-------------譯者：落木蕭蕭------------- Forging of the Mandarin mermaid: How Chinese children are taken away from their families and brutalised into future Olympians 中國(guó)式“美人魚”的制造方式：中國(guó)的孩子們是怎樣被從家庭中奪走，無情地訓(xùn)練成未來的奧運(yùn)選手的
Watching the new ‘Mandarin Mermaid’ glide to another suspiciously easy victory yesterday - the prelude to what will doubtless be her second gold medal of these Games - my thoughts returned to the disturbing interview I conducted with another swimming sensation many years ago. 看到昨天這個(gè)新近崛起的“中國(guó)美人魚”再次可疑地輕松取得了勝利 -- 這無疑是她將要拿到第二塊奧運(yùn)金牌的序曲 -- 我不禁想起了很多年前我做的另一個(gè)關(guān)于游泳的令人不安的采訪。
Just like China’s Ye Shiwen, East German Petra Schneider had astonished the world in winning the 400 metres medley - this time at the 1980 Moscow Olympics - producing a performance of such awesome power that her rivals (including Britain’s Sharron Davis, who won silver) seemed to be lesser mortals. 就像中國(guó)的葉詩(shī)文，東德人Petra Schneider也曾因獲得400米自由泳金牌而震驚了全世界 - 在1980年的莫斯科奧運(yùn)會(huì)上 - 創(chuàng)造了如此令人驚嘆的奇跡，以至于顯得她的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)對(duì)手們(包括得到銀牌的英國(guó)運(yùn)動(dòng)員Sharron Davis)是那樣的平凡無奇。
And as with 16-year-old Ye in London on Saturday night, so striking was Schneider’s superiority over young women who had trained equally long and hard that many observers wondered how she could possibly have been so much stronger, fitter and faster. 與周六夜晚在倫敦的16歲的葉詩(shī)文一樣，施奈德當(dāng)時(shí)也是在眾多年輕女人中顯得那樣的出眾，而許多人都驚訝于，她是怎樣在訓(xùn)練時(shí)間一樣長(zhǎng)、一樣刻苦的情況下，卻比其他人更加強(qiáng)壯，更加適應(yīng)比賽且速度更快的。
Winning at all costs: Children are put through their paces doing punishing exercises to toughen them up 不惜一切代價(jià)要贏：孩子們正在被罰做更多的練習(xí)以讓她們變得更堅(jiān)韌
Children are trained at camps where the word 'gold' is hung on the wall to make them focus on success 孩子們正在營(yíng)地里訓(xùn)練，這里的墻上印著“金牌”二字，為了不斷地激勵(lì)他們爭(zhēng)取勝利

Sweat and tears: A young girl is pushed through a tough gymnastics exercise 汗水和眼淚：一個(gè)小女孩被迫完成一次艱難的體操練習(xí)
This disquieting question cast a shadow over her achievement for 18 years. But then, during that unforgettable interview, in her cramped apartment in Chemnitz - or Karl-Marx-Stadt as it had been known when she was among the stars of the East German state swimming project - the five-time world record-holder finally came clean. 這個(gè)令人不安的問題為她的成就蒙上了一層長(zhǎng)達(dá)18年陰影。但另一方面，在開姆尼斯(舊稱卡爾馬克思城)的一所她的狹窄的寓所中的一次難忘的采訪中，當(dāng)知道了她是東德國(guó)家游泳項(xiàng)目中眾成員中的一名時(shí)，這個(gè)五次世界保持者終于坦白承認(rèn)。
Having been identified as a potential champion as a little girl, she told me, she had been removed from school and placed in a ruthless training camp where she was identified by a number, Sportsperson 137, rather than a name. 她說，當(dāng)還是小女孩時(shí)，她就被確定為一個(gè)潛在的冠軍。她離開了學(xué)校，被安置在一個(gè)殘酷的訓(xùn)練營(yíng)。在那兒，她不是被用名字而是一個(gè)數(shù)字來識(shí)別，運(yùn)動(dòng)員137號(hào)。
There her every waking hour was devoted to bringing swimming glory to her country. 在那，她清醒的時(shí)間都致力于給她的國(guó)家?guī)碛斡卷?xiàng)目的榮譽(yù)。
