Whereby in the process of imposing on the colonial subject the desireto render that subject the same as the coloniser (for example, throughthe coloniser's language),there is produced,says Bhabha,adefference,slippage or excess.

Bhabha说，那就是在有关殖民话题的处理上同殖民者一样乐于进行粉饰（如修饰使用殖民者的语言），这就产生了一种，差别，偏差，或过度。

Employed in particular strands of postcolonial critical discourse and developed specifically from the work of Homi Bhabha,ambivalence in this context signifies the condition produced through the discourse of mimicry, whereby in the process of imposing on the colonial subject the desire to render that subject the same as the coloniser (for example, through the coloniser's language),there is produced,says Bhabha,a defference,slippage or excess.

这个词最早被殖民后期批评文学的某些流派使用，尤其是从Homi Bhabha的作品中发展而来的。在当时的语境中这个词意指模仿殖民者的方式，这是殖民者强加在被殖民者身上的，让他们有模仿殖民者的愿望。最终的结果，Bhabha认为，就是导致顺从，比预期少或是过多。

去年，南非总统母贝基对一些学生说，&同北京发展关系的同时，非洲需要同新型殖民式贸易关系做斗争，要保卫非洲，&虽然后来他又很快的补充说到，&这个并不是北京的本意，无论如何，非洲从作为一个被掠夺的殖民地到冷战期间作为超级大国的战场，是一段很长的路，（我们不希望再延续这条路）&。

The Spanish have a long been conquerors and colonisers in distant parts.Indeed, the Spanish and Portuguese signed a treaty in 1494 that neatly divided the world between themselves.
