原文恕删，试译如下： Peter McLaren: Yes, that would be a very fair description. 彼得麦克罗林：没错，就是这样。 I am not alone, clearly, in this struggle. There are others within universities who work internationally toward the same goal. 当然，这场战争中，吾道不孤。在各大学里，有些人跨国携手，朝着 同样的目标迈进。 But it is also fair to say that in the United States there are very few of us in the field of education and the future in this regard looks irrepressibly bleak. 不过，持平而论，美国教育界中，像我们这样的人屈指可数。展望未 来，在这方面，前途多艰。 Well, let me put it this way. To their ongoing credit, there are those who are quite capable of engaging in a rigorous analysis of mounting sophisticated and nuanced attacks on the scoundrels and hypocrites of the Bush administration, the gangster capitalists and political opportunists, the feckless cabal of Christian-right "profamily activists" who exercise their racism by warning about the coming "demographic winter" facing the United States unless the white population produce enough babies to achieve "replacement-level fertility," and on the evangelical economic zealots who call out for a renewed assault on the poor through neoliberal economic, political, and social directives and principles. 我这样说好了。有人抨击布希政府、以及与黑帮无异的资本家、还有 那些政治投机份子，说他们无赖、伪善。而某些基督教右派的反堕胎 人士，警告我们说，除非白人能够努力生育而达成「替代生育率」， 否则美国即将面临「人口的寒冬」，对此有人谴责这批人图谋不轨， 但终将徒劳无功。至於某些福音经济的狂热支持者，则透过新自由主 义的经济、政治、社会规范与原则，对於穷人发动了新一波的攻击， 同样也引发了口诛笔伐。值得称赞的是，有一群人，对於这些日益增 加，错综复杂、差别微妙的种种攻击非难，能够进行鞭辟入里的分析 。 But these critics of the wretched havoc wrought by neoliberalism do not at the same time identify an alternative---at least one that is couched beyond very safe and I would say largely empty liberal pluralist principles. 不过，在对新自由主义搞出的悲惨浩劫大加挞伐之际，这群评论者却 没能看出一条可行之道。在那些四平八稳，甚至我要说是大多空洞无 义的自由多元原则的背後，就至少有这麽一条路。 Until about the mid-1990s, I found myself in the same dilemma. For me, the struggle was focused on democratizing the public sphere. But since that time I have been a staunch advocate of education as a means to further socialism, that is, to bring about a world outside capital's valorization process or, put another way, outside labor's value form. I have described capitalism and democracy as two thieves planning a joint robbery and simultaneously attempting to steal the spoils from each other. 九零年代中期以前，我自己也曾同样进退失据。我本认为努力的重点 应在於使民主植根於公共领域。之後，我却坚信教育才是推动社会主 义的良方。也就是说，要创造出一个资本稳定物价程序之外的世界， 或者说是劳工价值型态之外的世界。我一向把资本主义与民主政治比 喻为两个贼，沆瀣一气，但又想黑吃黑。 --
