Issue 21在乎自己声望和社会地位的人很少能带来改革。而那些真正想要改善一个政府、一个教育系统或者其他机构的人却必须要接受世界上其他人的蔑视。Reform is seldom brought about by people who are concerned with their own reputation and social standing. People who are really in earnest about reforming a government, an educational system or any other institution must be willing to be viewed with disdain by the rest of the world.

Certainly reformers must have a supernormal sense of decision, perseverance and courage to face with skepticism, disdain and even dangerousness of life by opponents of reform, but in fact seldom are reformers scorned by the rest of the world. On the contrary, most people adore reformers highly for their lofty aspiration and behavior, whether they are successful or unsuccessful in their undertakings of reform.

Who strongly oppose the reform are always those people who feel that their vested interests are defied by the reform. To protest their interests, they would like to take any measure as possible as they can to inhibit the reform, or at least to slow down its process. In this case, people who bring about or even stand up the reform naturally become the main target of attacks by opponents of the reform. Only those who have been ready for these attacks can make a success in reform. But this does not imply that reformers are certain to be disdained by all other people else in the world, because quite often it is the minority whose interests are actually harmed in the process of reforming. Any reform that definitely harms benefits of most people is hard to be put into effect in a rational society. What motivate reformers are not simply their courage to confront with opponents, but their beliefs that their reform will bring a great deal of gains to the group, the organization or the society as a whole. Therefore, if we stick to say that reformers don’t care about their reputation, it must be the narrow reputation existing in a few people, not truly sustained one in the whole organization or society. 改革损害了部分人的利益，但会受到多数人的拥护。

At some times, a reform maybe do a harm to even most people in certain organization temporarily, but as time goes by, the benefits of the reform will gradually surpass its negative effects. In these cases, reformers will affront a much more forbidding situation because it is very difficult for them to persuade enough people to stand up their reforming programs. Many reformers confronted with this dilemma in history had to take arbitrary measures, and sometimes even slaughter opponents, to push their reforms forwards. Though these reformers were possibly scorned or even condemned by most people in that days, the latter beneficiaries will eventually recognize the greatness in these reformers and gradually change the unfair attitudes to them. A typical example of this type of reformers was the Peter Great in Russia. In history, the Peter Great has long been regarded as a cold-blooded governor who cruelly killed millions of opponents. But nowadays, people all around the world start to acknowledge that it was just the Peter Great who turned Russia, a backward country in seventieth century, into a modern nation. For the Peter Great and the other like, what is really greatness in them is that what they were persistently seeking after is not the temporary or ostensible reputation and social standing, but the permanent one in latter history. 改革会产生暂时的阵痛，但历史会还它公正评价。

Even when the reform is proved to be an unsuccessful one, people in general will also show their respects for the reformers to the extent that the reform is to be on behalf of the organization or society as a whole. Almost everyone knows the hardness of the reform from his/her personal experiences, and thus even failed reformers deserve being admired by other people. Undoubtedly, most reformers know this. In ancient China, there were many great reformers who failed in their reforming programs, but they still were regarded as heroes by their offspring. This adoration for failed reformers has become a critical motivation that boosts many ensuing reformers in later history to continue on their causes, completely contrary to the allegation of reformers’ attitudes toward reputation in the above argument. 改革即使失败，也会得到后人的尊重。

In conclusion, it is not the fact that reformers don’t care about their own reputation and social standing. By contrast, it is just their concerns about reputation to a certain extent that motivates them greatly to insist on their undertakings of reform when confronted with forbidding situations.

Issue 21在乎自己声望和社会地位的人很少能带来改革。而那些真正想要改善一个政府、一个教育系统或者其它机构的人却必须要接受世界上其它人的蔑视。Reform is seldom brought about by people who are concerned with their own reputation and social standing. People who are really in earnest about reforming a government, an educational system or any other institution must be willing to be viewed with disdain by the rest of the world.

Certainly reformers must have a supernormal sense of decision, perseverance and courage to face with skepticism, disdain and even dangerousness of life by opponents of reform, but in fact seldom are reformers scorned by the rest of the world. On the contrary, most people adore reformers highly for their lofty aspiration and behavior, whether they are successful or unsuccessful in their undertakings of reform.

Who strongly oppose the reform are always those people who feel that their vested interests are defied by the reform. （Those strongly detesting reform might worry that their vested interests would be defied by the change.）To protest their interests, they would like to take any measure as possible as they can to inhibit the reform, or at least to slow down its process. In this case, people who bring about or even stand up the reform naturally become the main target of attacks by opponents of the reform（by their opponents）. Only those who have been ready for these attacks can make a success in reform. But this does not imply that reformers are certain to be disdained by all other people else in the world, because quite often it is the minority whose interests are actually harmed in the process of reforming. Any reform that definitely harms benefits of most people is hard to be put into effect in a rational society. What motivate reformers are not simply their courage to confront with opponents, but their beliefs that their reform will bring a great deal of gains to the group, the organization or the society as a whole. （What propel reformers to confront with opponents is not simply their courage, but…）Therefore, if we stick to say that reformers don’t care about their reputation, it must be the narrow reputation existing in a few people, not truly sustained one in the whole organization or society. 改革损害了部分人的利益，但会受到多数人的拥护。
（我觉得最后一句突然和reputation连在一起，感觉有些衔接不上，若说：Therefore, the reform whose intrinsic ideas concerning on most people’ advantages would be respected and supported, even if it might, at certain extent, impair the profit of minor ones. 个人拙见 :p）
