officials speaking gibberish Mar 14, 2015

This explanation seems to refer to an unwavering determination by the populace to expose and battle corruption.


Steve,

我认为该发言人用词不当。他对“大家都很任性”的解释是错误的。以往多次政治运动中,就是“太任性”了,没有做到“以事实为根据,以法律为准绳”,才造成了无数冤假错案。如果现在反腐也采取任性的做法,照样也会造成冤假错案。任性就意味着“人治”。从“人治”到“法治”,还有很长的路要走。

Yueyin,

You're right. More and more it looks like the guy was just spouting nonsense. No wonder the poor interpreter had to ask him to clarify what he meant.

Steve,

我觉得他有点哗众取宠。他用词不当,那倒霉的翻译要他澄清是正常现象,是严肃认真的表现。以前有官员使用时髦话“你懂的”,尚情有可原。但在正式场合,此风不可长!

由“任性”所想到的 Mar 14, 2015

前面提到扫荡月子中心。说起这事,也不能“任性”,也得依法进行。迄今为止,美国司法部门的矛头还是集中在非法业者身上。那些中国孕妇只是作为证人出庭。当然,其中以欺骗手段获得签证者,今后会有麻烦。不过顶多也是递解出境、今后不得再次入境,却不大可能会坐牢,除非她们在法庭上作伪证。有些月子中心周围的居民,经当局批准后曾举行过集会抗议。但他们无权擅自执法,无权对孕妇采取检查护照、检查随身物品甚至人身攻击等任何不法举动,更不敢使用“蝗虫”之类的言语来侮辱那些孕妇。

这些中国孕妇选择来美分娩,心情也可理解。将来她们的孩子来美接受免费义务教育,尽管是占用美国政府及纳税人所提供的资源,美国的政府机构及学校也会接受。既然法律规定他们可以入美国籍,他们就能享受美国公民应享的权利和福利。美国的中小学,根本不查学生身份,因为法律未授予他们这种权力。甚至连偷渡者的子女,也都一直有权接受免费义务教育,甚至免费午餐。这也体现了“有教无类”的精神。美国人海纳百川,某些中国人却容不得自己的同胞,实在可悲!如果觉得别人钻了法律的空子,那就应该及时修改法律,但不得任性行事。这才是真正的法治社会。

“铁帽子王” Mar 14, 2015

该发言人使用“铁帽子王”来形容不受查處的高官,也是用词不当。“铁帽子王”是指清代世袭罔替的王爵,与享受特权“不受查處”的高官是两码事。其实,他只要说“法律面前人人平等”,不就完了嘛。何必别出心裁!

QHE,

Now you can see why I'm still hesitant to fly. The way I see it, it's a game of Russian roulette.


QHE,

Now there's one more thing to worry about. It looks like I'm never gonna voluntarily set foot on a plane again.

Phonemica(鄉音苑):

是壹個用各種方言來保存口頭故事的項目。我們相信每種語言(包括方言)都博大精深,都­是千百年來祖祖輩輩留給我們的集體智慧結晶和無價文化珍寶,蘊藏著深厚的歷史積澱和文­化積澱,承載著壹個民族的風俗習慣和情感記憶。

鄉音苑肇始於漢語方言的記錄。漢語語族實際上包含數十種乃至數百種不同的方言,很多方­言之間無法直接交流,且廣泛分布於大中華區和世界各地的華人聚居區。2013年4月,­鄉音苑正式上線,誌在從每個村莊和各個說漢語的地方收集故事。

對於收集漢語方言故事,我們依然矢誌不渝,但從2014年4月開始,我們收集故事的範­圍將擴大至非漢語語族,新版鄉音苑網站具備了收集非漢語方言的功能,包括大陸的少數民­族、臺灣原住民,以及海外華人聚居區等。因為中國並非只有漢語,而漢語也早已遠播海外­。未來我們計劃同非漢語語言專家合作,讓我們的網站更具地方特色。

Phonemica 乡音苑 is a collection of stories in local vernaculars. The stories are contributed by our users, who record, upload and transcribe regional lore: nursery rhymes and childhood games, preparation of specialty foods, humorous anecdotes, local history, and much more.

Our goal is to bring to a wider audience, through language and stories, the unique customs, beliefs and history of each village and each neighborhood, archiving the audio for future generations. We believe that each language and dialect is a priceless cultural treasure embedding history, social customs -- the knowledge of a people.

If you have a friend or relative who is a good storyteller, please register (it's free!), record their stories, and upload. You can also help by transcribing and translating stories. Again, just register, go to a recording in a dialect you understand, and click on the transcript below to transcribe. Phonemica is a community project that depends on its users and we need your help to grow!

When Phonemica first launched in 2013 it was limited to Sinitic languages. However, we are now open to local vernaculars of any language group. On the site you can hear non-Sinitic languages such as Zhuang and Atayal, as well as an immense variety of Sinitic languages.

You can reach the project founders and long-term volunteers by Email: [email protected], QQ: [email protected], WeChat: xiangyinyuan, Weibo: xiangyinyuan
