Simple Sabotage Field Manual — Page 4
Simple sabotage is often an act which the citizen performs according to his own initiative and inclination.
単純な妨害行為は、しばしば市民が自らの意志と傾向に従って行う行為である。
Acts of destruction do not bring him any personal gain and may be completely foreign to his habitually conservationist attitude toward materials and tools.
破壊行為は彼に何ら個人的な利益をもたらさず、物資や道具に対する彼の習慣的な節約精神とはまったく相容れないものかもしれない。
Purposeful stupidity is contrary to human nature.
意図的な愚行は人間の本性に反する。
He frequently needs pressure, stimulation or assurance, and information and suggestions regarding feasible methods of simple sabotage.
彼はしばしば、圧力、刺激または保証、そして単純な妨害行為の実行可能な方法に関する情報と提案を必要とする。
(1) _Personal Motives_
(1) 個人的動機
(a) The ordinary citizen very probably has no immediate personal motive for committing simple sabotage.
(a) 一般市民は、単純な妨害行為を行う直接的な個人的動機をおそらく持っていない。
Instead, he must be made to anticipate indirect personal gain, such as might come with enemy evacuation or destruction of the ruling government group.
その代わりに、彼は間接的な個人的利益を期待するよう仕向けられなければならない。それは例えば、敵の撤退や支配的な政府集団の打倒によってもたらされるようなものである。
Gains should be stated as specifically as possible for the area addressed: simple sabotage will hasten the day when Commissioner X and his deputies Y and Z will be thrown out, when particularly obnoxious decrees and restrictions will be abolished, when food will arrive, and so on.
利益は、対象地域に応じてできる限り具体的に示されるべきである。すなわち、単純な妨害行為は、長官Xとその代理人YおよびZが追放される日、特に忌まわしい法令や制限が廃止される日、食料が届く日などを早めるであろう。
Abstract verbalizations about personal liberty, freedom of the press, and so on, will not be convincing in most parts of the world.
個人の自由や報道の自由などについての抽象的な言葉は、世界のほとんどの地域では説得力を持たないであろう。
In many areas they will not even be comprehensible.
多くの地域では、それらは理解すらされないであろう。
(b) Since the effect of his own acts is limited, the saboteur may become discouraged unless he feels that he is a member of a large, though unseen, group of saboteurs operating against the enemy or the government of his own country and elsewhere.
(b) 自らの行為の効果が限られているため、妨害工作員は、敵や自国および他国の政府に対して活動している、目には見えないが大きな妨害工作員集団の一員であるという意識を持てなければ、意欲を失ってしまうかもしれない。
