麦凯恩败选演讲全文

杨破:我记得上次跟布什竞选的克里讲的很少。麦凯恩讲了很长,想给共和党多少搬回一成。共和党搞不好毁在布什手里。在中国,败了的是不给发言权的。

谢谢你,我的朋友们。谢谢你们在这个美丽的亚利桑那州的夜晚来到这里。
   我的朋友们,我们已经结束了一段长途旅程。美国人已经作出了他们的选择,清晰地作出了他们的选择。
   不久之前,我非常荣幸地打电话给奥巴马参议员,向他祝贺胜利。祝贺他当选为这个我们都热爱的国家的新一任总统。
在这场持久而且艰难的竞选活动中,他的成功赢得了我对他能力和毅力的尊敬。但是更让我赞赏的是,他激起了数以亿计的美国人民的希望。他们原本错误地以为他们自己在选举中所发挥的作用有限。这是一次历史性的选举,我承认它对非洲裔美国人的重要性,今晚的荣耀必定属于他们。
我一直相信,美国为所有勤奋并愿意抓住机会的人提供了机会。奥巴马参议员也相信这一点。但我们都承认,尽管我们已经远离了以前的不公正,但他们的记忆仍能感受到所受到的伤害。这些不公正曾玷污了这个国家的名誉,剥夺了一些美国人应该作为美国公民应该享有的祝福。
一个世纪以前,西奥多-罗斯福总统邀请布克-T-华盛顿在白宫共同进餐,这曾引起了许多人的愤怒。但今天的美国已经远离了那个时代的残忍以及可怕的顽固。再也没有比一位非洲裔美国人当选美国总统更能证明这一点了。我们要让所有的美国人都没有理由不珍视他们的国民身份,珍视这个地球上最伟大国家的国民身份。
奥巴马参议员实现了他个人的伟大目标,同时也实现了这个国家的目标。我为他鼓掌喝彩,同时也对他敬爱的外祖母没有活着看到这一天而表示真挚的同情。但我们的信念告诉我们,她一定是在上帝那里安息,一定会对她抚养长大的这位好人而感到自豪。
奥巴马参议员与我曾就许多分歧进行过争论,但他最终获胜了。毫无疑问许多分歧仍然继续存在。我们的国家目前正处在困难之中,但我今夜向他承诺,我将会尽我的全力来帮助他领导我们共同迎接目前面临的许多挑战。
  我希望所有支持我的美国人,不仅仅是要和我一起来祝贺他,同时还要向我们的新任总统表达我们良好的心愿以及我们真诚的努力。以便大家一起就分歧达成必要的妥协,重新恢复我们的繁荣,在这个危险的世界上捍卫我们的安全,给我们的子孙们创造一个更加强大的国家,让他们在这个国家更好地生活。
无论我们存在何种分歧,我们都是美国人。今夜大家感到失望非常正常。但明天,我们应该摆脱这种情绪,共同努力使我们的国家继续前行。我们努力了,我们尽了我们最大的努力,尽管没有达成目标,但这一失败是我的,而不是你们的。对于有幸获得你们的支持,以及你们为我所做的一切,我表示最深挚的感谢。我的朋友们,我也希望结果不是这样的。这条道路从一开始就充满艰辛,但你们的支持与友爱从来没有动摇,我实在找不出任何合适的词语来表达我对你们的感谢。
我还特别要感谢我的妻子辛迪、我的孩子们、我亲爱的母亲以及我的家人,同时还要感谢那些在这场跌宕起伏中始终站在我一边的老朋友们。我一直都是一个幸运的人,但迄今绝对没有任何事情可以像你们的爱以及鼓励那样让我感到更幸运。大家都知道,竞选对于候选人的家人来说往往显得更为艰难,在这次的竞选过程中同样如此。我所能补偿的,就是我今后的爱、感恩的心以及宁静的承诺。
当然,我也非常感谢佩林州长,她是我见过的最好的搭档之一。我还要感谢她的丈夫托迪以及他们5个美丽的孩子,他们为我们的事业作出了不知疲倦的努力,在这次的竞选中他们表现出了勇气和优雅的风度。我们所有人都期待她未来更好地为阿拉斯加州服务,为共和党以及我们的国家服务。
对于我们竞选团队的伙伴们,从迪克-戴维斯、斯蒂汶-斯米德特、马克-萨尔特,到在这场选举中所有努力工作的志愿者,我要说谢谢你们。和你们的信任以及友情相比,这场失败了的选举根本算不了什么。我不知道,我不知道我们还要多做些什么才能赢得这场选举。每一位候选人都会犯下错误,我可以肯定我也会犯错误,但我未来绝对不会对此感到有一丝的遗憾。
这场选举过去和将来都会是我生命中的巨大荣幸,我的心中充满了对这种经历的感谢。美国人民在选择奥巴马参议员以及我的老朋友拜登参议员来领导美国的下一个四年之前,给了我一个倾听的公平机会。
今天,我是我所热爱的这个国家的最高职位的一位候选人;今夜,我将仍然是她的一位仆人。这是对所有人的祝福,我想信亚利桑那州的人民会同意这一点。今夜,在我的心中,我比以往任何一个夜晚都更加深爱这个国家,深爱这个国家的全体国民,无论他们是投票支持了我,还是他们支持了奥巴马参议员。
我向我以前的对手、未来的总统表示成功的祝福。我呼吁所有的美国人,就像我以前在竞选中说的那样,不要对我们目前的困难感到绝望,而要相信,一直相信美国的前景和伟大,因为没有什么事情是必然的。
美国人绝不放弃,我们绝不投降!我们绝不逃避历史,我们创造历史!
  谢谢。愿上帝保佑你们,愿上帝保佑美国。

