給西方的詩

[calgary66]

朋友发给我一首在全球華人圈子引起哄動的英文詩。
詩相傳是出於紐約州立大學水牛城分校榮譽退休物理學教授 Duo-Liang Lin 的手筆；這首詩近期在網上熱傳，原因是它反映了華人的心態，抒發了華人長期以來的集體壓抑。詩以英文撰寫，又在華盛頓郵報刊登，是受到雙重標準困擾的海外華人向西方偏見射出的一箭。 西方某些人對中國的敵意與偏見，原因複雜，有中國人自己的缺失，也有種族歧視、有色眼鏡、利益衝突、以至害怕中國崛起等因素。互聯網是中西交往的重要橋樑，在這種情勢之下，如何促進溝通？這首詩實在值得中國人讀，值得西方人讀。


給西方的詩 〈你究竟要我們怎樣生存？〉

我們是東亞病夫時，我們被說是黃禍；
我們被預言是下一個超級大國了，我們被指是主要威脅。

那時我們閉關自守，你走私鴉片來強開門戶；
我們擁抱自由貿易了，你責罵我們搶走你的飯碗。

那時我們風雨飄搖，你鐵蹄犯境要求機會均等；
我們要整合破碎的山河，你說我們「入侵」······ 叫喊「給西藏自由」。

我們試行馬列救國，你痛恨我們成為共黨分子；
我們擁抱資本主義了，你又恨我們當了資本家。

當我們的人口到達十億，你說我們在摧毀地球；
我們要限制人口了，你說我們踐踏人權。

那時我們一貧如洗，你視我們賤如狗；
我們有鈔票借給你了，你怨我們令你國債纍纍。

我們發展工業了，你說我們是污染者；
我們有貨品賣給你了，你說我們是地球暖化的因由。

我們購買石油，你說我們搾取兼滅族；
你們為石油開戰，你說是為了解救生靈。

那時我們動亂無序，你說我們沒有法治；
現在我們要依法平暴，你說我們違反人權。

我們靜默無聲時，你說我們欠缺言論自由；
我們不再緘默了，你說我們是被洗了腦的仇外暴民。

為甚麼你這樣憎恨我們？我們想知道。
「不」，你說，「我不恨你們。」 我們也不恨你；只是，你了解我們嗎？
「當然了解」，你說。「我們消息多的是，有 AFP、CNN、還有BBC······」

其實你究竟要我們怎樣生存？ 回答之前，請仔細的想一想 ······
因為你的機會不是無限的。 已經夠多了 ······ 這個世界容不下更多的偽善了。

我們要的是同一個世界，同一個夢想，靖世太平。
這個寬廣、遼闊的藍地球, 容得下你們，容得下我們。


What Do You Really Want from Us?
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 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-xenophobes.

“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.

是给自己的诗，楼主真相信独裁者共产党的忽悠？那你真是贱到头了，西方人这么坏他还离开独裁者共产党伟大正确统治的中国来这里犯贱来了。
没错，那里都有头脑有病的人，中国有加拿大有，就象这里中国人（LZ）讥笑白人、硬度人等一样，西方也有。但就因为这个，独裁者共产党就不是卖国贼了吗？就是共产党49年前都说独裁者祸国殃民，事实也是，要不LZ离开整天吹自己伟大正确，年年辉煌成就的独裁者共产党来这里干什么？

其实，LZ 只不过被被卖国独裁者共产党忽悠了，才这样愚昧卖国，嘴巴卖国贼共产党好西方坏，可人却往西方跑。嘴巴民主自由人权坏，可自己整天在那民主自由人权的。

这次刘小波得了世界最权威的诺贝尔奖实在太好了，也说明了独裁者共产党比毛泽东的时代进步，祸国殃民的毛泽东时代，所有对他有不同声音的都消失了。中国人民只能彻底的愚昧的拥护他，所以中国才有世界著名的亩产万斤，却被大卖国贼毛泽东饿死无数的几年。

以前看过农民写给城里人的诗，大意是：我们刚开始吃肉了，你们又开始吃青菜了。
同这首诗差不多， 都是被时代抛弃了的人的牢骚。何必在意别人说的和做的。

The poem was erroneously attributed to Dou-Liang Lin, an emeritus professor of physics at SUNY Buffalo. Professor Lin writes that he is not the author and doesn't know who is.

Dear Friends,

Thank you for your enthusiastic praise and support. Several of you have asked for my authorization for translation into Chinese and/or reprinting. Since this was an anonymous poem circulating in the email, I suppose that the author would not mind to be quoted, translated or reprinted. But I was not the author of the poem. Please see below.

This is to clarify that the poem circulated in the email recently was not my work. I received it via email last week. There was no author shown. I read it with great interest and was impressed very much. I then decided to share it with my friends through my email network. Apparently some of them forwarded it to their friends, and in a few days, it has reached a large number of readers. Because my email is set with a signature block, some of the recipients assumed that I was the author. This is a misunderstanding and I should not be credited for its success.

I appreciate compliments from many within the last few days, but I must say that I am not the one to be credited. I am trying to trace back the email routes to see if I can find the original author.

I was informed today that it was also quoted in Wall Street Journal: There has been a poem by an anonymous author circulating in the internet recently. I feel relieved because I was not cited as the author. Thank you for your attention.

你干脆就回到中国去了。

加拿大西方这样坏，哪里有病了？

东亚病夫哪里来的？中国人自己弄来的？从清朝开始中国落后了，一直到现在，这么大的中国，谁都可以欺负你？中国人民饿死无数，还亩产万斤的，是西方饿中国人民的吗？一直到毛泽东死中国改革开放，中国才取消各种票，不再把革人民命放在第1位，不再把这里所有的华人当敌人。
