Η άφατη δυναμική και γοητεία της Ελληνικής γλώσσας
Ο πρώην πρωθυπουργός και καθηγητής κ. Ξενοφών Ζολώτας είχε
εκφωνήσει δύο λόγους στην Ουάσιγκτον (στις 26 Σεπτεμβρίου 1957 και στις 2
Οκτωβρίου 1959), οι οποίοι έμειναν μνημειώδεις. Αιτία ως προς αυτό δεν ήταν
μόνο το περιεχόμενό τους αλλά και η γλώσσα τους. Υποτίθεται ότι η γλώσσα των
λόγων ήταν η αγγλική. Κατ' ουσίαν όμως, με την αφαίρεση λίγων συνδέσμων, άρθρων
και προθέσεων η γλώσσα είναι η Ελληνική. Το ακροατήριό του αποτελούσαν οι
σύνεδροι της Διεθνούς Τράπεζας Ανασυγκρότησης και Ανάπτυξης και δεν
αντιμετώπισαν τότε κανένα πρόβλημα στην κατανόηση τού προφορικού κειμένου που
ανέγνωσε ο Έλληνας καθηγητής. Εκείνο τον καιρό, κατείχε την θέση τού διευθυντή
Τραπέζης Ελλάδος και διαχειριστή του ελληνικού Δημοσίου Χρέους. Ακολουθεί ο λόγος της 26/9/1957:
"I always wished to address this Assembly in Greek, but realized that it would have been indeed "Greek" to all present in this room. I found out, however, that I could make my address in Greek which would still be English to everybody. With your permission, Mr. Chairman, l shall do it now, using with the exception of articles and prepositions, only Greek words.
"Kyrie, I 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 withHellas .
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 euharistia to you, Kyrie
to the eugenic arid generous American Ethnos and to the organizes and
protagonists of his Amphictyony and the gastronomic symposia".
Δύο χρόνια αργότερα, το 1959, ο Ξ. Ζολώτας έδωσε μία άλλη ελληνοαγγλική ομιλία, ζητώντας να τον ακούσουν με προσοχή, ακόμα κι αν υπήρχε ο κίνδυνος να κουράσει τους ακροατές του. Ιδού ο λόγος και η ελληνική του "μεταγραφή":
Kyrie, it is Zeus' anathema on our epoch (for the dynamism of our economies) and the heresy of our economic method and policies that we should agonize the Scylla of numismatic plethora and the Charybdis of economic anaemia. It is not my idiosyncracy to be ironic or sarcastic but my diagnosis would be that politicians are rather cryptoplethorists. Although they emphatically stigmatize numismatic plethora, they energize it through their tactics and practices. Our policies should be based more on economic and less on political criteria. Our gnomon has to be a metron between economic, strategic and philanthropic scopes. Political magic has always been anti-economic. In an epoch characterized by monopolies, oligopolies, 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 practicable now, when the prognostics of the political and economic barometer are halcyonic. The history of our didimus organization on this sphere has been didactic and their gnostic practices will always be a tonic to the polyonymous and idiomorphous ethnical economies. The genesis of the programmed organization will dynamize these policies. Therefore, Ι sympathize, although not without criticism, one or two themes with the apostles and the hierarchy of our organs in their zeal to program 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 autochthones of this cosmopolitan metropolis and my encomium to you, Kyrie stenographers.
Στο παρελθόν, ο Ξ. Ζολώτας είχε εκφωνήσει και έναν ελληνο-γαλλικό λόγο. Ευκαιρία να μάθουμε και λίγα γαλικούλια!
Le Dédale Synchrone Du Cosmos Politique
Kyrie, Sans apostropher ma rhétorique dans l emphase et la pléthore, j analyserai elliptiquement, sans nul gallicisme, le dédale synchrone du cosmos politique caractérise par des syndromes de crise paralysant l organisation systématique de notre économie. Nous sommes périodiquement sceptiques et neurasthéniques devant ces paroxysmes périphrastiques, cette boulimie des démagogues, ces hyperboles, ces paradoxes hypocrites et cyniques qui symbolisent une démocratie anachronique et chaotique. Les phénomènes fantastiques qu’on nous prophétise pour l époque astronomique détrôneront les programmes rachitiques, hybrides et sporadiques de notre cycle atomique. Seule une panacée authentique et draconienne métamorphosera cette agonie prodrome de l apocalypse et une genèse homologue du Phénix. Les économistes technocrates seront les stratèges d un théâtre polémique et dynamique et non les prosélytes du marasme. Autochtones helléniques, dans une apologie cathartique, psalmodions les théorèmes de la démocratie thésaurisant et héroïque, soyons allergiques aux parasites allogènes dont les sophismes trop hyalins n ont qu’une pseudo dialectique. En épilogue a ces agapes, mon amphore a l apogée, je prophétise toute euphorie et apothéose a Monsieur Giscard d Estaing, prototype enthousiasmant de la néo-orthodoxie économique et symbole de la palingénésie de son ethnie gallique.
