他兩歲大的兒子坐在他的大腿上

sits teaching English on the second floor of his house.

以防萬一，他的書桌下藏著一把左輪手槍

He keeps a revolver on his desk though, just in case.

舉起字典掩護，試圖拿起他的手槍

He lifts up a dictionary to shield himself

再也沒有比楊衢雲更偉大的革命家了

The assassins flee downstairs and disappear into the narrow alleys,

excited to collect their bounty from Qing officials.

孫中山一生中有許多名字，就像每個中國人一樣

他有譜名（德明）、教名（日新）、表字（載之）

And there was no greater rebel than Yeung Ku-wan.

畢竟，他摧毀了兩千多年來的帝制

但在1879年，他還只是孫文，一個在夏威夷的學生

七位在夏威夷聖公宗寄宿學校中的其中一位中國學生

Sun Yat-sen would have many names in his life,

他出生在華南，一個窮苦農民的兒子

生在一個像他這樣的孩子沒什麼未來的時代

他的家庭不是個能供他科舉當官的士族

百年來最大的叛亂——太平天國——在他出生前兩年被平定

Names with false passports to back them up.

自從英國在鴉片戰爭中得到香港後

現在，他們用廉價工業產品充斥市場，害中國工人失業

After all, he'd bring two thousand years of imperial rule crashing down

One of seven Chinese at his largely Hawaiian Anglican boarding school.

He'd been born in southern China, the son of poor peasants,

即使清廷願意接受蒸汽船之類的新科技

at a time when there was little opportunity for boys like him.

也得透過外國融資並聘雇外國工程師

His family were not scholars who could get him a government position.

The stagnant economy promised no upward mobility.

The largest revolt in centuries, the Taiping rebellion had ended only two years before his birth.

Ever since the British took Hong Kong in the Opium Wars,

foreign countries were scrambling for larger and larger chunks of Chinese territory.

事實上，孫文的哥哥前往夏威夷王國

Now, they were flooding the market with cheap manufactured goods,

Foreign steam ships sailed up the rivers,

至少對於有個能付得起學費的哥哥的幸運兒來說很不錯

Imperial attempts at modernization inevitably failed,

不像他村中的私塾，在這裡他能學到整個世界的知識

Even when the government did adopt new technologies like steam ships,

They had to finance them through foreign capital and hire foreign engineers.

a northern ethnic minority perceived as foreign occupiers,

kept insisting on the supremacy of their culture

and deciding there was no need for change.

In fact, Sun's own brother went to the kingdom of Hawaii to work in the sugarcane fields,

畢業後他進入教會學校學習預科課程

At least they were for lucky kids with brothers who made enough to pay the tuition.

Here, unlike his village school, he got an education that opened the world.

充滿新世界樂觀主義的標榜和自我精進的教條

這也讓他沐浴在基督新教的光芒下

So fast that he was soon writing the school newspaper and received an award from the king.

當他回家表明希望能受洗的時候

He learned about British and American legal systems,

但那些在夏威夷的日子改變了17歲的孫文

他現在看見自己的村子落後且迷信

於是摧毀了村中的神像企圖喚醒村民

with an emphasis on the American Revolution,

這讓他被村子放逐，而他只有一個地方可去

When he graduated, he moved on to college-level courses at a missionary school.

這是個真正的城市，一個位在亞洲的小維多利亞英格蘭

Here, the curriculum was more specifically American,

科技、金融、現代運輸、乾淨的街道和高樓大廈

imbued with a particular brand of new world optimism and dogma of self-betterment.

這座大城市和家鄉的比較向他顯示

and when he came home one day asking permission to be baptized,
