t to the shoreline. “We started floating coconuts over to them. To our surprise some of the Sentinelese came into the water to collect the coconuts.”
In the two to three hours that followed, Sentinelese men waded from the beach into the water repeatedly to collect the coconuts—a novel product that does not grow on their island—while women and children watched from a distance. Yet the threat of an attack on the anthropologist outsiders remained present, Chattopadhyay recalls. “A young man aged about 19 or 20 stood along with a woman on the beach. He suddenly raised his bow. I called out to them to come and collect the coconuts using tribal words I had picked up while working with the other tribes in the region. The woman gave the boy a nudge and his arrow fell to the water. At the woman’s urging, he too came into the water and started picking coconuts,” she says. “Later some of the tribesmen came and touched the boat. The gesture, we felt, indicated that they were not scared of us now.” The AnSI team climbed to the shore but the tribe did not take them to their settlement.
Chattopadhyay说:“我们都有点担心(在1991年1月的远征),因为几个月前,政府派遣的团队遇到了通用敌意。”她的团队坐着一艘小船向岛上驶去,沿着一片空荡荡的海滩,驶向一股浓烟。几个哨兵,其中四个人装备着弓箭,向海岸线走去。 “我们开始把椰子漂浮到他们身上。令我们惊讶的是,一些哨兵来到水中收集椰子吃。”
在接下来的两三个小时里,哨兵们从海滩上反复地涉水去收集椰子--这是一种在岛上不生长的新产品--女人和孩子的远远的看着。然而,Chattopadhyay 回忆说“对人类学家发动攻击的威胁是依然存在。” 她说:一名年约十九或二十岁的青年与一名女子一同在龙鼓上站立。 他突然举起了弓。我用我在该地区其他部落工作时学到的部落词汇叫他们来收集椰子。那女人给了轻轻推了那个男孩掉进了飞机航路优先通道。在女人的催促下,他也来到水里,开始采摘椰子。” 她说:“后来,一些部落的人过来碰船。那个姿态,我们理解是表示他们现在不怕我们。于是ANSI小组爬到岸边,但是部落没有带他们去他们的定居地点。”
置换互换EXCHANGE
在任何人的一生中都会经历许多不公平的事情和困难。我们不可以轻易认输,而是要把这些困难解决,达成最圆满的结果。
比如当我们商品置换时,双方如果都想多占,就无法达成一致,最终会发生战争。这个时候我们就是要从意识上通过教育改变这种双方都想多占的意识。如果是一方想多占,一方要求合理,那么我们就去教育改变想多占的那一方,使得他们不再提出无理要求。如果是双方都要求合理,那么我们就可以达成等价交换,并通过和平沟通达成共识,再一起配合,达成共同富有的最佳效果,这就是双赢和问题的解决办法。
There are many unfair things and difficulties in anyone's life. We cannot give up easily, but we must resolve these TROUBLES and achieve the most satisfactory res
