Jake thought how strange it was to hear the Englishman say “darky” without being offended. Back home he would have been spoiling for a fight. There he would rather hear “nigger” than “darky,” for he knew that when a Yankee said “nigger” he meant hatred for Negroes, whereas when he said “darky” he meant friendly contempt. [Claude McKay, Home to Harlem, 1928.]
杰克觉得听到那个英国人说“darky”竟然没有感到冒犯,真是奇怪。在家乡,他肯定会想要打架。他宁愿听到“nigger”也不愿听“darky”,因为他知道当一个北方人说“nigger”时,是对黑人充满仇恨,而说“darky”则是带着友好的轻蔑。[克劳德·麦凯,《归乡》,1928年。]
