沉默的中国人（中国留学生发表在华盛顿邮报的感人诗歌）

残阳

近日，发表在华盛顿邮报上的一首诗歌，非常感人！！很真切地表现了从古到今，西方人，西方社会，西方**是从一个什麼样的角度对待中国，中国**，中国人民。

中文翻译：
当我们是东亚病夫时，你们称我们黄祸；
我们注定要成為下一个超级大国时，你们把我们当成威胁。

当我们关上大门，你们派来炮舰、运来鸦片；
我们拥抱自由贸易，你们责怪我们抢走饭碗。

当我们四分五裂时，你们派来军队，要瓜分我们；
当我们努力让祖国山河重聚的时候，你们叫嚷“西藏独立”，说这是侵略！

我们努力建设共產主义，你们恨我们成為共產分子。
当我们拥抱资本主义，你们恨我们成為资本家。

我们有10亿人时，你们说我们将使这个星球毁于一旦；
我们限制人口，你们说这是对人权的侵犯。

我们穷的时候，你们认為我们是狗。
我们借给你们钱，你们又為债务向我们责难。

我们建立自己的工业，你们说是我们造成污染；
我们卖给你们商品，你们又说我们让全球变暖

我们购买石油，你们说是剥削和种族灭绝。
当你们為石油而战，你们说是解放。

当我们陷于混乱不堪之中，你们要求法律。
我们对暴力采取法律措施，你们说这侵犯了人权。

当我们沉默的时候，你们说想让我们言论自由。
当我们不再沉默，你们说我们是被洗脑了。

你们為什麼这麼憎恨我们，我们不禁要问。
不，你们回答说，我们并不憎恨你们。

我们也不憎恨你们。
但是，你们了解我们吗？

当然，你们说，
我们有美联社，CNN和BBC。。。

那你们究竟想从我们这裡得到什麼？
仔细想想，再作出回答

只是因為你们有太多的机会。
够了，这一个世界裡有你们太多的虚偽。

我们只是想要：同一个世界，同一个梦想，世界和平。
这个蓝色星球对我们大家足够巨大。

英文原文：
When we were the Sick Man of Asia, We were called The Yellow Peril.
When we are billed to be the next Superpower, we are called The Threat.

When we closed our doors, you smuggled drugs to open markets.
When we embrace Free Trade, You blame us for taking away your jobs.

When we were falling apart, You marched in your troops and wanted your fair share.
When we tried to put the broken pieces back together again, Free Tibet you screamed, It Was an Invasion!

When we tried Communism, you hated us for being Communist.
When we embrace Capitalism, you hate us for being Capitalist.

When we have a billion people, you said we were destroying the planet.
When we tried limiting our numbers, you said we abused human rights.

When we were poor, you thought we were dogs.
When we loan you cash, you blame us for your national debts.

When we build our industries, you call us Polluters.
When we sell you goods, you blame us for global warming.

When we buy oil, you call it exploitation and genocide.
When you go to war for oil, you call it liberation.

When we were lost in chaos and rampage, you demanded rules of law.
When we uphold law and order against violence, you call it violating human rights.

When we were silent, you said you wanted us to have free speech.
When we are silent no more, you say we are brainwashed-xenophobics.

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 AFP, CNN and BBC's...

What do you really want from us?
Think hard first, then answer...

Because you only get so many chances.
Enough is Enough, Enough Hypocrisy for This One World.

We want One World, One Dream, and Peace on Earth.
This Big Blue Earth is Big Enough for all of Us.