奥巴马获胜演讲全文

杨破\编纂新东方译本

Hello, Chicago!
芝加哥,你好!



If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible; who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time; who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.
(杨破)如果有在场的某位不相信美国没有不可能,怀疑开国之父们的英灵还在佑护我们的时代,质疑美利坚民主力量的话,那么就在今晚,他们的疑惑将释怀。


It's the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen; by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the very first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different; that their voice could be that difference.
(杨破)学校和教堂外,人们排起了长龙,聚起美国史中前所未有的人气。人们坚持三个小时、四个小时,守候于此,守候着他们的诉求。他们之中的某些人进行了人生的初次投票,因这一时刻美利坚变革的使命召唤着他们。


It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Latino, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled — Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been a collection of red states and blue states; we are, and always will be, the United States of America.
(杨破)人不分男女老幼、富贵贫贱、地域种族、党派立场、残疾人以及同性恋者,在此刻都搁置争议,向全世界发出相同的信息:我们从来不属于共和党的“红州”或者民主党的“蓝州”,我们就是美利坚合众国,由现在到将来,直到永远!


It's the answer that led those who have been told for so long by so many to be cynical, and fearful, and doubtful of what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day.
(杨破)在漫长的历史进程中,普罗大众的声音说:对于美国今天的成就,我们理应淡漠,理应恐慌,理应难以置信。但是,开启文明进程的钥匙已掌握在我们手中,我们引领历史走向美好未来。


It's been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this day, in this election, at this defining moment, change has come to America.
(杨破)慢慢长路上下求索,福音终在今夜降临。特殊的日子,决定性的选择,造就美利坚从此变革。


I just received a very gracious call from Sen. McCain. He fought long and hard in this campaign, and he's fought even longer and harder for the country he loves. He has endured sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine, and we are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader. I congratulate him and Gov. Palin for all they have achieved, and I look forward to working with them to renew this nation's promise in the months ahead.
(杨破)就在刚才,大度的麦凯恩参议员电话祝福我的当选。他性格坚毅,为他深爱的国家,他弃而不舍。他为美利坚的未来做出牺牲,其中的艰辛超出我们绝大多数人的想象。他是勇敢彰显了领袖气质,而这种无私奉献的精神,使人民由此受益。我对麦凯恩参议员以及佩林州长的成绩深表敬意。我也期待着在将来,与他们携手为振兴国家而共同努力。