To increase her oxygen uptake she was forced to swim for hour upon hour in a vacuum contraption that sucked out the surrounding air; she was fed like a battery-farm turkey on a protein-rich diet; and, of course, she was injected with steroids - so frequently that, even then in her mid-30s, she suffered a plethora of health problems. 為了增加她的攝氧量，她被要求在一個(gè)新型的真空吸塵器裝置中游幾個(gè)小時(shí)。她像一只養(yǎng)雞場(chǎng)中的火雞一樣，吃高蛋白飲食。當(dāng)然，她也被頻繁地注射了激素，即使在她三十幾歲時(shí)也是。她遭受了過多的健康問題。
‘Sharron Davies was not racing against another swimmer that day - she was racing against a different species,’ she told me tearfully in an extraordinary mea culpa which later saw her ask for her world records to be expunged. ‘I was programmed to take the gold.’ “Sharron Davies在那天并不是和別的游泳運(yùn)動(dòng)員在比賽，她是和一個(gè)異類在比賽�！彼郎I流滿面地哭訴著她不同尋常的過失，之后她要求刪除她的世界記錄。 “我是被設(shè)計(jì)去贏得金牌的�！彼f。
-------------譯者：loriana777------------- Was the equally invincible Ye Shiwen similarly programmed? As with everyone who marvelled at the way she eased through the water yesterday, like a killer whale in her white cap and black costume, I hope — oh, how I hope — she was not. 同樣所向披靡的葉詩(shī)文也是被設(shè)計(jì)的么？人人都驚嘆她昨天在泳池中的輕松自如，就像一條頭戴白色泳帽，身穿黑色泳裝的殺人鯨一樣。我希望，噢，多么希望她是不一樣的。
Yet recalling the photographs Schneider had showed me of herself at a similar age, one well understands the fears voiced by America’s top swimming coach. 然而這會(huì)讓人聯(lián)想到施奈德在和葉年紀(jì)相仿時(shí)的表現(xiàn)，人們就很容易理解為什么一位美國(guó)頂尖游泳教練會(huì)為此不安了。
Indeed, they must have flashed through the minds of even the most casual spectator yesterday, so much stronger did she look than the young women beside her. 誠(chéng)然，她的精彩表現(xiàn)即便在那些最漠不關(guān)心的觀眾心中也留下了印象，她看上去要比旁邊的年輕女選手更加強(qiáng)勁有力。
Ye Shiwen astounded the swimming world by knocking more than a second off the world record for the 400m individual medley 葉詩(shī)文在400米混合泳決賽中以一秒多的優(yōu)勢(shì)打破世界紀(jì)錄，震驚泳壇。
Mission accomplished: Miss Ye poses with her gold medal on the podium. Ye insists that her 'results come from hard work and training' 圓滿完成使命：葉小姐在領(lǐng)獎(jiǎng)臺(tái)上展示金牌，她堅(jiān)稱“成功來自勤學(xué)苦練”。
Ye Shiwen possesses that same masculine, almost wall-like figure; the same impossibly wide shoulders and huge, rounded thighs; the same armchair-leg calves. Rebecca Adlington is a strong woman, to be sure, but she still looks feminine; Ye, though barely out of adolescence, appears androgynous. 同樣擁有著的男子氣概，銅墻鐵壁般的身材；同樣是不可思議的寬大肩膀，圓滾滾的大腿；同樣是扶手椅腿般的小腿肚。Rebecca Adlington確實(shí)也是一個(gè)強(qiáng)壯的女性，但她仍然像一個(gè)女人；葉，雖然還在青春期，卻已顯露出男女兩性的特征。
China’s recent swimming history mitigates against Ye, too. 中國(guó)近幾年的游泳史也給葉蒙上了陰影。
-------------譯者：575156847------------- For during recent years its swimmers and coaches have been caught cheating so many times it is difficult to keep count - and it has modelled its draconian training system on precisely that which produced Schneider and other turbo-charged East Germans before the Iron Curtain fell. 在最近幾年里，中國(guó)的游泳運(yùn)動(dòng)員和教授多次被抓作弊，很難數(shù)清。而且中國(guó)嚴(yán)厲的訓(xùn)練系統(tǒng)正是模仿了 東德鐵幕倒下之前訓(xùn)練佩-施奈德和其他強(qiáng)勁的東德運(yùn)動(dòng)員的訓(xùn)練系統(tǒng)。
