[5000字原创翻译] 老美波士顿论坛上关于开幕式的评论！ ...

波士顿论坛的一个帖子在NBC开始转播开幕式之前贴出了24张开幕式的大图，张导的开幕式确实美轮美奂。最后一张照片是五个民工子女在出租屋内对着镜子比出了五环造型。

目前为止已经800多条评论。大多数是老美，也有很多在国外或者在国内的中国人。我从昨天开始看，有点激动了。尽管有一打脑残在那里叫嚣达.富.尔, 达.赖如何如何 中国是个独裁国家云云，但是大部分回帖者对中国是持正面态度。几乎每个回帖的中国人都是有理有节。也几乎每个中国人都在说 我爱我的祖国 欢迎到北京，到中国来看看真实的中国。

现在同意说奥运真是往外的一个窗口了，至少可以让一些被西方媒体洗脑了的对中国一无所知的人睁开眼看看中国。


下面是我的一些翻译。正面反面都有。欢迎转帖！花了两个多小时。有错漏处，还请各位大大指正

gorgeous images !!!thanks for sharing.

12楼：华美的图片！感谢分享。
―――――――――――――――――――――――
I didn't see Tom Petty, $0.50, Brittany Spears or Madonna in any of these shots厀hy not? How can it be culturally relevant without these icons卼hese pinnacles of the western talent?
22楼： 我没有在其中任何一张图片里发现汤姆佩里，$0.50，小甜甜布兰妮 麦当娜等等明星。没有这些西方的天才标杆人物，怎么可以和“文化”联系起来？
―――――――――――――――――――――――
Amazing pictures. Scrolling down some seemed like optical illusions - the performers were so well choreographed!
The costumes are incredible, too! When I was watching part of it on television I though that they were using dry ice, when in fact it was the costumes. Wow.

35楼：惊人的图片！往下翻时一些图片简直像是魔光幻影。演员们的舞美设计太棒了。服装也很出色！当我在电视上看到片段的时候我还以为他们使用了干冰。但实际上是服装效果。哇～

Thank god Spielberg quit. This was way better than any of his movies.

A billion people -- on billions of puppet strings.
China, you're only impressing us negatively.
We will live free or die.

５７楼：十亿人....就像十亿被操纵的提线木偶。中国，你总是从负面给我们留下印象。我们会继续“不自由毋宁死“。
―――――――――――――――――――――――
Thanks you chinese people!!!!, your effort and love in doing things so amazing.
I think it will be very difficult to surpass them. These photos are spectacular, but they could not be pictured if chinese were not there giving the best of them, to the rest of the world, that is what I felt today.
Love you...!!!!
When you feel things with your heart and not with resentment of any kind, then may be, we can have a better world for all. What chinese people gave us today was love.

86楼：感谢中国人！你们的努力和爱心太惊人了！我认为（开幕式）很难超越！这些照片相当出色，但是如果没有现场中国人的绝佳演出，全世界就看不到这些。这就是我今天的感觉。爱你们！当你用心而不是憎恨去感觉世界的时候，也许我们能有一个更好的世界。中国人今天展现给我们的是爱。
―――――――――――――――――――――――
It was a ridiculously expensive, over-the-top show to stage-- but DAMN if it wasn't gorgeous. As beautiful as these pictures are, they really don't capture a lot of the motion and more importantly the spirit I felt when I was watching the games.

