大英帝国是世人所见过的最大的帝国 It was the greatest Empire the world\nhad ever seen.
在其鼎盛时期，英国统治了超过世界四分之一的人口 At its height, Britain ruled over\na quarter of the world's population.
他们所到之处 Everywhere they went,
这群建造了帝国的人 会在远离帝国的地方再打造一个家 the men and women who built the\nEmpire created a home away from home.
从加拿大的荒野... From the wastes of Canada...
...到非洲肥沃的高原... ..to the fertile highlands of\nAfrica...
..还有印度的高山驻地 ..and the hill stations of India.
他们富有英国式的精神 They took with them what\nthey saw as the spirit of Britain,
在全球各地传播英国式的做事方式 and they spread the British way of\ndoing things right across the globe.
但是，当我们在奇异而遥远的土地上安家的时候 But as we made ourselves at home\nin strange and far away lands,
总有一个问题：我们与治下的人民是如何共同生活的？ the question was always, how do\nwe live with the people we rule?
这个问题的答案将会对他们的国家产生重大影响 The answer would\nshape their countries,
但它也会影响到我们自己 but it would also shape our own.
故事从这里开始 - 17世纪初印度的东部海岸 The story starts here on the east\ncoast of India in the early 1600s.
最初英国人是作为商人来到这里，而不是侵略者 The first British people arrived\nnot as invaders, but as traders.
他们对所遇到的当地人的态度 Their attitude to the peoples\nthey encountered
与他们以后的态度截然不同 would be very different\nfrom those who followed.
这些帝国的先驱们欣然接受了印度的生活方式 These pioneers of Empire actively\nembraced an Indian way of life.
查尔斯·斯图尔特是这些早期的商人之一 One of these early traders was\nCharles Stuart.
他为东印度公司工作 He worked for the East India Company,
这家公司从事棉花、丝绸和香料交易 which traded in cotton,\nsilks and spices.
很多个早晨，当地人在加尔各答的胡格利河 Most mornings, Stuart could be seen\njoining the locals
沐浴时，斯图亚特都会加入其中 as they bathed in Calcutta's\nHugli river.
查尔斯·斯图尔特是那种 Charles Stuart is the sort of person
很容易就能化解对帝国产生的偏见的人 who up ends easy prejudices\nabout the Empire,
讽刺的是，这一切的努力都由于傲慢的种族主义者 the caricature is that it was all run
对当地人的欺压蹂躏而前功尽弃 by arrogant racists oppressing\ndowntrodden natives.
像所有的漫画一样，这其中蕴含了一个真理 And like all caricatures,\nthere is a degree of truth in that.
但查尔斯·斯图尔特是最早来到印度的 But Charles Stuart belongs to an\nearly generation
一代英国人，他们被这块土地深深地诱惑着 of the British in India,\nwho were seduced by the place.
对于查尔斯·斯图尔特而言，印度既不是外星球，也不是禁区 For Charles Stuart, India was neither\nalien nor forbidding.
它是醉人的乐土 It was intoxicating.
试想一下，要是你能穿越回以前的时光，你见过的最奇特 Imagine coming across this if the\nmost exotic thing you'd ever seen
的东西是在你教区教堂窗上的彩色玻璃会怎么样 was the stained glass in your parish\nchurch window.
我想，大多数人都一定会被吓倒 Most people would have been\nabsolutely intimidated, I think.
在这个陌生的世界 In this unfamiliar world,
查尔斯·斯图尔特看到了圣洁，秩序和文明 Charles Stuart saw holiness, order\nand civilisation.
他对印度是如此着迷，以至于他很快就被称为印度人斯图尔特 So enchanted was he with India, he\nsoon became known as Hindu Stuart.
他鼓动他的欧洲伙伴们接受印度风俗 He encouraged his fellow Europeans\nto adopt Indian customs.
他呼吁英国妇女放弃自己平淡的礼服 He called on British women to\nabandon their dull dresses
穿上五颜六色的印度莎丽服 and wear colourful Indian saris,
呼吁英国的男士们 and on British men
都蓄起有印度风格的浓密胡子，这华丽的胡子 to grow what would become that\ntrademark of Empire,
将成为帝国的 a luxuriant moustache,
商标 Indian style.
你好，我可以和你谈谈你的胡子吗？ Hello. Can I talk to you about your\nmoustache?
可以？太好了，我能进去吗？ Yes? Good. Can I come in?
你留了多久的胡子了？ Now, how long have you had it?
你觉得它会让你更显男子汉气质吗？ Do you think it makes you more manly?
我这样没留胡子的人，你觉得会更像个女的吗？ Do you think I'm a bit of a girl\nfor not having a moustache?
这真是一种解脱 That's a relief.
东印度公司的商人们 The traders of the\nEast India Company,
喜欢把生意和娱乐搅和在一起 liked to mix business with pleasure.
与当地人一起放松一下是他们的每日项目 Relaxing with the locals was\nan everyday affair.
就他们的服饰来看 To judge from their clothes,
你经常分不清彼此 you often couldn't tell\none from the other.
正是帝国制定了这样的规则： This was the Empire making\nup the rules
当一切在进展时，保持两者之间适当的关系 about the appropriate relations\nbetween the races, as it went along.
事实上，并不存在任何真正的规则 In fact, there weren't really any\nrules, at all, yet.
许多英国商人都在印度包二奶，她们被称作碧碧丝 Many British traders took Indian\nmistresses, known as Beebees.
但也有更严肃，更持久的关系 But there were more serious\nand lasting relationships too,
最后结婚成家 leading to marriage and families.
许多东印度公司的男人把他们的财产留给了 Many men of the East India Company\nleft their possessions
他们的印度妻子和孩子 to Indian wives or children.
这种不同人种间的性关系和婚姻扩展到 The practice of interracial sex\nand interracial marriage extended
这片土地上的英国高级官员 to the very highest British\nofficials in the land.
这座纪念碑建立之初是为了纪念戴维·奥克特罗尼爵士 This monument was erected originally\nto honour Sir David Ochterlony.
作为那个时代在德里的英国居民，他的最壮观的一个景象 One of the great spectacles of his\ntime as British resident in Delhi,
就是当他在傍晚散步时 was the sight of him taking\nthe evening air,
身边伴随着他的13个印度妻子，每个妻子都骑着一头大象 attended by his 13 Indian wives,\neach on her own elephant.
奥克特罗尼最喜欢的就是来到自己的宅邸 Ochterlony liked nothing more than\nto repair to his residence
与他的佳丽们度过一个宁静的夜晚 for a quiet evening\nin with his harem.
