Before we say farewell, I wish to hearken back to when we first met.

不过，在我们道别之前，我想回顾一下我们初次见面的时刻。

Dear hunger strikers, Do you remember earlier when I said that Gandhi hearkened back to a mythologized Indian past?

亲爱的绝食抗议者，您还记得早些时候我说过甘地回到了神话般的印度过去吗？

This hearkened back uncomfortably to earlier beliefs that some modern races such as the African " Bushmen" (properly the Kalahari San) and Australian Aborigines were more primitive than others.

这是以前一种看法的回光返照，令人觉得不大舒服，那种看法认为非洲“丛林人”（确切地说是萨马拉桑人）、澳大利亚土著居民这样一些少数民族比别的民族更为原始。

I mean, after all, there’s plenty of violence in India’s past and in its heroic epics, but Gandhi managed to hearken back to a past that used nonviolence to bring change.

我的意思是，毕竟，在印度的过去和它的英雄史诗中有很多暴力， 但甘地设法回想起过去使用非暴力带来改变。
