हाँ, एक अलग फिलिस्तीनी पहचान का अस्तित्व केवल रणनीतिक कारणों से है। फिलिस्तीनी राज्य की स्थापना इज़राइल के खिलाफ लड़ाई जारी रखने और अरब एकता का एक नया हथियार है।

Yes, the existence of a separate Palestinian identity exists only for tactical reasons. The establishment of a Palestinian state is a new tool to continue the fight against Israel and for Arab unity.

प्रथम विश्व युद्ध के बाद ऐसा माहौल था कि चलो राष्ट्र संघ बनाते हैं, हमें मिलकर काम करना सीखना होगा। ज़िंदा रहने का यही एकमात्र तरीका है। और आज स्थिति यह है कि हम उन्हीं बेहद कमज़ोर संस्थाओं को तबाह कर रहे हैं जिन्हें प्रथम और द्वितीय विश्व युद्ध के बाद इसलिए बनाया गया था ताकि देश आपसी भले के लिए एक वैश्विक कूटनीति के तहत मिलकर काम कर सकें। और हम इन्हें बेहद तेजी से नष्ट कर रहे हैं।

After the First World War, it was, like, let's form the League of Nations, we have to learn to work together. It's the only way we're going to survive. And now it's like we're undoing these very fragile institutions that were built after the First and Second World Wars that were about nations working on a kind of global diplomacy for our mutual benefit. And we're undoing them at such rapid-fire pace.

शांति और हमारे पूर्वजों के संघ के लिए प्रार्थना करते हुए मेरा हाथ ऊपर की ओर उठा हुआ था... जब मेरा हाथ उस आवेशपूर्ण इशारे के बाद नीचे आया, तो वह धीरे-धीरे और उदासी के साथ एक अलगाववादी के पास आकर रुका।

My arm extended upward in pleading for peace and the Union of our Fathers... When my hand came down from that impassioned gesticulation, it fell slowly and sadly by the side of a Secessionist.

मुझे लगता है कि इस बात में कुछ दम है कि शादी एक संस्था है। सैकड़ों साल पहले जब लोगों के जोड़े बनाकर साथ रहने का रिवाज़ आम हुआ था, तब इसका मतलब कुछ और ही हुआ करता था।

I think there is some credibility to the notion that marriage is an institution. It meant something very different hundreds of years ago when it became the norm for people to go off and pair.

पचास का दशक काफ़ी विद्रोही दौर था, उस समय माहौल में एक अलग ही बग़ावत थी। यह 'जूट सूट' के चलन से ठीक पहले का समय था, जो मुझे लगता है कि काफ़ी तनाव, कुंठा और एक-दूसरे पर इल्ज़ाम लगाने की वजह बना। और अचानक से, एक धमाके की तरह, यह हम जैसे लोगों के लिए बेहद तबाह करने वाला साबित हुआ, जिसने हमें तुरंत हर स्तर पर और हर पल अपनी रक्षा करने के लिए मजबूर कर दिया। ऐसा लगता था कि हमें हर वक़्त चौकन्ना रहना होगा।

The fifties were pretty rebellious, a pretty rebellious period, around that time. And it was preceding the whole zoot suit thing which I think really contributed to a lot of anxiety, to a lot of frustration, a lot of blaming. And it just like boom, it was very destructive for us as a people, that right away put us on like we had to defend ourselves on every level, every moment. We seemed like we always had to be on guard.

