In Germany, they first came for the Communists,
   and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist.
   Then they came for the Jews,
   and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew.
   Then they came for the trade unionists,
   and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist.
   Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn’t speak up because I was a Protestant.
   Then they came for me，
but by that time， there was no one left to speak up.
   by Rev. Martin Niemoller, 1945

   在德国，起初他们追杀共产主义者，我没有说话———因为我不是共产主义者；
   接着他们追杀犹太人，我没有说话———因为我不是犹太人；
   后来他们追杀工会成员，我没有说话———因为我不是工会成员；
   此后他们追杀天主教徒，我没有说话———因为我是新教教徒；
   最后他们奔我而来，却再也没有人站出来为我说话了。
