「花生米」蔣中正

<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; background-color: #ffffff;"><center style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;"><strong>「</strong></center><span style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;">  自有綽號以來,政治人物便成為綽號應用的重災區。<wbr>綽號讓政治家更加風靡於世,綽號讓政客們加倍形神兼備。<wbr>人們喜歡給政治家起綽號,政治家也常常樂於自封綽號,<wbr>政治家們更喜歡互送綽號。「孫大炮」固然是調侃+嘲諷,「<wbr>鄧總射擊師」又何嘗不是控訴+憤怒也。綽號是政治語言的酵母,<wbr>政治在綽號中發酵。&nbsp;</span><br style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;" /><br style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;" /><span style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;">  蔣中正一生有過無數個綽號。簡單的有「老頭子」,親狎的叫「<wbr>校長」,調侃的叫「蔣光頭」,臭罵的喊「蔣該死」、「臭頭仔」,<wbr>不一而足。譽滿天下謗亦隨之,理固當然。抗戰勝利七十周年之際,<wbr>翻翻舊賬,冠諸老蔣頭上諸多綽號裏,「花生米」(peanut)<wbr>一詞格外顯眼。&nbsp;</span><br style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;" /><br style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;" /><span style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;">  這個別具一格的綽號,要拜二戰美軍駐華代表史迪威所賜。<wbr>查閱史迪威的個人文件集(Stilwell Papers),稱呼蔣為「花生米」,可謂史不絕書。不僅如此,<wbr>他在公開或私下場合裏,也曾口頭用過這個蔑稱,<wbr>以至於後來馬歇爾都曾聽說,並狠狠地訓斥了他一頓。&nbsp;</span><br style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;" /><br style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;" /><span style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;">  那麽,「花生米」在英文裏有何含義?內涵和外延為何?<wbr>這值得我們好好研究一番。&nbsp;</span><br style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;" /><br style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;" /><span style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;">  查閱牛津英語詞典(OALD),花生米「peanut」<wbr>除了其本來含義之外,似乎並沒有甚麽特別之處:&nbsp;</span><br style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;" /><br style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;" /><span style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;">  1、a nut that grows underground in a thin shell;&nbsp;</span><br style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;" /><br style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;" /><span style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;">  2、(peanuts) a very small amount of money&nbsp;</span><br style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;" /><br style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;" /><span style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;">  顯然,史迪威如果用「一小筆錢」來私下指代蔣中正的話,<wbr>並沒有什麽道理。誠然,中國是一個窮國。但嘲笑別人貧窮,<wbr>不是高傲自負的史迪威做出來的事。&nbsp;</span><br style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;" /><br style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;" /><span style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;">  那麽,既然「Peanut」並無確實意涵,史迪威又何出此言?&nbsp;</span><br style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;" /><br style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;" /><span style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;">  正沒做理會處,翻到Peanut之種屬Nut,這便一清如水了&#8212;<wbr>&#8212;Nut的含義多達七種:&nbsp;</span><br style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;" /><span style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;">  1、 堅果;&nbsp;</span><br style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;" /><span style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;">  2、 螺母;&nbsp;</span><br style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;" /><span style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;">  3、 人的腦殼;&nbsp;</span><br style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;" /><span style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;">  4、 奇怪、癲狂的人;&nbsp;</span><br style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;" /><span style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;">  5、 熱衷於某項事物的人(類似於日語的「控」);&nbsp;</span><br style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;" /><span style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;">  6、 男人的睪丸(如同闽南粗话「LP」);&nbsp;</span><br style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;" /><span style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;">  7、 (罵人)放屁!呸!&nbsp;</span><br style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;" /><br style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;" /><span style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;">  1942年7月19日,史迪威第一次在日記中,稱呼蔣中正為「<wbr>花生米」:「會見了商震,<wbr>并要求他將一份有關緬甸的備忘錄轉交給花生米。<wbr>這是一次要求花生米閉上獅子口、展現他合作誠意的嘗試。」顯然,<wbr>在這裡,「花生米」意味著頑固、難纏。&nbsp;</span><br style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;" /><br style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;" /><span style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;">  1944年6月14日,史迪威寫給妻子的一封信中說:「<wbr>中國的局勢看起來非常糟。<wbr>我相信花生米將會為他的愚蠢和頑固付出代價。」<wbr>無疑呼應了上一條記載。&nbsp;</span><br style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;" /><br style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;" /><span style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;">  1944年9月17日,<wbr>當史迪威得知中國在第二次緬甸戰爭中取得騰沖之役勝利的時候,<wbr>他在日記裏面不喜反憂:「如果日本人真的撤退了的話,<wbr>花生米就會變得更是不可控制了。」&nbsp;</span><br style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;" /><br style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;" /><span style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;">  1944年9月19日,得知羅斯福對蔣中正施壓,<wbr>史迪威興高采烈地寫道:「花生米的滑鐵盧」、「<wbr>我終於把花生米的臉給砸爛了」。字裡行間,面有得色。&nbsp;</span><br style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;" /><p style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;"></p><p style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;"></p><br style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;" /><br style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;" /><span style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;">  如是,Nut倒是恰如其分。<wbr></span><span style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;">史迪威一定是用了第四個含義指代蔣中正,<wbr></span><span style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;">另外又用了最後一個含義來辱罵蔣中正。或許,<wbr></span><span style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;">也因為蔣的光頭和腦殼&#8212;&#8212;這個別致的外貌給了史迪威第一靈感。<wbr></span><span style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;">幾重含義合一,就此,一個無理取鬧、固執狂妄的弱國元首形象,<wbr></span><span style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;">呼之欲出&#8212;&#8212;事實上羅斯福總統就曾警告過史迪威,<wbr></span><span style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;">不要用類似對付摩洛哥和蘇丹酋長的辦法來對付蔣中正&#8212;&#8212;<wbr></span></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><center style="color: #000000;

