The publication of Albert Einstein's private diaries detailing his tour of Asia in the 1920s reveals the theoretical physicist's racist attitudes to the people he met on his travels, particularly the Chinese. 公布的阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦的个人日记详细纪录了他在20世纪20年代的亚洲之行，这本日记也揭示了这位理论物理学家对他旅行途中遇到的人（特别是中国人）的种族歧视态度。 Written between October 1922 and March 1923, the diaries see the scientist musing on his travels, science, philosophy and art. In China, the man who once described racism as “a disease of white people” describes the “industrious, filthy, obtuse people” he observes. 这些日记写于1922年10月至1923年3月，纪录了这位科学家对他的游历、科学、哲学及艺术的思考。他曾称种族歧视为“白人的一种疾病”，然而，在中国，他却用种族歧视的态度来描述他注意到的“勤劳、肮脏且愚笨的人”。 He notes how the “Chinese don't sit on benches while eating but squat like Europeans do when they relieve themselves out in the leafy woods. All this occurs quietly and demurely . Even the children are spiritless and look obtuse.” 他提到“中国人吃饭的时候不是坐在凳子上而是蹲着，就像欧洲人在茂密的树林中放松自己时的样子。所有的一切都安静且拘谨地进行着。甚至孩子们都无精打采的，而且看上去傻傻的。” |