他总是穿着一身的印度服装，身边放着水烟管 Dressed in full Indian costume,\nhis shisha pipe at his side.
这些不同种族通婚的后代 The offspring\nof these mixed race marriages,
被称作盎格鲁 - 印度人 became known as Anglo-Indians.
今天，其人数在印度估计大约有15万 Today there are an estimated\n150,000 of them in India.
这是在钦奈的圣诞节，原名马德拉斯 It's Christmas in Chennai,\nformerly known as Madras.
在盎格鲁 - 印度日历中，这是一个盛大的场合 It's a big occasion\nin the Anglo-Indian calendar.
盎格鲁 - 印度人往往在他们的群体内通婚 Anglo-Indians tend to marry within\nthe community,
因此，这一称谓带有一些“英国血统”的意思 so the term now means having some\nBritish blood,
经常有几个后代回到英国 often several generations back.
-你们都是基督徒吗？ -是的 -You're all Christians?\n-Yeah.
-你们全都...带有一些英国血统？ -是的 -And you're all...got some British blood somewhere?\n-Yeah.
但是，你知道，我看不出你和其他印度人的区别 But, you know, you can't, I couldn't\ntell you from any other Indian?
我的名字就能说明 But my name says it.
我知道我的根源，就是这样 And I know my roots. That is it.
这对你意味着什么？ Does it, what does it mean to you?
我觉得很棒，因为我感到 I feel something nice\nbecause I feel,
作为一个盎格鲁 - 印度人，我感到骄傲 I feel proud being Anglo-Indian,\nthat's it.
但是你的存在实际上在提醒大家 But you're a visible reminder,
这个国家曾经是一个殖民地 at the fact that this country was a colony.
很多人不会喜欢这样 Well, a lot of people\nwouldn't like that.
但是，那是历史，把这当做历史的一部分去看待 But that's, that's history, look at\nit, take it as a part of history,
每个国家都有自己的历史，这就是我们的历史 and like every country has a\nhistory, this is our history.
很明显这对你有很大的吸引力，是吗？ It obviously has some big\npull for you, doesn't it?
是的，没错 Yes, it does
其一，我的家庭 One, my family,
我们的根源很深 our roots are very deep
我对自己在这的身份很骄傲 and I am proud to be who I am here.
我对2个世界都很喜爱 I have both worlds to enjoy,
我对西方的喜爱就和东方的一样 I enjoy the West as well\nas I enjoy the East.
你对那些曾经来到这里，与当地人生育子女，然后要么死去 You don't feel any resentment\nagainst these men who came over here,
要么失踪的那些男人有怨恨吗？ and fathered children,\nand then either died or disappeared?
没有，我们不怨恨 Not really. We don't resent, no.
听上去你们似乎对此感到骄傲 You sound actually as\nif you're rather proud of it!
实际上是的，因为我们想保持联系，如果... We are actually, we are because\nwe like to keep in touch if, um...
你最好小心一些 You had better be careful.
接下来，您将会要求再次被殖民统治 Next you'll be asking\nto be colonised again.
这里似乎每个人 都很欢庆两种文化的融合 Everybody here seemed rather to\ncelebrate the fusion of two cultures.
但在维多利亚时代的英国 But in Victorian Britain,
这些关系被视为有颠覆性的，甚至是危险的 these relationships were\nseen as subversive, even dangerous.
当时国家处于宗教复兴时期 The country was in the grip\nof a religious revival.
英国采用的是一种新的，更加严格的基督教 The British were adopting a new,\nmore puritanical Christianity.
他们希望世界各地也这样做 And they wanted the rest of the world\nto do likewise.
远在帝国边缘的地方将很快感受到这种转变 That shift would soon be\nfelt on the far fringes of Empire.
没有多久，维多利亚的生活准则就传到了印度 It wasn't long before Victorian\nvalues arrived in India.
带来这一准则的，不仅仅有传教士 They were brought,\nnot only by missionaries,
还有那些从英国出发的妻子们 but by wives sent out from Britain
她们抵达的人数不断增加 who were arriving in\never increasing numbers.
她们被称为“门萨巴斯（太太们）”\n（应为memsahibs，从前印度人对欧洲已婚妇女的尊称） They were known as memsaabs.
他们对当地的文化没有丝毫兴趣 They hadn't the slightest interest\nin local culture.
一个太太如此描写印度的那些圣洁的男人 One memsaab wrote of Indian\nholy men as,
“可怕的家伙，长着疯狂滚动的大眼睛 "horrible objects,\nwith their wildly rolling eyes,
乱蓬蓬的长发，肮脏身体里的每一块骨头都能看得见 "long tangled hair, and every bone\nvisible in their wretched bodies."
另一个到达印度的人给家里写信 Another arrived in India\nand wrote home,
“这里乱七八糟的！” "There's such a lot of everything!"
难怪那些太太们跑向山丘 No wonder the memsaabs\nran for the hills.
他们很难象在家里那样 They had very different ideas
在印度安排自己的生活 about how to make themselves at home\nin India.
随意宽松的日子已经过去 The days of easy going\ntolerance were now over,
在他们的地方 一场永无止境的文化战争爆发了 in their place came a culture war,\na never ending battle
在面对外来的诱惑时，他们要保持英国人的生活方式 to maintain the British way of life\nin the face of foreign temptation.
在这场战斗中，英国的据点就是 The British strongholds in\nthis battle were the places
他们躲避夏季酷暑的地方 they came to escape the summer heat.
山区驻地，比如乌蒂 Hill stations, like Ooty.
印度人称之为“Ootacamund” The Indians called it Ootacamund,
但是这个词对大多数英国人来说太长了 but that was too much of a mouthful\nfor most of the British.
他们一找到这个地方 As soon as they discovered the place,
就把它改变成了另一个萨里郡(英国南部郡名) they began to turn it into\na version of Surrey.
在这样的地方，一种特殊的不列颠化的观念形成了 In places like this, a particular\nidea of Britishness was forged.
草坪上放着茶 Tea on the lawn,
一种明显无疑的保守、循规蹈矩、拘谨 a certain reserve, order, formality,
和不可思议的古板 unbelievable stuffiness.
有一种想法，认为有些人对这种生活情有独钟 It is an idea that some people\nstill have a soft spot for,
而其他人却已经对此嘲笑了几十年 while others have been\nlaughing at it for decades.
那些最初用来防卫的伪装 What tends to be forgotten, though,
往往容易被人遗忘 is that it was forged, initially,\nas a defence against something.
在目前的情况下，这种伪装是用来防止被印度同化的 In this case,\nas a defence against India.
