主题:德州警察闯入中国大使馆 -- 多数
俺这人就是爱挑刺儿,包括对自己
先是修正:
1.“那三个笨蛋警察竟然被停职”不严谨,他们是被停了“平常的”职,不许出去巡逻了,而是在警察局里呆着---“been placed on desk duty”;
2.“休斯顿警察局长竟然出来道歉”也不对,他还没道歉呢。此事件还在调查中,按照惯例也不该现在道歉。他只是出来要求所有警察都要牢记各领馆的地址。并向各领馆示好:“We cherish our international residents and want to assure them they are welcome in our city”
3.休斯顿媒体用的是“尴尬”(awkward),不是“耻辱”。上个月8名休斯顿警察痛殴一个15岁抢劫嫌犯的“尴尬”还没完呢。。。
补充:
1.美国政府发言人称会“非常严肃的对待此事并适时向中国通报调查的进展”--“taking the matter very seriously and findings of the investigation would be shared with China "as soon as appropriate"”
2.关于不停车,美国一个网友的评论:“diplomats may not stop for a reason. he may carried classified documents and it is his duty for not stopping. ”--外交人员有理由不停车:他可能带有相关文件,(因此)不停车是他的责任。
有位猫先生(Cat)认为警察有理,其他美国人的评论很有意思,我就不一一翻译了,也让大家学习一下:
No matter what Yu did, he was arrested on the property of Chinese consulate. That's absolutely wrong. It is recognized as foreign soil, not US soil. What HPD did is inexcusable. How would you feel if Chinese police entered US consulate in China and arrested a US diplomat?
Cat, diplomatic immunity is a very important principle, and protects *our* foreign diplomats from being prosecuted by laws they are not fully familiar with. I'd hate to see one of our diplomats arrested and flogged for chewing gum (a crime in some countries where we have a diplomatic presence) just because they weren't aware it was illegal.
