同类题2

阅读下列材料,回答问题。

19世纪70年代,英国探险家斯坦利率一支考察队在非洲考察,与当地土著相遇。对此事件,斯坦利和当地土著酋长摩基姆巴分别有自己的叙述。

材料1: 斯坦利的叙述

早8点左右,我们看到一个市场,附近停泊着许多独木舟。人们立即集合起来,从四面八方向我们逼近。我们长时间保持自制。但最后他们因我们的镇静而鼓起勇气,当某个人因此高叫“穆提”(投)、他们一齐向我们投掷木矛时,我们才被迫开枪,对他们予以回击,迫使他们惊惶逃窜……下午2点,我们从两岸树木茂密的河道中驶出……看到一支庞大的船队正停在河中央。那些船民发现我们后站起来,高声喊叫,把他们的号角吹得异常响……在5分钟里,我们全力射击,无暇顾及别的事。但最后我们意识到敌人正在距我们约200码的地方重新组织力量。我们热血沸腾。这简直是杀戮的世界,我们第一次感到我们憎恶居住在这里的这些丑陋不堪的食尸鬼们。

材料2:摩基姆巴的叙述

当我们听说那个白皮肤的人(指斯坦利)要来的时候,我们不禁惊奇地张开了嘴巴……我们对自己说,这人的皮肤是白色的,一定是从河流王国来的,他是我们在水中淹死的弟兄们中的一个。一切生命都来自水中,在水中他又找到了自己的生命。现在他要回到我们中间来,他要回家了。我们要举行一个宴会,我下令将去迎接我们的兄弟并陪伴他高高兴兴返回村庄……但是我们靠近他的小舟时,听到喊声:“土匪!土匪!”火杖向我们喷射铁雨,我们一时惊呆了……那天晚上我们回来时看到了可怕的东西:我们的弟兄死在血泊中,我们村遭到洗劫后被焚烧,水中飘满了死尸。那些强盗和杀人凶手消失了。现在请告诉我,那白人对我们公平吗?