It began in the Eighties when, determined to end the nation’s perennial humiliation at major athletics and swimming championships, China’s Communist regime decreed that a generation of future champions must be harvested and honed. 它開始于八十年代，當(dāng)決定結(jié)束國(guó)家常年來在重大田徑和游泳錦標(biāo)賽上的恥辱，中國(guó)共產(chǎn)黨政權(quán)命令一代未來冠軍必須被磨練和收割。
To that end, school teachers were ordered to scrutinise their pupils for signs of natural sporting ability and report any child with obvious potential to regional coaches who would install them in one of 3,000 new state training camps. 為此，學(xué)校老師被要求詳細(xì)檢查未成年學(xué)生的天生運(yùn)動(dòng)能力跡象，然后將那些有明顯潛力的孩子報(bào)告給地區(qū)教練們，教練們會(huì)將他們安置在3000所新建的國(guó)家訓(xùn)練營(yíng)中的某一所。
According to her mother, Qing Dingyi, as quoted by the Chinese state media, little Ye ‘expressed a wish to become a swimmer at the tender age of seven’. In truth, she was picked out because she had an unusually masculine physique with extremely large hands and long limbs: attributes at first thought best suited to a career in track and field. 據(jù)她的母親，寧一清，所說，小葉詩(shī)文在7歲是就表達(dá)了想成為一名游泳運(yùn)動(dòng)員的愿望，中國(guó)國(guó)家媒體報(bào)道。 事實(shí)上，她被挑選出是因?yàn)樗龘碛胁煌瑢こ５哪凶芋w型，大手掌和長(zhǎng)四肢：非常適合成為一個(gè)田徑賽運(yùn)動(dòng)員。
Young boys and girls are put through their paces at the Chen Jinglun Sports School, the alma mater of Ye Shiwen 在葉詩(shī)文的母校陳經(jīng)綸體校里，年輕的男孩女孩們正被檢查他們的能力。
-------------譯者：loriana777-------------
The school also trained Sun Yang, who won the 400m freestyle at London 2012 2012倫敦奧運(yùn)會(huì)400米自由泳得主孫楊曾經(jīng)受訓(xùn)的學(xué)校
After being whisked away from her modest two-bedroom apartment, in Hangzhou, a city of 6.2 million, and installed into the Chen Jingluin sports school, however, it was decided she would be best suited to swimming, and by 11 she had won her first major junior championship. 她的家位于擁有620萬(wàn)人口的杭州市，是一套兩居室的樸素公寓。離家來到Chen Jingluin體育學(xué)校后，她被認(rèn)為最適合練習(xí)游泳，她在11歲時(shí)就曾獲得第一個(gè)少年錦標(biāo)賽冠軍。
Her mother insists she and her husband, a manual worker, had always impressed on her that ‘results are not important, but you should always enjoy the taking part’. One doubts she dares voice this opinion in the presence of her daughter’s coaches. 她的母親堅(jiān)持說自己和丈夫(一名手工業(yè)工人)一直提醒女兒“結(jié)果不重要，但是你應(yīng)該享受參與比賽的過程”。有人懷疑女兒的教練在場(chǎng)她才這么說的。
In swimming, as in most other Olympic sports, they enforce a regime so relentlessly harsh that it has been compared, by those few Western observers who have managed to penetrate the obsessive secrecy with which it is guarded, to that in some 19th-century prisons. 和大多數(shù)奧運(yùn)項(xiàng)目一樣，游泳中也強(qiáng)制執(zhí)行了一種殘酷無情的訓(xùn)練制度。有的西方觀察家想要揭穿這個(gè)諱莫如深的秘密，他們把它和19世紀(jì)監(jiān)獄相提并論。
Indeed, after being shown how China’s child gymnasts are trained some years ago, in his capacity as an Olympic observer, Britain’s Olympic gold-winning oarsman Sir Matthew Pinsent - a man who knows a thing or two about pushing the human body to its limits - pronounced it a ‘pretty disturbing experience’. 的確如此。奧運(yùn)觀察家、英國(guó)籍奧運(yùn)賽艇金牌獲得者M(jìn)atthew Pinsent 爵士就了解一些(中國(guó)人)如何提高人類體能極限的方法。數(shù)年前當(dāng)他得知中國(guó)的兒童體操運(yùn)動(dòng)員是如何受到訓(xùn)練之后，他宣稱“這種感受使我相當(dāng)不安”。