Watching the opening for the Olympic games in Beijing showed me a nation fiercely proud of its people and its history. The smiles on a lot of those performer's faces wasn't just for showmanship's sake. (The moving boxes thing was amazing, if only for the coordination involved.)
The only thing that made for headscratching was Sarah Brightman, at least for me.
Posted by felicity August 8, 08 07:51 PM
115楼：这是场贵得离谱的舞台剧！但是我靠，确实美轮美奂！尽管这些图片很漂亮，但是还是没有能捕捉到现场的运动感，还有更重要的----我在看比赛时感受到的精神。

在北京观看比赛（的经历）向我展现了一个为自己人民和历史而十分自豪的国家。很多表演者脸上的笑容不仅仅是因为表演。（那些移动的盒子太炫了 如果还加上协调的话）唯一让我起鸡皮疙瘩的是萨拉布莱曼。至少对我是这样
―――――――――――――――――――――――
as for Patrick Henry (aka #57)
I belived the original version of the real Patrick Henry's motto began with: I know not what course others may take; but as for me, Give me liberty, or …He would die for liberty at the his premises of respect for courses others may take. We Chinese chose our way to forge forward. Please respect that first, and die.
123楼：回57楼：我相信真正的帕特里克亨利的名言原文是：我不知道其他人会如何做，但是对我而言，不自由毋宁死！…又或者，他为自由而死的前提是尊重其他人选择的道路。我们中国人选择了自己的前进道路。请你先尊重这一点，然后,去”毋宁死”吧！
―――――――――――――――――――――――
Gregamell's comment rephrased:
"I'm so glad you eventually reinforced my narrow view of China as a dirty country filled with poor people!"
But yeah, as wy12218 said, just because they're poor doesn't make them any more real than the richest Chinese. That's the most often repeated red-herring I hear visitors to foreign countries repeat. "Shanghai isn't the real China, you need to go to X little town to see real Chinese!"
Is China smoggy and filled with "poor people"? Yes, but it is much more as well. Let's not limit ourselves here.
161楼：Gregamell的评论说：“我很高兴你终于加深了我对中国狭窄的看法—中国是个充满穷人的肮脏国家！“
但是正如wy12218所说：贫穷并不使得这些人比那些富有的中国人更真实。我最经常听到外国游客说“上海不是真实的中国，你应该到某某小镇去看真实的中国“，中国是不是空气不好，穷人很多？是，但是中国不仅仅限于此。让我们不要把我们限定在如此狭小的地方！

am a Canadian girl who has been living in china for 8 years. I lived in the suburbs when they announced the games to be held and when I heard the continuing fireworks outside celebrating their victory cried my tears of joy along with them. It has been an amazing buildup here in china waiting for the magic of the opening of the games, and we will all remember the huge clocks scattered around the city counting down to the minute of the opening ceremonies. The biggest dream has come true for all Chinese, to offer the world a show that is truly spectacular, one to be proud of and remember for generations to come. This is china, diverse and beautiful. On behalf of the Chinese people I would like to thank you all for your heartfelt appreciation and love.

164楼：我是个在中国住了8年的加拿大女孩。当他们宣布中国赢得举办权的时候，我住在城郊。我听到了外面不断的庆祝胜利的鞭炮声，我也和他们一起洒下了激动的泪水。中国为这一刻准备太久了。我们将会记得在城市各处的大钟在比赛开始前倒计时的时刻。所有中国人最大的梦想终于成真了。给世界展示一台精彩绝伦的仪式，每个人都会以此自豪。这就是中国，多元化且美丽。代表所有中国人，我愿意感谢你们的衷心欣赏和爱心。

Is there a way to contact the artist in the last picture. I like this girl and I wish i could meet her somewhere, probably in Beijing. She's so lovely that I can't help staring at this pic for a long time... How can I find her?
Posted by Galano August 8, 08 10:58 PM
219楼：有没有联系最后一张图片里的女孩的方法啊？我喜欢她然后我想能在哪里和她会面，也许是在北京。她太可爱了，我禁不住一直盯着图片看了好久 我怎么能找到她?
―――――――――――――――――――――――
Perhaps the greatest show in the history of mankind.
Great synchronisation of technology and human excellence. Little known about China - this, at least, proves the country inspires its fellow citizens to unleash their talents and surpass their expertise. It would boost every individual to try and implement the Impossible.
Rightly said by someone - 'The Games gave a chance to the world to know what China really is'.
Posted by Mrinal Ghosh August 8, 08 11:00 PM
220楼：也许是人类历史上最伟大的表演！伟大的舞美设计、技术和人类的卓越！对中国了解不多，但是至少表演证明了中国鼓励他的人民展现他们的才能，超越既往。这会鼓舞每个人去尽力拼搏 变不可能为可能。楼上说得好，这比赛给了世界一个了解真正的中国的机会

Great picture it shows How china is Now a global super power.I like all the picture above.Thanks for the post.

