Professor, you said a lot of wonderful things about China.
教授，你说了很多中国的 好话
Professor, you said a lot of wonderful things about China

当然了，他们很多事情做对了
And surely, they’re doing a lot of things right

但是 你如何解释一下
But how do you reconcile the fact that
中国模式的成功 好像是基于
To make it work for China it seems to be based on a
高度的压迫
High level of repression
环境的破坏
Environmental destruction
以及某种固执的意识形态
a certain ideological stubbornness
你对此作何解释？
How do you reconcile that? Why do you think that…
你认为那可以容忍吗？
I mean do you think that’s tolerable?

谢谢，很高兴你提出这种问题
Thank you. I’m really glad you ask that question
因为 你的问题完美地展现了
Because your question capture very well
盎格鲁-撒克逊的媒体对中国的看法
the Anglo Saxon media’s perception of China
我要直截了当地告诉你
And I would suggest you very bluntly
你的观点 歪曲了事实真相
There is a distorted perspective of reality
咱们先说说你的第一个词语：“压迫”
Let’s take the first word you use- Repression
假如中国仅仅依靠压迫来维持政权
If China only relied on repression to stay in power
就不会创造出世界上最有活力的经济体，对吧？
It would not create the most dynamic economy in the world, right?
中国是目前世界上最有活力的经济体
It is by far the most dynamic economy in the world
中国打造出了30年来全球增长最快的经济体
It has delivered the fastest growing economy for 30 years
中国之所以能做到这一点是因为
And it has done this
为全国人民提供了前所未有的高水平、大范围的教育
by educating the Chinese people to a level and extent that the Chinese people have never been educated ever before
而你却说这是压迫？
And you say it’s repression?
你显然满脑子都是冷战思维
You obviously are taking the all Cold War mindset
中国每年有1.39亿人自由出境旅游
Hundred and thirty nine million Chinese left China freely
1.39亿中国人出境，对吧？
Hundred and thirty nine million Chinese, right?
相当于英国总人口的两倍
that’s twice the population of the UK
游玩都返回中国（不叛逃）
went back to China
所以你的各种描述……
So all your description
你所说的环境恶化
When you say environmental degradation
中国应对气候变化的各项政策远远比美国的各项政策更负责
China’s climate change policies are far more responsible than those of the United States
美国不止一次，而是已经两次退出全球的环境协议了
which has not once but twice withdrawn from global environmental protocols
你明白吗？现在气候变化的原因
And you know what? The reason why we are having climate change today
并不是中国和印度新增的温室气体排放
is not because of new flows of greenhouse gas emissions from China and India
而是由于西方国家自从工业革命以来向大气排放的废气导致的
It’s because of what the Western countries have put in the atmosphere since the Western Industrial Revolution
去查数据吧
Get the data
累计排放量最多的是
The single largest contributor accumulatively, right
美国最多，欧洲第二，中国第三，对吧
is No. 1 United States, No. 2 Europe, No. 3 China
西方想让中国来为目前的全球碳排放承担经济代价
And Western wants China to pay economic price for the current flows
但是西方却不想对大气中已有的碳排放买单
But the West doesn’t want to pay economic price for what is put in the atmosphere
如果美国能对每加仑汽油征一美元税
If The United States could impose $1 a gallon tax, that will save the world
那就足以拯救地球环境了
减少汽油的消费
Cut down gasoline consumption
增加对绿色能源技术的投资
Raise money for investment in green technology
办法就这么简单
Simple solutions
而相比之下
And by contrast
全世界最大的植树造林运动
The largest reforestation program in the world
正是中国实施的
is carried out by China
中国植树造林的面积相当于一个比利时的国土面积，甚至更大，对吧？
It has already reforested an area the size of Belgium or bigger, right?
所以你的一切描述
So all your descriptions
都暴露了你从昂撒媒体上摘录的对中国的歪曲报道
capture the natural distortions of China that you get in the Anglo Saxon media
这违背了西方启蒙运动的信条：
which violate the rules of Enlightenment which say
“你们必须理性、冷静、客观，尤其是在了解你的对手时”
“You must be rational, calm and objective, especially in understanding your adversary”
而且 如果中国人真像你们所描述的那样愚昧和无能
And if the Chinese were as stupid and as incompetent as you describe them to be
那就别怕他们啊
Don’t worry about them
但我可以向你们保证
But I can assure you
你们正在打交道的中国远比你们更智慧和理性
You are now dealing with a far more intelligent and rational actor
与你们强加的任何昂撒文明都格格不入
that doesn’t fit any of the Anglo Saxon categories that you apply to them
请原谅我的直截了当
Please forgive my bluntness
