发帖数: 1862 | 2 方舟子翻译美联社文章 指国内博客写手抹黑美国(图)
（作者：Didi Tang，翻译：方舟子）
亲爱的中国读者，你还认为美国梦盖过了中国梦吗？
嘿，看看周小平的博客，你将学到在美国你将会不得不一年支付3500美
元买汽车强险，买一辆低端国产车要花30000美元，以及在多数公立学校，
超过一半的学生不能毕业。
所有这些数字都是错得离谱。甚至中国宣传官员也承认周小平出错。但是在
过去的18个月北京搞运动反对所谓网上错误信息、清除网上批评评论和逮捕数
十名博客写手的同时，共产党拥抱了周。
这个月早先时候，他在一次罕见的文艺会议上与习近平主席握手，当时这名
33岁博客写手与中国小说家、诺贝尔文学奖获得者莫言坐在一起。周在其博客
说习告诉他继续在网上传播“正能量”。
中国古板的官方媒体在试图突出西方国家的阴暗面时通常很失败，但是周的
做法更为成功：他的微博有50多万粉丝，共产党的网站和报纸发表他的文章。
他熟练地使用时髦的网络语言，包括把他的读者叫做“亲”。
但是他的文章引来了怀疑者的批评，他们说他歪曲事实和误导读者，这让官
方推崇他的努力有事与愿违的危险。

北京，中国——你是否知道在美国，工人辛苦所得低到一小时3～5美元？而靠这点
收入很难生存，因为“路边小店一顿饭每人要花20～40美元”。
这些奇怪而错误的说法只是周小平写的《梦碎美利坚》一文中很多这种说法的一部
分。这个月，在“文艺座谈会”上中国国家主席习近平把此人（连同其同行博客写手花
千芳）特地挑出来表扬之后，这个33岁的博客写手已成为北京官方最推崇的人。习主席
表扬这两个人的作品拥有“正能量”。
周被证明了是一个特别有争议的选择。
他最著名的文章之一，题为《美国对华文化冷战的九大绝招》，是一篇反美文章，
声称好莱坞是美国破坏中国的阴谋的一部分，并把美国人对待中国人的态度比做希特勒
对待犹太人。
实际上，自从上世纪90年代末像《活佛》《红色角落》这样的电影产生争议以来，
好莱坞很担心会由于批评中国而失去一个巨大的市场。恰恰相反：2014年的大片《变形
金刚4》是一部自大、饱受批评的续集，因为赤裸裸地推销中国品牌和迎合中国人的感
情而受到冷嘲热讽。
但是在习讲话之后，与周争论事实真相已变成了政治反抗行为——不管你多么... 阅读全帖 |