-------------譯者：loriana777-------------
Practice makes perfect: Children are put through their paces in a training session at Chen Jinglun Sports School 百煉成鋼：Chen Jinglun體育學(xué)校的一次訓(xùn)練中，孩子們正在接受考查。
Children who our own sports authorities would deem far too young even to countenance focusing seriously on one sport, let alone be taken away from their parents and billeted in these boot-camps, had been driven so hard that they wept, and one claimed to have been beaten by his coach. 一些在我國(guó)體育專家看來太年幼而無法在一項(xiàng)體育運(yùn)動(dòng)上聚精會(huì)神的孩子因受到教練的嚴(yán)厲鞭策而哭泣，一個(gè)孩子甚至聲稱挨過打。更不用提他們是如何被迫離開父母來到這些訓(xùn)練營(yíng)的。
The International Olympic Committee promised then to investigate his claims but seven years on there is no evidence that anything has remotely changed. 國(guó)際奧委會(huì)當(dāng)時(shí)承諾調(diào)查他的相關(guān)陳述。但是七年過去了，沒有證據(jù)表明情況有絲毫轉(zhuǎn)變。
Only last January harrowing photographs were posted on the internet showing Chinese children crying in pain as they were put to work. In case they had forgotten why they were there, a large sign on the wall reminded them. ‘GOLD’ it said simply. 今年一月一組催人淚下的照片發(fā)布到網(wǎng)絡(luò)上，上面的中國(guó)孩子被強(qiáng)迫訓(xùn)練，在痛苦中哭泣。墻上的標(biāo)記提醒他們?yōu)楹蝸淼竭@里(接受訓(xùn)練)，上面只寫著兩個(gè)字——“金牌”。
Virtual brainwashing of this sort is another feature of the state sports project, whose charges are taught by rote that their mission in life is to beat the Americans and all-comers to the top of the podium. 實(shí)際上，用這種方式洗腦是中國(guó)體育項(xiàng)目的另一個(gè)特征。這是為了讓孩子們死記硬背住他們一生的使命：打敗通向金牌之路上的美國(guó)人和所有參賽者。
Their child stars of the future are also taught from the earliest age to deliver vapid answers to media questions - though there are signs that the current generation of Olympians, emboldened and awakened, perhaps, by increasing contact with the West via social media websites, are starting to rebel. 這些希望之星從小就被灌輸面對(duì)媒體提問時(shí)的枯燥無味的回答——然而也有跡象表明，新生一代的奧運(yùn)選手越來越多的通過社會(huì)媒體網(wǎng)站與西方接觸，受到鼓勵(lì)和喚醒的他們正在開始反抗。
-------------譯者：隔夜茶------------- Indeed, this week one of Ye’s swimming team-mates, 23-year-old Lu Ying, risked serious repercussions back in Beijing by attacking China’s grindingly repetitive coaching regime and saying how much she preferred the freer, more enjoyable system in Australia, where she was permitted to train prior to the Games. 的確，23歲的泳壇老將陸瀅，回到北京后冒著巨大的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)抨擊了中國(guó)的不斷重復(fù)訓(xùn)練和折磨人的體育制度并述說她多么喜愛自由，喜愛澳大利亞的體育訓(xùn)練模式，在那里她能在奧運(yùn)開幕前更好的訓(xùn)練。
Recently, other former Chinese athletes have broken ranks, describing how they were so rigidly programmed in the sports camps that they could barely fend for themselves when their athletic careers ended, much less find jobs and integrate with their peers 最近，一些退役的中國(guó)運(yùn)動(dòng)員，描述了他們是如何在運(yùn)動(dòng)中心進(jìn)行嚴(yán)格的規(guī)劃下訓(xùn)練，當(dāng)他們的運(yùn)動(dòng)生涯結(jié)束后甚至不知道如何照顧自己，更不用說在退役后怎么尋找工作和生存了。
Starting young: Olympic champions Sun Yang and Ye Shiwen were earmarked from a young age as potential future champions 從�。簥W運(yùn)冠軍孫楊和葉詩(shī)文就在年輕時(shí)被指定為有潛質(zhì)的未來冠軍。
