“在日常生活中,一个人开口说话前总会稍顿一下,或者说需要沉思一下。但一个党员受命对一个政治的或伦理的问题下判断发言时,应有能量像机枪发射子弹那么自然地发射出正确的见解。他本来就训练有素,掌握着的新语可说是万无一失的工具。这些词语听来刺耳,形式看来有点刻意求丑,但这倒是跟英社精神非常协调。新语的结构让党员发言时有个依靠。”
For the purposes of everyday life it was no doubt necessary, or sometimes necessary, to reflect before speaking, but a Party member called upon to make a political or ethical judgement should be able to spray forth the correct opinions as automatically as a machine gun spraying forth bullets. His training fitted him to do this, the language gave him an almost foolproof instrument, and the texture of the words, with their harsh sound and a certain wilful ugliness which was in accord with the spirit of Ingsoc, assisted the process still further.
