7 Chapter 6 Nonviolent Noncooperation

Chapter 6 Nonviolent Noncooperation The peaceful gathering in Amritsar had turned into a violent massacre. The Indian people now knew they could not rally against the government without fearing for their lives. Gandhi faced this fear bravely. He would stand up to the British government with his own weapon of noncooperation. He urged the Indian people to stand with him as well. But they would have to be willing to face the punishment that came with breaking the law. Gandhi spread the word in speeches at political meetings and through articles in his magazine, Young India.

第六章非暴力不合作在阿姆利则的和平集会变成了一场暴力屠杀。 印第安人现在知道，如果他们不担心自己的生命安全，就不能团结起来反对政府。 甘地勇敢地面对这种恐惧。 他将用自己的不合作武器对抗英国政府。 他敦促印度人民也和他站在一起。 但他们必须愿意面对违法所带来的惩罚。 甘地在政治会议上发表演讲，并在他的杂志《年轻印度》上发表文章，传播这一理念。

In 1920, Gandhi became the leader of the Indian National Congress (INC), which adopted his nonviolent noncooperation campaign as its own. The INC was becoming a strong political voice for the Indian people.

1920年，甘地成为印度国民大会党(INC)的领袖，该党采纳了他的非暴力不合作运动。 公司正在成为印度人民强有力的政治声音。

Strikes had been one nonviolent way to stand up against unfair laws. Boycotts were another. A boycott is a refusal to buy certain items. In India, the British controlled the manufacture and sale of cloth. Gandhi urged Indians to refuse to buy the British cloth, so that the British cloth industry would make less money and profit in India. Instead, Gandhi supported Indians making their own cloth. By making cloth at home, the Indian community would keep more money instead of paying the British. Gandhi believed that spinning and weaving would help give Indians freedom from British control.

罢工是反抗不公平法律的一种非暴力方式。 抵制是另一个原因。抵制是指拒绝购买某些商品。 在印度，英国人控制了布料的生产和销售。 甘地敦促印度人拒绝购买英国布料，这样英国布料工业在印度赚的钱和利润就会减少。 相反，甘地支持印度人自己制作布料。 通过在国内生产布料，印度社区将保留更多的钱，而不是支付给英国人。 甘地相信纺纱和编织能帮助印度人摆脱英国的控制。

Gandhi himself vowed to spin thread every day. He even stayed up late into the night to spin if he had to. He started wearing khadi (clothing made of hand-spun cloth) with sandals, and a shawl in cooler weather. To Gandhi, the spinning wheel was not only a tool to make thread. It became a national symbol for India’s independence. In fact, a spinning wheel is still pictured on the flag of India today. GANDHI'S NONVIOLENT WEAPONS STRIKE: REFLISAL TO WORK BOYCOTT: REFLISAL TO BUY GOODS FAST: REFUSAL TO EAT It was not always easy for Gandhi to spread his message in a country covering more than 1.5 million square miles! Leaving his wife behind at the ashram, Gandhi reached out to the rest of India.

甘地自己发誓要每天纺线。 如果有必要，他甚至会熬夜旋转到深夜。 他开始穿khadi(用手工纺布制成的衣服)和凉鞋，在凉爽的天气里披披肩。 对甘地来说，纺车不仅仅是纺线的工具。 它成为印度独立的国家象征。 事实上，今天印度的国旗上仍然有纺车的图案。 甘地的非暴力武器罢工拒绝工作抵制拒绝快速购物拒绝吃饭甘地在一个覆盖150多万平方英里的国家传播他的思想并不总是容易的!把妻子留在道场后，甘地向印度其他地方伸出了援助之手。

Most of the poor in India lived in villages that were hard to reach by train or car. So Gandhi did a lot of walking. Of his journeys throughout India, he said “You will never get to know the real India until you get out of Delhi, Bombay, and the other cities and see how the overwhelming mass of Indians, half-starved and in rags, pass their lives in their

印度大多数穷人住在火车或汽车难以到达的村庄。 所以甘地走了很多路。 在他的印度之旅中，他说:“你永远不会了解真正的印度，除非你走出德里、孟买和其他城市，看看那些半饥半饱、衣衫褴褛的印度人是如何在他们的住所中度过他们的生活的。

wretched huts in half a million villages, toiling from dawn to dark in the nearby sun-parched fields to wrest a little food from a worn-out soil.”

50万个村庄里简陋的棚屋，从早到晚在附近被太阳晒干的田地里辛苦劳作，从贫瘠的土地上获取一点食物。”
