||1: And they would not kowtow to anyone, whether rate-checker, foreman, boss or government. ||2: They dreamed—if they could get the whip hand, which they never would—of blowing all these boggers sky-high with dynamite, or sticking them up against a wall. ||3: It was not a communist thing. Mr Sillitoe was feted in the Soviet Union, but carried back an image of heartless chaos. ||4: Capitalism and communism both robbed a man of freedom. ||5: Mr Sillitoe's heroes defied all systems and were part of no class, except “us” versus “them”. ||6: They kept their own pride, like Seaton's sharp suits for a big night out, or the exhilaration Smith felt, “like the first and last man on the world”, when he ran through the fields alone, and wouldn't pander to the Borstal governor by winning a race for him. ||7: “It's a fine life, if you don't weaken,” was one Sillitoe motto. Another was “Don't let the bastards grind you down.”

||1:然而他们不会屈服于任何人，无论对方是评级员、工头、老板还是政府。||2:他们梦想着——假如他们能出人头地……事实上这不大可能——用黄色炸药将这些杂碎统统炸到天上，或是将他们戳在墙上抽几鞭子。||3:这并非共产主义者的阶级仇恨。苏联曾热情款待过西氏，可他回想的却是那无情的混乱。||4:资本主义与共产主义双双劫掠了人的自由。||5:因而，西氏笔下的主人公反抗所有的体制权威，除了用“我们”PK“他们”来形容之外，这些“英雄”不属于任何阶级。||6:他们的个性是骄傲的，犹如西顿身上很潮的服饰适合于意义重大的节日之夜，犹如史密斯所感到的亢奋激动那样——当他独自跑着穿越田野，违背教养院院长令其为他夺冠的意志时，他觉得自己“就像第一个和最后一个在这世上的人”。||7:8“你若坚强，生活就美好”恰是西氏的一句座右铭。另一句则是“别让那些杂碎整垮你”。

||1:Repurposing an existing word is harder; the inertia of the older meaning must be overcome.||2:But this can be done, as (more intentionally than Ms Gillard) theorists and activists managed with “queer”.||3:Whether inventing or repurposing words, in refusing to kowtow to inherited concepts Ms Manne is emulating Friedrich Nietzsche, who said that philosophers “must no longer accept concepts as a gift, nor merely purify and polish them, but first make and create them, present them and make them convincing”.||4:Sound argument is needed to persuade other philosophers of such intellectual leaps; to enlist the wider world, a compelling vocabulary is vital.

||1:重新定义一个现有的单词更加困难；必须克服使用其旧意义的习惯。||2:但这是可以做到的，正如(比吉拉德更有意为之)理论家和活动家成功使用了“queer（同性恋者）”一词。||3:无论是发明词汇还是重新使用词汇，曼恩拒绝向继承下来的概念低头，都是在效仿弗里德里希?尼采，尼采认为哲学家“不能再把概念当作礼物来接受，也不能再仅仅净化和润色它们，但首先要制作并创造它们，呈现它们，让它们令人信服。”||4:要说服其他哲学家实现这种思想上的飞跃，需要有充分的论据；要争取更广泛的世界，一个引人注目的词汇是至关重要的。