आधुनिकता का सार यह है कि अब प्रगति के लिए किसी जीनियस या असाधारण प्रतिभा का इंतज़ार नहीं करना पड़ता; इसके बजाय हमने आम लोगों के संगठित प्रयासों पर भरोसा करना सीख लिया है। विज्ञान उतना ही पुराना है जितनी कि मानव जाति, लेकिन विज्ञान का प्रभावी संगठन नया है। प्राचीन विज्ञान, किसी अकेली जगह पर सोने की खोज में भटकने वाले खनिकों की तरह था। सच्चाई के छोटे-छोटे टुकड़े तब भी मिलते थे, लेकिन ज्ञान की कुल संपत्ति बहुत धीमी गति से बढ़ती थी। आधुनिक इंसान ने इस दुनिया को तब बदलना शुरू किया जब उसने ज्ञान की छिपी हुई परतों को व्यवस्थित तरीके से खंगालना शुरू किया।

The essence of modernity is that progress no longer waits on genius; instead we have learned to put our faith in the organized efforts of ordinary men. Science is as old as the race, but the effective organization of science is new. Ancient science, like placer mining, was a pursuit of solitary prospectors. Nuggets of truth were found, but the total wealth of knowledge increased slowly. Modern man began to transform this world when he began to mine the hidden veins of knowledge systematically.

टैटू बनवाना ऐतिहासिक, सांस्कृतिक और कला का एक बेहतरीन रूप है, लेकिन यह हमेशा ग्राहक और टैटू कलाकार दोनों के लिए सुरक्षित होना चाहिए।

Tattooing is historical, cultural and a great form of art but it should always be safe for both the client and the tattoo practitioner.

'बॉर्न लूज़र्स' लेखन का एक बेहतरीन नमूना है। स्कॉट सैंडेज इतिहास के डिकेंस हैं; उनकी उदास दुनिया, अठारहवीं सदी के अंत के उन गुमनाम अमेरिकियों की दुनिया है जो असफल रहे। अपनी हास्य-बोध और संवेदनशीलता के साथ, सैंडेज क्रेडिट मूल्यांकन की उस धुंधली दुनिया पर प्रकाश डालते हैं, जो पूंजीवाद का एक ऐसा कुचलने वाला पहलू है जिस पर बहुत कम ध्यान दिया गया है। यह इतिहास जैसा होना चाहिए वैसा ही है—एक ऐसी कलाकृति जो हमारे अतीत की सामाजिक कीमत को उजागर करती है।

Born Losers is a beautiful piece of writing. Scott Sandage is history's Dickens; his bleak house, the late nineteenth century world of almost anonymous American men who failed. With wit and sympathy, Sandage illuminates the grey world of credit evaluation, a little studied smothering arm of capitalism. This is history as it should be, a work of art exploring the social cost of our past.

अभिजात वर्ग की समस्याएं एक पुराना विषय रही हैं, जिनका कोई ठोस हल अमेरिकी अभी तक नहीं ढूंढ पाए हैं।

The problems of elites is an old one for which Americans have found no solid answer.

एक सामान्य बुद्धि और शिक्षा वाले व्यक्ति के लिए भूगोल का अर्थ उतना ही अनबूझी पहेली है जितना कि किसी जंगल में रहने वाले व्यक्ति के लिए किसी भव्य गिरजाघर का महत्व। फिर भी, हमारे आस-पास की धरती, अपने अनगिनत और चमत्कारी रूप से महत्वपूर्ण भौगोलिक रूपों के साथ, किसी भी गिरजाघर से कम अतीत के इतिहास को नहीं दर्शाती। शिक्षा की इस कमी के कारण मानसिक आनंद का जो अवसर हमेशा के लिए खो जाता है, उस पर सचमुच दुख होता है।

The meaning of geography is as much a sealed book to the person of ordinary intelligence and education as the meaning of a great cathedral would be to a backwoodsman, and yet no cathedral can be more suggestive of past history in its many architectural forms than is the land about us, with its innumerable and marvellously significant geographic forms. It makes one grieve to think of opportunity for mental enjoyment that is last because of the failure of education in this respect.

गुलामी दक्षिणी राज्यों की नीतियों में इस हद तक रच-बस गई है कि उनकी खुशी, शांति और समृद्धि की जड़ों को उखाड़े बिना इसे खत्म नहीं किया जा सकता।

Slavery has become so engrafted into the policy of the Southern States, that it cannot be eradicated without tearing up by the roots their happiness, tranquillity, and prosperity.

