因实在是被这篇阅读搞得晕头转向,全军覆没,故现在把自己对此篇的翻译贴出,望NN能指点我理解错误的地方。
In a 1918 editorial, W.E.B. Du Bois advised African Americans to stop agitating for equality and to proclaim the solidarity with White Americans for the duration of the First World War.
在一个1918年社论中,W.E.B. Du Bois(D.B) 劝告美国黑人在一战期间停止为平等煽动,宣告与白人团结。
The editorial surprised many Africa Americans who viewed Du Bois as an uncompromising African American leader and a chief opponent of the accommodationist tactics urged by Booker, T. Washington.
此社论使许多黑人感到惊讶,他们认为D.B是一个坚定的黑人领袖以及Booker, T. Washington的迁就主义战略的主要反对者。
In fact, however, Du Bois often shifted positions along the continuum between Washington and confrontationists such as William Trotter.
然而事实上,D.B经常连续地在Washington与他的反对者(比如William Trotter)的立场中转变观点。
In 1895, when Washington called on African Americans to concentrate on improving their communities instead of opposing discrimination and agitating for political rights, Du Bois praised Washington’s speech.
1895年,当Washington提倡说,把注意力从抵制歧视转到建设他们的团体上,D.B赞赏了Washington的演讲。
In 1903, however, Du Bois aligned himself with Trotter Washington’s militant opponent, less for ideological reasons than because Trotter had described to him Washington’s efforts to silence those in the African American press who opposed Washington’s positions,reflected not a change in his long-term goals but rather a pragmatic response in the face of social pressure government officials had threatened.
然而1903年,更多的原因在于Trotter告诉他Washington是为了使那些在黑人舆论中他的反对者保持沉默,联合Washington的强硬反对者Trotter的D.B反映了一个在面对政府威胁的社会压力下实际主义的响应。
African Americans’ contributions to past war efforts had brought them some legal and political advances.
黑人在过往战争中努力成果的贡献使他们获得了一些法律上和政治上的改善。
Du Bois’ accommodationism did not last, however. Upon learning of(/on?) systematic discrimination experienced by African Americans in the military, he called on them to “return fighting” from the war.
然而D.B的迁就主义并没有持续,在了解了美国黑人在军事上所经历的成系统的歧视,他提倡他们继续战斗。
此篇中标点符号较混乱,自己修改过,直白译的,自己看着都别扭,不过还是请NN指点。