Posted by Ajit Ray August
257楼：美丽的图片！给我们展现了中国现在是个超级大国了。我喜欢楼主的图片
―――――――――――――――――――――――
These photos are wonderful. Don't forget the dark side, too. Remember the Chinese woman whom the government just sent to one year of labor camp for posting photos of earthquake damage.

-----------this is the most ridiculous rumor I had ever heard! I am a Chinese and I posted earthquake damage photos posted in the Chinese BBS for a dozen times and never got into trouble! and I never heard of anyone got into jail just by posting earthquake photos!
Next time, try to be a smart lier, otherwise I will be forced to regard you as a retard, which is genetically inherited.

282楼：图片是很美，但是不要忘了黑暗的一面，要记得那个因为张贴地震图片而被劳改一年的中国妇女！
-----------------这是我听过了最荒谬的谣言！我就是中国人，我在中国BBS上贴了N次地震图片，怎么没遇上任何麻烦？而且我也没听说有任何人因为张贴地震图片而被劳改！拜托下次撒谎也编圆点！不然我只有认为你是个白痴！
―――――――――――――――――――――――
Its amazing...amazing to find several great snobs here,who cant stop strugglling against the fact that they would never change any history,thus actively screaming with some fashinable noises,like"free tibet'.
Dear Sir,i just make a beautiful wish for all of you.
Please,please free your mind and soul first,before free such a remote land.And i know,you guys must witness a lot-----in movies and reports,interestingly.

326楼：太经典了----在这里看到的那些势利眼们实在是太经典了！完全停不了在那里对抗一个事实----你们永远改变不了历史。所以尽管在那里吼叫些诸如西-藏自由之内的时髦话吧。
亲爱的先生，我刚为你们许了个美丽的愿望---拜托拜托在要“自由“那个遥远的地方钱，请先让你的脑子自由一些吧，当然，我知道你们目睹了很多----在电影里和报到里。简直有趣啊
―――――――――――――――――――――――
Chinese showed their CIVILIZATION, HUGE WILLPOWER, TALENT, ART & INITIATIVE in this Olympic ceremony.
I congratulation to photographer ! I really enjoyed.
329楼：中国人通过开幕式展示了他们的文明，巨大的意志力，天才，艺术和创新能力。祝贺楼主的照片，我很喜欢
―――――――――――――――――――――――
What the real China is:

Some one rich, some one poor, some one in the middle. I come from a family in the middle.

Hum...As a Chinese, indeed I'm glad to hear so many "awesome" here. Thanks! :)

And some talks about the last picture, that IS a shabby room to live, dim light, humble furnitures, 5 kids in not-so-good shirts...I can't imagine me being there... But fact is, China's trying hard to solve the imbalance of economic development and because China's too big a country the task is by no means easy. Maybe it'll be decades for China to solve that problem, maybe even longer.

As a well-informed Chinese,(yes,we young generation are well-informed,believe or not) we get the opinions and comments from friends in the other parts of the world so that we know the contry's condition well, and we are trying hard to help the nation develop faster and better. But, it needs time. And also, it needs the support from you all :D

Welcome to China and have a visit with an open heart and an open mind. Because China is not exactly what's shown in the Hollywood movies, big photo shots or the reports of the newreels.

