3月24日,中国国务院新闻办公室发布《2020年美国侵犯人权报告》。这份报告揭露了美国近年来对人权的肆意侵犯和对国际法的公然践踏。 报告指出,美国应对疫情任意妄为造成失控,美国人口不足世界总人口的5%,但截至2月底,其新冠肺炎死亡病例数却占全球总数的近20%。但就连本国国民生命安全都无法提供足够保障时,却依然以“人权卫士”自居,对他国内政指手划脚。 On March 24, China's State Council Information Office released its "Report on Human Rights Violations in the United States in 2020," recording America's wanton violations of human rights and blatant disregard of international law. The report notes that the haphazard and incompetent response of the U.S. to the COVID-19 pandemic has led to a humanitarian disaster. With less than five percent of the world's population, it had nearly 20 percent of the worldwide COVID-19 death toll by the end of February. Although it cannot provide adequate protection for its own citizens, it's still touting itself as a global human rights defender and interfering in other countries' internal affairs. 评论漫画丨与其坐而论道,不如起而行之 Big talker, little doer 2020年,疫情在中国暴发之初,中国政府迅速行动,有效控制住了疫情。与之形成强烈对比的,是美国政府采取的“战术回避”。 When COVID-19 hit China in early 2020, the Chinese government acted swiftly and contained its spread effectively. In sharp contrast, the U.S. government downplayed the risk and even claimed the deadly virus was a "hoax." 评论漫画丨山姆大叔“否定三连”:不检测 不报道 没病毒 Test no virus, report no virus, there is no virus. 评论漫画丨疫情山火双危机,美国应对有一套 Fooling the nation in the "national interest" 美国的疫情防控信息反复无常,反口罩、反疫苗的言论层出不穷,阴谋论、谣言四起,时任总统特朗普甚至提出“注射消毒剂”这样的荒唐说法。 The information released by the Trump administration concerning the virus was erratic, characterized by rampant anti-mask and anti-vaccine rhetoric, conspiracy theories and rumors. Then President Donald Trump even raised the ridiculous idea of injecting disinfectant to kill the virus. 评论漫画丨注射消毒剂?脑洞够大!Get a disinfectant injection? No way! 有海外网友在漫画下留言调侃了起来:“美国是个先进的国家,他们知道他们在干什么。我相信特朗普说要注射消毒剂肯定有他的理由。这应该成为美国医学操作规范。我支持!只要不在我的国家施行就可以。”
新冠肺炎疫情充分暴露出在美国科学让位于政治。而科学家能做的,是在政客大放厥词后不断地辟谣。这成为美国的“抗疫奇观”。 Some netizens commented on the situation with humor and satire. The pandemic shows that science has been overwhelmed by politics in the U.S. And what is left for scientists to do is to debunk rumors after certain politicians made preposterous claims. This has become an "anti-pandemic spectacle" in the country. 评论漫画丨美国抗疫奇观:政客造谣,科学家辟谣 Scientists scramble to pick up Trump's mess 疫情失控导致美国大规模失业潮,弱势群体成为政府消极应对疫情的最大牺牲品。 The report also notes that the pandemic led to massive unemployment and that vulnerable groups suffered the biggest collateral damage due to the government's inept response to the pandemic. 评论漫画丨疫情当下驱逐移民,美国是在“出口”病毒!U.S. exports the virus through 'show-no-mercy' deportations. 美国少数族裔遭受系统性种族歧视,处境艰难。非洲裔新冠肺炎感染率是白人的三倍,死亡率是白人的两倍,被警察杀死的概率是白人的三倍。 Ethnic minorities in the U.S. suffer from systemic racial discrimination and live in appalling conditions. African-Americans were three times more likely than whites to be infected with the virus, twice as likely to die, and three times more likely to be killed by police. 评论漫画丨America is not a racist country! 报告中指出,四分之一亚裔年轻人成为种族欺凌的目标。针对亚裔的仇恨犯罪也居高不下,亚裔女性更是瑟瑟发抖。 According to the report, one in four young Asians might become the target of racial bullying. Racial hate crimes against Asians also remained high. 评论漫画丨美国仇恨犯罪激增,亚裔女性成为“最佳人选”?In the eyes of a hate crime suspect... 美国民主制度失序引发政治乱象,进一步撕裂美国社会。报告中指出人们对美国民主制度的信心下降至20年来最低点。 The U.S. democracy in disorder has triggered political chaos and further torn apart American society. The report points out that people's confidence in U.S. democracy has fallen to a 20-year low. 评论漫画丨拜登能否修复美利坚“分”众国?Can Biden fix the divided states of America? 美国总统大选引发的国会暴乱更是让世界人民大吃一惊,当然也包括美国人自己。 The riots at Capitol Hill triggered by the U.S. presidential election shocked people worldwide, including Americans themselves. 评论漫画丨拿什么拯救你,美国!Will America save itself? 不少海外网友想起了2019年的香港暴乱: This reminds many netizens of the riots in Hong Kong in 2019: “因果报应,美国当初煽动香港暴乱,如今自食恶果了。” “当时暴徒袭击香港立法会,无人被射杀;如今轮到美国国会,至少三死一伤。西方有必要向香港学习下……” 美国国会暴乱与2019年香港暴徒袭击立法会的场景何曾相似。但这两个事件充分证明,美国对于“人权”和“自由”的定义是要看地点的。 The U.S. Capitol riots are similar to the mob attack on the Legislative Council in China's Hong Kong Special Administrative Region in 2019. They have proven that U.S. human rights and freedom have turned out to be a matter of location. 评论漫画丨民主正义还是恐怖主义?地点说了算 Democracy or terrorism? Location matters 美国在人权、民主问题上是老“双标”了,但他们在单边主义行动上却始终如一。特朗普政府悍然退出世界卫生组织、《巴黎气候协定》等重要国际组织和条约,公然破坏国际规则和法律。真是“建群十年功,退群一分钟(发条推特的时间)”。 The U.S. is bent on adopting "double standards" on human rights and democracy, but it's quite single-minded in the pursuit of unilateralism. The Trump administration brazenly withdrew from important international organizations and treaties such as the WHO and the Paris Agreement, blatantly breaking international rules and laws. 评论漫画丨是特朗普还是“退”朗普?The great American free fall 除了“退群毁约”,美国在单边主义制裁上也“颇有建树”。 Apart from withdrawal from international organizations and treaties, the U.S. has also been "quite productive" in taking unilateral sanctions. 评论漫画丨制裁华为一场危险游戏 Be careful where you swing, Uncle Sam! 评论漫画丨抖音微信,被绑架的新娘 A forced marriage 评论漫画丨美国横行霸道,联合国安理会说“不”!No to U.S. hegemonism有网友大声疾呼:“民主自由何在?真够讽刺的” 。“这个‘自由的国家’怎么了?” 我们的漫画呈现的只是美国“人权”、“民主”乱象的冰山一角。即便如此,美国似乎并未打消向世界输出自己“民主”的念头。不过美国的“人权”、“民主”已经赤字。奉劝一句:别再想着出口了,省点留给自己吧! Our cartoons only show the tip of the iceberg of the mess concerning human rights and democracy in the U.S. Even so, it seems that the United States has not given up the idea of exporting democracy to the rest of the world. But it is already in deficit. A word of advice: Just give up exporting democracy and save some for yourself! 评论漫画丨美国民主赤字 U.S. democracy deficit 推荐阅读:评论漫画 | 美国的种族问题是否有“疫苗”可控? 评论漫画丨生为亚裔,我很恐惧 评论漫画丨冷战思维终将葬送任何和平努力