小平房象堡垒一样满山遍野地萌生出来 Bungalows sprouted like little\nforts all over the hills.
平房原来是印度语 Bungalow is originally an Indian word
意思是孟加拉风格的房子 meaning a house in the Bengali style,
而不是描述非常英国化的“建筑”一词 but the buildings it came to\ndescribe were very British, indeed.
帝国的伟大作家，吉卜林 The great Empire writer,\nRudyard Kipling,
谈及它们时将之作为囚屋的典范 talked about them as models\nof shut-up-ness.
他们封闭在自己的小圈子里，在严格的秩序下生活 Enclosed within their own little\ncompound, rigidly ordered within,
似乎真的把英国人与印度人分隔开了 they really were about the separation\nof us from them.
当然，这种态度上的大转变 Of course, the great\nshift in attitudes
不仅体现在男人的身上，也包括他们的夫人们 was shared by men and memsaabs.
但是作为房子的女主人 But as mistresses of the house,
女性处在了前线的位置 it was the women who were on the\nfront line.
对于一名年轻女子来说，从英国乘船颠簸数周 For a young woman,\narriving in this alien land
来到这片陌生的土地 after weeks on a boat from England
是一次令人生畏的经历 must have been a truly daunting\nexperience.
幸运的是，处处都有帮助 Fortunately, though,\nhelp was at hand.
印度管家和厨师完全手册 The Complete Indian Housekeeper\nAnd Cook,
作者 弗洛拉·安妮·斯蒂尔 格雷斯·加德纳 by Flora Annie Steel\nand Grace Gardiner,
这是一个非常有趣的窗口，可以一窥在印度的英国人的想法 is an intriguing window\ninto the mind of British in India.
它绝对能告诉你每一件事 It tells you absolutely everything,
从 要付给厨师的帮手多少钱 from how much to pay\nthe cook's assistant,
到 当你搬家的时候，以最好的方式 to the best way to divide up\nthe family possessions
来划分家庭财产，只需借助于11头骆驼 when you're moving house,\nby means of 11 camels,
还有 搬走一架钢琴需要多少苦力 to how many coolies it takes\nto carry a piano.
答案就是，如果你感兴趣的话，16个人 The answer to that one,\nif you're interested, is 16.
厨房是主要战场 The kitchen was the principal\nbattle ground.
在这里，有严重的警告 Here there were\nterrible warnings.
“厨房就是一个小黑屋，茶水间就是一个污水池” "The kitchen is a black hole,\nthe pantry a sink.
“能够屈尊清理这里的唯一的仆人 "The only servant who will\ncondescend to tidy up,
是拿着芦苇扫帚、蹑手蹑脚的野蛮人” "is the skulking savage\nwith a reed broom."
这本书在说到印度人的时候，相当地粗鲁 The book is astonishingly rude\nabout the Indians themselves.
“印度仆人，”这一点在这里说 "The Indian servant,"\nthis bit here says,
“在所有事情上都表现得像个孩子 "is a child in all things save age,
就应该把他们当孩子看” and should be treated as a child.
“就是说，对他们可以友善，但是一定要严格” "That is to say, kindly,\nbut with the greatest firmness."
妇女的责任是教会 It was these women's duty
本地的仆人用英国式的方式去做事， to introduce the native servants\nto the British way of doing things.
还要教会他们做一个懂得礼节的、忠实的下属 And to teach them their place\nas decent dutiful inferiors.
这本书完全痴迷于所谓的 The book is obsessed\nwith what it calls
当地人的能力一塌糊涂的说法 the natives' capacity\nfor uncleanness.
当然，这不仅仅是脏的问题 Of course, this isn't just dirt,
这也是一种外来的污染 it's also foreign contamination,
书中有一页特别提到 and one particularly telling passage\nin the book,
如果你租的房子在第一次租用开始的时候 advises not to worry too much
有一些脏，不用过于担心 if the house you rent at the start of\nthe season is a bit grubby,
因为这是脏是英国人留下的，不完全是本地人的 because it is English people's dirt,\nnot entirely natives'.
尽管他们有明显的自信 Yet for all their apparent\nself-confidence,
那些妇女们仍然生活在恐惧之中 these were women who\nlived in a state of fear,
担心印度的气候和生活条件会让她们丧命 fear that the climate and conditions\nin India might actually kill them.
圣史蒂芬教堂是乌蒂的最早的英国建筑之一 St Stephen's Church was one of\nBritish Ooty's first buildings.
它的墓地安葬了许多英国妇女和儿童 Its graveyard is full\nof British women and children,
他们来到这个新国度还没多长时间就逝去了 whose stay in the new country\ndidn't last long.
“怀念玛丽，马德拉斯文员 RC·勒温的妻子 "In memory of Mary, wife of RC Lewin\nof the Madras Civil Service.
1858年6月10日” June 10th 1858."
28岁 Aged 28, that one.
死亡和疾病在生活于印度的英国人中肆虐 Death and disease ravaged\nthe British in India.
在士兵的妻子和孩子中 Among soldiers' wives\nand children,
其死亡率是返回家乡的人的3倍 the mortality rate here\nwas three times that back home.
“深切怀念 伊萨贝拉·弗朗西丝·艾弗罗德 "Sacred to the memory of\nIssabella Frances Etheldred,
已故的第十四轻骑兵团哈夫洛克中校的 fourth daughter of the late\nLieutenant Colonel Havelock,
第四个女儿 14th Light Dragoons,
死于1851年6月18日，17岁2个月又3天” who died June 18th 1851, aged 17\nyears, two months and three days."
对痛失所爱的人，他们表达得多么清晰 How precisely they'd\nmeasured their loss.
与这种硬充的绅士气派和自以为是 Along with this snobbery\nand self-righteousness
相伴随的是一种刚毅和勇气 went a certain fortitude\nand courage, as well.
也许，他们冒充自己为当地的优等民族 Maybe they passed\nthemselves off as the master race,
是因为在内心深处，他们知道自己是少数派 because deep down, they knew\nthat they were an endangered species.
但逆境似乎只是刺激十九世纪的英国 But adversity seemed merely to spur\nthe 19th century British
在全球进一步扩张 onto further expansion across\nthe globe.
他们最成功的故事之一是在南中国海的 One of their greatest success stories\nbegan life as a swampy,
一个热带沼泽岛屿上开始生活 tropical island in the\nSouth China Sea.
现代的新加坡是帝国一手创造的 Modern Singapore\nis a creation of Empire.
