摘要
對切．格瓦拉短暫的一生，「為革命而生」應該是非常適切的總結。然而吸引我們關注的是「何以致之」以及他的革命理念如何實際落實。依據革命菁英的相關論述，參考與切．格瓦拉有關的報導、傳記、評論與專書，本文以他的家庭背景為基礎，就人格特質、人道主義、革命信念及以武力落實革命等四大面向，分析他「為革命而生」，最終「為革命而死」的精彩革命人生。在切．格瓦拉極具爭議的一生，對他的批判與攻訐多與「打天下」無涉，主要係針對於他「治天下」期間的作為。畢竟，對革命擁有理想與憧憬的切．格瓦拉，要面對革命後複雜的權力重分配及派系妥協，中間的矛盾與困境是可以理解的。因此，我們認為，理想與浪漫主義的信仰，應是造成他在階段革命成功後，再次投入另一場革命的催促力量，只是結果並不如他預期，藉由發揮「游擊中心」（El Foco），以創造革命有利態勢，而是最終以悲劇收場，結束他短暫而澎湃的革命人生。

＂Live for the revolution＂ should be a appropriate conclusion in Ernesto Che Guevara 's short life time. In this paper, we focused on those ＂causes＂ which made his revolutionary life being realized. Base on the different points of Revolution Elite theory and reports, biographies, comments, books discussed about Ernesto Che Guevara, we developed the structures of the research in four dimensions as follow: personality, humanitarian, revolution belief, and armed revolution, trying to understand the reasons and motivations of his dedication even life to the revolution. In Che Guevara 's controversy life, those comments and criticizes against him emphasized on his Cuba governing period rather than revolutionary one. Che Guevara stand out for his idealistic belief and longing, in front of the complicity of power redistribution and compromise between different cliques, the contradiction and predicament inside of him was quit obviously and understandable. This also can be seen as the reason why he dedicated to another revolution after overthrowing the dictatorship of Cuba. But the final result did not turn out as he expected, neither guerrilla forces (El Foco) were not capable of defeating the army nor the rebellion itself bring all the conditions in place to begin a revolution. Che Guevara pay the cost with his live, short but filled with deep emotion.