I want to thank my partner in this journey, a man who campaigned from his heart and spoke for the men and women he grew up with on the streets of Scranton and rode with on that train home to Delaware, the vice-president-elect of the United States, Joe Biden.
(杨破)我感谢我的竞选搭档,一位积极的男人——当选副总统乔•拜登。为了与他一起在斯克兰顿街道长大的人们,为了曾与他一起坐那趟回特拉华州火车的人们,他投身竟选,为这些普通百姓诉求是他的信念。


I would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last 16 years, the rock of our family and the love of my life, our nation's next first lady, Michelle Obama. Sasha and Malia, I love you both so much, and you have earned the new puppy that's coming with us to the White House. And while she's no longer with us, I know my grandmother is watching, along with the family that made me who I am. I miss them tonight, and know that my debt to them is beyond measure.
(杨破)下一位第一夫人米歇尔•奥巴马。她是我家的中流砥柱,是我生命中的至爱。难以设想,没有她过去16年来的坚定支持,我不可能今晚有机会站在这里。我感谢萨沙和玛丽雅,我深爱你们,你们将牵着一条新的小狗,与我们一起入住白宫。我知道,此刻过世的外婆也正在天上看着我。她与其它亲人一道佑护了今天的我。我思念他们,他们对我的恩比山高,情比海深。


To my campaign manager, David Plouffe; my chief strategist, David Axelrod; and the best campaign team ever assembled in the history of politics — you made this happen, and I am forever grateful for what you've sacrificed to get it done.
(杨破)我感谢大卫•普鲁夫,我的竞选经理,感谢首席策划师大卫•阿克塞罗德以及整个竞选团队,他们的政治才华,使史上所有的竞选团队黯然失色。你们成就了今夜,我永远感谢你们做出的奉献。


But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to — it belongs to you.
(杨破)但最重要的是,将铭记于这场胜利时刻的---是你们每个人!


I was never the likeliest candidate for this office. We didn't start with much money or many endorsements. Our campaign was not hatched in the halls of Washington — it began in the backyards of Des Moines and the living rooms of Concord and the front porches of Charleston.
(杨破)我曾经只是角色候选人。起步时,我囊中羞涩、举步维艰。华盛顿的华丽大厅不属于我,德莫奈地区某家的后院、康科德地区的某家不起眼的客厅或者查尔斯顿地区的某家前廊才是我们的起点。


It was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give $5 and $10 and $20 to this cause. It grew strength from the young people who rejected the myth of their generation's apathy; who left their homes and their families for jobs that offered little pay and less sleep; from the not-so-young people who braved the bitter cold and scorching heat to knock on the doors of perfect strangers; from the millions of Americans who volunteered and organized, and proved that more than two centuries later, a government of the people, by the people and for the people has not perished from this earth. This is your victory.
(杨破)劳苦大众纷纷拿出5美元、10美元、20美元,汇聚起来支撑着我们的事业。曾经漠视时代的年轻人,投入激情的洪流。他们离开家园,以微薄报酬为继,废寝忘食的助选。老人们在严寒酷暑,敲开陌生人的家门争取他们的支持。无数美国人都团结起来,证实了民有、民治、民享在两百多年以后政府,并未依旧在地球存在。这是你们的胜利。


I know you didn't do this just to win an election, and I know you didn't do it for me. You did it because you understand the enormity of the task that lies ahead. For even as we celebrate tonight, we know the challenges that tomorrow will bring are the greatest of our lifetime — two wars, a planet in peril, the worst financial crisis in a century. Even as we stand here tonight, we know there are brave Americans waking up in the deserts of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan to risk their lives for us. There are mothers and fathers who will lie awake after their children fall asleep and wonder how they'll make the mortgage, or pay their doctor's bills, or save enough for college. There is new energy to harness and new jobs to be created; new schools to build and threats to meet and alliances to repair.
(后边是新东方原版了,新东方是什么?)我知道你们这样做并不只是为了赢得一场大选,更不是为了我个人。你们这样做,是因为你们明白未来的任务有多么艰巨。今晚我们在欢庆,明天我们就将面对一生之中最为严峻的挑战--两场战争、一个充满危险的星球,还有百年一遇的金融危机。今晚我们站在这里庆祝,但我们知道在伊拉克的沙漠里,在阿富汗的群山中,那些勇敢的美国人正在那里。为了我们,他们醒来后面对的是一个有生命危险的世界。这些士兵的父母会在孩子熟睡后仍难以入眠,他们担忧的是如何偿还月供,如何支付医药费,如何存够今后孩子的大学费用。我们需要开发新能源,创造新的就业机会;修建新的学校;我们还要迎接挑战和威胁,并修复与盟国的关系。


The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year, or even one term, but America — I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there. I promise you: We as a people will get there.
前方的道路还很漫长,任务很艰巨。一年之内,甚至一届任期之内,我们可能都无法完成这些任务。但我从未像今晚这样对美国满怀希望,我相信我们会实现这个目标。我向你们承诺--我们美利坚民族将实现这一目标!