它是在1819年由英国创建的，当时被用作商埠 It was founded by Britain\nas a trading post in 1819.
托马斯·斯坦福·莱佛士发现了它身处东、西方 It was Thomas Stamford Raffles who\nsaw its potential
交界处的潜力 at the crossroads of East and West.
英国建立了自由贸易和法治制度 The British established free trade\nand the rule of law,
并把一个遍布瘟疫的小岛变成了一个商业都市 and turned a pestilential\nisland into a commercial metropolis,
这引来了马来人，印度人和中国人 which drew in Malays,\nIndians and Chinese.
在这个殖民地的大熔炉里 In this colonial melting pot,
英国决心保持鲜明的态度 the British were determined\nto remain distinct.
对于一个初来乍到的老牌殖民地宗主国居民而言 As one old colonial put it\nto a new arrival,
“如果你想在新加坡获得快乐 "If you want to be happy\nin Singapore,
那就不要勉强过东方式的生活 don't admit you're living\nin an oriental country.
要尽可能地象在欧洲那样生活” Live as nearly as possible\nas you would in Europe."
帝国各处的英国人都是这样的 And the British did this all\nover the Empire.
他们彼此联系的核心是俱乐部 Central to this concoction\nwas the club.
这是新加坡板球俱乐部 This is Singapore Cricket Club.
从1852年起它就建立了 It's been here since 1852.
如果说平房是英国人避开当地人的居所 If the bungalow was the place\nthe British ran away to,
那么俱乐部则是把他们又聚集在一起的地方 the club was where\nthey came together.
俱乐部的内部被设计得宁静祥和 Inside, the club was designed\nto reassure,
这是一片永远为英国人服务的外国土地 a piece of foreign soil\nthat was for ever England.
现在它对所有人种都开放了，但它最初只是一个避风港 It's open to all races now,\nbut it was founded as a haven,
在这里 英国移民可以逃避身在异国的现实 where British expats could retreat\nfrom the fact that they were abroad.
俱乐部生活的核心非常具有英国式的激情 At the heart of club life\nwas a very British passion.
体育运动 Sport.
有板球俱乐部 There were cricket clubs,
高尔夫俱乐部 golf clubs,
曲棍球俱乐部 hockey clubs,
羽毛球俱乐部 badminton clubs,
网球俱乐部 tennis clubs,
狩猎俱乐部 hunting clubs,
那里既没有猎狗也没有狐狸 where there were neither\nhounds nor foxes,
还有在沙漠中的游艇俱乐部 and a yacht club\nin the middle of the desert.
撇开闷热、潮湿的天气，这些都是合情理的事 It was the done thing to ignore\nthe stifling heat and humidity.
俱乐部的会员在每场比赛后都会 As one member put\nit at the end of every game,
把衬衫和短裤拧出水来 you wrung out your shirt and shorts,
然后在安定下来准备细细品酒之前 then had a large glass\nof salt and water,
先喝一大杯盐开水 before settling down\nto the serious drinking.
除了体育运动之外 As well as sports,
还有业余戏剧演出 there were amateur theatricals,
吉尔伯特和沙利文最好的喜剧 solid British fare\nlike Gilbert and Sullivan,
以及最新的伦敦西区的走红歌曲 or the latest West End smash.
还有伯恩斯品诗之夜，桥牌会 There were Burns Nights,\nand bridge evenings,
舞会和化妆晚会 dances and fancy dress\nparties galore.
当然，还有在阳台上品茶 And, of course, tea on the terrace.
俱乐部还提供英式的可口食品 But clubs served\nBritish comfort food,
香肠和土豆泥，或者从梅尔顿莫布雷运来的派 sausage and mash,\nor pies from Melton Mowbray.
当新加坡俱乐部的成员想点新鲜木瓜时 When one member of the Singapore Club\nasked for fresh papaya,
他只会得到罐头杏子 he was served tinned apricots,
这是因为俱乐部不提供本地食品 on the grounds that the club\ndoes not serve native food.
由于罐装食品容易保存，所以俱乐部此举是在有意 As tins preserved food,\nso the club was meant to preserve
维护一个特定的国家认同意识 a particular sense\nof national identity.
如果与当地人混淆不清 只会让大家反感 Too much mixing with the locals\nwas frowned upon.
是什么让你们喜欢这个俱乐部？ What is it you guys like\nabout this club?
这里有家的感觉 It's home.
-家的感觉？ -对我来说就是家 -Home?\n-It's home to me.
在这里我交到了很多朋友 I've got so many friends here,
我36年前来到这里，我喜爱运动 I came 36 years ago\nand I play sport.
你还记得以前俱乐部是什么样子的呢？ Do you remember what the club used to\nbe like?
在这个方向，男性酒吧在那一边 On the side here,the men's bar was on that side.
俱乐部的一边保留给男性 The men's side of the club retained that.
那里有一个小牌子，写着“女性、儿童及狗狗止步” There was a lovely sign, "No women, children\nand dogs beyond this point."
我的母亲对此非常恼火 That annoyed my mother immensely.
即使是小狗也在抱怨 Also the dogs complained about it.\nWell, they would, wouldn't they?
他们抱怨也是正常的事 That would be a natural thing\nfor them to complain.
父亲把我带到这里吃午餐 Dad'd bring me in here for lunch.
我一辈子都在这里度过 I'd spend my whole life here.
我妻子是一名哥伦比亚人，她说，你知道 And my wife is a Colombian,\nand, um, she said, you know,
“要是这里不是一个专门的男性酒吧 "if it wasn't for the men's bar,
我们可能早就离婚了” we would have been divorced\na long time ago."
因为她知道我在男性酒吧里，我很安全 Because she knew when I was\nin the men's bar I was safe,
因为这里没有别的东西能让我蠢蠢欲动 cos there was nothing else\nI was up to.
因为如果你想在新加坡做点什么事情，总是很难 Cos Singapore is a terrible place\nfor getting up to a bit of, yeah,
也有可能...总有一些让你分心的东西 the odd... can, there's a few\ndistractions.
这里是我的避难所 This is my sanctuary,
如果不是现在这样，我想我可能早就回家去了 so, if I didn't have this,\nI think I'd probably go back home.
我想如果看看象你们这样的家伙，你们2个 I wonder if looking at chaps like\nyou, and a couple of, OK,
我也许会坦率地说 I might as well be frank about it,
是2个在新加坡俱乐部里的老古董 a couple of old fossils\nin a club in Singapore.
是这样的 Very much so.
与我们过去的殖民时代紧密相关 Clinging onto our colonial past.
