因为你知道这个国家叫美国并不意味着你听说过阿美利哥·维斯普奇。

@shaurav8008
Well Columbus did not reach India, but 6 years later Vasco De Gama did reach India.
We Indians cant even think of celebrating Vasco day, it would be a crime knowing the fact what India faced after arrival of Europeans.

哥伦布没有到达印度,但六年后瓦斯科·达·伽马到达了印度。我们印度人甚至无法想象庆祝瓦斯科日,考虑到欧洲人到来后印度所面临的情况,这将是一种犯罪。

@Man86324
We should thank Vasco de gama and British, otherwise we would be Islamic country by now.

我们应该感谢瓦斯科·达·伽马和英国人,否则我们现在会是一个伊斯兰国家。

@baluandhavarapu5786
Nope, there is no chance of anything of that sort happening. Instead, each of the current states of India would form their own country based on the concept of nationalism

不,不会发生这种情况。相反,印度的每个邦将根据民族主义的概念形成自己的国家。

@macaron3141592653
Also there's a city named vasco de gama in Goa

此外,在果阿有一个叫瓦斯科·达·伽马的城市。

@brandylopez9048
My country Mexico was also hurt by their arrival, to be specific of the Spanish. They looked down on people of color and taught us their language and religion. While we celebrate what they taught us till this day. It’s definitely heartbreaking knowing I don’t even speak my native language of Nahuatl but it’s okay I hope I can soon learn about the actual practices of my actual culture and the language my ancestors spoke.

我的国家墨西哥也受到了他们到来的伤害,特别是西班牙人。他们看不起有色人种并教给我们他们的语言和宗教。虽然我们至今庆祝他们教给我们的东西,但知道我甚至不会说我的母语——纳瓦特尔语,这确实令人心碎,但没关系,我希望我能很快学习到我的实际文化和我的祖先说的语言。

@kdsbeenheredebnath5334
india is the only country which have never invaded any foreign land throughout its history....although it was not only colonised by british but also by dutch, french and portuguese....even british also sold few parts of india after it lost wars to french.....and we don't celebrate gandhi....we celebrate his ideoligies of non violence and peace

伙计,印度是唯一一个在历史上从未入侵任何外国的国家.... 尽管它不仅被英国殖民,还被荷兰、法国和葡萄牙殖民.... 即使英国在输给法国的战争后也卖掉了印度的部分地区... 我们不庆祝甘地... 我们庆祝他的非暴力和和平的思想

@kdsbeenheredebnath5334
when british left....44% of the population were living under extreme poverty .....73% of the population were living below poverty line....17% of the people were literate....and u think that british invested in education....

当英国人离开时... 44% 的人口生活在极端贫困中... 73% 的人口生活在贫困线以下... 17% 的人是文盲... 你认为英国人在教育上投资了吗?

@Nyx6161
They knew the world was round in the 1490s and now in 2018 people are something else

在1490年代他们知道地球是圆的,而现在在2018年人们却变得不同了

@leedoyeon
It's not that there are more stupid ones, proportionally speaking, it's just that we give them disproportionately loud voices through social media.

并不是说愚蠢的人更多,按比例来说,只是我们通过社交媒体给了他们不成比例的大声量。

@julesj5853
Many people don"t believe in God, but the scxtures talk about many things that over the years people have been ignorant about. Like a round earth, dinosaurs, importance of cleaning with running water, constellations, that our blood tells about our lives "life is in the blood.: I just mention this because people new about this from the beginning of time and were still so very ignorant no matter where they are/were from, it's not just American ignorance. LOL

许多人不相信上帝,但圣经讲述了许多多年来人们无知的事情。比如地球是圆的,恐龙,用流动的水清洗的重要性,星座,我们的血液告诉我们关于生活的信息“生命在血液中”。我之所以提到这个,是因为人们从时间开始就知道这些,无论他们来自哪里/在哪里,都非常无知,这不仅仅是美国的无知。哈哈

@alienalchemist
Are saying free speech is not for everyone? I'm down with that.

你是说言论自由不是每个人都有的吗?我赞同。

@zackfair4332
No,the Earth is flat...
When Columbus found America, he actually reached it by swimming on the other side of the Earth .

不,地球是平的...
当哥伦布发现美国时,他实际上是通过游到地球的另一边到达的

@jeiku5314
We knew it was round thousands of years ago.

几千年前我们就知道它是圆的。

@panie445

@Jack3md
Why not? He discovered the Americas, continents which were completely unknown in Europe, Asia and Africa.

