27、sion for Text A弗雷德里克道格拉斯逃离奴隶制克里斯托弗克莱因弗雷德里克道格拉斯从未像现在这么紧张过。随着巴尔的摩与俄亥俄火车 站的步步临近，马车在巴尔的摩鹅卵石街道上的每一次跳动，都让他感到忐忑 不安。这名奴隶，当时人们还只知道他的本名叫弗雷德里克奥古斯塔斯华 盛顿贝利，正踏上一段危机四伏的旅程，目的地为纽约一一也是自由之所。 两年前，道格拉斯逃离奴役的意图被一个同为奴隶的伙伴检举，结果被判监 禁。主人把他发配到巴尔的摩，出租给市里的船厂干活。道格拉斯没有被吓 住。1838年9月3号这天，他发誓要再次逃跑，尽管他知道这会有多危险。“我 敢肯定，如果这次努力失败，我的前途肯定就玩完

28、了。”他在自传中写到。“我将一辈子都摆脱不了做奴隶的命运。”道格拉斯将自己化妆成一个自由的黑人水手。考虑都他在水边工作时获得的 航海知识，这算是一个高明的计策。这名奴隶也清楚，在巴尔的摩这样一个航 海城市，人们对水手的敬意将有利于他的行动。他身穿一件红色衬衫，头戴一 顶水手帽，脖子上松垮垮地扎着一条围巾，口袋里塞着一张水手特别通行证。 如果铁路官员要求黑人乘客出示非奴隶证明，这可以用来代替“自由民证 书”。这是道格拉斯从一位非裔美籍水手那里借来的，但他与证件上的相貌描 述鲜有相似之处。只要铁路官员或任何官员仔细检查，便可发现其中的猫腻， 从而危及道格拉斯和他的朋友。为了躲避站内票务员审视的目光

29、，道格拉斯一直等到火车开始喷出蒸汽开向 北方的最后一刻才跳了上去。过了好几分钟，检票员才走进这节隔离开来用以 运载非裔美籍乘客的车厢。检票员仔细检查着乘客的自由民证件。尽管外表保 持着一副泰然自若的样子，道格拉斯的心却在扑通扑通地跳个不停。“我未来 的一切就看这位检票员的如何判决了，”他写到。终于，检票员来到道格拉斯的座位旁。“我想你应该持有自由民证件吧？ ” 他问。“不，先生。我出海的时候身上从不带自由民证件，”这位奴隶说。“但你总该有什么可以证明你的自由身份，是吧？ “检票员询问到。“是的，先生。我有一张上面印有美国老鹰的证件。凭此证件，我可以周游 全球，”道格拉斯答到。这位奴隶将证件从口

30、袋里拿出。检票员的目光装饰在 证件顶部那个权威的老鹰所吸引，却没留意上面错误的外貌描述。快速瞥了一 眼后，检票员收了道格拉斯车费，继续朝车厢的后排走去。“如果检票员仔细 检查了那张证件，”道格拉斯写到，“他必定发现我的相貌与证件所描述的持 有人相差甚远。”然而，道格拉斯的焦虑并未随着检票员脚步的离去而彻底消失。火车经过马 里兰和特拉华等奴隶制州的途中，他随时可能被捕。火车开得越快，这名在逃 奴隶越觉得它走得慢。”这段行程中，几分钟感觉是几小时之久，几小时则感 觉有儿天之久，”他写到。此外，好几次，道格拉斯的伪装差点儿就揭穿了。途中，这名在逃奴隶需要 乘渡船跨越萨斯昆那河。船上的一位老熟人开始对

31、他的行程刨根问底，道格拉 斯好不容易才把他给甩掉。接着，在河对岸开往北方的火车上，透过停在轨道 上另一列火车的窗户，道格拉斯突然发现他最近在他手下工作过的一位白人船 长。这位船长从未盯着这名奴隶看，倒是一位道格拉斯认识的德国铁匠的目光 落在了他的身上。这名铁匠专注地看着道格拉斯，但一直没向铁路官员举报。“我真的相信他认识我，”道格拉斯写到，“但不忍心把我给出卖了。”尽管障碍重重，道格拉斯还是在离开巴尔的摩不到24小时便安全抵达纽约。 虽然现在脚下已是自由的土壤，但在法律上，道格拉斯还不是自由民。一群群 猎奴者游荡在纽约的大街小巷，搜寻潜逃的奴隶。反对奴隶制活动家戴维拉 格尔斯为道格拉斯提供了庇

32、护所，直至他的未婚妻，一位名叫安娜默里的自 由黑人女管家，从巴尔的摩赶来。婚礼后的第二天下午，道格拉斯和他的新娘 启程前往马萨诸塞州的新贝德福德，一个更安全的避难地。在那里，他开始了 作为一名废奴斗士的生涯。为了在猎奴者面前更好地隐藏身份，这位逃出火坑 的奴隶将自己的姓氏由贝利改为道格拉斯。最后，他的支持者们筹集到了足够 的资金，为道格拉斯赎回自由身。道格拉斯成了法律上的自由民。回首往事，道格拉斯总是将1838年9月8日视为自己的“新生起始”日。在他 的余生里，这一天取代了那个他不知为何日的生日，成为他的欢庆之日。I.

33、n the ColoniesIn 1619, Virginia was an isolated British settlement on the Chesapeake Bay, sparsely populated by men trying to make the colony profitable for England. But the colonists were devastated by hunger, disease, and raids by Native Americans. So when the White Lion, a badly damaged Dutch sla

The Africans joined poor white Europeans as indentured servants. They would earn land and freedom in exchange for seven years of hard labor.The coloni

35、es prospered, and as exports grew more profitable, the colonists were reluctant to lose their labor. Unlike their European counterparts who held citizenship in their home countries, Africans were not subject to English common law. They were workers without rights. In 1641, slavery was legalized. Afr

36、icans became chattel, personal property that could be owned for life. Slave labor enabled the colonies to become so profitable that in 1660, Englands King Charles II established the Royal African Company to transport humans they called “Black Gold from Africa to the Americas.When England finally out

37、lawed its slave trade in 1807, America relied on its own internal slave trade. By 1860, a million humans were being moved and sold in the colonies. Families were torn apart. Traders marched their chattel from the east coast to the southern plantations. Along the way, slaves were herded like animals

38、into crowded pens, yards and warehouses. Traders and owners wanted a self-reproducing labor force, and the labels they used reflect the degradation of slavery. Bucks and breeding wenches were sold at auction, along with prime hands to work the fields and fancy girls-graceful, light-skinned women who

39、 were sold into prostitution or to be mistresses to their masters. The enslaved population was controlled by legally authorized violence一whippings and public floggings. Owners were fined if they did not punish recaptured runaway slaves. But slavery had always had its critics in America. As the slave

42、recent immigrant. He was also a believer in dialogue and in making alliances across racial and ideological divides, and in the liberal values of the U.S. Constitution. When radical abolitionists, under the motto “No Union With Slaveholders,“ criticized Douglass willingness to dialogue with slave own

43、ers, he famously replied: I would unite with anybody to do right and with nobody to do wrong.”General analysis of the textIn this piece of narrative, Christopher Klein gives an account of Douglass perilous journey to freedom.
