Post-May Day, the great - well, at least pretty good - experiment iS OVER 。
发布于
五一节,很棒,嗯,起码相当好---试验结束了。
My home went a month without buying anything from the People's Republic of China.
When I told my friend Vinh what I was up to, he looked at me like I was crazy.
"Everything is made in China," he said.
"I've done it before," I insisted. "I've gone years without buying anything from Iceland."
"I've gone all my life without buying anything from Iceland," he admitted.
我家持续了一个月没有买任何中华人民共和国(PRC)的东西
当我把要做这事说给我朋友Vinh是,他盯着我似乎我疯了一样
他说“每样东西都是中国造的”
我坚持“我以前也做过,我有一年没有买冰岛的东西”
他认为“我有一辈子没有买冰岛的东西”
I mentioned my goal to a Filipino-American who organizes cleanups at a nearby park.
"Everything is made in China," she said.
"But," I answered, "I'm going to buy from Vietnam, Thailand, Taiwan, the Philippines, and Japan, and the US and Mexico."
我跟一个在附近公园负责清理的菲裔美国人谈及我的目标
她说“每样东西都是中国造的”
我回答”但是,我可以买越南,泰国,台湾,菲律宾,日本,美国和墨西哥的东西“
I wanted to buy things from Tibet, but you can't find anything from Tibet these days, except Tibetans, thanks to...the People's Republic.
A few years back, I could have included Hong Kong in that list of preferred trading partners: no more.
Hong Kong isn't a democracy. It could have been, just as Taiwan evolved to be.
Instead, it's part of the PRC.
我应该买西藏造的东西,可是这些天却找不到任何来自西藏的东西,除了西藏,谢天谢地。。。。。中华人民共和国。
如果早几年,我可以把香港列入我中意的购物伙伴:现在不行了。
香港不是民主地区,也许以后会,就像台湾那样发展。
然而,它是中人民共和国的一部分。
It's not China's fault that it's a "People's Republic" not of the people, for the people, or by the people, nor a republic.
It's not China's fault China deserves better than the PRC.
Why boycott PRC goods?
这不是中国人的错,“人民共和”,不民有,民治,民享,也不共和。
这不是中国人的错,中国人应该比中华人民共和国得到更多。
为什么抵制中华人民共和国的商品?
Tibet. Taiwan. Hong Kong. Vietnam. Laos. Cambodia. Mongolia. India. Nepal. Japan. Korea. Siberia. Mexico. Canada. The United States. The Sudan.
Too, I'm testing the People's Republic. Quick to take offense, the PRC regularly denounces others for "insulting the Chinese people." Given its track record on human rights, environmental degradation, shoddy construction projects, ethnic cleansing, and food supply contamination, the Communist Party of the People's Republic of China may be the greatest insult the Chinese people have ever known.
西藏,台湾,香港,越南,老挝,柬埔寨,蒙古,印度,尼泊尔,日本,韩国,西伯利亚,墨西哥,加拿大,美国,还有苏丹。
我现在测试的是中华人民共和国,快速给个冒犯,PRC就有规律的谴责那些“侮辱了中国人”。列出一系列的记录在人权,
环境退化,劣质的基础建设,清除异教徒,食品污染,也许有GCD领导的中人民共和国也许是前所未闻的对中国人最大的侮辱。
China is more than a one-party state. China is a civilization, a people, a culture, a history: China is more than the PRC, yet less than the territory the PRC claims.
I told a Chinese friend about my month without China. Was he offended?
"About that?" he said. "No."
So, what did the household give up?
中国远不至,只是一个一党执政国家,中国是一种文明,一群人民,一种文化,一段历史。中国远远大于PRC,版图面积至少绝不小于PRC承认的。
我告诉了一个中国朋友我一个月不买中国货的是,对他是冒犯吗?
他回答“就关于这个吗?没问题。”
那么,家里还有什么好放弃的呢?
We didn't buy electronics. We put back cheese slicers, vegetable dicers, ice trays, and knickknacks. When I bought a new used Nissan pickup, I shopped till I found a set of Japanese truck tires and American brake pads.
When our refrigerator died, we found a used one - from Korea.
我们不买电子产品,我们推迟购买奶酪切片机,蔬菜切丁机,冰盆,诸如此类的小玩意。当我买了辆新尼桑皮卡,我就一直寻找到,购买日本货车轮胎和美国刹车块。
当我们冰箱使用期到了,我找到了韩国的。
A pal down the street told me, "I went for twelve years without buying anything from China."
Why?
The massacre of Chinese people by the PRC.
At Tiananmen Square.
临街的一个哥们跟我说“我12年没买中国货了。”
为什么呢?
PRC对中国人民的大屠杀。
TA M 事件。
Why stop after twelve years?
My neighbors had a son.
"You can't have children without buying from China, strollers, rockers, toys..."
On May Day, the experiment ended. My wife brought home ice trays - from the People's Republic - only we discovered they wouldn't work in our refrigerator.
She took them back.
Shopping, I still read the tags.
为什么12年了停下来了呢?
我邻居生了个儿子
“你有孩子,总缺不来中国造的,婴儿车,摇椅,玩具。。。。。”
国际劳动节,体验结束。老婆买回来冰箱用碟子---中华人民共和国制造-----只是我们发觉跟我们冰箱不匹配时,她把它们退货了。
购物,我还是看看标签。

这里翻译有错误:
China is more than the PRC, yet less than the territory the PRC claims.
其实原文意思是:“中国远大于PRC,但是其领土应该比PRC宣称的小。”
其意思很明显,是西藏,台湾,香港,东突等,不应该是中国领土。
