【译 文】
President Barack Obama's meeting with the Dalai Lama provoked fury in Beijing even though the American leader had informed President Hu Jintao when he visited China in November that this would happen.
即使美国领导人早在去年十一月访问中国时就已经知会过胡锦涛主席这件事，奥巴马总统与达赖喇嘛的这次会晤还是激起了北京的强烈不满。
A statement issued by the Chinese Foreign Ministry declared: ``The U.S. act grossly interfered in China's internal affairs, gravely hurt the Chinese people's national sentiments and seriously damaged the Sino-U.S. ties.''
中国外交部的一份声明宣布：“美方的行为严重干涉中国内政，严重伤害中国人民的民族感情，严重损害中美关系。”
The Chinese reaction was slightly less violent than that to Washington's recent announcement of a $6.4 billion arms sales package to Taiwan. This time, there was no threat of reprisals.
相较于最近华盛顿宣布向台湾打包销售价值64亿美元的武器，中国此次的反应要稍微不那么极端些。这次，他们没有威胁报复。
Still, the Chinese reaction was totally out of proportion to what had occurred. After all, President Obama had gone out of his way to placate Chinese feelings by not meeting with the Dalai Lama last October when the Tibetan monk was in town.
（但是）中国的反应依然太过大惊小怪（不知这样翻是否完全表示出了作者的本意——译者注）。毕竟，奥巴马总统在去年十月西藏僧侣聚集在城里时，特地不会见达赖喇嘛，以此来抚慰中国的感情。
In fact, it was the first time since 1991 that he was not received by a sitting American president while in Washington.
事实上，这是自1991年来达赖喇嘛第一次身在华盛顿，却被在任美国总统拒绝会晤。
The U.S. leader wanted to ensure a good atmosphere for his state visit to China the following month, at which time he informed Chinese leaders of both the pending arms sales package for Taiwan and the meeting with the Dalai Lama.
这位美国领导人还是希望在下月访华时能确保有一个良好的氛围，因而在此次，他告知中国领导人包括即将进行的对台军售及与达赖的会晤。
Chinese propaganda is heavily laced with accusations that the United States is still imbued with a ``cold war'' mindset and is attempting to play the ``Tibet card'' against China.
中国的宣传内容侧重于指控美国依然在灌输一种“冷战”思维，并且试图通过打“西藏牌”来对抗中国。
Nowhere does China acknowledge that Beijing itself created this issue by sending tanks against defenseless students in June 1989.
中国没有意识到（这句倒装句不知如此翻是否正确——译者注），正是北京自己一手造成了这一争议：在1989年的6月出动坦克来对付一群手无寸铁的学生。
It was no coincidence that six months after the Tiananmen Square massacre of June 1989, the Dalai Lama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his policy of ``peaceful resolution instead of using violence'' in Tibet.
绝非偶然地，在天安门广场大屠杀事件之后的半年，达赖喇嘛就因其在西藏的“用和平手段解决问题而非使用暴力”这一政策被授予了诺贝尔和平奖。
At the time, Beijing was so angered that it withdrew its ambassador from Oslo to protest against the Nobel committee's decision.
那时候，北京极为震怒以致召回其在奥斯陆的大使，以此来抗议诺贝尔组委会的决定。
In his acceptance speech, the Dalai Lama focused on the importance of peaceful means to maintain a dialogue with China and criticized Beijing for having used force against student protesters.
在他的受奖演说中，达赖集中阐述了和平手段对保持与中国的对话的重要性，并批评了北京使用武力对付学生抗议者（的行为）。
It was only after the Dalai Lama became a Nobel peace laureate that he was regularly received by Western leaders. In 1991, George H.W. Bush, who saw himself as a friend of China, became the first American president to receive him.
正是在达赖喇嘛被授予了诺贝尔和平奖之后，他开始得到西方领导人的规律性接见。1991年，自认为是中国的朋友的老布什成为了第一位接见达赖的美国总统。
Since then, the Dalai Lama has been received by the president, regardless of political party, virtually each time he has visited Washington.5
从那以后，几乎每次在他拜访华盛顿时，不管是否政党，达赖都会被总统接见。
This is the background to the reception given to the Dalai Lama. To the extent that it was an expression of revulsion to the bloody actions in China of 1989, yes, it can be called the playing of a card. But it is a stretch from that to saying that the intention is to dismember China or to prevent its rise into a global power.
这就是达赖受到接待的背景。若将其看作是对发生在中国的1989年流血事件的一种极度厌恶表现的话，的确，这（指前文所言的“美国试图打‘西藏牌’”——译者注）可称之为“打牌”。不过，这也只是“紧张局势将要分割中国或者遏制其在全球力量上的上升”这种说法的一个延伸而已（这句其实没太看懂是啥意思？求教——译者注）。
In fact, American presidents with very few exceptions have gone to great lengths to meet with the Dalai Lama in a low-profile manner so as not to provoke China.
事实上，几乎不抱任何期待的美国的历任总统长期与达赖喇嘛保持一种低调的会晤形式，为的就是不激怒中国。
President Bill Clinton, for example, used to see the Tibetan spiritual leader when he was in the White House ostensibly to meet another official, and the president would happen to drop by.
比如克林顿总统（在与其进行会晤时），每次这位西藏精神领袖表面上是与另一位官员在白宫进行会见，然后总统就会“顺便”来访一下。
This time, for example, President Obama met him not in the Oval Office but in the Map Room and no press was allowed to cover the meeting.
又比如这一次，奥巴马总统会见他时就不是在椭圆形办公室而是在地图室，也不允许任何媒体报道此次会见。
But efforts to placate Beijing seem to have no effect. That being the case, the United States may decide in the future that there is little point making such gestures since they are not appreciated.!
但是，所有安抚北京的努力看似都白费了。情况既然如此，美国可能决定在将来少做点这样的（低）姿态，既然人家也不领情。
But the crux of the Tibet issue is that Chinese policy in the region over the last half century has been a dismal failure, despite a policy of pumping money into the region by building infrastructure.
但西藏问题的关键是，中国在该地区实施的超过半个世纪的政策已是一个凄凉的失败结果，只除了在该地区投入资金用于建设基础设施的政策。
If Chinese governance of Tibet had been really successful, there would be no Tibet problem today. Tibetans in China would no longer try to flee the country and those in exile would return from India.
如果中国对西藏的统治是真正成功的话，就不会有今天的西藏问题了。在中国的西藏人也就不会再试图逃离这个国家，而那些流亡海外的（藏人）也会从印度回去了。
In this, the Hong Kong issue is instructive. The exodus from Hong Kong before 1997 ended after the resumption of Chinese sovereignty and many of the hundreds of thousands of people who left have returned.
在这一方面，香港问题是值得借鉴的。在1997年结束前，大批人离开香港；而在中国主权收回之后，成百上千离去的人中有大部分人又回去了。
China should abandon its hard-line policy toward Tibet and instead work to attract Tibetan exiles to return to their homeland. It must begin by stopping the ridiculous caricature of the Dalai Lama as a terrorist and a separatist.
中国应该放弃它对西藏的强硬政策，取而代之的是，做些工作让流亡藏人回到他们的祖国（这个“祖国”究竟指的是……——译者注）。必须开始停止将达赖喇嘛讽刺成一个恐怖分子和分裂主义的愚蠢行径。
Castigating the Dalai Lama, who continues to enjoy the respect, indeed the reverence, of most Tibetans, will simply perpetuate Chinese policy failures.
对一直深受广大藏人发自内心的崇敬的达赖喇嘛进行谴责，只会让中国的政策永远失败。