The school recruits about 900 children from kindergartens in Hangzhou each year, with their parents all but forced to accept their fate 這所學(xué)校每年從杭州的幼兒園招生900名兒童進(jìn)行訓(xùn)練，他們的父母也被迫接受這樣的命運(yùn)。
Had she not won gold, and become a pampered darling of the Communist Party, that would have been the life that awaited Ye. We are told, again by state-controlled newspapers, that she is never happier than when painting her mother’s toenails, reading detective stories, and chatting to friends on her pink mobile. 她將設(shè)法贏得金牌，并成為GCD培育的寵兒，這將是她所等待的命運(yùn)。我們知道，在由國(guó)家控制的新聞媒體國(guó)度里。 她沒有了父母陪伴的快樂童年，不能畫畫不能看偵探小說不能跟朋友一起聊天不能暢游自己粉色世界。
Perhaps so, but for the past six years she has lived in a Spartan dorm with five other swimming hopefuls. 就是這樣，在過去六年時(shí)間里，她與五個(gè)練習(xí)游泳的小伙伴被關(guān)進(jìn)斯巴達(dá)似的宿舍。
-------------譯者：575156847------------- At seven she could already perform 20 chin-ups - an exercise beyond the capability of most fit adults. She swims every day for several hours - only getting a break when the pool ‘needs cleaning’ according to one of her coaches, Wei Wei. 在七歲的時(shí)候她已經(jīng)可以表演20個(gè)引體向上---大多說健康成年人也難以做到。據(jù)她的教練們之一，維維(音譯)所說，她每天游好幾個(gè)小時(shí)，僅僅在游泳池需要清理時(shí)才得以休息。
She will also have been drilled remorselessly in the niceties that can make a difference in big competition: keeping a fixed facial expression, behaving impeccably in view of the judges, showing no weakness or pain. 她將來也會(huì)被冷酷地反復(fù)灌輸那些在大競(jìng)賽中緊要的細(xì)節(jié)：保持固定的面部表情，在裁判面前舉止得體，不要表露自己的缺點(diǎn)和痛苦。
Her only consolation is that her diet will be far more nourishing than that of an ordinary Chinese teenager. 她僅有的安慰是她的飲食要比普通家庭孩子的要有營(yíng)養(yǎng)的多。
Food and legal supplements apart, though, the question gnaws away — is she being propelled by some other, more sinister fuel? 食物和合法的增補(bǔ)物是區(qū)分開的�？墒�，有問題令人不安------是否她通過一些其他的，更險(xiǎn)惡的提神劑來推進(jìn)？
Ye's team-mate, 23-year-old Lu Ying, this week attacked China's grindingly repetitive coaching regime 葉詩(shī)文的同事，23歲的陸瀅(音譯)，在這周抨擊中國(guó)苛刻的重復(fù)訓(xùn)練計(jì)劃。
A group of young boys await their turn in the pool 一群小男孩等著輪到他們進(jìn)入游泳池。
If so, she will join an infamous shoal of Chinese swimmers dating back to the 1994 World Aquatic championships in Rome, when their performance in winning 12 of the 16 gold medals available was attributed by state officials to ingesting an ‘a(chǎn)ncient brew’ of toad-skin and bird’s nests. 如果是這樣，她會(huì)加入低劣的中國(guó)游泳事業(yè)。在1994年羅馬舉辦的世界游泳錦標(biāo)賽上，他們贏得了16塊金牌中的十二塊，被國(guó)家官員認(rèn)為是歸功于攝取“古釀” 蟾蜍皮 和燕窩。
-------------譯者：loriana777------------- Not long afterwards, at the Asian Games, 11 of their number tested positive for a banned testosterone and China was stripped of nine of its 23 golds. 不久之后的亞運(yùn)會(huì)上，其中11名運(yùn)動(dòng)員違禁藥物睪丸酮檢測(cè)呈陽(yáng)性，中國(guó)被剝奪了23枚金牌中的9枚。
Further scandals followed at regular intervals throughout the Nineties and 2000s, including the discovery, in 1998, of 13 vials of a human growth hormone - enough to supply the entire team - in the kitbag of a female Chinese swimmer during a routine search at Sydney airport. 在九十年代到新千年的前十年中，幾乎每隔一段時(shí)間就會(huì)爆發(fā)新的丑聞。1998年，一名中國(guó)女游泳運(yùn)動(dòng)員在通過悉尼機(jī)場(chǎng)的例行檢查時(shí)，旅行包內(nèi)被搜出13小瓶人類生長(zhǎng)激素，這些藥足以供應(yīng)全隊(duì)。
