Simple Sabotage Field Manual — Page 4

English → Chinese Full Text Level 3/10

Simple sabotage is often an act which the citizen performs according to his own initiative and inclination.

简单破坏活动通常是公民根据自己的主动性和意愿所实施的行为。

Acts of destruction do not bring him any personal gain and may be completely foreign to his habitually conservationist attitude toward materials and tools.

破坏行为不会给他带来任何个人利益，并且可能与他惯常对待材料和工具的节约态度完全相悖。

Purposeful stupidity is contrary to human nature.

故意装傻违背人类本性。

He frequently needs pressure, stimulation or assurance, and information and suggestions regarding feasible methods of simple sabotage.

(1) _Personal Motives_

（1）个人动机

(a) The ordinary citizen very probably has no immediate personal motive for committing simple sabotage.

（a）普通公民很可能没有实施简单破坏活动的直接个人动机。

Instead, he must be made to anticipate indirect personal gain, such as might come with enemy evacuation or destruction of the ruling government group.

相反，必须让他预期到间接的个人利益，例如敌人撤退或统治政府集团被推翻所带来的利益。

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.

应针对所涉地区尽可能具体地说明这些利益：简单破坏活动将加速X专员及其副手Y和Z被驱逐出去的那一天的到来，届时那些特别令人厌恶的法令和限制将被废除，食物将会到来，如此等等。

Abstract verbalizations about personal liberty, freedom of the press, and so on, will not be convincing in most parts of the world.

关于个人自由、新闻自由等的抽象言辞在世界大多数地方都不会令人信服。

In many areas they will not even be comprehensible.

在许多地区，这些言辞甚至令人无法理解。

(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）由于其自身行为的效果有限，破坏者可能会感到沮丧，除非他感到自己是一个庞大但不可见的破坏者群体中的一员，这一群体正在对抗敌人或其本国及其他地方的政府。