font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;">可想而知美國將軍們對中國和蔣中正的成見有多深。&nbsp;</span><br style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;" /><br style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;" /><span style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;">  綜而觀之,史迪威對蔣中正,不脫輕蔑、嫌惡、貶斥、忌憚、憎恨、<wbr></span><span style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;">仇視之複雜情緒。&nbsp;</span><br style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;" /><br style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;" /><span style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;">  蔣中正,NUT?&nbsp;</span><br style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;" /><br style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;" /><span style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;">  查閱蔣的日記,對蔣的這個綽號,我們可以知之更詳,知之甚明。&nbsp;</span><br style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;" /><br style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;" /><span style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;">  事實上,蔣對史迪威和英美的這種高傲的白人中心主義,<wbr></span><span style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;">表現的是不屈和抗拒。第一次緬甸戰爭(1942年),<wbr></span><span style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;">史迪威不聽調遣,擅離職守。蔣儘管在外交上不敢或失了些許禮數(<wbr></span><span style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;">這也讓他優柔寡斷,錯過了撤換史迪威的時機),&nbsp;</span><br style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;" /><br style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;" /><span style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;">  但在日記和私下場合里,蔣對史迪威們的態度,是羞惱、<wbr></span><span style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;">憤怒并不假辭色予以嚴厲指責的。<wbr></span><span style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;">蔣雖然終保持著中國仍是一個弱國的清醒和自知之明(<wbr></span><span style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;">在開羅會議中國提升為世界「四強」之後,<wbr></span><span style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;">蔣在日記里表達了中國國力並不足以忝列四強的冷靜,<wbr></span><span style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;">并未得意忘形),卻也不能忍受史迪威日復一日、<wbr></span><span style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;">不加修飾的凌辱和輕蔑。「余實已心碎精疲,幾不能久持。&#8230;<wbr></span><span style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;">此種橫逆與恥辱之來,實為有生以來未有之窘困。」(《<wbr></span><span style="color: #000000;

font-size: medium;" /><span style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;">  橫逆恥辱,不自史迪威始。在蔣的人生里,自抗日始。<wbr></span><span style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;">1928年日本製造濟南五三慘案,蔣下令「繞道渡河,繼續北伐」<wbr></span><span style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;">,堅忍、果決、耐心長期作戰之籌劃,于是已焉佈局。<wbr></span><span style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;">也就是從濟南慘案開始,蔣每天日記右上角一定寫上「恥」或者「<wbr></span><span style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;">雪恥」,這個「恥」字,終其日記絕筆,未曾改變。&nbsp;</span><br style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;" /><br style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;" /><span style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;">  日本誘降,蔣嚴詞拒絕,並在日記中流露說:「<wbr></span><span style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;">國民革命精神與三民主義,只有為中國求自由與平等,<wbr></span><span style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;">而不能降服於敵。訂立各種不堪忍受之條件,<wbr></span><span style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;">以增加我國家民族永遠之束縛。」(《蔣中正日記》,<wbr></span><span style="color: #000000;

font-size: medium;" /><span style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;">  蔣就像真正的忍者一樣,忍辱負重,堅忍自強。就像一枚硬堅果,<wbr></span><span style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;">你可以敲打它,卻無法擊碎它;你可以打敗它,但不可能征服它!&nbsp;</span><br style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;" /><br style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;" /><span style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;">  蔣中正是二戰期間遠東骨頭最硬的領導人。若沒有蔣公這個蒸不爛、<wbr></span><span style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;">煮不熟、錘不扁、炒不爆的硬堅果領導抗戰,堅持不屈,<wbr></span><span style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;">那麽中國可能早已被日本、蘇俄、中共、偽滿、<wbr></span><span style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;">地方派系們聯合瓜分,中國在戰後將毫無地位。<wbr></span><span style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;">我們根本會失去慶祝抗戰勝利七十週年的機會。中國換了任何人、<wbr></span><span style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;">任何力量,無論是糊塗的汪兆銘、陰狠的毛澤東、傀儡的滿洲國、<wbr></span><span style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;">騎墻的地方軍,都無法擔當這個硬如鐵石的Nut 角色。八年乃至十四年以來,抗戰領袖唯此一人。&nbsp;</span><br style="color: #000000;

font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;">以對抗各派的明槍暗箭,以此集合力所能及的資源,堅持抗戰到底。<wbr></span><span style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;">上述史迪威對蔣所具有的輕蔑、嫌惡、貶斥、忌憚、憎恨、<wbr></span><span style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;">仇視之情,偽滿、汪偽、日寇、中共、蘇俄、地方軍閥對蔣,<wbr></span><span style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;">也皆所具備&#8212;&#8212;或多或少,名目不一。今日觀之,<wbr></span><span style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;">蔣雖仍只能算是弱勢獨裁,這種弱勢獨裁,<wbr></span><span style="color: #000000; font-family: \’Times New Roman\’; font-size: medium;">卻奇跡般地支撐了八年之久,熬到了最終的勝利。&nbsp;</span><br style="color: #000000;
