关于爱因斯坦 一位网友发了如下的评论。 爱因斯坦的思想或语录出版很多。他活着的时候从来没有种族歧视的言论，也许对德国日耳曼人的批评是例外。爱因斯坦是著名的左派，种族歧视不是他的意识形态。更不要说这个日记完全是市侩的口吻，不可能来自伟大思想家。 请看下面一段。 The travel diaries of Albert Einstein The far east, Palestine & Spain 1922 -1923 Nov 10, 1922, Hong Kong This morning I visited the Chinese quarter on the mainland side with Elsa. Industrious, filthy, lethargic people. Houses very formulaic, balconies like beehive-cells, everything built close together and monotonous. Behind the harbor, nothing but eateries in front of which Chinese don’t sit on benches while eating but squat like Europeans do when they relieve themselves out in the leafy woods. All this occurs quietly and demurely. Even the children are spiritless and look lethargic. It would be a pity if these Chinese supplant all other races. For the likes of us the mere thought is unspeakably dreary. Yesterday evening three Portuguese middle-school teachers visited me, who claimed that the Chinese are incapable of being trained to think logically and that they specifically have no talent for mathematics. I noticed how little difference there is between men and women; I don’t understand what kind of fatal attraction Chinese women possess that enthralls the corresponding men to such an extent that they are incapable of defending themselves against the formidable blessing of offspring.
