加州大学伯克利分校删除了两座建筑的名字，因为名字宣扬了种族主义！
The names of two University of California Berkeley buildings were removed Wednesday after a formal review found their namesakes promoted racist ideas.
加州大学伯克利分校(University of California Berkeley)两幢建筑的名字于周三被移除，此前一项正式审查发现，它们的名字宣扬了种族主义思想。
The process for removing the names LeConte Hall and Barrows Hall has been years in the making, according to a university spokesman. The public raised concern a few years back, which initiated the review by university officials, and workers Wednesday removed all signage containing the names at those buildings.
大学发言人表示，移除LeConte Hall和Barrows Hall这两个名字的过程已经酝酿了数年。几年前，公众就对这一问题产生了担忧，这也引发了大学官员的重新审视。周三，工作人员拆除了这些建筑上所有标有名字的标识。
Brothers John and Joseph LeConte came to Berkeley from southern, slave-owning families and, according to UC Berkeley, used scientific language to promote racist ideas.
勒孔特(John LeConte)和约瑟夫·勒孔特(Joseph LeConte)兄弟从南方奴隶主家庭来到伯克利，根据加州大学伯克利分校(UC Berkeley)的说法，他们使用科学语言宣扬种族主义思想。
David Prescott Barrows served as UC president in the early 1900s and, according to the university, wrote "the white, or European, race is, above all others, the great historical race."
根据加州大学的说法，戴维•普雷斯科特•巴罗斯在20世纪初担任加州大学校长时曾写道:“白人或欧洲人的种族，在历史上是最伟大的种族。”
It's the first time an academic building at Berkeley has lost its name. In January, Boalt Hall, UC Berkeley's School of Law, was renamed because of the racist writings of its namesake, John Henry Boalt, a 19th-century Oakland attorney.
加州大学伯克利分校的一所教学楼第一次失去了它的名字。今年1月，加州大学伯克利分校法学院布尔特大厅(Boalt Hall)因19世纪奥克兰律师约翰•亨利•布尔特(John Henry Boalt)的种族主义著作而改名。
For the university, the move is about removing the historic ties to these people, and it hopes doing so will strengthen inclusion and belonging at the campus.
对大学来说，此举是为了消除与这些人的历史联系，校方希望这样做能加强校园的包容性和归属感。
"What’s happening today is very important for the university and very important for the campus community, particularly for members of our campus from the Black community and other communities of color," university spokesman Dan Mogulof said. "While names may only be symbolic, those names have importance and weight, and when you have a building named for someone that had clearly racist views, that interferes with people's ability to have a sense of belonging, and it also contradicts the values of the institution."
“今天发生的事情对学校非常重要，对校园社区也非常重要，尤其是对我们校园里的黑人社区和其他有色人种社区的成员，”大学发言人丹·莫古洛夫(Dan Mogulof)说。“虽然名字可能只是象征性的，但这些名字很重要，也很有分量。如果你用一个明显带有种族主义观点的人来命名一座大楼，这会影响人们的归属感，也会与该机构的价值观相抵触。”
Until the buildings are renamed, they will be known as Physics South (Old LeConte Hall) and Physics North (New LeConte Hall); and the Social Sciences Building (Barrows Hall).
在重新命名之前，它们将被称为物理南(旧勒孔特厅)和物理北(新勒孔特厅);社会科学大楼(巴罗斯大厅)。