为什么不呢?他发现了美洲,这些大陆在欧洲、亚洲和非洲完全未知。

@isnitjustkit
Mostly to disease and the Spanish once Columbus had left and died

主要是由于疾病和西班牙人,哥伦布离开后就死了。

@Gamenetreviews
I believe he was fired by the Spanish crown for being to brutal of a governor. But that was more directed towards the Spanish themselves.

我相信他因为作为总督太残暴而被西班牙王室解雇。但这更多是针对西班牙人本身。

How can you discover a place that people already live in?

@menelikm9779
discover: find (something or someone) unexpectedly or in the course of a search.
That is what he did. It was unknown to Europeans that there was an entire separate part of the world. He was the first to the Americas, and after that many others came. This is just another ploy to hate western civilization.

发现:意外地或在寻找过程中找到(某物或某人)。这就是他所做的。对欧洲人来说,有一个完全独立的世界是未知的。他是第一个到达美洲的人,之后还有许多人来到。这只是讨厌西方文明的另一个策略。

@punnequraq
Gamenetreviews he killed thousands, but the European diseases and plagues he and his men spread killed millions more around the caribbean

他杀了成千上万的人,但他和他的手下传播的欧洲疾病和瘟疫在加勒比地区杀死了更多的人。

@casth555
they died to diseases that their immune system wasn't prepared for and that's how many natives died upon the discovery because Europeans brought over diseases, very little native were mudered.

他们死于他们的免疫系统未准备好的疾病,这是许多土著人在发现时死亡的原因,因为欧洲人带来了疾病,只有很少的土著人被谋杀。

@lachellee
How do you discover something people were already living on lol

Disvover could mean show other peaple what they dont know and nearly all the peaple didnt know América existed

发现可能意味着向其他人展示他们不知道的东西,几乎所有人都不知道美洲存在。

@thestemtutor319
the thing is he was the guy that started the exploration of America he was like the spark that started the fire to colonize the Americas

yeah, but to be fair, he did discover it. “Discover” just means to find out, you don’t need to be the first one to discover something to discover it

是的,但公平地说,他确实发现了它。“发现”只是意味着找到,你不需要成为第一个发现某物的人来发现它

@trajan75
Well, because he didn't.

嗯,因为他没有。

@trajan75
The fact is that Columbus along with Queen Isabella did not wish to enlave the Native Americans, and he only engaged in two small wars. In one he was allied with friendly tribes after a massacre by a rival tribe of the Spaniards. In the other he defended himself agains a hostile tribe which attacked one of his expeditions. The real villains were the Spanish gold hunters whom he could not control. Any good history will tell you that.

事实是,哥伦布和伊莎贝拉女王并不希望奴役美洲原住民,他只参加了两次小型战争。在其中一次战争中,他在西班牙人被敌对部落屠杀后与友好的部落结盟。在另一次战争中,他在一次探险中遭到敌对部落袭击时进行了自卫。真正的恶棍是他无法控制的西班牙淘金者。任何好的历史都会告诉你这些。

@rizumaizhar2746
but that what sparked the colonization of america which lead to GENOCIDE and extinction of real americans

但这引发了美洲的殖民化,导致真正的美洲人被种族灭绝和灭绝

@lildandelionlily
They're not in any way changing history, the u.s. have incorrectly taught about Christopher Columbus. They have taught that he was a good man that went and discovered all these lands, wrongly about the US. He never landed on Continental us. He only touch the Caribbean islands which for a long portion of time where not even owned by the government. They never taught us in any way that he was a mass murderer who killed an entire population of natives, enslaving them and then murdering them with disease and torture.

他们并没有改变历史,美国错误地教导了关于克里斯托弗·哥伦布的事情。他们教导他是一个好人,发现了所有这些土地,错误地告诉我们他发现了美国。他从未登上美国大陆。他只接触了加勒比海岛屿,这些岛屿在很长一段时间内甚至不属于政府。他们从未以任何方式教导我们他是一个大规模杀人犯,杀死了整个土著人口,奴役他们,然后用疾病和酷刑杀害他们。

@GrimReaperAssEater
This video completely omits why Columbus Day came to be in 1st place. After 11 Italian American immigrants were lynched in New Orleans, Columbus Day was created as a way to recognize Italian contributions to America, placate the anger of Italians after the lynchings and to normalize their presence. It’s the REAL reason Columbus Day exists

这个视频完全忽略了哥伦布日为什么首先存在。新奥尔良有11名意大利裔美国移民被私刑处死后,哥伦布日被创造出来,以表彰意大利对美国的贡献,安抚私刑事件后意大利人的愤怒,并使他们的存在正常化。这才是哥伦布日存在的真正原因

@johnathanflores7750
Those italians at the time chose a terrible person to represent them. They could've chose someone better like Armigo Verspucci for example.

