      TAOYUAN, Taiwan (AP) -- The Dalai Lama denied any political agenda as he began what he described as a ''purely humanitarian'' mission to comfort victims of Taiwan'sworststorm.Althoughthe Tibetan spiritual leader has traveled to Taiwan before, many fearhis visit could hurt the island's improving relations with rival China-- the signature issue in the 15-month-old administration of TaiwanesePresident Ma Ying-jeou.

桃园，台湾（美联社）——达赖喇嘛否认了任何政治的议程，开始了他口中的为了抚慰风灾死难者的“纯人道主义”访问。尽管这位藏教精神领袖曾经访问过台湾，但是许多人还是担心由上任15个月的台湾地区领导人马英九亲自签署批准的此次访问，会破坏两岸正逐步改进的关系。

Chinahas protested the visit, and a Chinese official for Taiwan affairsSunday night warned it ''is bound to have a negative influence on therelations between the mainland and Taiwan.''

中国方面强烈反对此次访问，一位政府的台湾事务工作人员在周日晚警告说：达赖的此次访台势必会对大陆和台湾的关系造成消极的影响。

Ma has said he approved the Dalai Lama's visit but will not meet him.

马英九声明虽然他批准达赖访台，但是并不会与他会面。

TheDalai Lama, who greeted Buddhist followers and supporters at theTaoyuan International Airport near Taipei on Sunday, said his visitwould have no political overtones.

达赖周日抵达台北附近的桃园国际机场，受到佛教徒和追随者的欢迎。而他也进一步声明，此次访问不带任何的政治色彩。

''I've visited different parts of the world, and I may have a political agenda there ... (but) myvisit here is purely for humanitarian concerns,'' he said.

“我访问过世界上不同的地方，也许我会在某个地方进行政治活动…（但是）我访问这里则是纯粹的人道主义关注。”达赖说道。

TyphoonMorakot left about 670 people dead when it hit the island in earlyAugust. On Monday, the Dalai Lama planned to visit a village where anestimated 500 people were buried under mudslides. He also planned to lead a mass prayer ritual during his five-day trip, calling his acceptance of the invitation to visit ''my moral responsibility.''

八月初，台风莫拉克造成了岛内约670位普通民众的死亡。星期一，达赖计划访问小林村（一个被泥石流冲毁的村庄，尽500人被掩埋）。在五天的访问中，他还计划主持一系列的宗教祈福仪式，以实践他在邀请中提到的“我的道德责任”。

Hisarrival at a suburban Taipei train station Sunday was greeted by about50 demonstrators waving Chinese flags and banners supportingunification with China and shouting, ''Go home Dalai Lama, don't comehere.'' The demonstrators briefly scuffled with police.

达赖周日到达一个台北市郊火车站时，现场有近50位示威者一边摇着中国国旗，一边高喊：“达赖回家，不要来台湾”。示威者与警察发生了短暂的冲突。

''I'm here to oppose the Dalai Lama's visit,'' 62-year-old Feng Tsai-chiaosaid. ''I want unification with China, so I don't like him.''

“我来这里为了反对达赖的访问。我期盼着两岸统一，所以我不喜欢他。”62岁的方赛朝[音译]老人说道。

Chinahaslong vilified the Dalai Lama for what it says are his attempts tofightfor independence in Tibet. Beijing has said it ''resolutelyopposes''the Taiwan visit ''in whatever form and capacity.''

中国长期以来都视达赖为积极的藏独分子，北京政府此前也声明“坚决反对达赖以任何身份和立场访问台湾”。

But instead of criticizing Ma, the spokesman for China's State CouncilTaiwan Affairs Office blasted Taiwan's opposition DemocraticProgressive Party for its ''ulterior motives to instigate the DalaiLama, who has long been engaged in separatist activities, to visitTaiwan.''

中国政府没有选择批评马英九，而是国务院台湾事务办公室的发言人则谴责民进党“试图鼓动长期从事分裂活动的达赖喇嘛访台”。

Taiwan's opposition invited the Dalai Lama to comfort the typhoon victims.

早前，台湾在野民进党邀请达赖喇嘛赴台安抚风灾死难者。

In an editorial Monday, the official China Daily said, ''With the mainlandoffering to provide whatever it could possibly deliver to assuage thepains of the typhoon victims, the DPP has appeared more interested inturning disaster relief into a political circus.''

“在中国大陆方面承诺提供一切帮助，援助台湾灾区之时，民进党却把政治杂耍看的比救灾减灾更重要。”中国日报周一的一篇社论这样写道。

Wu Poh-hsiung,the chairman of Ma's Nationalist Party, said earlier Sunday that hisparty had sought Beijing's understanding of the visit, but he did notgive details or say whether China responded.

国民党主席吴伯雄周日称，他们以试图与大陆方面沟通有关此次访问的内容，但是他没有透露更详细的关于大陆方面态度的消息。

''We believe theDalai Lama will have the wisdom to distinguish between religiousempathy and political maneuvering,'' Wu told reporters.

吴伯雄告诉记者：“我们相信达赖有能力区别宗教活动和政治动机”。

In blamingTaiwan's opposition, not Ma, for the invitation, China appearedto betrying to keep the improving relations on track. China and Taiwan splitamid civil war in 1949, and China's leaders want theself-governingisland back.

对于达赖的访台邀请，大陆方面选择了“责民进党不责马”，而且表现出仍将持续改进两岸关系的态度。台湾于1949年因为内战原因脱离出去，中国领导人一直致力于这个自治地区的回归。

The invitation had put Ma in a bind-- either risk angering China orgive further ammunition to hisdetractors, who were already revelingover widespread perceptions thatMa's government had badly botchedtyphoon relief efforts.

这份达赖的赴台邀请将马英九置于两难的境地——一方面惹恼了北京政府，一方面在救灾不力，备受谴责的背景下，为他的反对者提供了谈资。

补充说明。
这条新闻还算N.Y Times中比较河蟹的报道。但是遣词造句中还是觉得有些不爽。。ing。。
举一个例子。

Chinahaslong vilified the Dalai Lama for what it says are his attempts tofightfor independence in Tibet. Beijing has said it ''resolutelyopposes''the Taiwan visit ''in whatever form and capacity.''
中国长期以来都视达赖为积极的藏独分子，北京政府此前也声明“坚决反对达赖以任何身份和立场访问台湾”。

vilify=to say or write unpleasant things about someone or something, in order to cause other people to have a bad opinion of them:
译成中文大概的意思是诽谤, 辱骂, 贬低, 轻视。