There will be setbacks and false starts. There are many who won't agree with every decision or policy I make as president, and we know that government can't solve every problem. But I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face. I will listen to you, especially when we disagree. And, above all, I will ask you join in the work of remaking this nation the only way it's been done in America for 221 years — block by block, brick by brick, callused hand by callused hand.
我们会遇到挫折,会出师不利,会有许多人不认同我得某一项决定或政策。我们知道政府并不能解决所有问题,我会向你们坦陈我们所面临的困难。我会聆听你们的意见,尤其是在我们意见不同的时候。最重要的是,我会请求你们一起参与重建这个国家。用自己的双手,从一砖一瓦做起,这是美国立国221年以来的前进方式,也是惟一的方式。


What began 21 months ago in the depths of winter must not end on this autumn night. This victory alone is not the change we seek — it is only the chance for us to make that change. And that cannot happen if we go back to the way things were. It cannot happen without you.
21个月前那个隆冬所开始的一切绝不应在今天这个秋夜结束。我们所寻求的变革并不只是赢得大选,这只是给变革提供了一个机会。假如我们仍然按照现有方式行事,就没有变革。没有你们,就没有变革。


So let us summon a new spirit of patriotism; of service and responsibility where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves, but each other. Let us remember that if this financial crisis taught us anything, it's that we cannot have a thriving Wall Street while Main Street suffers. In this country, we rise or fall as one nation — as one people.
让我们发扬新的爱国精神,树立新的服务意识和责任感;让我们每个人下定决心,更加努力地工作,彼此关爱;让我们牢记这场金融危机带来的教训:不能允许商业街挣扎的同时却让华尔街繁荣。在这个国家,我们属于同一民族,我们患难与共。


Let us resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long. Let us remember that it was a man from this state who first carried the banner of the Republican Party to the White House — a party founded on the values of self-reliance, individual liberty and national unity. Those are values we all share, and while the Democratic Party has won a great victory tonight, we do so with a measure of humility and determination to heal the divides that have held back our progress.
党派政治,琐碎狭隘,不成熟,长期以来这些东西荼毒了我们的政治。让我们牢记,当来自伊利诺伊州的一名男子首次将共和党的大旗扛进白宫时,伴随着他的是自强自立、个人自由、国家统一的共和党建党理念。这也是我们所有人都珍视的理念。虽然民主党今晚大胜,但我们态度谦卑,并决心弥合阻碍我们进步的分歧。


As Lincoln said to a nation far more divided than ours, "We are not enemies, but friends... Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection." And, to those Americans whose support I have yet to earn, I may not have won your vote, but I hear your voices, I need your help, and I will be your president, too.
当年,林肯面对的是一个比目前分歧更深更大的国家。他说:“我们不是敌人,而是朋友……虽然激情可能褪去,但是我们的感情纽带不会割断。”对于那些现在并不支持我的美国人,我想说,虽然我没有赢得你们的选票,但我听到了你们的声音,我需要你们的帮助,我也将是你们的总统。


And to all those watching tonight from beyond our shores, from parliaments and palaces to those who are huddled around radios in the forgotten corners of our world — our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared, and a new dawn of American leadership is at hand. To those who would tear this world down: We will defeat you. To those who seek peace and security: We support you. And to all those who have wondered if America's beacon still burns as bright: Tonight, we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity and unyielding hope.
对于关注今夜结果的国际人士,不管他们是在国会、皇宫关注,还是在荒僻地带收听电台,我们的态度是:我们美国人的经历各有不同,但我们的命运相同,新的美国领袖诞生了。那些想要毁灭这个世界的人们,我们必将击败你们。那些追求和平和安全的人们,我们支持你们。那些怀疑美国这盏灯塔是否依然明亮的人们,今天晚上我们已再次证明:美国的真正力量来源并非军事威力或财富规模,而是我们理想的恒久力量:民主、自由、机会和不屈的希望。


