good evening London. Allow me first to apologize.I do, like many of you, appreciate the comforts of everyday routine, the security of the familiar, tranquility of repetition. I enjoy them as much as any block. But in the spirit of commemoration whereby there's important events of the past usually associated with someone's death or the end of some awful, bloody struggle are celebarted with a nice holiday.
I thought we could mark this november the 5th a day that is, sadly, no longer remembered. by taking some tome out of our daily lives to sit down and have a little chat. there are, of course, those who do not want us to speak. I expect, even now, orders are being shouted into telephones and men with guns will soon be on their way. why? Because while the truncheon may be in lieu of conversation. words will aways retain their power. words offer the means to meaning and for those who will listen, they enunciation of truth. And the turth is there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn't that? cruelty and injustice, intolerance and oppression and where once you had the freedom to object to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systerm of surveillance coercing your conforming and soliciting your submission.
How did this happen?
Who's to blame.
oh certainly there are those who are more responsible than others. And they will be held accountable.
But again, truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.
I know why you did it.
I know you are afraid.
Who wouldn't be? War, terror, disease.
There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense.
Fear got the best of you. And in your panic you turned to the now High Chancellor Adam Sutler.
He promise you order,
he promise you peace.
And all he demanded in return was your silent, obedient, consent.
Last night, I sought to end that silent, last night, I destroyed the old Beiley to remind this country of what it has forgotten.
More than 400 years ago, a great citizen wish to imbed the 5th of november forever in our memory. His hope was to remind the world that fairness, just and freedom are more than words.
They are perspectives.
So if you've seen nothing, if the crimes of this goverment remain unknow to you then I would suggest you allow the 5th of november to pass unmarked.
But if you see what I see, if you feel as I feel, and if you would seek as I seek, then I ask you to stand beside me, one year from tonight, outside the gates of parliament. And together, we shall give them a 5th of november that shall never, ever be forgot.
这是一段让我热泪盈眶的台词，不论这部电影看了多少遍，每一次看到这里，都会情绪激动。V声情并茂的演绎，让这文字有了最震撼的冲击力，每一个字都冲击我的灵魂，让我激动的颤抖，让我兴奋，也让我羞愧。
But again, truth be told, if you looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.
社会是人组成的，社会的现状是每个人共同作用的结果，尽管能力有大小，地位有高低。有人有一呼百应的号召力，有人默默无闻。但这不是苟且的理由，你的沉默，他的沉默，加起来就是全社会的沉默。我的懦弱，他的懦弱，就是一个懦弱的社会。一个沉默、懦弱的社会，自然会有居心不良的人，妄图通过恐惧攫取权力，他们欺压善良，驱逐异议。
罗马不是一天建成的，极权统治也是，不管是希特勒还是斯大林。都是一步一步的压缩社会空间，这一步步压缩，对应着民众的一步步让步，这种让步就是与邪恶的合作，用我看到了一段话来说就是，起先他们反对民主党人，我不是民主党人，我没有说话，然后他们反对社会党人，我不是社会党人，我没有说话，他们反对犹太人，我不是犹太人，我没有说话，最后他们反对我，已经没有人为我说话了。
不要说，自己人微言轻，说不说不会有什么不同。事情并不是这个样子，极权国家当然不是按照民意来运行，但是民意并不是完全可以忽略的。就算独裁恶毒如希特勒、戈贝尔之流，在凶狠的民意面前，也会作出一点点的让步。根据纳粹的优生学，残疾儿童是没有存活的必要的，尤其在帝国东西两线作战，粮食物资严重吃紧的情况下，这些残疾儿童只会浪费国家及其珍贵的物资，他们必须被消灭，这种消灭采用隐秘手段，在全国建立残疾儿童福利医院，以集中照顾的名义，从家长手中把残疾儿童接走，再在医院中消灭。德国人发现这一秘密后，群情激愤，纳粹不得不取消这一行动。第三帝国的历史上，就有这么一次，也是唯一的一次，汹涌的民意战胜了国家权力。
我也不是要每个人都变成V 那样的革命烈士，毕竟那要求太高，难度太大，而且除了在最最绝望的年代，激烈的革命斗争，总是带来严重的社会伤害，这伤害也许并不比它所带来的改善要小。也不是说，要克服心中恐惧，就必定经历女主那一连串的生理心理折磨，置之死地而后生，那是大彻大悟般的决裂，我们没有到那一步。
我们要做的，都是极小的事。看到有人插队，不要只在心里嘀咕，勇敢的站出来，要求其排队。看到有人乱扔垃圾，不要只在心里鄙视此人，要当面指出其不足。这些人或许会改，或许不会，改了最好，不改，与我们来说，我们的境地也没有比默不作声变得更坏。要关心自己的生活环境，当有压力要来压缩我们的生活空间，不要不做任何抵抗就直接放弃。
克制内心恐惧的能力，和我们的其他任何能力一样，都是需要锻炼的。练习越多，能力越熟练，内心就会越强大，恐惧就会越小。而上面提到的这些小事，就是对这一能力的锻炼，等到恐惧稍微少一点点，我们就可以关注稍微大一点点的事。看到街上有人打架，可以大喊一声，我已经报警了，看到有人打女人，并声称是家务事，可以把人拉开。
当然这会遇到挫折，可能某个彪形大撸起袖子让你滚，这种时候，该退缩退缩。但是不能因为这而沉默，我们没有实力也没有必要去和他硬碰，也不要让一次两次的挫折，使自己丧失希望。坚持下去，相信念念不忘，必有回响。
社会事件，不要觉得事不关己，几千几万个微弱的声音，汇集起来就是大海。这些年，从取消收容遣送到取消劳动改造，不能说没有这些微弱声音的功劳。自家小区需要建草坪，围墙或者停车场，就把诉求表达出来，不能等待别人表达，然后自己搭便车。
我们每前进一步，内心的恐惧就减少一点，不用成为殉道者，只是为了自己的生活能更多的掌握在自己的手里，从关系身边小事做起。