जब मैं "अमेरिकन स्क्रिप्चर्स" पर एक एस्पेन सेमिनार में गया — जो डिक्लेरेशन की द्विशताब्दी पर था और जहाँ प्रस्तावना और गेटीसबर्ग एड्रेस समेत कई चीज़ों पर चर्चा हुई, लेकिन लिंकन के दूसरे शपथ ग्रहण भाषण पर नहीं, तो मैंने इस कमी पर सवाल उठाया। इस पर उन्होंने कहा कि इस पर कुछ ढूंढ कर लाओ और मुझे हैरानी हुई कि उस समय इस विषय पर वास्तव में कोई किताब या लंबा लेख मौजूद नहीं था। इसलिए मैंने एक ऐसा लेख लिखा जो इसके साथ न्याय कर सके। हालांकि वह गुमनाम रूप से प्रकाशित हुआ था, लेकिन उस निबंध को बहुत अच्छी प्रतिक्रिया मिली। किसी तरह डेविड डोनाल्ड की नज़र उस पर पड़ गई और उन्होंने अपनी जीवनी के नोट्स में विशेष रूप से उसका उल्लेख किया।

When I went to an Aspen seminar on "American Scriptures" - the bicentennial of the Declaration and they discussed the preamble and the Gettysburg Address and much more, but not Lincoln's Second Inauguration, I challenged that omission and they said find something on it and to my astonishment, at that time, there was no book or long article that really did it. So I wrote one that attempted to do it justice. Although obscurely published, that essay got a nice bounce. Somehow David Donald saw it, and in his notes to his biography singled it out.

मुझसे अक्सर अब्राहम लिंकन की भूलों और कमियों के बारे में पूछा जाता है; उन्होंने यकीनन कुछ गलतियाँ की थीं। राष्ट्रपति लिंकन पुस्तक में मेरा एक अध्याय 'पॉहवाटन प्रकरण' पर है, जो शुरुआती दिनों में एक बहुत बड़ी गड़बड़ी थी — बिल्कुल 'सम्टर प्रकरण' की तरह। लिंकन ने ऐसे कागज़ों पर हस्ताक्षर कर दिए जिन पर उन्हें नहीं करने चाहिए थे, और एक ही जहाज़ को दो अलग-अलग कप्तानों के साथ दो अलग-अलग जगहों पर भेज दिया गया, आदि। गनीमत यह रही कि कोई बड़ा नुकसान नहीं हुआ। लिंकन ने इसकी पूरी ज़िम्मेदारी अपने ऊपर ली और फिर कभी ऐसा कुछ नहीं किया।

I am asked often about Abraham Lincoln's mistakes and faults; he certainly made some mistakes. I have chapter in President Lincoln about the Powhatan affair that was a royal screw-up in the early days - right alongside the Sumter affair. Lincoln signed letters he should not signed, and the ship was sent to two places at one under two captains etc. Fortunately, no great harm. Lincoln took the blame and did not do anything like that again.

ابراہم لنکن نے کبھی یہ دعویٰ نہیں کیا کہ ان کے اقدامات کانگریس کی جانچ پڑتال سے بالاتر ہیں؛ اس کے برعکس، انہوں نے خاص طور پر کہا تھا کہ وہ موجودہ دفعات سے آگے بڑھ کر اس توقع کے تحت عمل کر رہے ہیں کہ کانگریس بعد میں اس کی توثیق کر دے گی، اور ایسا ہی ہوا۔ انہوں نے رچرڈ نکسن کی طرح کبھی یہ نہیں کہا کہ اگر صدر کرے تو وہ قانونی ہے۔

Abraham Lincoln did not contend that his actions were immune from Congressional correction; on the contrary, he specifically said he was acting beyond the present provisions in the expectation that congress would retroactively approve, which they did. He did not say anything like Richard Nixon: if the president does it is legal.