For that is the true genius of America — that America can change. Our union can be perfected. And what we have already achieved gives us hope for what we can and must achieve tomorrow.
这才是美国真正的精髓--美国能够变革。我们的联邦会不断完善。我们已经取得的成就,将为我们将来能够并且必须取得的成就增添了希望。


This election had many firsts and many stories that will be told for generations. But one that's on my mind tonight is about a woman who cast her ballot in Atlanta. She's a lot like the millions of others who stood in line to make their voice heard in this election, except for one thing: Ann Nixon Cooper is 106 years old.
这次大选创造了多项“第一”,诞生了很多将流芳后世的故事,但今晚令我最为难忘的却是一位在亚特兰大投票的妇女:安妮•库波尔。她和无数排队等待投票的选民没有什么差别,除了一点:她高龄106岁。


She was born just a generation past slavery; a time when there were no cars on the road or planes in the sky; when someone like her couldn't vote for two reasons — because she was a woman and because of the color of her skin.
在她出生的那个时代,黑奴制刚刚结束。那时路上没有汽车,天上没有飞机。当时像她这样的人由于两个原因不能投票--一第一因为她是女性,第二个原因是她的肤色。


And tonight, I think about all that she's seen throughout her century in America — the heartache and the hope; the struggle and the progress; the times we were told that we can't and the people who pressed on with that American creed: Yes, we can.
今天晚上,我想到了安妮在美国过去一百年间的种种经历:心痛和希望,挣扎和进步,那些我们被告知我们办不到的年代,以及我们现在这个年代。现在,我们坚信美国式信念──是的,我们能!


At a time when women's voices were silenced and their hopes dismissed, she lived to see them stand up and speak out and reach for the ballot. Yes, we can.
妇女曾经没有发言权,她们曾经希望破灭。但安妮活到了今天,看到了妇女们站了起来,她们发表自己的见解,有了选举权。是的,我们能。


When there was despair in the Dust Bowl and depression across the land, she saw a nation conquer fear itself with a New Deal, new jobs and a new sense of common purpose. Yes, we can.
上世纪三十年代,大萧条横扫美国大地,一片绝望。她看到了美国以新政、新的就业机会以及崭新的共同追求战胜了恐慌。是的,我们能。


When the bombs fell on our harbor and tyranny threatened the world, she was there to witness a generation rise to greatness and a democracy was saved. Yes, we can.
二战时期,炸弹降临我们的海港上空,全世界受到独裁专制的威胁,她见证了美国一代人的伟大崛起,他们拯救了民主。是的,我们能。


She was there for the buses in Montgomery, the hoses in Birmingham, a bridge in Selma and a preacher from Atlanta who told a people that "We Shall Overcome." Yes, we can.
她看到了蒙哥马利通了公共汽车、伯明翰接上了水管、塞尔马建了桥。来自亚特兰大的一位传教士告诉人们:我们能!。是的,我们能。


A man touched down on the moon, a wall came down in Berlin, a world was connected by our own science and imagination. And this year, in this election, she touched her finger to a screen and cast her vote, because after 106 years in America, through the best of times and the darkest of hours, she knows how America can change. Yes, we can.
人类登上了月球、柏林墙倒下了,科学和想像把世界连了一块。今年,在这次选举中,安妮的手指轻触电子屏幕,投下自己的一票。她在美国生活了106年,其间有最美好的时光,也有最黑暗的时刻,她知道美国能够变革。是的,我们能。


America, we have come so far. We have seen so much. But there is so much more to do. So tonight, let us ask ourselves: If our children should live to see the next century; if my daughters should be so lucky to live as long as Ann Nixon Cooper, what change will they see? What progress will we have made?
美利坚,我们已经一路走来,我们已经看到了那么多变化,但我们仍有很多事情要做。今夜,让我们问自己这样一个问题:假如我们的孩子能够活到下一个世纪;假如我们的女儿有幸与安妮一样长寿,她们将会看到怎样的改变?我们又取得了怎样的进步?


