CNN上对中国地震新闻的留言
这次发生在四川的罕见大地震让世界惊骇。我们的媒体在地震之初没有料到灾情如此严重,把报导重点依然放在“救灾工作紧张有序地进行”上,但真实灾情很快透露出来,中央政府迅速行动,央视和其它各类媒体也纷纷动员起来,把灾情真实数据和抗灾现场实时报导出来。可以说,到目前为止除了防震部门对自身失误的辩解让人不敢恭维外,我们的行动是高效和透明的,中国正让人欣慰地走向成熟。
从灾难一发生,CNN就以头条作为"developing story"跟踪报导,快迅详实。我在这篇小文中将转贴一篇15分钟前他们发出的最新报导。一方面可以让我们更多认识国外媒体,看看他们是如何报导灾难,另一方面也想让大家在评价CNN的报导是否客观的同时,学习理性和成熟。更重要的,我将把一些网友的评论(包括美国人的,其它国家的读者和旅美华人的)翻译出来,告诉那些在灾难中的人们,你们的灾难也是全中国人的灾难,是全人类的灾难。在灾难面前,我们并不是在孤军奋战,至少有那么多人为我们祈祷,希望这些来自异国的祈祷给你们带去信心和勇气,把更多尚在废墟下挣扎的人们早一刻救离危难。
下面首先是网友的留言,我的翻译用红字显示。CNN的原文附在文后。

The U.N should form an Earthquake force..An army of Doctors nurses equipment search dogs and food that gets sent in a 24-48 hours. Buy the best HD equipment that can remove giant slabs of buildings etc.
联合国该成立一支防震抗震力量..医疗队,护理设备,搜救犬和食物应该在24-48小时内到位。应该买最好的起重设备来搬动巨大的楼板。

Fortunately, in the news from HK, there is a report on Three Gorge Damn that it has no damage. It is built to withstand the 8.0 earthquake.
I wish people in the epicenter will be ok.幸运的是,从香港新闻上看到有些三峡大坝的报导,说没有什么损害。大坝的设计抗震能力是8.0级。希望震中的人们平安。

我深深的同情与祈祷给那些地震的受害者,特别是那些孩子们。地震到处都有可能发生,所有国家应该互相帮助,互相学习如何减轻灾难...
My deepest sympathies and prayers are with the victims, especially the children, of this earthquake. With earthquakes possible everywhere, all countries should help each other and learn from each other to mitigate as far as possible future disasters. Unfortunately, finger pointing about so many buildings being built not to "code" has already begun. Also criticism about large populations living on or near major fault lines Let us not do this. Today's populations cannot just avoid living en masse on any place in the world especially prone to earthquakes, tropical storms or tornados. If buildings, dams, or levees(see Katrina) were knowingly built or maintained below standard in critical areas, that is one thing. Today, with livenews coverage worldwide of such disasters, let us put help and learning from one another what to improve, and whatever was done right in handling such disasters over finger-pointing less
