If the government gets its way and starts monitoring what you're emailing, it will join a list of countries with a draconian approach to the internet
英国政府若是可以通过立法并开始监控网民的电子邮件，那他就会与其它国家一道，成为严格监管网络活动国家的一员。

Big brother is eyeing your inbox. Under new government plans, the police and security services could soon have the right to monitor who you're emailing, and when. It's a bit like letting MI5 open all your post and analyse who you are sending postcards to, if not what exactly you are saying. Supporters of the proposals claim that they are merely designed to catch out terrorists. But critics point out that, however it is spun, this is still a gross invasion of privacy – and might eventually put the UK on a par with authoritarian China.
老大哥（乔治奥威尔作品《1984》中意象）正在监视你的电子邮箱。在新出台的政府计划中，警方和安全部门很快将有权利监督你的邮箱，你和谁在什么时间联系都会在他们的掌握之中。这就好像是让军情五处打开你的邮箱查看你的明信片的收件人，甚至还要查看你明信片上写的内容。这一提议的支持者认为该提议只是为了把恐怖分子捉拿归案。而提议的反对者则认为，不管初衷是怎样的，这始终都是对个人隐私的大举侵犯，而且英国很可能最后变成和专制的中国一样。
That said, the UK is not yet among the Enemies of the Internet – a list drawn up by free-speech group Reporters Without Borders (RWB) of 12 countries. The list, unsurprisingly, includes Iran and China. Iran is perhaps the more censorious: the government recently condemned to death four netizens for their connections to opposition websites. And not content with their existing powers, the Iranian government now plans to introduce a "national internet" – a network that would replace the existing world wide web, and allow the government to better police which sites Iranians can access.
言论自由组织，无国界记者曾列出一份“互联网公敌”的清单，清单之中有包含伊朗和中国在内的12个国家。伊朗是网络监控最严格的国家，伊朗政府最近宣判了4名网民死刑，原因是他们与反对派网站有所瓜葛。伊朗政府似乎对现存的监管机构还不够满意，正准备出台一个新的“国家网络”的互联网计划，该计划会用“国家网络”取代现在的万维网，使得政府能更好地控制伊朗民众可以浏览的网页。
The latest Enemy of the Internet is Belarus, where opposition websites are banned, and cybercafes must show the government the identities of all those who use them. The government has also been known to redirect users of VKontakte – Russia's version of Facebook, and a focal point for opposition activity – to malware sites. And Uzbekistan argues "we absolutely do not accept the establishment of any walls, [or] limitations in the information world leading to isolation". Critics claim they're about to block Facebook.
最新被加入“互联网公敌”清单的国家是白俄罗斯，白俄罗斯反对派的网站是被禁的，那些想要使用这些网站的网友需要向政府出示自己的身份信息。白俄罗斯政府还会把使用VKontakte（俄罗斯版的Facebook）并关注反对派活动的用户重定向到一些恶意网站。乌兹别克斯坦指出，“我们绝对不会允许在这个信息化的世界中筑起封锁，或者限制信息的高墙”。批评者则称他们将要屏蔽Facebook。
And it's not just rogue states that are to blame. Australia and France are both "under surveillance" from the RWB. It's argued Australia's crackdown on child porn sites would lead to innocent websites being unfairly blocked, while France's tactic of blocking internet pirates is considered draconian.
上榜的不仅仅是那些流氓国家。澳大利亚和法国也在无国界记者的“观察之中”。据称澳大利亚对儿童色情网站的清剿可能会使无辜网站受牵连而被无端屏蔽。法国对互联网盗版的整治活动被认为有些矫枉过正。
