卷十五 三八、无理的干涉


  (二月十二日)

  初十夜哥伦比亚大学世界学生会之俄国学生请大文豪托尔斯泰(Tolstoi)之子伊惹·托尔斯泰伯爵(Count Ilya Tolstoi)演说。不意大学俄文科教长Prof. J. D. Prince(J. D. 普林斯教授)素不喜托氏之理论者,出而干涉,竟令大学书记禁止此会用大学讲室为会场,托氏遂不能演说。托氏谓人曰:

  I thought for a while that I was back in Russia and not in "free" America. Worse than that—for the precise address I intened to give had been delivered last October in Moscow and the address had been approved by the Chief of Police before it was delivered.

  〔中译〕

  我还以为我刚才是回到了俄国,而不是在“自由”的美国。更为糟糕的是,我原打算作的演说正是去年十月我在莫斯科所作的,而该演说当初是事先经过警察长同意了的。

  此不独本校之辱,亦此邦之羞也。
