• 我想说的是，柴门霍夫不仅构建了一个语言学对象，而且在这之后还有一个理念——一个兄弟情谊的理念，一个和平主义的理念。这种理想的力量——世界语者甚至因此而受到纳粹主义和斯大林主义的迫害——至今仍为世界语者社区所保留。没有人能说这是失败的，但有一件事需要说明：任何语言之所以成功的原因总是难以定义的。
  What I’m getting at is that Zamenhof not only built a linguistic object, but that behind that was an idea — an idea of brotherhood, a pacifist idea. That strength of an ideal — for which Esperantists were even persecuted under Nazism and Stalinism — is still conserved by the community of Esperantists. One cannot say that it has failed, but one thing needs to be said: the reason why any language is successful is always indefinable.
