"Laughing at my losses, mocking at my earnings, scolding my nation, thwarting my business, alienating my friends, angering my enemies, what is he doing? I'm a Jew! Don't Jews have glasses? Would a Jew have no hands? No organs, no height? No senses, feelings, and passions? Wouldn't eat the same food? Wouldn't be stabbed by the same weapons? Wouldn't have been knocked down by the same diseases? Wouldn't have been cured by the same methods Don't feel the heat and cold like Christians? You stab us, we won't bleed? You scratch us, won't we laugh? You poison us, we won't die? And if you offend us, we don't Will there be revenge? If the rest of us are like you, we will be like you in this. If a Jew offends a Christian, what kind of humiliation, vengeance, will he suffer? If a Christian offends a Jew, take Christ The standard of a disciple, what kind of departure should he take? Of course, revenge. I will carry out the sins you teach me. But it will be more severe, and I will go further in your teaching.” This Chinese translation is also very powerful, compared to English is more perfect.
Why do Christians have such a strong sense of superiority? At the beginning of the film, Antonio spit in Sherlock's face, and my heart was filled with contempt for this "kind-hearted" elder.
The origins of Sherlock's revenge are not absurd. Antonio treats him like that, and he retaliates. Society treats him like that, and he hates society the same way. When the trial result announced that he was going to become a Christian, he covered his face on the ground and could not afford to kneel for a long time, which shows his loyalty to the nation and faith.
Sherlock's words are indeed worth pondering.
Personal stupidity.