你，那种，属于...你就是属于过去的人物，不是吗？ You, sort of, belong in the...\nyou DO belong in the past, don't you?
是的，我们已经失去了过去的时光，他是完全失去了 We do, we've lost it.\nI have. He's lost it completely.
但是帝国绝不只是这一种 But there was more than one kind\nof Empire.
英国人来到异国他乡，不仅是来做贸易或统治的 The British arrived on foreign soil,\nnot only as traders or rulers,
他们还在此定居 but as settlers,
他们决心要为自己在帝国建一个新的 determined to make a new and\npermanent home for themselves
永久的家 in the Empire.
他们发现了许多荒凉而人烟稀少的地方 They found plenty\nof thinly populated
可以实现这一目标 if inhospitable places\nin which to do it.
1831年，一个年轻的苏格兰律师 In 1831, a young Scottish lawyer
穿越了英属加拿大的白雪皑皑的野地 was travelling across the wild\nand snowy lands of British Canada.
他的名字是亚当·弗格森 His name was Adam Ferguson.
他千里迢迢从佩斯来到这里，是为了给 He'd come all the way from Perthshire\nto look for a suitable spot
苏格兰移民找一个合适的地点建造小镇 to build a new town\nfor Scottish emigrants.
众多的英国人把帝国视为一个能获取自己 Adam Ferguson was just one\nof vast numbers of British people
想要东西的机会，亚当·弗格森只是其中之一 who saw the Empire as an opportunity\nto make something of themselves.
在整个19世纪，还有20世纪初 Throughout the 19th,\nand well into the 20th century,
上百万的英国人 millions upon millions\nof British people,
离开家园，在帝国版图内寻找新的栖身之所 left home for somewhere\nin the Empire.
几乎每一个家庭 There can hardly have been\na family in the land
都有人离家去寻找 who hadn't said goodbye to somebody.
特别是苏格兰人离家的人数庞大 The Scots in particular\nleft their homeland in vast numbers.
他们将在帝国的建造中发挥巨大的作用 They would play a huge role\nin the building of Empire,
他们不仅仅是定居者 not only as settlers,
他们还是军人，传教士，工程师和先锋 but as soldiers, missionaries,\nengineers and pioneers.
弗格森和他的同伴们终于 Ferguson and his companions\neventually found
在一个避风的山谷里找到了合适的地点 a site in a sheltered valley
距离今天的多伦多60英里 60 miles from what is now Toronto.
在恶劣的气候里，那里有水力可以给工厂 There was water to power a mill,
提供能源，还有木材和石料可以用作建材 and wood and stone for building\nin a harsh climate.
最初，他们很艰难 It was tough going, at first,
他们建造了自己的小木屋，象这样的 they built themselves log cabins,\nlike this,
无论熊或鹿，他们都猎杀，以此获得生存 they survived on whatever bears\nor deer they could kill.
冬季是如此寒冷，以至于小麦都冻住了 And in winter, it was\nso cold that the wheat froze,
烤饼也因此很耐嚼 which made the scones pretty chewy.
在短短的几年中，原先只有 In only a few years,
几个小木屋的地方已成为一个蓬勃发展的小镇 a handful of huts had become\na thriving little town.
弗格森很谦逊地以自己的名字命名他的新镇 -弗格斯 Modestly, Ferguson named his new town\nafter himself, Fergus.
象弗格斯这样的聚居点 Settlements like Fergus,
在从加拿大到澳大利亚的帝国各处涌现出来 sprang up all over the Empire\nfrom Canada to Australia.
定居者们用他们所熟知的风格来建造 The settlers built in the style\nthey knew.
从他们居住的房子，到他们做礼拜的教堂 From the houses they lived in, to\nthe churches where they worshipped.
还有他们晚上聚会的酒吧 And the pub where\nthey gathered in the evening.
他们一直致力于 守住一个家的感觉 Always striving to hold onto\na sense of home.
弗格斯是一个被移植到世界另一边 Fergus was a little bit of Scotland
的小片苏格兰 transplanted to the other side\nof the world.
人们在这里组成了管乐队和冰壶俱乐部 People here formed pipe bands\nand curling clubs.
他们穿着短裙，庆祝苏格兰的除夕 They wore kilts\nand celebrated Hogmanay.

是一个通过传统、家庭和历史与英国本土相链接 a network of countries linked\nto Britain by tradition,
的国家网络 family and history.
这种成功社区的发展 The growth of this successful\ncommunity
是一种非常平静的过程 was a pretty peaceful affair.
但在一些殖民定居点，有着非同寻常的故事 But in some colonial settlements it\nwas a very different story.
原住民被迫离开他们的土地 Native peoples were\nforced off their land.
许多人是被骗以后签订了离开的协议 Many were tricked\ninto signing it away.
还有一些国家的原住民遭受了 Others had their populations\ndevastated by famine
由定居者引起的饥荒和疾病的摧残 and diseases introduced by settlers.
对土地最大程度的掠夺还是出现了 The biggest land grab of all\nwas still to come.
那些被称为争夺非洲的过程其实就是 What became known\nas the scramble for Africa
欧洲列强 saw the great European powers
与当地人民争斗后，瓜分了数百万平方英里 carve up millions of square miles\nas they wrestled
土地的过程 over the land and its peoples.
英国殖民者在20世纪初开始来到肯尼亚 British settlers started coming here\nto Kenya in the early 1900s.
这是一个地广人稀的区域，有山区，有森林 Then it was a vast thinly populated\nregion of mountains and forest,
还有广阔的平原和众多的野生动物 huge plains and wild animals.
那些定居者眼前一亮 The settlers liked what they saw.
西非满是沼泽和疾病 West Africa was full of swamps\nand diseases and things,
但在这里，土地肥沃 but here, here the land was fertile,
气候怡人 the climate was glorious,
就像英格兰夏日里最好的天气那样 like England on the very nicest kind\nof summer's day.
但是也有一个问题 But there was one problem,
最好的土地已经被占用了 the best land was already occupied.
当地部落如吉库尤人要么被贿赂 Local tribes such as the Kikuyu\nwere bribed
要么被威胁，要他们给新来的定居者让出土地 or bullied into making way for\nthe new arrivals.
作为对他们6个月劳动的交换，他们被允许在原本就属于 In return for six months' labour,\nthey were allowed to become squatters
他们自己的土地上开垦新地并定居、种植作物 and to grow crops on land that\nhad once been theirs.
这是一个令人不安的安排 It was an uneasy arrangement.
紧张气氛导致两边都产生暴力 Tension led to violence\non both sides.