اے نوجوانو، اس بات پر اتنے بھی یقین سے نہ پھول جانا کہ تم اپنے آباؤ اجداد سے بہتر ہو۔

Do not be too sure, young fellows, That you are better than your ancestors.

अंत में, उनके कई कट्टर सहयोगियों को यह लगने लगा था कि [हो ची मिन्ह] की समझौता करने की प्रवृत्ति और दुश्मन का सीधे तौर पर सामना करने से उनकीि हिचकिचाहट, उनकी कमजोरी की निशानी है। 1963-1965 में अमेरिका का सीधे मुकाबला करने का निर्णय इस बात की दबी हुई स्वीकृति थी कि हो ची मिन्ह की नीति असफल हो चुकी थी।

In the end, many of his more militant colleagues began to feel that [Ho Chi Minh's] tendency to compromise, and his reluctance to confront the enemy directly, was a sign of weakness. The decision to confront the United States in 1963-1965 was a tacit recognition that Ho's approach had failed.

1946 के वसंत में [हो ची मिन्ह] ने वियतनाम की स्वतंत्रता को लेकर उपजे विवाद के बीच एक समझौते के तहत फ्रांसीसी प्रतिनिधि के साथ एक अंतरिम समझौते पर हस्ताक्षर किए। एक बार फिर, वे शायद यह उम्मीद करने में थोड़े भोले साबित हुए थे कि समझौता वास्तव में संभव था।

In the spring of 1946 [Ho Chi Minh ] signed a provisional agreement with the French representative on a compromise solution to the dispute over Vietnamese independence. Once again, he might have been naive in hoping that a compromise was really possible.

मुझे यह मानने का कोई कारण नजर नहीं आता कि वियतनाम की कम्युनिस्ट पार्टी (VCP) वियतनाम में सत्ता की बागडोर अपने हाथों से जाने देगी। देश में ऐसा कोई भी संगठित बल मौजूद नहीं है जो सत्ता के लिए VCP को टक्कर दे सके। और पार्टी आज भी यही मानती है कि उसे डर दिखाकर और राजनीतिक पटल पर अपना दबदबा कायम करके ही शासन करना चाहिए। असल में, उसने हो ची मिन्ह की उस विरासत को छोड़ दिया है जिसके अनुसार लोगों को बल के बजाय persuasion (समझाइश और मनाने) से जीता जाना चाहिए—यह एक ऐसा सिद्धांत था जिसका पालन खुद हो ची मिन्ह ने भी हमेशा नहीं किया।

I see no reason to believe that the Vietnamese Communist Party will lose control over the reins of power in Vietnam. There is no organized force in the country that is capable of competing with the VCP for power. And the party still believes that it must rule by intimidation and by dominating the political scene In effect, it has abandoned that part of Ho Chi Minh's legacy that the people must be won over by persuasion rather than by force - a dictum that Ho Chi Minh did not always follow himself.

द्वितीय विश्व युद्ध के दौरान जब उन्होंने चीन में सेवा की, तो [हो ची मिन्ह] ने जापानी सेना (और बाद में च्यांग काई-शेक की सेना) के खिलाफ माओ त्से-तुंग की गुरिल्ला युद्ध की रणनीतियों के बारे में सीखा, और उन्होंने माओ की कुछ रचनाओं का वियतनामी भाषा में अनुवाद भी किया। लेकिन यह स्पष्ट है कि दुश्मन का मुकाबला करने को लेकर उनके अपने विचार भी बिल्कुल वैसे ही थे।

When he served in China during World War II, [Ho Chi Minh] learned about Mao Zedong's tactics of guerrilla war against the Japanese (and later against Chiang Kai-shek's forces), and he translated some of Mao's works into Vietnamese. But it is clear that his own ideas on how to counter the enemy ran along the same lines.