那些意大利人在当时选择了一个可怕的人来代表他们。他们本可以选择一个更好的人,比如阿美利哥·维斯普奇。

@Xtessisold
they didn’t

他们没有

@AirBuddDwyer
Italians didn't choose Columbus. The WASPs picked Colombus because he was one of the only "Italian-Americans" who they would've considered White, and they wanted the largely Souther Italians immigrants to aspire to be more like him, aka "whiter." Never mind the fact that Ligurians were and are a completely different group of people from Sicilians, Neapolitans, Pugliese, etc and that the two people groups didn't even share a common language until the 1950s, and still don't share DNA or really a common culture, only a political designation.

意大利人没有选择哥伦布。白盎格鲁-撒克逊新教徒选择了哥伦布,因为他是他们认为是白人的唯一“意大利裔美国人”之一,他们希望大多数南部意大利移民向他看齐,也就是“更白”。不要介意利古里亚人和西西里人、那不勒斯人、普利亚人等是完全不同的一群人,他们直到1950年代才有共同的语言,至今也没有共享DNA或真正的共同文化,只有政治上的称谓。

@thecaynuck4694
Colombus wasn’t the one who was killing Natives. He was actually for peace and diplomacy, he wanted to trade and Evangelize, but it was the people who came after him that were the genocidal ones and enslavers

哥伦布不是杀害原住民的人。他实际上是为了和平和外交,他想要贸易和传教,但后来来的人才是种族灭绝者和奴役者。

yea at my school we go on Columbus Day

是的,在我的学校,我们在哥伦布日上课

@bumblebeesnlemons557
Devils Right Hand If you honestly believe that nobody is oppressed in America, then you need to pay attention to what's happening in our country a bit more. Second of all, you use the argument that "our poor are fat" without logic. Poorer people have a higher obesity rate due to the fact of their lower income or no income making them unable to buy fresh, healthy food. What they can buy is what's cheap and easy to get which here in our country mainly means a dollar meal from any chain fast food restaurant.

如果你真的认为在美国没有人受到压迫,那么你需要更多关注我们国家正在发生的事情。其次,你使用“我们的穷人很胖”的论点是没有逻辑的。由于收入低或没有收入,贫困人群的肥胖率较高,使他们无法购买新鲜健康的食物。他们能买到的是便宜且容易得到的东西,这在我们国家主要意味着从任何连锁快餐店购买一美元的餐。

He knew that he was in an undiscovered land.

他知道自己在一片未被发现的土地上。

Proof: the Natives of the Caribbean were semi-nomadic, unlike the Chinese or Indians who as Colombus has read in Marco Polo's accounts were great civilizations with great stone cities on their coastlines so he actually though that he was on an un discovered island off the coast of Cipangu (Japan)

证据:加勒比地区的土著人是半游牧的,不像哥伦布在马可·波罗的记载中读到的中国人或印度人是伟大的文明,有着伟大的石头城市在他们的海岸线上,所以他实际上认为他在Cipangu(日本)海岸的一个未发现的岛屿上。

@justinhawkins8804
We should talk more about the dude they briefly flashed up there, Bartolome de las Casas. That dude is rarely talked about but he was a very early opponent to slavery. We act like slavery was inevitable and met with no resistance. The truth is of course much more talked about. It was incredibly brave to speak out against monarchical policy.

我们应该更多地谈论他们简要闪现的那个人,巴托洛梅·德·拉斯·卡萨斯。那个人很少被谈论,但他是非常早期的反对奴隶制的人。我们表现得奴隶制是不可避免的,并且没有遇到任何抵抗。真相当然被谈论得更多。反对君主政策的发言是非常勇敢的。

@khanhax3873
Yes he was so much against slavery that he pretty much conviced spain to start the trans atlantic slave trade eh

是的,他非常反对奴隶制,以至于他几乎说服了西班牙开始跨大西洋奴隶贸易

@justinhawkins8804
"I soon repented and judged myself guilty of ignorance. I came to realize that black slavery was as unjust as Indian slavery... and I was not sure that my ignorance and good faith would secure me in the eyes of God."

“我很快忏悔,并认为自己因无知而有罪。我意识到黑人的奴隶制和印第安人的奴隶制一样不公正...我不确定我的无知和善意能在上帝眼中保护我。”

Yes he did suggest that the lost labor could be made up for with African slaves, but what you should also realize is that he came to regret this and is actually a complex figure himself. Sure you should criticize him for this, but no figure is historically good, because they are people.

