Οι λόγοι
του Ζολώτα στην "αγγλική"
Στη σελίδα αυτή παρατίθενται οι εκπληκτικά
ευρηματικοί λόγοι που εκφώνησε ο καθηγητής πανεπιστημίου,
ακαδημαϊκός και πρώην πρωθυπουργός Ξενοφών Ζολώτας το 1957.
Σε αυτούς, μολονότι το κείμενο είναι γραμμένο στην αγγλική
γλώσσα, ο συντάκτης χρησιμοποιεί αποκλειστικά (πλην κάποιων
απαραίτητων συνδέσμων, άρθρων κτλ) ελληνικές λέξεις που αποτελούν
δάνεια της ελληνικής προς την αγγλική γλώσσα! Η πρωτότυπη
και ιδιαιτέρως ευφυής αυτή ιδέα, η οποία δεν προβάλλεται σχεδόν
καθόλου, βρίσκεται στον αντίποδα της συνηθισμένης τακτικής
μεγάλου μέρους των νεοελλήνων, οι οποίοι κάνουν το ακριβώς
αντιστρόφως ανάλογο: χρησιμοποιούν, δηλαδή, ελληνικό λόγο
με τόσα πολλά αγγλοσαξονικά δάνεια που αρχίζεις να αμφιβάλλεις
για το αν ακούς ελληνικά ή αγγλοσαξονικά.
Διαβάστε τους, ακόμη κι αν δεν γνωρίζετε
γρι αγγλικά! Δε χρειάζονται μετάφραση.
Α΄ λόγος: 26 Σεπτεμβρίου
1957
"Kyrie,
Ι eulogize the archons of the Panethnic
Numismatic Thesaurus and the Ecumenical Trapeza for the
orthodoxy of their axioms, methods and policies, although
there is an episode of cacophony of the Trapeza with Hellas.
With enthusiasm we dialogue and synagonize
at the synods of our didymous Organizations in which polymorphous
economic ideas and dogmas are analyzed
and synthesized.
Our critical problems such as the numismatic
plethora generate some agony and melancholy. This phenomenon
is characteristic of our epoch. But, to my thesis, we have
the dynamism to program therapeutic practices as a prophylaxis
from chaos and catastrophe. In parallel, a panethnic unhypocritical
economic synergy and harmonization in a democratic climate
is basic.
I apologize for my eccentric monologue.
I emphasize my eucharistia to you Kyrie, to the eugenic
and generous American Ethnos and to the organizers and protagonists
of this Amphictyony and the gastronomic symposia".
Β΄ λόγος: 2 Οκτωβρίου
1959
"Kyrie,
It is Zeus' anathema on our epoch for the
dynamism of our economies and the heresy of our economic
methods and policies that we should agonise between the
Scylla of numismatic plethora and the Charybdis of economic
anemia. It is not my idiosyncrasy to be ironic or sarcastic
but my diagnosis would be that politicians are rather cryptoplethorists.
Although they emphatically stigmatize numismatic plethora,
energize it through their tactics and
practices.
Our policies have to be based more on economic and less
on political criteria.
Our gnomon has to be a metron between political,
strategic and philanthropic scopes. Political magic has
always been antieconomic.
In an epoch characterized by monopolies,
oligopolies, menopsonies, monopolistic antagonism and polymorphous
inelasticities, our policies have to be more orthological.
But this should not be metamorphosed into plethorophobia
which is endemic among academic economists.
Numismatic symmetry should not antagonize
economic acme. A greater harmonization between the practices
of the economic and numismatic archons is basic.
Parallel to this, we have to synchronize
and harmonize more and more our economic and numismatic
policies panethnically. These scopes are more practical
now, when the prognostics of the political and economic
barometer
are halcyonic.
The history of our didymous organizations
in this sphere has been didactic and their gnostic practices
will always be a tonic to the polyonymous and idiomorphous
ethnical economics. The genesis of the programmed organisations
will dynamize these policies. I sympathise, therefore, with
the aposties and the hierarchy of our organisations in their
zeal to programme orthodox economic and numismatic policies,
although I have some logomachy with them.
I apologize for having tyrannized you with
my hellenic phraseology. In my epilogue, I emphasize my
eulogy to the philoxenous autochthons of this cosmopolitan
metropolis and my encomium to you, Kyrie, and the stenographers".
