What do you want from us? 你们想从我们这里得到什么?
- A Poem Dedicated to the last 150 years of this planet.
By a Slient, Silent Chinese.
===
When We were called Sick man of Asia, We were called The Yellow Peril.
When We are billed to be the next Superpower, We are called The China Threat.
从我们被称为东亚病夫时起就已经被当作“黄祸”。
当我们被標籤成为下一个超级大国时,我们又被当成了中國威胁。
When We were closed our doors, You smuggled Opium to Open Markets.
When We Embrace Freed Trade, You blame us for Taking Away Your Jobs.
当我们閉關鎖國时,你们靠走私鴉片来“打开市场”。
我们拥抱自由贸易了,你们怪我们抢走了你们的饭碗。
When We were falling apart, You marched in your troops and wanted your “fair share”.
China was broken into pieces. And You killed, burned, maimed and looted,
Just go to the British Museum and The Louvre, which of those Arts and Relics were bought fair?
当中國被分割得四分五裂时,你们的军队闯进来要求「公平分享」。你們燒殺搶掠,請光臨大英博物館和羅浮宮,琳琅滿目的藝術品和古董難道不是物?
To be fair, When Woodrow Wilson Couldn't give back Birth Place of Confucius back to Us, But He did buy a ticket for the Famine Relief Ball for us…
-A trickle of good will in a sea of despair.
Never again, we said, We stood up and fought for our survival.
And piece by piece we put our nation together again,
all of a sudden, “Free Tibet” you screamed, “it was an invasion!”
Never mind, that those who shouted caused the original suffering and pain.
我們說:「請高抬貴手。」當我們從故土中站起、鬥爭,重建破碎的河山,
猛然間,你们卻在叫嚣:「西藏獨立」,「那是被入侵的地方」。
我們不會介意那些垂死掙扎的嚎叫!
When We Tried Communism, You hated us for being Communists
When We embrace Capitalism, You hate us for being Capitalists.
我们试行共产主义,你们恨我们當上共产黨。
當我们擁抱资本主义,你们又恨我们是资本家。
When We have a Billion People, you said we were destroying the planet.
When We are tried limited our numbers, you said It was human rights abuse.
当我们有十亿人民时,你们说我们正在压垮这个星球。
當我们实行计划生育,可是你们指責这是违反人权。
When We were Poor, You think we are dogs. (Remember, Chinese and dog)
When We Loan you cash, You blame us for your debts.
当我们贫穷时,你们认为我们是狗(請記住:中國人與狗)。
当我们借给你们现金时,你们咒骂我们使你们负了债。
When We build our industries, You called us Polluters.
When we made you consumer goods, You blame us for global warming.
当我们建设我们的工业时,你们称我们是污染者。
你们一边享用我们提供的物美价廉的商品,一边责备我们助长了温室效应。
When We buy oil, You called that exploitation and Genocide.
When You fight for oil, You called that Liberation.
当我们购买石油时,你们嚷嚷着“剥削非洲和支持种族屠杀”。
而当你们为石油发动战争时,你们辯稱那是“解放”。
When We were lost in Chaos and Rampage, You wanted Rules of Law for us.
When We uphold law and order against Violence, You called that Violating Human Rights.
我们陷入混乱时,你们要我们法治。
我们维护法律和秩序对抗騷亂时,你们指稱那是侵犯人权。
When We were silent, You said you want us to have Free Speech.
When We were silent no more, You say we were Brainwashed-Xenophobics.
我们沉默时,你们说我们應該有言论自由。
當我们不再沉默了,你们卻说我们被洗脑了。
Why do you hate us so much? We asked. “No”. You answered, “we don't hate you”.
We don't hate you either But, do you understand us?? “of course we do”, you said, “We have CNN, BBC, and CBC”.
你们为什么这么恨我们?我们问。“不”,你们回答,“我们不恨你们。”
我们也不恨你们。但是,你们理解我们吗?“当然理解,”你们说,“我们有CNN, BBC和CBC。”
But why, we still feel, your western people are not happy with us.
但是怎么搞的,我们仍然觉得,你们西方人不喜欢我们。
What do you really want from us??
你们到底要我们怎么着?
My friend, What do you really want from us??
我的朋友,你们真的到底要我们怎么着?