一些基库尤人的村庄发生了可怕的情况 Some Kikuyu villages\nwitnessed dreadful scenes.
20世纪初的一个早晨 One morning in the early 1900s,
英国皇家非洲步枪兵团的一名年轻的英军中尉 a young British lieutenant in the\nKing's African Rifles,
接到命令，要查清一名白人定居者到底出了什么事 Received orders to find out what had\nbecome of a white settler.
他描述了他的发现 He described what he found.
“在村中间的空地上 "In the middle of the village\non the open ground,
出现了让我恐惧的一幕 was a sight which horrified me.
一个裸体白人男子的背部被钉在地上 A naked white man had been pegged\nout on his back,
他被肢解并被除去了内脏 mutilated and disembowelled,
他的尸体被路过的人当做厕所使用” his body used as a latrine by all\nwho passed by."
复仇立即开始，极其野蛮 Revenge was instant\nand it was savage.
“我们烧毁了所有的木屋”他说 "We burned all the huts," he said,
“我们把香蕉种植园夷为平地 "we razed the banana plantations to\nthe ground,
所有人都被开枪打死或者被刺死” and every soul was either shot\nor bayoneted."
英国的社会等级体系确保了各种不同的定居者 The English class system made sure\ndifferent kinds of settlers ended up
被分配在各种不同的殖民地，花花公子们来到了肯尼亚 in different kinds of colonies.\nThe toffs came to Kenya.
如果没有大笔现金，是不会被允许进入的 No-one without plenty of cash\nwas allowed in.
他们证明了自己擅长种植新作物如咖啡 They proved themselves good\nat growing new crops like coffee,
小麦，甘蔗，或茶 wheat and sugar cane, or tea.
他们建造了英国风格的大房子 Surrounded by their estates,
四周全是他们的种植园 they built grand houses\nin the English style,
有一种被称为黑暗大陆的 a taste of Edwardian England
爱德华七世时代的英格兰味道 in the so-called dark continent.

这是我叔叔的第一栋房子 That's my uncle's first house.

真是一个庞大的公牛队列，是吧？ That's a huge oxen train, isn't it?
公牛队列，通常是16头一队 Train of oxen, 16 was generally\na typical span of oxen.
16头，一次16头？ 16, 16 at one time?
16头装一车 16 for the one cart.
当然，在晚上 And then, of course,\nduring the night
牛会被关在一个荆棘做的 you'd have a little thorn enclosure,

你所有的牛都跑掉了，然后狮子会在黑暗中盯住其中2头 and pwoof, all your oxen had gone\nand the lions nailed\ntwo of them in the dark.
但是，我想，这是蛮有趣的事 But it was, I suppose that was part\nof the fun, wasn't it?
你知道，这让人兴奋... You know, it was exciting and...
那是一张相当不错的照片，这是你父亲，是吗？ That's a great picture.\nThis is your father, is it?
-是我父亲 -那是一头被杀死的狮子？ -That's my father.\n-With a dead lion?
是的， 这些狮子 With a dead lion. These lions,
它们可不像如今你在公园里见到的那样坐在那里 they didn't sit around like\nyou see them in a park nowadays,
那些日子里，狮子都知道如何照顾自己 the lions in those days knew how\nto look after themselves
而且，那时也没有公园 and there wasn't a park.
但是即使是狮子也不是它们以前的那种样子了？ But even the lions aren't what\nthey were, hey?
是的，它们总能过下去的 No! No everything's\nfallen by the wayside.
你认为这种努力吸引有事业心的人 Do you think this policy of trying\nto attract enterprising people
去花钱投资的政策 with money to invest,
在这个国家起作用了吗？ do you think it worked\nfor this country?
我觉得这个政策是长期有效的 I think it worked in the long term.
因为，不像今天，许多发展中国家都依赖于 Because, unlike today, where\nmuch of the developing world
援助、协议、捐献的资金 is developing as a result of aid\nand packages and money that donors
和物品才获得发展，那时候根本就没有捐赠者 and things, there were, there\nwere no donors.
这个国家的发展是基于那些像我父亲一样的 The country was developed\non the backs of the settlers,
定居者的努力 people like my father.
这里面哪一个是你父亲？ Which one of these is your father?
那是我父亲，他们带着家里所有的钱来到这儿 That's my father, they came and they\nbrought all their family money out
并且把所有的钱都花在了这个国家 and it was all sunk\ninto this country.
你认为他们了解 Do you think they had a sense
大英帝国的目的所在吗 of what the purpose\nof the British Empire was
或者他们只是关心自己的生活才来这的？ or were they just concerned with\ngetting on with their lives?
我觉得他们是了解很多的 I think there was quite\na lot of that.
英国人都为自己是帝国的一员而感到骄傲 Englishmen were proud of having\nan Empire, being a part of it.
我认为大约在那个时候，英格兰的每一个家庭 And I think that every family\nin England round about that time
都有成员 had a member of it
在帝国的某处为了国家的发展而做着贡献 who was serving or doing development\nsomewhere in the Empire.
无论是在印度的官员，还是在尼日利亚的警察 Be it a, an administrator in India\nor policeman in Nigeria
或者在肯尼亚的农场主 和南非金矿的矿工 or a farmer in Kenya,\nor gold miner in South Africa.
每个人都是家庭的一份子 Everyone had a member of the family,
他们全都强烈地感受到大英帝国 so they were all very aware of\nBritain's Empire
他们也都为此感到骄傲 and they were proud of it then.
你对此感到骄傲吗？ Are you proud of it?
是的，没什么让人感到羞愧的 Yes. There's nothing\nto be ashamed of.
一点不会感到羞愧 Nothing to be ashamed of.
一个非洲作家驳斥白人农场主 One African writer dismissed\nthe white farmers
是天堂里的寄生虫 as parasites in paradise,
靠着从别人那里掠夺来的土地生活 living off land they\nhad taken from others.
无论这样的评论是否公正，肯尼亚的白人殖民者 Whatever the justice of that remark,\nthe white settlers of Kenya
都觉得他们有权利开发土地 felt they had a right to the land\nthey were developing.
现在这里是他们的家 This was their home now.
这种紧张局势一直持续了半个世纪，最终 It would be half a century\nbefore this tension found
一个血腥的决议产生了，这个国家才蹒跚走向独立 a bloody resolution, as the country\nstumbled towards independence.
创建了该国首都内罗毕的是英国人 It was the British who created\nthe country's capital Nairobi.
这座城市仍然有早年的那种粗糙 The city still has plenty\nof the rough and ready feel
和快要建成的感觉 of the early days.