And finally, hope everything goes well with the great Olympics. And may the spirit of the Olympic game last long and forever. :)
332楼： 真正的中国是什么样？
有富裕，也有贫穷。也有中产。我来自一个中产家庭。呃，作为一个中国人，我确实十分高兴在这里看到那么多的“太棒了“！谢谢！
有些人在讨论最后一张图片，那确实是个简陋的屋子，昏暗的电灯，破旧的家具，5个穿得不怎么好的孩子。我不敢想像如果那是我…但是事实是，中国正在努力改善经济发展的不平衡。但是中国是个很大的国家。这项事业不会容易。也许中国需要10年甚至更长时间来实现这点。
作为消息灵通的中国人（是的，不管你相信与否，我们年轻一代中国人消息灵通！）我们能从世界各地的朋友们那里听到关于中国的评论和看法，所以我们很了解我们的国家。并且我们正在尽力帮助我们的祖国发展得更快更好，但是，这需要时间。也需要你们的支持。
欢迎来中国，带着开放的心态。因为中国并是好莱坞电影，新闻照片里表现的那样。最后，希望大家能享受奥运。愿奥运精神永存！
―――――――――――――――――――――――
All of you people criticizing "the Chinese" - the problem is the government, not the people. (Not all that different from what is going on here in the U.S., I might add.) The Chinese people have a right to be proud of this art as it is presented to the world. Regardless whether they are rich or poor. Americans complaining about the cost- again, look in your own backyard first. Change takes time, and China, even the government, is changing. How about lets lighten up a little, huh? (Oh, and one more thing - #219 - keep your pants on - the girl is probably only 14.)
340楼：你们都在批评“中国人“，问题是中国政府！不是中国人！（当然区别并不像在美国那么泾渭分明），中国人有权利为展现给世界的艺术自豪。不管是贫富。美国人在抱怨开支---先看看你们的后院吧！改变需要时间。而中国，甚至中国政府，都在改变。拜托宽容一点？（还有，对219楼的：你TMD管好你的裤腰带吧！那女孩也许只有14岁！）
---------------------------------------------
If you have not been to China and see Chinese people in person, don't say what is "real".
Somebody just likes to criticise everything they don't really know, and this can only show their superficiality
363楼：如果你从没来过中国，没见过中国人，就不要说什么“真实”，有的人总喜欢对他们不知道的事情指手画脚。这只能显示出他们的虚伪无知。
―――――――――――――――――――――――
A great advancing nation show her power
387楼：一个正在前进的伟大国家展示了她的力量！

CCTV-5 sucks!!
392楼：中央五台，烂！

―――――――――――――――――――――――

thanks boston team for this fabulous gift, wrapped in vivid colours......
I think. it isn't just money power that China showcased to the world. as some commented.. look into the faces of those awesome men & women, I'm sure it's their aspirations & success that was overflown as never before .. Cudos
420楼：
谢谢波士顿小组给我们提供了一份棒极了的礼物。。我认为中国展示给全世界的并不是金钱的效果，看看那些迷人的男男女女的脸吧，我确信他们的信心和成功正在史无前例地流淌。。。

History in the making! Thank you for sharing these extraordinary photos with the world
534楼：正在创造历史啊！谢谢与世界分享如此动人的图片
―――――――――――――――――――――――
Notice one thing - hardly any individualistic performance, all group acts just like to rest of the society. Do not get fooled by the beauty of the pictures - this is a backward, communist , closed country flooding us with their cheap and inferior products.
589楼：提醒一件事—没有一个个人，表演，一组人表演得像社会的其他部分，不要被图片的美丽表面给骗了，这是个落后的，封闭的充满质量低劣便宜货的共产党国家。
―――――――――――――――――――――――
592楼：Welcome to Beijing~~~~Welcome to China~~~
我为我是一个中国人感到骄傲～～～我爱中国！！
―――――――――――――――――――――――
602：wish you can see a TRUE China in person , not only the games or opening ceremony.
I am so proud of China !
希望你们能看到一个真正的中国，不仅是开幕式或者奥运。我为中国自豪！
―――――――――――――――――――――――
HOW MANY 'GREAT WONDERS' OF THE WORLD ------- WELL, ADD ONE MORE TO THAT NUMBER.
605楼：究竟有多少个“世界X大奇迹“？那么，在那个清单上不妨加上一个！
―――――――――――――――――――――――