This is our chance to answer that call. This is our moment. This is our time — to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American Dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth that out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope, and where we are met with cynicism, and doubt, and those who tell us that we can't, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes, we can.
现在,我们有了回答这个问题的机会。这是我们的时刻,我们的时代。让我们的人民重新就业,为我们的孩子打开机会的大门;恢复繁荣,促进和平;让美国梦重放光芒,再证这一重要的真理,那就是:团结一致,众志成城;一息尚存,希望就在;倘若有人嘲讽我们不能,怀疑我们能,那么我们就以这一永恒信条回应,因为它凝聚了整个民族的精神——是的,我们能!


Thank you, God bless you, and may God bless the United States of America.
谢谢大家!愿主保佑你们,保佑美利坚合众国。

彰顯自信,更要维护自尊

\楊破

最近偶見內地“中國模特之星山東總決賽”報道,其中一張媒體照片引人側目。照片顯示,某大樓一樓大廳從門口到樓梯上,成百名青年男女排隊候選。耐人尋味的是,這些青年們身上的衣服也就堪堪遮羞的程度。如此排隊候選,我很想視之為青年人的自信,但我知道這是騙自己。



聯想到在奧運前夕,曾有媒體報道奧運村為村中運動員以及外賓們提供了數十萬枚保險套免費取用。雖不知最終被使用的情況統計,也不知曉這項福利被誰取用以及用在何處。但作為一個不算受傳統束縛的中國人,我個人覺得賽會這種舉措是否妥當有待磋商。

在不久后看到奧運會上儀容端莊的志愿禮儀小姐時,我甚至少了幾分禮儀之邦人士的自尊感。雖然,每位禮儀小姐都身著手工定制、價值令人乍舌的國服旗袍。但是此時,每件看起來都是藝術品的禮服,其含蓄美的本質,也被酸溜溜的心情減色不少。

當然,保險套和禮儀小姐之間,未必有必然的聯系。我也不認為組委會為奧運村預備保險套,立意是在鼓勵用特殊服務招待友邦。但中國文化涉及私隱性時,在公眾場合還是慣用隱晦的方式做適當回避,這是也是達到文明社會后就形成的倫理綱常。

綱常問題,做適當的修飾是文明進步的要求,更是基本人權的要求。比如,美院有裸體模特臨摹課,模特在作休息期間,會被披上睡袍。這件睡袍,就是倫理綱常的體現,提供這件睡袍實際上不能遮住什么呢,但這是對人權與文明的準則的尊重。

“模特大賽”也罷,“選美”也罷,放在今天中國早以被普遍接納。但這不代表我們的文明觀念、人格準則要求就因此而降低了。在聚光燈下著泳裝展示青春,是賽事要求,也得到了普羅大眾認可和欣賞。但是,著泳裝排隊等候初選,就忽略了對人格的尊重。我們的賽會組織者,是不是忙暈頭了呢?

這樣的疏忽,很可能讓外界做不當解讀,今后參加這類比賽很可能被認為要付出人格代價。此類社會精英大賽類的選秀,代表社會潮流。長此以往,不僅賽事檔次會庸俗化,對中國人文觀念尤其會帶來嚴重負面影響。讓年輕人于人格尊嚴麻木不仁,對于倫理綱常喪失觀念,后果極為惡劣。就像奧運村發保險套,就這一點而言,筆者認為這等安排至少在表現形式上有傷國體、有損國格。

當面對公眾視線的時候,每一個環節其實代表的都是一個整體的大印象。尤其當中國面對外來視線窺探時,要時刻記得衣著整齊。開放的態度應該堅持,但是含蓄內斂的民族性也不是保守觀念。過于疏忽,容易導致不了解中國國情、風俗、傳統的外來輿論做錯誤解讀。

在風俗上給外界過分奔放印象,不是我們的初衷,也不符合中華的傳統情懷和大部分中國人的審美觀。在良性變革中,彰顯自信重要,但顧及到上至國體形象的自尊,下至人權風俗的傳統,都理應注意維護,這才是和諧中國的整體形象。