不到一个世纪以前 Not much more than a century ago,
这里还只是一条狭长的沼泽地 this was just a strip\nof swampy ground.
没有人把内罗毕规划为首都，事情就这么发生了 No-one planned Nairobi as\na capital city. It just happened.
这一切都缘于它是一条铁路线的一个站点，这条铁路线 It happened because it was\na railway stop
是整个大英帝国最雄心勃勃的铁路线中的一个 on one of the most ambitious lines\nin the entire British Empire.
卢尼提克线 The Lunatic Line.
对1900年的帝国而言 For the Empire in 1900,
要想有在家一样的感觉就意味着建铁路 making yourself at home meant\nbuilding a railway.
这条线路绵延600英里 The line ran 600 miles
从海岸开始 from the coast,
穿过内罗毕 through Nairobi
一直延伸到维多利亚湖 all the way to Lake Victoria.
它被建造用来把英国货物运送到内陆 It was built to bring\nBritish goods to the interior
并把原材料运送到沿海的港口 and raw materials out\nto ports on the coast.
这条线路也将激起那些英国农场主来此定居的念头 It would encourage British farmers\nto come out here and settle.
卢尼提克线还有很多配得上的称号 There was plenty to merit the title,\nLunatic Line.
其成本，大约值今天的5.34亿英镑 There was the cost,\n£534 million in today's money.
当时有一个工程 需要让一列火车 There was the engineering required\nto allow a train
能从海平面爬升到山区 to climb from sea level\ninto the mountains
然后再一路俯冲到东非大裂谷 and then to plunge down\ninto the great rift valley.
在这条线路上还建造了1200个桥梁 And to construct 1,200\nbridges on the way.
但是建造这条铁路线的不是英国人 But it wasn't the British\nwho built the railway.
甚至不是非洲人 It wasn't even the Africans.
这个了不起的成就是 This remarkable feat was the work
英国从印度带来的32,000名劳工、工匠 of 32,000 labourers, craftsmen\nand engineers,
和工程师的杰作 brought in by the British from India.
他们懂得在那里如何建造铁路 They knew how\nto build railways there.
很快，卢尼提克线就把咖啡、茶 Soon, the Lunatic Line was\ncarrying coffee and tea,
剑麻和小麦从定居者的农场运到了海岸 sisal and wheat from\nthe settler's farms to the coast.
这条铁路的建设是一个惊人的壮举 The building of the railway\nwas a staggering feat,
但它的建设也付出了惊人的生命代价 but it came at a staggering\ncost in human life.
2500名工人在施工过程中死亡 2,500 workers were\nkilled during its construction,
他们死于疟疾，意外事故，或吃人的狮子 by malaria, accidents,\nor man-eating lions.
像你的曾祖父和他的兄弟那样的人 What was the attraction for someone\nlike your great-grandfather
是什么吸引他们来这里的？ and his brother when they came here?
我意思是，老实说 Well, I mean, to be honest,
我认为我们离开这里回家的时候并不算成功人士 I don't think we were very well off\nback home, OK?
我的意思是，为什么你要离开你舒适的家 Cos, I mean, why would you want to\nleave the comfort of your home
而来到这蛮荒之地？ to come to this wilderness?
对他们来说，非洲是一块自然条件和植被 Harsh African conditions,\nvegetation,
都很恶劣的陌生土地 a strange land to them.
生活很不容易，水资源匮乏 It wasn't very easy\ncos water was scarce,
尤其是当他们穿过塔拉沙漠 especially when they\nwere going towards,
向萨沃前进的时候 across the Tara desert,\ntowards Salvo.
他们一连好几周都没有水洗淋浴 They didn't have water for showering\nfor weeks.
水只够他们喝的 They would just get enough\nwater just to drink.
我的曾祖父告诉我 And what my great-grandfather\ntold me is,
当马车要来取饮用水的时候 that when the carriage\nwould come for drinking water,
他们会假装很笨拙地喝水 they would pretend to be\nclumsy about drinking their water
基本上，他们会去把水舀出来 cos, basically, they'd go and scoop\nit out
他们会假装很笨拙的样子 and they pretend\nto be clumsy about it,
在这个过程中，水会溅到身上，就当小小淋浴了一次 and in the process\nhave a little shower,
你知道，就像，毫不夸张地说，就是把水泼到身上 you know, like, literally throw\nthe water on them.
还有那些危险 And dangerous, dangerous.
-是的，萨沃郊外的荒野和野生动物 -萨沃是一个地名？ -Yes. Wilderness, wild animals,out in Salvo.\n-Salvo's a place?
是的，那是吃人者的意思 Yes, that's man-eaters.
我读过有关这些吃人狮子的 I've read accounts of these attacks
一些报道 by the man-eating lions,
他们谈到人被狮子从帐篷里拖出去 and they talk about men being dragged\nfrom their tents,
他们的同事能听见人还活着的时候 and their colleagues being able to\nhear them
-被狮子撕咬发出的声音，是真的吗？ -是的 -as they're eaten alive by the lions?\n-Yes, yes.
太令人震惊了 Horrifying, isn't it?
让我问你一个政治问题，你的... Let me ask you a political question,\nthe fact that your comm...
你和大家现在都离家很远很远 you and your community are now a\nvery, very long way
而且你们现在处在一个陌生的文化中 from where, naturally, you came from,\nand you're in this alien culture,
你觉得英国政府把你们带到这里来 was what the British\ndid in bringing you here,
是好事还是坏事？ a good thing or a bad thing?
这是个不错的问题 Um, that's a good question.
老实说，我并不感到后悔 To be honest, I have no\nregrets for being here
当人们问到我，你是谁？ and when people ask me, you know,\nwho are you?
你从哪里来？ Where are you from? You know?
我会说肯尼亚就是我的家，我来这一点也不后悔 I say Kenya's my home, and I have\nno regrets for coming here.
那些修建肯尼亚铁路的印度工人 The Indian workers who built\nthe Kenyan railway
只是帝国庞大计划中的一部分 were part of a bigger Empire story,
是帝国为了满足对劳动力的需求 the shifting of populations\naround the globe,
而在全球各地迁移的人口的一部分 to meet the Empire's need for labour.
在18世纪，非洲人被当作奴隶送到 In the 18th Century,\nAfricans were taken as slaves
西印度群岛的甘蔗种植园 to the sugar plantations\nof the West Indies.
他们的后裔就是现在那些岛屿上的居民 Their descendants\nnow people those islands.