That was the incident which prompted Schneider to tell me about her drug abuse, which she said had been forced on her in ignorance by her coach. 這些事件讓我聯(lián)想到施奈德對(duì)藥物的濫用，她聲稱自己懵懂無知，遭到教練的強(qiáng)迫。
And only six weeks ago another Chinese swimmer, 16-year-old Li Zhesi, was expelled from the team after being caught using the current performance enhancing drug of choice among swimmers: a substance called EPO which boosts red blood-cells to increase oxygen uptake. 就在六周以前，另一名中國(guó)游泳運(yùn)動(dòng)員，16歲的李哲思被發(fā)現(xiàn)服用了一種游泳運(yùn)動(dòng)員用于提高當(dāng)前成績(jī)的藥物(一種名為EPO的物質(zhì)，能夠提高紅細(xì)胞數(shù)量從而增加血液含氧量)，她隨后被開除出隊(duì)。
She was caught, as the Chinese will doubtless point out, by their own anti-doping agency, set up before the Beijing Games as part of an avowed intent to make them clean. 中國(guó)人毫無疑問會(huì)指出，她已經(jīng)被本國(guó)的反興奮劑機(jī)構(gòu)查處了。這一機(jī)構(gòu)設(shè)立于北京奧運(yùn)會(huì)之前，目的是促使運(yùn)動(dòng)員“干凈”。
Banned: Last month 16-year-old Li Zhesi was expelled from the Chinese team after being caught using the performance-enhancing drug EPO 禁賽：上月16歲的李哲思被開除出中國(guó)游泳隊(duì)。此前檢出她使用了提高比賽成績(jī)的藥物EPO。

Having grown an Adam’s apple and developed a manly jaw, she had also been deprived of her femininity, and told me she would willingly have swapped her gold medal for Sharron Davies’s soft, feminine looks. 長(zhǎng)出了喉結(jié)并具有男人一樣的下巴，她失去了女性的柔美，她告訴我可能的話她會(huì)欣然把自己獲得的獎(jiǎng)牌與Sharron Davies一樣柔美女性化的容貌交換。

-------------譯者：落木蕭蕭------------- so ruthless and inhumane. - wake up, somewhere in the world, 31/7/2012 11:00 實(shí)在是太殘忍無情了。
I don't know why athletes have to look feminine for western standards for these commentators, I was watching weightlifting and there was a competitor from Thailand that looked like a man to me yet no one is challenging her results because the US or UK had no chance of winning gold in that discipline. Maybe that's the way she is and she just happens to be super talented, no one questioned Phelps for getting 7 golds in Beijing and that was "superhuman" ability as well instead everyone cheered for him. - emm, london, 31/7/2012 11:01 我不明白為什么這些評(píng)論員們認(rèn)為運(yùn)動(dòng)員一定要符合西方標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的女性形象呢，我之前看舉重比賽的時(shí)候，就看到一個(gè)泰國(guó)的舉重運(yùn)動(dòng)員，對(duì)我來說她像一個(gè)男人，然而，沒有人質(zhì)疑她的成績(jī)，因?yàn)樵谀且豁?xiàng)里美國(guó)或者英國(guó)是完全沒有希望奪得金牌的。也許她本來就是那樣，而且她恰巧又有出眾的才華。當(dāng)初在北京菲爾普斯奪得7塊金牌的時(shí)候，也沒人質(zhì)疑他“超人”的能力，相反，每個(gè)人都在祝賀他。
This is heartbreaking. I can never bear to root against the Chinese athletes because I feel so sorry for them. That country turns them into robots. What a terrible life they must live. - Brooke, PA, USA, 31/7/2012 11:03 實(shí)在是讓人心碎。我以后再也不能給中國(guó)隊(duì)員喝倒彩了，因?yàn)槲矣X得很對(duì)不起他們。那個(gè)國(guó)家把他們都變成了機(jī)器人。這是多么糟糕的生活呀，而他們不得不過著那樣的生活。
Maybe they ought to look back at Petra Schneider's file again! - Tessa, San Diego, CA, 31/7/2012 11:03 也許他們應(yīng)該再去回顧一下Petra Schneider'的檔案！
