Μαθηματικός (Εκ)παιδευόμενη

Ελληνική, μια πλούσια γλώσσα…

 Κείμενα που, κατά τη γνώμη μου είναι χρήσιμο, να έχει κάποιος στο αρχείο του.

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 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 euharistia to you, Kyrie to the eugenic arid generous American Ethnos and to the organizers 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 Skylla of nomismatic 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 nomismatic 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. Nomismatic symmetry should not antagonize economic acme. A greater harmonization between the practices of the economic and nomismatic archons is basic. Parallel to this,we have to synchronize and harmonize more and more our economic and nomismatic 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, i 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 nomismatic policies, although I have some logomachy with them.I apologize for having tyranized you with my Hellenic phraseology. In my epilogue, i emphasize my eulogy to the philoxenous aytochtons of this cosmopolitan metropolis and my encomium to you, Kyrie stenographers.

Στο 5ο Ευρωπαϊκό Συνέδριο Ορθοπεδικής στη Ρόδο, πήραν μέρος Ελληνες και Ευρωπαίοι ορθοπεδικοί. Κατά τη διάρκεια του συνεδρίου έγιναν σημαντικές ανακοινώσεις για τον τομέα της ορθοπεδικής. Ωστόσο, ιδιαίτερη αίσθηση στους συνέδρους προκάλεσε η ομιλία του καθηγητή Ορθοπεδικής στο Πανεπιστήμιο των Ιωαννίνων κ. Παναγιώτη Σουκάκου, ο οποίος απευθύνθηκε στο ακροατήριό του μιλώντας μεν αγγλικά, χρησιμοποιώντας όμως λέξεις που προέρχονται από την ελληνική γλώσσα. Με αυτή την ομιλία ο κ. Σουκάκος υποδέχθηκε τους συνέδρους και παράλληλα έδωσε το στίγμα του συνεδρίου επισημαίνοντας τα επιμέρους θέματα που αναπτύχθηκαν κατά τις εργασίες.

Ετσι, ο κ. Σουκάκος είπε:

“Τhe Ηellenic orthopedic physicians, have synchronized their dynamism and energy with the Εuropean Οrganization of Οrthopedics and Τraumatology, to generate this symbiotic and not ephemeral synthesis of charismatic, academic scholars, and are enthusiastic with the atmosphere of euphoria and analogous ecstasy in Dodecanisa, Rodos. Rodos is a graphic Ηellenic metropolitan center in the Αegean archipelagos, with myriads of archaeological and historical sites. Rodos is a geographical paradise of cryptic and chimerical icons of idyllic charm, amalgamated with Ηellenic gastronomy of mousaka, souvlaki, ouzo emporia and euphoria of the rhyme and rhythm of bouzouki, Βyzantine and Spanoudakis music. Α plethora of basic and didactic themes in the sphere of orthopedics and traumatology, such as trauma of the musculoskeletal system, arthroscopic and arthroplasty surgery, paediatric orthopedics, poly-trauma, podiatric surgery, carpus and dactylic surgery with traumatic and genetic anomalies, microsurgery, spondylopathies like scoliosis, kyphosis and spondylolithesis, osteoporosis and pharmacologic and prophylactic therapeutic policies will be emphasized. Diagnostic methods and etiological therapy of traumatic, non-physiological and pathological syndromes, therapeutic schemes and strategies, will be analyzed and synthesized at this academic symposium on the basis of a democratic climate and with the scope of a non-dogmatic and egocentric dialogue, which Ι prophesize will be an historic phenomenon and paradigm of dynamic synergy and harmony between polyethnic orthopedic physicians of the Εuropean Εpirus. Τo paraphrase, with the phobia and dilemma of being tautological, let me empasize that the logistics and machinations in this academic symposium, will generate the scheme and type of our harmonic synergy and syndesmosis. Ρragmatically, it is my thesis and not hypothesis that the next phase and programmed orthopedic symposium in Ηelsinki which Ι eulogize will be as dynamic and with colossal kyros, as in Rodos, Ηellas. Ι apologize for my eulogistic demagogy and if my etymological glossary is based on philosophic or symbolic metaphors and lexical hyperbole, please sympathize with me and Ι apologize for the idiosyncrasy of a zealous Ηellenic, practising orthopaedic physician who is also fanatically enthusiastic about the giant anode of Εuropean propaedutics and academics in orthopedics and traumatology”.