在19世纪，南印度的泰米尔人被送往 In the 19th century, Tamils\nfrom South India were sent
斯里兰卡的种植园去采茶 to pick tea on estates in Sri Lanka
或者被送到马来亚去开发橡胶 or tap rubber in Malaya.
所有人都不得不在帝国不断扩张的版图中安家 All had to make new homes\nin Britain's ever growing Empire.
世界仍旧在承受着这种庞大人口迁徙 The world still lives with\nthe consequences of these great
所带来的后果 population shifts.
在20世纪 In the 20th Century,
印度人开始成为肯尼亚经济中一个重要组成部分 Indians came to play a vital part in\nthe Kenyan economy,
他们从事店主和专家的职业 as shopkeepers and professionals.
在1963年12月12日 Then, on the 12th of December 1963,
肯尼亚脱离英国获得独立 Kenya gained independence\nfrom Britain.
现在，在肯尼亚的印度人被视为不受欢迎的人 Now, Indians in Kenya were\nseen as unwelcome relics
因为他们是英国统治下的历史遗留物 from the days of British rule.
他们中的许多人担心自己的未来 Many of them feared for their future,
他们向前殖民地主人求助，希望给他们提供新家 and turned to their former colonial\nmasters to provide a new home.
亚洲团体准备离开 The Asian community prepare to\nleave.
英国是他们的目的地 Britain was their destination.
肯尼亚政府毫不隐晦地告诉这些 The Kenya government had not\npulled its punches
持有英国护照的亚洲人 in telling the\nBritish-passport-holding Asians
肯尼亚不需要他们 they were not wanted.
这些亚洲店主们除了结束他们的业务 Asian shopkeepers were left\nwith little alternative
去寻找新的家园外，别无选择 but to wind up their businesses\nand seek new roots.
机场挤满了那些有幸得到 The airport was jammed with those\nlucky enough to get
飞往英国机票的人 flight tickets to Britain.
虽然当时的英国人并不是人人都对此感到高兴 Though not everyone in Britain was\nhappy about it at the time,
但是帝国终于回家了 the Empire was coming home.
许多肯尼亚的亚洲人选择在莱斯特这样的 Many Kenyan Asians chose to\nsettle in the Midlands,
中部地区的城市定居 in cities like Leicester.
在这个过程中，他们改变了英国城市的面貌 In the process, they transformed\nthe face of urban Britain.
今天，有超过四分之一的莱斯特人是亚裔 Today, over a quarter of Leicester's\npopulation is of Asian origin.
他们一直努力工作，就像在肯尼亚一样 They've worked hard\nand done well, as in Kenya,
在经营商店和做业务方面成绩出色 specialising in running shops\nand businesses.
-你一定是莱米拉？ -欢迎，杰里米，请进 -You must be Ramila?\n-Oh, welcome,Jeremy. Come on in.
非常感谢 Thank you very much, thank you.\nThank you.
莱米拉·沙阿14岁的时候从肯尼亚来到英国 Ramila Shah came to Britain from\nKenya when she was 14.
现在，她是莱斯特的一名工党委员 She's now a Labour\ncouncillor in Leicester.
杰里米，这是我的丈夫，苏雷什 Jeremy, I'd like to introduce you\nto my husband, Suresh.

但是她并没有回家的感觉，随后来到英国和家人团聚 but she didn't feel at home there\nand followed her family to England.
那是我们在肯尼亚商店的模型 That's the model\nof our shop in, um, Kenya.
是家族的生意嘛？ That was the family business?

从东非那么暖和的地方来到现在这个寒冷 Must have taken all of you some\ngetting used to,
的城市，你过去的习惯一定全都改变了 come from the warmth of East Africa.\nSo cold.
我想，在那时候 At that time, I think,
没有多少人有中央供暖系统 not many people even had\ncentral heating.
都习惯用使用木炭火 And used to use charcoal fires.
石蜡加热器，那时家里没有浴室 Or paraffin heaters.\nThere were no bathrooms.
-没有家庭浴室？ -没有，那时候人们都去公共浴池 -No bathrooms?!\n-No, people had to go public bath, at that time.
当我们住在我姑姑家的时候，她说 When we stayed at my aunt's house,\nshe said,
“你不能像以前在肯尼亚那样一天洗2次澡 "You can't have a bath like you used\nhave to twice a day in Kenya.
现在，一周只能洗一次，我们必须去 It'll be once a week, now.\nWe'll have to go city centre
市中心的公共浴池才能洗” to the public baths."
那么，你一定觉得我们这儿的人都很脏，是吗？ Yes so. You must have thought\nwe were really dirty people, did you?
一直都感到很奇怪 Must have been very strange.
不能洗澡，没有厕所，没有暖气 No bath, no toilet. No heating.
厕所在外面 Toilet outside.
当你思考大英帝国的时候 When you think about\nthe British Empire,
在这个国家，我能想到的大多数人 most people, as far as\nI can see, in this country,
都有一种相当显著的有关肤色的观点 have a pretty black and white view
他们总在想英国是什么样的肤色 about what the British Empire was,
他们经常被教导的 and what they're taught, very often,
是把你的准则强加给别人 is that it was, really, pretty much\na bad thing,
这真的是一件很糟糕的事 imposing your rule on somebody else.
你们这些人是怎么看大英帝国的？ What do you guys think\nabout the Empire?
在某种程度上，我很感谢英国，因为... In one way, I thank\nthe British Empire, you know, for...
你感谢英国？ You thank the British Empire?
是啊，感谢他们，让我们能在此时此刻 Yeah, thank them, because where we\nare, at the moment,

你知道自己刚刚说的话在政治上有多么不当吗？ Do you know how politically\nincorrect you are?
我来这里的时候，如果你想工作就会有职位 When I came here there was a job,\nif you want to work.
你可以去上大学，去学习 You can go to college, study.
我觉得那时英国人都很好，他们去了 I think very well British\npeople were, and they went,
那些他们统治下的国家，我们的国家就很好 where the country they ruled, our\ncountry was good.
你知道，被管理得不错 You know, it was ruled good,\nit was better,
每一样都很好，没有腐败，什么都没有 and everything,\nand no corruption, nothing.
这就是我的感觉 That's what my feelings are.
只要英国一离开任何一个国家 As soon as the British left\nany country,
我想那个国家就开始走下坡路了 I think it just went downhill.
这是我自己的观点 That's my own feelings about it.

无论是更好还是更糟，帝国改变了世界 For better or for worse,\nthe Empire changed the world.
但是这也让英国发生了变化 But it changed Britain too.
因为对许多曾住在殖民地的人来说，现在，这里才是家 For many of the peoples who were\ncolonised, home is now here.