to 633
plea your president to free people of Saudi Arabia, a dictatorship
well, to tell you the truth, all your presients are friends of the saudi emperors
oh, dont forget your old friend ben laden, who was well trained by cia
it's amazing for us to learn how biased, arrogant some americans are!
643楼：我说633楼的，先求你们的总统让沙特也自由了吧，那可是个独裁国家。说实话，好像你们所有的总统都是沙特皇室的好朋友吧？哦，不要忘了你们的老朋友拉登，那可是中央情报局训练出来的。一些美国人自大，偏见得惊人！
―――――――――――――――――――――――
665楼：美丽的中国欢迎大家到来，特别是我们的巴基斯坦兄弟！！！！
―――――――――――――――――――――――
最后一张充分表达了中国普通百姓盼奥运、迎奥运的心情，所谓粗服乱头、不掩国色啊
―――――――――――――――――――――――
guys.. its great.. one of a kind in a life time..
699楼：童鞋门，太棒了，生平难见的时刻
―――――――――――――――――――――――
710楼：I love the idea of fireworks of giant footprints...together with the Chinese drawings
Overall a stunning show!
我喜欢那个大脚印焰火的创意，还有那副画。完全是让人叹服的表演！
―――――――――――――――――――――――
The Chinese have always amazed me their culture is truly inspiring...now do you see why ?
Thank you China for a truly amazing show !!!
America loves you
736楼：中国人总是让我叹服。他们的文化确实给人灵感，现在你知道为什么了吧？谢谢中国给外面带来一场真正好的表演！美国爱你们！
―――――――――――――――――――――――

100 years ago, China was invaded by civilized countries because China is"barbaric".
100 years later, China is criticized because "you guys develop too fast and you are using our resources"
don't call me brainwashed. I am rational and I don't lack sense of judgement just as you do.
I feel proud of my Country and I feel pround of being a Chinese.
769楼：
100年前，中国因落后而挨打，
100年后，中国因进步而挨骂。
不要说我被洗脑呃，我和你们一样理性和不缺乏判断力。
我为我的祖国而自豪，我为我是中国人而自豪！
―――――――――――――――――――――――
A once in the history of civilization moment, superbly captured by these pics. Thanks from Brussels
782： 一场历史上空前绝后的文化时刻。被照片精到地捕捉到了。来自布鲁塞尔的感谢。
―――――――――――――――――――――――
Come to China and you will know what real China is.
Seeing is believing.
I'm proud of my country.
欢迎到中国来，你会看到真实的中国，眼见为实。我为我的祖国自豪！

236楼：漂亮的图片！也许是有史以来最好的奥运会！给2012年伦敦奥运巨大的压力啊！
―――――――――――――――――――――――

257楼：美丽的图片！给我们展现了中国现在是个超级大国了。我喜欢楼主的图片
―――――――――――――――――――――――
These photos are wonderful. Don't forget the dark side, too. Remember the Chinese woman whom the government just sent to one year of labor camp for posting photos of earthquake damage.

-----------this is the most ridiculous rumor I had ever heard! I am a Chinese and I posted earthquake damage photos posted in the Chinese BBS for a dozen times and never got into trouble! and I never heard of anyone got into jail just by posting earthquake photos!
Next time, try to be a smart lier, otherwise I will be forced to regard you as a retard, which is genetically inherited.

