环球慢速英语 斯泰德森·肯尼迪对抗偏见(3)

Voice 1: Stetson worked continuously for his beliefs. As a man, he still remembered Flo. He remembered what the Klan had done to her. He believed that they demonstrated bigotry¹ more than any other group. The public was too frightened of them to stop them. And anti-hate groups had problems fighting the Klan effectively. People must have knowledge to fight hate. But, no one knew any real facts about the Klan.

声音1：斯泰德森为了他的信仰连续工作。作为男性，他依然记得弗洛。他记得三K党对弗洛做的事情。他认为，相比其他组织，三K党最为偏见。公众太过害怕三K党，所以无法阻止他们的行为。反仇恨团体在有效对抗三K党方面遇到了问题。人们必须拥有对抗仇恨的知识。可是，没有人知道有关三K党的真正事实。

Voice 2: So, Stetson decided² to fix that problem. He joined a Klan group in Atlanta, in the United States. But he used a false name. Stetson attended Klan gatherings³ every week. He began to understand the rules and traditions the Klan followed. He learned the special movements they made. He learned their secret passwords. A Klan member could find another Klan member by saying the secret password.

声音2：所以，斯泰德森决定改正这一问题。他加入了美国亚特兰大州的三K党。他使用的是假名字。斯泰德森每周都参加三K党的集会。他开始了解三K党遵循的规定和传统。他学会了三K党创造的特殊动作。他学会了三K党的暗号。三K党成员可以用暗号找到另一名成员。
