新华社英文版3月10日发表了一篇评论文章（http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2009-03/10/content_10987110.htm），言语犀利，刺激了外国媒体的神经，经法新社引述后（http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20090311/ts_afp/chinatibet50yearsdalaispeechrights_20090311134223），世界各国很多媒体都转载了该报道，《澳大利亚人报》和南非的“24小时新闻网”甚至将引文作为标题，甚是火爆。
不知道有没有该文的新华社中文版，本人将其英文稿翻译如下，想必不如原文来得那样猛烈。以资参考。
What a hell of Dalai Lama's crisis management?
达赖喇嘛多么糟糕的的危机公关
by Xinhua Writer Cheng Zhiliang
BEIJING, March 10 (Xinhua) -- Enjoying celebrity like a Hollywood star, the Dalai Lama can by no means be too patient for only one day to the negligence of world media which are occupied by economic concerns since the global financial crisis. His time to shine comes in March, an eventful month in Tibetan history. The aura around him captured limelight again when on Tuesday he, with his supernatural power as a divine monk, turned a happy land into "hell on earth."
享受像好莱坞明星一样待遇的公众人物，达赖喇嘛一天也不愿意被世界媒体忽视，即使在全球金融危机后如今媒体被经济消息占据的时刻。他的光芒四射的时刻就在西藏历史上这个多事的三月。本周二闪光灯再次包围着他，作为一个神一般的和尚用他超自然的能力将一片乐土变成了“人间地狱”。
The trick lies in his mouth. In a speech in the northern Indian hill town of Dharamshala to mark his abortive rebellion 50 years ago, the lama said the Chinese government has transformed the plateau region into a "hell on earth." He must have lost his supernatural power of clairvoyance, if he has, when he, ignorant of the scenes of prostrating believers in front of the Potala Palace and dancing farmers in their own fields, alleged in the speech that "Tibetan people are regarded like criminals, deserving to be put to death." He also forgot in the speech what a "paradise" in Tibet was like during his rule when about 95 percent of the population were serfs and slaves before 1959.
诡计就来出自他的嘴。在印度北部山城达兰萨拉的一次演讲中，纪念他失败的暴乱50周年，这个喇嘛说中国政府把那个高原地区变成了“人间地狱”。他一定是丧失了他那超乎自然的洞察力，如果他有的话，他在那个声称“西藏人民如同被判了死刑的囚犯”的演说之际，无视信众们在布达拉宫前伏地敬拜和农民们在自己土地上载歌载舞的场景。他也忘记在演讲中提到了，在他统治时期的西藏是怎样的一个“天堂”，在1959年之前的时候大约95％的人口是农奴。
The "gentle", "smiling" monk has never stopped speaking ill of the Chinese central government, but pathetically this time he made false accusations at a wrong time. The Dalai Lama had been in the spotlight since last March through the Beijing Olympics, but he has not been at the center of the stage since the economic downturn grabbed the attention of politicians and media.
“温和”“微笑”的和尚从来没有停止过诽谤中国中央政府，不过悲哀的是这次他在错误的时间进行了错误的控诉。达赖喇嘛自去年三月份直到北京奥运会一直处于聚光灯下，但是自经济低迷抓住了政客和媒体的注意以来，他还没有登上（世界）舞台中央。
In a way like a kid trying to draw attention from other people by crying, the marginalized old monk started a round of false accusations which were rhetorically flaring and demagogic but untenable in fact.
用一个像小孩子一样通过哭闹吸引别人关注的方式，这个被边缘化的老和尚开始了一轮错误的指控，充斥着煽动性和蛊惑人心的字眼，不过事实上都站不住脚的。
In contrast to the imagination that more than 1 million Tibetans had been killed in the past 50 years, the fact is that the population of Tibet increased from 1.2 million in 1959 to 2.87 million in 2008, with more than 95 percent of them from Tibetan and other ethnic minorities.
与虚构的在过去50年里中1百万藏人被杀相反，事实是西藏人口从1959年的120万增长到2008年的287万，这些人口当中95％是来自藏族和其他少数民族。
Luckily, more and more lay people now can see what is really happening in Tibet through their own eyes. There is also people who have a record of history in their heart. Ngapoi Ngawang Jigme, once a Galoin (cabinet minister) of the former local government of Tibet, pointed out that if Tibet's cruel serfdom and theocratic regime continued, the serfs would all died and the aristocrats would not be able to live either. "The whole Tibet would be destroyed," he said.
幸运的是，越来越多的老百姓现在能通过他们的双眼看到西藏究竟发生了什么。人们自己心中也有一本历史记录。曾经的前西藏当地政府的噶伦（内阁大臣）阿沛·阿旺晋美，曾经指出如果西藏残酷的农奴制度和神权体制依旧存在的话，那么农奴们可能都会死去，贵族们也难以生存。“整个西藏都会被毁灭，”他说。
Of course, the "spiritual leader" also has his own earthy concerns amid the financial turmoil. As the global downturn is taking its toll throughout the world, the Dalai Lama may have to face reduced financial support from his western patrons. The monk is never short of sycophants, who may harbor various sentiments. But before he wins the whole world, he has to convince those millions of Tibetans first, telling them what a Shangri-la Tibet meant when they or their fathers were serfs and slaves.
当然，那位“精神领袖”在这场金融混乱中有他自己粗鄙的考虑。当全球经济低迷席卷整个世界时，达赖喇嘛可能不得不面临西方雇主们削减对其的财政支持。那个和尚从来不缺少怀着各种情绪的追随者。不过在他赢得整个世界之前，他必须先说服那几百万藏族人民，告诉他们那个他们或他们父辈作为农奴或奴隶的香格里拉般的西藏，到底是什么样的。