是的,他确实建议失去的劳动力可以用非洲奴隶来补充,但你也应该意识到他后来后悔了这一点,他实际上是一个复杂的人物。当然你应该批评他,但没有历史上的人物是完全好的,因为他们是人。

@justinhawkins8804
I'm not very knowledgeable about Spain at this time, but I think you are partially correct, he was probably more protected because of his position. However he was going against what others in the Catholic Church were saying, he could have easily been kicked out. In fact at one point he was accused of treason and sent before the inquisition, although they didn't kill him. He instructed the work I quoted from above to not be published for 40 years (ie well after his death) probably because he knew he would get in trouble, and then the work was actually not even published until over 300 years later.

我对当时的西班牙不太了解,但我认为你部分是对的,他可能因为他的职位而受到更多保护。然而,他反对天主教会的其他人所说的,他很容易被驱逐。事实上,有一次他被指控叛国并被送到宗教法庭,尽管他们没有杀他。他指示我上面引用的作品在40年内不出版(即在他死后很久),可能是因为他知道自己会惹上麻烦,然后这部作品实际上直到300多年后才出版。

@SebastianGomez-uj8iu
Crazy how he saw them first hand doing awful things and decided to write down what went down. He help start the black legacy for the Spanish. Making Europe know that Spain is doing cruel things.

他亲眼看到他们做了可怕的事情,并决定写下发生的事情。他帮助开启了西班牙的黑色遗产。让欧洲知道西班牙正在做残忍的事情。

@justinhawkins8804
I think the issue is largely out of laziness. Its really easy to just see things are sort of sweeping inevitability, or in broad narratives. I'm about to start applying to history phd programs, and people often laugh or ask why I would do such a crazy thing. Well I love it, I think its important to know things, and I think its important to help provide today with lessons from history. Also when politics inevitably collides with history, someone has to set the record straight. I can't read Spanish though, so unfortunately I can't work on De Las Casas. I'm working on 19th century US cities, mobs, and nativism.

我认为问题主要是由于懒惰。很容易看到事情是一种必然的、或广泛的叙述。我即将开始申请历史博士课程,人们经常笑或问我为什么要做这样的疯狂事情。嗯,我喜欢它,我认为了解事情很重要,我认为帮助今天提供历史教训很重要。此外,当政治不可避免地与历史碰撞时,必须有人澄清事实。不过我不会读西班牙语,所以不幸的是我无法研究德拉斯卡萨斯。我在研究19世纪的美国城市、暴民和本土主义。

@willdoyle6140
It should be noted that although Bartolome de las Casas did briefly advocate for the enslavement of Africans, he later rejected those beliefs and fought for the freedom of all races.

需要注意的是,尽管巴托洛梅·德·拉斯·卡萨斯曾短暂地提倡奴役非洲人,但他后来否定了这些信仰,并为所有种族的自由而战。

说莱弗·埃里克松首先发现了美洲,相当于2011年花3000比特币买披萨的人吹嘘他以前有多少比特币——维京人在他们的殖民地成功之前就放弃了,没什么发展,所以完全被遗忘了

Okay let's debunk this columbus wasn't a saint but he wasn't a devil either in the first voyage he created the Christmas fort then left for spain his men most of them convicts attacked the native taino people and the Christmas fort was destroyed by the tainos in self defense second voyage his son takes over while colon explores so no he wasn't the genocidal maniac he was just the taxi driver

好吧,让我们揭穿这个。哥伦布不是圣人,但他也不是恶魔,在第一次航行中他建立了圣诞堡,然后离开前往西班牙,他的手下大多数是罪犯,攻击了土著塔伊诺人,圣诞堡被塔伊诺人自卫摧毁。第二次航行,他的儿子接手,而哥伦布继续探索,所以不,他不是种族灭绝的疯子,他只是出租车司机

You’ve almost entirely misattributed all the brutality other people did to Columbus while hoping no one would look too hard at your sources. Bartolomos De Las Casas was not writing about Columbus, and he only mentions him once in his entire report (in which he speaks positively), the painting you show of enslaved Native Americans was made almost 50 years after Columbus’s death and is depicting a completely different conquistador. Either you didn’t research too well or you choose not to look for facts that would disagree with your narrative

你几乎完全错误地将其他人对哥伦布的残暴行为归咎于他,同时希望没有人会仔细看你的来源。巴托洛梅·德·拉斯·卡萨斯没有写关于哥伦布的内容,他在整个报告中只提到他一次(其中他积极地谈到哥伦布),你展示的奴役土著美洲人的画作是在哥伦布死后近50年制作的,描绘的是一个完全不同的征服者。要么你没有做好研究,要么你选择不寻找与你的叙述相悖的事实。

@UltraredM
Ben, if you knew more about Columbus you would agree that he was indeed an absolute villain. One of his worst crimes against humanity was being a prolific sex slaver who gave native girls to his men, including nine- and ten-year-olds. Also, at his command, natives that could not conjure enough gold for Columbus's infamous "quota" had their hands severed and worn around their necks. Even in the beginning, Columbus saw the unending friendliness of the natives only as a weakness to be exploited. He wrote in his journal "I could conquer the whole of them with fifty men and govern them as I please."