282楼：图片是很美，但是不要忘了黑暗的一面，要记得那个因为张贴地震图片而被劳改一年的中国妇女！
-----------------这是我听过了最荒谬的谣言！我就是中国人，我在中国BBS上贴了N次地震图片，怎么没遇上任何麻烦？而且我也没听说有任何人因为张贴地震图片而被劳改！拜托下次撒谎也编圆点！不然我只有认为你是个白痴！

Its amazing...amazing to find several great snobs here,who cant stop strugglling against the fact that they would never change any history,thus actively screaming with some fashinable noises,like"free tibet'.
Dear Sir,i just make a beautiful wish for all of you.
Please,please free your mind and soul first,before free such a remote land.And i know,you guys must witness a lot-----in movies and reports,interestingly.

326楼：太经典了----在这里看到的那些势利眼们实在是太经典了！完全停不了在那里对抗一个事实----你们永远改变不了历史。所以尽管在那里吼叫些诸如西-藏自由之内的时髦话吧。
亲爱的先生，我刚为你们许了个美丽的愿望---拜托拜托在要“自由“那个遥远的地方钱，请先让你的脑子自由一些吧，当然，我知道你们目睹了很多----在电影里和报到里。简直有趣啊

I congratulation to photographer ! I really enjoyed.
329楼：中国人通过开幕式展示了他们的文明，巨大的意志力，天才，艺术和创新能力。祝贺楼主的照片，我很喜欢

What the real China is:

Some one rich, some one poor, some one in the middle. I come from a family in the middle.

Hum...As a Chinese, indeed I'm glad to hear so many "awesome" here. Thanks! :)

And some talks about the last picture, that IS a shabby room to live, dim light, humble furnitures, 5 kids in not-so-good shirts...I can't imagine me being there... But fact is, China's trying hard to solve the imbalance of economic development and because China's too big a country the task is by no means easy. Maybe it'll be decades for China to solve that problem, maybe even longer.

As a well-informed Chinese,(yes,we young generation are well-informed,believe or not) we get the opinions and comments from friends in the other parts of the world so that we know the contry's condition well, and we are trying hard to help the nation develop faster and better. But, it needs time. And also, it needs the support from you all :D

Welcome to China and have a visit with an open heart and an open mind. Because China is not exactly what's shown in the Hollywood movies, big photo shots or the reports of the newreels.

And finally, hope everything goes well with the great Olympics. And may the spirit of the Olympic game last long and forever. :)
332楼： 真正的中国是什么样？
有富裕，也有贫穷。也有中产。我来自一个中产家庭。呃，作为一个中国人，我确实十分高兴在这里看到那么多的“太棒了“！谢谢！
有些人在讨论最后一张图片，那确实是个简陋的屋子，昏暗的电灯，破旧的家具，5个穿得不怎么好的孩子。我不敢想像如果那是我…但是事实是，中国正在努力改善经济发展的不平衡。但是中国是个很大的国家。这项事业不会容易。也许中国需要10年甚至更长时间来实现这点。
作为消息灵通的中国人（是的，不管你相信与否，我们年轻一代中国人消息灵通！）我们能从世界各地的朋友们那里听到关于中国的评论和看法，所以我们很了解我们的国家。并且我们正在尽力帮助我们的祖国发展得更快更好，但是，这需要时间。也需要你们的支持。
欢迎来中国，带着开放的心态。因为中国并是好莱坞电影，新闻照片里表现的那样。最后，希望大家能享受奥运。愿奥运精神永存！

