李二的问题发言，我流翻译

只看一句话不看整段意思的喷子，楼主均截取整段要求喷子翻译，到时候收作业。

翻译：翻开186语录。186教导我们：没有调查研究就没有发言权。所以我们要响应186号召，把李二的话翻出来。翻不出来的就表人云亦云。

好吧，既然在这件事情上喷了这么多，那么我就试着翻译下，证明自己有资格喷。只截取引发争论的一段。

Question: “Thank you very much, Your Excellency, I very much appreciate your encouraging speech. I used to live in Singapore. I really appreciate Singapore and love Singapore. Let me ask you one thing about China. People know China is very important, I agree with you but at the same time, I have a big concern about China’s expansion to the Pacific. China has started saying that not only Okinawa, not only Senkaku, but also Okinawa is under dispute. And also, China proposed to the United States, ‘Let’s divide the Pacific Ocean – East side must belong to the US, west side belongs to China’. For that matter, I am saying that we need to cooperate with each other, with ASEAN, India, Korea and Russia to prevent China from expanding to the Pacific. So close enclosure against China may be necessary. Containment may not be, a bit too strong to do that, but close enclosure against China may be necessary to prevent such aggression. Thank you very much.”

PM Lee: “Well, Singapore is good friends with Japan. Singapore is also good friends with China. So I do not think it is wise for me in Tokyo to criticise China, or anywhere publicly to criticise China. I think that every country in the region benefits from China’s prosperity and progress; hopes to participate in it and hopes to cultivate good relations with China. Certainly all the ASEAN countries do so and I believe even amongst the Japanese people and Japanese companies, many would like to take advantage of the huge market and huge opportunities which China offers. Therefore, we have to work with China and China itself has to see in its own interest to develop in a peaceful way which is not threatening to its neighbours and which enables it to integrate into the global economy.

I think their leaders understand this. You watch what they say to themselves. They often remind themselves that it is necessary for China to be a benign power and not to repeat the mistakes of previous powers which have tried to succeed through force of arms. And some years ago, they had a television series entitled ‘The Rise of Great Powers’ and they listed all the countries, all the great powers, over the last several centuries, starting from the Portuguese, the Spanish, the Dutch, the British, the Americans, the Russians, the Japanese and showing the history of how they succeeded and when they went (to) try for expansion, it did not work. So I think at some level, they understand this. And certainly, if they are taking a long-term approach, they will make this calculation that whether it is the Senkakus, whether it is the South China Sea, what you gain on the Senkakus or the South China Sea, but you lose in terms of your broader reputation and standing in the world, you have to make that calculation very carefully.

So I will be very careful about saying, ‘let us make a friendship amongst all the countries which are frightened of China’. I do not think that is a constructive and helpful approach. I think let us all make friends and develop constructive relations with one another in a multi-dimensional way. Not all links in Asia are centred on China, we also have cooperations between Japan and Asean, between Japan and America, between India and countries in East Asia, I see Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is visiting Japan soon. And also with the United States, which wants to make good relations with China and does not see a division in the Pacific Ocean between the two. So I would be very careful about these over-simplifications and maintain a constructive approach, encourage a constructive approach, so that we do not by our words and actions bring about the outcome we do not want.

We take this position consistently. We tell this to the Japanese, we tell this to the Americans, we tell this to the Chinese. Last year, I visited Beijing. I made a speech at the Central Party School, where they send the senior cadres for training, and I explained to the audience in Mandarin why I felt that China’s wisest policy was to maintain their position of restraint and demonstrate, not just by words but also by its actions. That it works by international norms, that there is room in its international relations for win-win partnerships and relationships of mutual respect and equality. And I think the audience took my point.”

问:"非常感谢你，阁下。我非常赞赏您激动人心的演讲。我曾住在李家坡，喜欢并深爱着李家坡。俺问您一件关于兔子的事情。人们知道兔子很重要。我同意您，但是同时，我非常关切兔子向太平洋的扩张。最近兔子开始扯，不只冲绳，不只尖阁列岛，而且冲绳也是有争议的。并且，兔子跟白头鹰说，“咱分了太平洋吧——东边归你，西边归俺。”对此，我说，我们可要抱成一团，和东盟、瑜伽国、棒子和白熊一起阻止兔子溜进太平洋。因此把它团团围住可能是必要的。包围可能不必要，太过火了。但是把兔子紧紧围住对于阻止这种侵略还是很重要滴。非常感谢。”

李二：“呃……李家坡和霓虹是基友，和兔子……也是好基友。所以俺认为在东京……以及任何公开场合骂兔子是件很烧饼的事情。俺觉得兔子发达了，这里每家都有赚头；也希望亲身参与到兔子发达的过程中，希望和兔子谈朋友。东盟各家都这样，刚刚的；俺也相信，就算在霓虹，很多人和公司也希望利用兔子提供的巨大市场和机遇。因此俺们必须和兔子合作，兔子也必须看到和平发展、不威胁邻居、融入世界经济，才有小钱钱。

俺想大兔子们了解这点。你看他们怎么对兔们说的。他们经常提醒自己，兔家需要成为一个河蟹的大佬，不能再和以前某些大佬一样，犯靠打砸抢起家的错误。几年前，他们拍了个小视频叫“大国崛起”，其中列举了过去几百年各家、各大佬，从葡萄牙、西班牙、马车夫、牛牛、白头鹰、白熊、霓虹，列举了他们如何发家，以及如何在试图扩张时吃鳖（译注：其实有几家没吃鳖……）。所以俺觉得某种程度上，他们懂的。而且当然，如果他们作长期打算，他们会打小算盘：不论是尖阁群岛，还是南海，你能从尖阁群岛和南海获得什么，但是你在更广阔的声誉和国际地位会损失什么，你必须仔细权衡。（省略：大兔子们不傻，不会做傻事。）

所以对于“俺们所有被兔子恐吓的各家做朋友吧”的说法，俺会非常警惕。俺不觉得这样做能解决问题，能让大家赚到小钱钱。俺想俺们还是都做朋友，并且通过各种方式建立有建设性的的关系比较好。并非所有亚洲的连接都以兔子为中心。霓虹和东盟也有合作，霓虹和爸爸也有，阿三和东亚也有。俺看大白象辛格最近也要来霓虹了。和白头鹰也要搞好关系。人家追兔子追得紧咧，才不想把太平洋切两半。所以俺对这种过度简化国家关系很警惕，始终保持、鼓励建设性态度，免得祸从口出、自作自受。

俺们始终持此立场。俺们对你们霓虹这么说，对白头鹰这么说，对兔子也这么说。去年俺去了北京，在中央党校开讲，那里来听得可都是高级兔子啊。俺用兔子话跟他们讲，说为啥俺觉得兔子最好的策略就是韬光养晦，并通过语言行动表现出来。邻里自有公道，这样做必有好报。现在的小村子里，还是有足够空间建立双赢合作和平等互助关系滴。俺猜你们也这样想吧？（此句应为：我想他们接受了我的看法。感谢娇点访谈兄的指正）

以上，全当抛砖引玉，希望大家也加入进来，弄出更有趣更贴切的译本。
