我不赞成对于已被查处的腐败分子一概套用“堕落”这个字眼,这很容易造成错觉。“堕落”这个字眼有其物理学意义,即从高处落下;也有其化学意义,即腐烂发臭。政治上的堕落应该是从化学意义引伸的,并不是在什么位置上栽了,就是从什么位置上堕落,还在位上的以至于还在继续提升的就没有堕落。栽在厦门远华案中的腐败分子,在 I am not in favor of applying the term “fallen” to the corrupt elements that have been investigated and prosecuted, which can easily create illusions. The word “degenerate” has its physical meaning, that is, falling from a height; it also has its chemical meaning, that is, rotting and smelly. Political degeneracy should be extended from the chemical meaning, not in what position planted, that is, from where the position of degeneration, still in place, and even continue to improve, there is no degradation.