I'm not a bit surprised as under communism, every person exists to serve the state. Prayers for the children. - John Thompson, Los Angeles, 31/7/2012 11:04 我并不是很驚訝，因?yàn)樵诠伯a(chǎn)主義的制度下，每個(gè)人的存在都只是為了服務(wù)于國(guó)家。為那些孩子們祈禱。
What is in that woman's hand, an electrical prod? - Tessa, San Diego, CA, 31/7/2012 11:05 那個(gè)女人手中的東西是什么，一個(gè)電擊棒？
-------------譯者：loriana777------------- The red arrows will flow but when is the rest of the world going to hold China accountable for their appalling human rights record. The cruelty and dismissive care that the Chinese government have towards their own people and anything else that walks and breathes is a disgusting blight on humanity. Children suffering from lack of medical care, forget it if you were born female, the elderly being forgotten, endangered species being destroyed because of archaic beliefs in their medical prowess,countries like Tibet being invaded and its citizens treated like rubbish the list is endless. I personally don't see much difference between China and North Korea. Cruelty to its people has always been prominent in China, you would think after a few thousand years they would have evolved into more caring nation. - kitty katz, just purring along, 31/7/2012 11:05 紅色之箭將噴發(fā)而出，而其他國(guó)家怎么不指責(zé)中國(guó)的人權(quán)問題？中國(guó)政府對(duì)本國(guó)民眾乃至一切活物的漠視和虐待極大地摧殘了人性。兒童缺乏醫(yī)藥護(hù)理，更別提女孩兒了。老人們被拋之腦后，珍稀物種因?yàn)槠鋫鹘y(tǒng)藥效而瀕臨滅絕。他們還侵略了西藏，像對(duì)垃圾一樣對(duì)待西藏人。總之真是罄竹難書……我個(gè)人認(rèn)為中國(guó)跟北朝鮮沒什么兩樣。中國(guó)向來以殘暴地對(duì)待人民而引人注目。幾千年以后，或許他們會(huì)進(jìn)化成更有愛心的國(guó)家吧。
The photo of the little girl doing the split...is not only done in China. They are done all over the gyms here in the US as well....anyone with a child on team gymnastics has seen it. The reason is at a young age, if the splits have repeatedly been done wrong (legs to the side) then as they further into gymnastics, the leg has to be corrected, also, in order to do the floor routines and bar routines, the hip joint has to be able to bend upward, the exercise the young girl is doing in the split corrects this and gears the hip joint for what it will need to do in the future. Yes, the first few weeks its painful (just as any stretches are in the beginning) but eventually, it becomes just like any other stretch. My 5 year old is on pre-team. She has just gotten to the point where she can do it herself, it was hard to watch, but each week, she wants to go back, she is determined to get a trophy..and be a pink ninja. :) Crazy child. - Nicole, Woodstock Ga, 31/7/2012 11:07 小女孩練習(xí)劈腿的那張照片……不止發(fā)生在中國(guó)。美國(guó)所有的練功房里也這么干……任何一個(gè)小孩在體操隊(duì)的人都見過。這是因?yàn)槿绻麄冃r(shí)候經(jīng)常錯(cuò)誤地劈腿(腿的方向不對(duì))，那等他們年紀(jì)大點(diǎn)開始練體操時(shí)，腿就會(huì)被糾正，同樣地，為了做地面動(dòng)作和橫杠動(dòng)作，髖關(guān)節(jié)必須能夠向上彎曲。那個(gè)年輕女孩練習(xí)劈腿是為了讓髖關(guān)節(jié)得到糾正以及讓它能適應(yīng)將來練習(xí)的需要。是的，最初幾周會(huì)痛(其他伸展練習(xí)最開始也會(huì)痛)。但到最后，劈腿就會(huì)和別的伸展動(dòng)作一樣輕松了。我五歲大的女兒在預(yù)備隊(duì)里，她剛達(dá)到能夠獨(dú)立劈腿的程度，我都不忍心看，但是每周她都想去，她決心要得到一座獎(jiǎng)杯……成為粉紅忍者(譯注：似乎是一款手機(jī)游戲)。瘋狂的小孩。