本,如果你对哥伦布了解更多,你会同意他确实是一个绝对的恶棍。他对人类最严重的罪行之一是他是一个多产的性奴贩,他将土著女孩交给他的手下,包括九岁和十岁的女孩。此外,在他的命令下,无法满足哥伦布臭名昭著的“配额”的原住民被砍掉手并戴在脖子上。即使在一开始,哥伦布也只将原住民无尽的友好视为可以被剥削的弱点。他在日记中写道:“我可以用五十个人征服他们全部,并按照我的意愿统治他们。”

Columbus was without a doubt one of the vilest villains in recorded history, and if you think otherwise you're either deluded or demented. There is no in-between.

哥伦布毫无疑问是记录在案的历史上最卑鄙的恶棍之一,如果你不这么认为,你要么是被蒙蔽了,要么是痴呆。没有中间地带。

@stepheng2074
@UltraredM but he also made europe curious about the new world, which lead to more voyages and settlements. Which is the reason America is here. Not all indians were innocent too. They killed the group of men he left behind.

但他也让欧洲对新世界产生了好奇,这导致了更多的航行和定居。这就是美国存在的原因。并不是所有的印度人都是无辜的。他们杀死了他留下的一群人。

@RainierKine
Also, I think Colombus is overated. Like there're other people to name places over, different explorers, other misionaries, even peacemakers. Also, he didn't even think he was on America.

此外,我认为哥伦布被高估了。像是有其他人可以命名地方,不同的探险家,其他传教士,甚至是和平使者。而且,他甚至不认为自己在美洲。

@Tlaloc1
And as the video mentioned, he didn't land in North America.

正如视频中提到的,他没有登陆北美。

@Freef00d123
"Brutal historical facts" aka one guys journal who was never wrote that Columbus directly did anything to the natives

He didn’t think he was in Asia either. According to his calculations he landed somewhere thousands of kilometers from his destination. So he knew he was somewhere new. Check out a video called “in defense of Columbus”

他也不认为自己在亚洲。根据他的计算,他登陆的地方距离他的目的地有数千公里。所以他知道他在一个新的地方。看看一个叫“为哥伦布辩护”的视频

I think this video is advocating for the change of Columbus Day to Vespucci Day. Afterall America is named after Amerigo Vespucci.

The Native Americans weren't savages, they have fairly complex civilizations and systems of government.

美洲原住民不是野蛮人,他们有相当复杂的文明和政府系统。

They were not a monolith, there was a large amount of diversity across North and South America but a large majority of both continents were completely and utterly devastated by plague. Some of these tribes that survived had government systems were even looked at favorably by the new United States and used in the formation of its government.

他们不是单一体,北美和南美有很大的多样性,但这两个大陆的大部分地区都被瘟疫完全摧毁了。一些幸存的部落有政府系统,甚至被新成立的美国视为有利,并在其政府的形成中使用。

Describing ancient civilizations as savage is simply contrasting them to western civilization and "western values." In terms of brutality, I cannot call Native tribes savages based on that factor due to the brutal nature of just about every major nation in history.

将古代文明描述为野蛮只是将它们与西方文明和“西方价值观”进行对比。在残暴方面,由于历史上几乎所有主要国家的残暴性质,我不能根据这一因素将土著部落称为野蛮人。

Actually he didn't want to discover India. Europeans already had contact with Indians for they healths , back to the Roman empire , Colombus just wanted to discover a new way to reach it , because of the Ottoman Empire all the Europeans navy were blocked and they needed a new way to reach the Indian peninsula to trade spices and fabrics

实际上,他并不想发现印度。欧洲人与印度人的联系已经存在,为了他们的健康,追溯到罗马帝国,哥伦布只是想发现一条新的到达印度的方法,因为奥斯曼帝国所有的欧洲海军都被封锁了,他们需要一种新的方式到达印度半岛以贸易香料和织物

ultimately, that is merely pedantic geography; the main point remains that columbus is undeservingly celebrated in the US, and his name only gained that undeserved prominence due to political convenience.
