  A famous actor often had to travel by train. Of course, a lot of his fellow-passengers used to recognize him on his journeys, and some of them tried to get into conversation with him, but he was usually feeling tired after acting until late the night before, so he did not encourage them to talk to him.

  One day he had just got into the train with all his luggage when a young man came and sat down in the seat opposite him. The young man took out a book and began to read it, while the actor tried to get some sleep in his corner of the carriage.

  When he opened his eyes, he found that the young man was looking at him with his mouth open, his book forgotten. The actor shut his eyes and tried to sleep again, but every time he opened them, the young man was looking at him with the same fixed look. At last he gave up the attempt to sleep, took out a newspaper, put it up in front of him and began to read.

  After a few moments the young man cleared his throat and spoke. “I beg your pardon, sir,” he said, “but haven't I seen you somewhere before?”

  The actor did not answer. He did not even put his newspaper down.

  The young man said nothing more for several minutes, but then he tried again. “I beg your pardon, sir,” he said, “but are you going to San Francisco?”

  The actor put his paper down this time, looked at the young man severely without saying a word, and then put the paper up in front of him again.

  This time there was an even longer pause before the young man spoke again. Then he said in a last attempt to start a conversation with the great man, “I am George P. Anderson of Wilmington, Vermont.”

  This time the actor put his paper down and spoke. “So am I,” he said.

  That was the end of the conversation.

These young men were a different kind of prisoner from those we had seen before. They- were brave, hostile(怀敌意的)and_1__ they would not take orders, and shouted "Amandla”at every opportunity. Their instinct was to confront(对抗)rather than cooperate. The authorities did not know how to handle them, and they turned the island upside down. During the Rivonia Trial, I remarked to a security policeman that if the government did not reform itself, the freedom fighters who would take our placewould some-day make the authorities miss us. That day had indeed come on Robben Island.

??? In these young men we saw the angry revolutionary spirit of the times. I had had some warning. On a visit with Winnie a few months before, she had managed to tell me through our coded conversation that there was a rising class of discontented youths who were violent and Africanist in beliefs. She said they were changing the nature of the struggle and that I should be aware of them.

??? The new prisoners were shocked by what they considered the inhuman conditions of the island, and said that they could not understand how we could live in such a way. We told them that they should have seen the island in 1964. But they were almost as sceptical of us as they were of the authorities. They chose to ignore our calls for discipline and thought our advice weak and unassertive(不果断).

??? It was obvious that they regarded us, the Rivonia Trialistsas moderates(温和派). After so many years of being branded a radical(激进的)revolutionary, to be seen as a moderate was a novel and not altogether pleasant feeling. I knew that I could react in one of two waysI could scold them for their disrespect or I could listen to what they were saying. I chose the latter.

??? 'then some of these men, such as Strini Moodley of the South African Students' Organization and Saths Cooper of the Black People's Convention, came into our section, I __2____

??? Shortly after their arrival on the island, the commanding officer came and asked me as a favour to address the young men. He wanted me to tell them to behave themselves, to recognize the fact that they were in prison and to accept the discipline of prison lifeI told him that I was not prepared to do that. Under the circumstances, they would have regarded me as a follower of the authorities.