Of course Ye Shiwen never intended to win gold. The state must have forced her to win anything After all, unlike Europeans, people of China lacked self motivation and needed state sponsored force to succeed in anything, right? - tat3179, Malaysia, 31/7/2012 11:09 當(dāng)然不是葉詩(shī)文本人想要拿金牌。要知道肯定是國(guó)家強(qiáng)迫她贏得一切，和歐洲人不同，中國(guó)人缺乏自主，他們需要由國(guó)家驅(qū)使去贏得一切，對(duì)吧？ - tat3179, 馬來西亞, 31/7/2012 11:09
-------------譯者：zg105959------------- Individualism, dignity and suffering matters little for the glory of the country and a government with unlimited power and control over every fascet of citizens' lives. Think of this when zealot college politicos like Elizabeth Warren use China as an example of an ideal political system. I and millions who escaped it disagree. - saved, USA, 31/7/2012 11:18 個(gè)性，尊嚴(yán)和苦難小于國(guó)家權(quán)力，為了榮譽(yù)而給予國(guó)家和政府無限的權(quán)力控制的每一個(gè)誠(chéng)實(shí)公民的生命。如果狂熱崇拜與此的伊麗莎白沃倫學(xué)院畢業(yè)的政客們使用中國(guó)作為一個(gè)樣板，去將此作為我們國(guó)家的理想的政治制度，我和我的數(shù)百萬(wàn)同胞將絕不同意并離開國(guó)家。 -留言 美國(guó)31/7/2012 11:18
If adults were being abused in this fashion- would it be tolorated. No, it wouldn't. One day, children will have human rights and they will not be able to be used as the pons for adult whims. - deb, bloomington, americWell, since we KNOW this abuse is going on- why do we condone it? Not just condone it- encourage and reward it. a, 31/7/2012 11:29 如果成人虐待孩子的時(shí)尚會(huì)被容忍......不！絕不會(huì)！總有一天，孩子們也會(huì)有人權(quán)，他們將不再是大人們的出氣筒。不過根據(jù)美國(guó)推崇的布魯明頓文件，我們知道這種成人的權(quán)利只會(huì)越發(fā)被濫用，而不會(huì)去被阻止。
Does anyone else notice that in each historical significant case (the East Germans, the Russians, the Chinese) it's always been a communist state whose goal was to make the West look weak? And yet for two of the three (and, if we are all honest, even for China) it is the Communist state that collapses under the weight of its own brutality and hypocrisy? Perhaps China needs to remind itself that one does not dominate the world (or even force most of the world to notice) by winning gold at the Olympics. - Alexandra, New York, USA, 31/7/2012 11:42 誰(shuí)都沒有注意到，在各個(gè)歷史重大案件(東德，俄羅斯，中國(guó))，背后總是一個(gè)西方想爆菊的共產(chǎn)主義國(guó)家？而三個(gè)中的兩個(gè)(而且，如果我們都是誠(chéng)實(shí)的，即使是中國(guó))都是由于共產(chǎn)黨自身的殘暴和虛偽的重壓下而崩潰了？也許，中國(guó)需要提醒自己，永遠(yuǎn)不要稱霸(甚至迫使世界上注意到)，即使是在奧運(yùn)會(huì)上都不要贏金牌。 -亞歷山大 紐約 美國(guó), 31/7/2012 11:42

I don't understand why they would highlight this article and pull the politic into the Olympic games together. It's very common to train the child this way from they were young all over the world, so they won't use the wrong method to create some injuries! More this kind of article just alert the Asia and other nation to understand how racism the western and the American are and they are too afraid any nation do better than themselves! - Jeff Lam, Hong Kong, 31/7/2012 11:42 我不明白為什么要把這篇文章放在頭版頭條，把政治和奧運(yùn)會(huì)扯到一塊兒。從小時(shí)候就這樣訓(xùn)練兒童，這在全世界都很普遍。這樣才不會(huì)讓孩子們因?yàn)榉椒ú粚?duì)而弄傷自己！更多的這類文章只會(huì)讓亞洲和別的國(guó)家警惕，西方人和美國(guó)人有多么地種族歧視。他們就是怕別的國(guó)家比自己強(qiáng)！ - Jeff Lam,香港, 31/7/2012 11:42