All of you people criticizing "the Chinese" - the problem is the government, not the people. (Not all that different from what is going on here in the U.S., I might add.) The Chinese people have a right to be proud of this art as it is presented to the world. Regardless whether they are rich or poor. Americans complaining about the cost- again, look in your own backyard first. Change takes time, and China, even the government, is changing. How about lets lighten up a little, huh? (Oh, and one more thing - #219 - keep your pants on - the girl is probably only 14.)
340楼：你们都在批评“中国人“，问题是中国政府！不是中国人！（当然区别并不像在美国那么泾渭分明），中国人有权利为展现给世界的艺术自豪。不管是贫富。美国人在抱怨开支---先看看你们的后院吧！改变需要时间。而中国，甚至中国政府，都在改变。拜托宽容一点？（还有，对219楼的：你TMD管好你的裤腰带吧！那女孩也许只有14岁！）
---------------------------------------------
If you have not been to China and see Chinese people in person, don't say what is "real".
Somebody just likes to criticise everything they don't really know, and this can only show their superficiality
363楼：如果你从没来过中国，没见过中国人，就不要说什么“真实”，有的人总喜欢对他们不知道的事情指手画脚。这只能显示出他们的虚伪无知。
―――――――――――――――――――――――
A great advancing nation show her power
387楼：一个正在前进的伟大国家展示了她的力量！
―――――――――――――――――――――――
CCTV-5 sucks!!
392楼：中央五台，烂！

398楼：我看了整个表演，绝对的无与伦比！我被迷倒了！有史以来最好的开幕式！
―――――――――――――――――――――――

I think. it isn't just money power that China showcased to the world. as some commented.. look into the faces of those awesome men & women, I'm sure it's their aspirations & success that was overflown as never before .. Cudos
420楼：
谢谢波士顿小组给我们提供了一份棒极了的礼物。。我认为中国展示给全世界的并不是金钱的效果，看看那些迷人的男男女女的脸吧，我确信他们的信心和成功正在史无前例地流淌。。。
―――――――――――――――――――――――
History in the making! Thank you for sharing these extraordinary photos with the world
534楼：正在创造历史啊！谢谢与世界分享如此动人的图片
―――――――――――――――――――――――
Notice one thing - hardly any individualistic performance, all group acts just like to rest of the society. Do not get fooled by the beauty of the pictures - this is a backward, communist , closed country flooding us with their cheap and inferior products.
589楼：提醒一件事—没有一个个人，表演，一组人表演得像社会的其他部分，不要被图片的美丽表面给骗了，这是个落后的，封闭的充满质量低劣便宜货的共产党国家。
―――――――――――――――――――――――
592楼：Welcome to Beijing~~~~Welcome to China~~~
我为我是一个中国人感到骄傲～～～我爱中国！！

HOW MANY 'GREAT WONDERS' OF THE WORLD ------- WELL, ADD ONE MORE TO THAT NUMBER.
605楼：究竟有多少个“世界X大奇迹“？那么，在那个清单上不妨加上一个！
―――――――――――――――――――――――

plea your president to free people of Saudi Arabia, a dictatorship
well, to tell you the truth, all your presients are friends of the saudi emperors
oh, dont forget your old friend ben laden, who was well trained by cia
it's amazing for us to learn how biased, arrogant some americans are!
643楼：我说633楼的，先求你们的总统让沙特也自由了吧，那可是个独裁国家。说实话，好像你们所有的总统都是沙特皇室的好朋友吧？哦，不要忘了你们的老朋友拉登，那可是中央情报局训练出来的。一些美国人自大，偏见得惊人！
―――――――――――――――――――――――
665楼：美丽的中国欢迎大家到来，特别是我们的巴基斯坦兄弟！！！！
―――――――――――――――――――――――

736楼：中国人总是让我叹服。他们的文化确实给人灵感，现在你知道为什么了吧？谢谢中国给外面带来一场真正好的表演！美国爱你们！
―――――――――――――――――――――――

100 years ago, China was invaded by civilized countries because China is"barbaric".
100 years later, China is criticized because "you guys develop too fast and you are using our resources"
don't call me brainwashed. I am rational and I don't lack sense of judgement just as you do.
I feel proud of my Country and I feel pround of being a Chinese.
769楼：
100年前，中国因落后而挨打，
100年后，中国因进步而挨骂。
不要说我被洗脑呃，我和你们一样理性和不缺乏判断力。
我为我的祖国而自豪，我为我是中国人而自豪！
―――――――――――――――――――――――
