跟外交部發言人學英語
華春瑩回應駐港部隊對香港實施戒嚴：謠言。
2019年8月2日外交部發言人華春瑩主持例行記者會。
Q: According to reports, some Hong Kong civil servants will gather at the Central District tonight to calling for the cancellation of the amendment bill to the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance. There have been claims that the Hong Kong SAR government will take this as a reason to ask the PLA Hong Kong Garrison to enforce martial law on the early morning of August 4. Reportedly they will clear the staff of American and European consulates-general and American and British passport-holders from Hong Kong. What"s your response to such claims?
問：據報道，部分香港公務員今晚將在香港中環一帶發起集會，要求撤回《逃犯條例》修訂草案。有消息稱，香港特區政府將會以此為由在8月4日凌晨申請駐港部隊對香港實施戒嚴，並清理歐美國家駐港總領事館人員和持有美國、英國護照人士。對於這樣的傳言，中方有何回應？
A: You called them"claims", but let me make it clear, they are nothing more than rumors. Such malicious rumors are designed to spread fear.
答：你說這是傳言，我可以明確告訴你，這哪裡只是傳言，這根本就是謠言！用心非常險惡，就是想製造恐慌。
Hong Kong has long enjoyed peace, prosperity and stability. I believe Hong Kong citizens can truly feel that. They hope to see continued prosperity and stability in the long run. But since June this year, there have been demonstrations and rallies in Hong Kong concerning the amendment of the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance and the Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters Ordinance. Some radical protesters deliberately provoked and incited violent incidents, which severely threatened public security and undermined Hong Kong"s rule of law, social order, economy, people"s life and international image. The central government firmly supports the Hong Kong SAR government in handling this issue in accordance with law.
長期以來，香港享受著和平繁榮與穩定，我相信廣大香港市民對此感同身受，希望繼續維護香港的長期繁榮與穩定的局面。但今年6月以來，圍繞修訂《逃犯條例》和《刑事事宜相互法律協助條例》問題，香港發生了一些遊行集會活動，其間有一些激進示威者蓄意挑起、製造暴力事件，嚴重威脅公眾安全，對香港的法治、社會秩序、經濟民生和國際形象造成了嚴重影響。中央政府堅定支持香港特區政府依法處置。
I must point out that the governments of the US and some other Western countries have called black white and fanned the flames by making irresponsible remarks. They have played a very bad role in the situation in Hong Kong. Such behaviors constitute gross interference in China"s internal affairs. We advise these foreign forces to grasp the situation and fully understand the central government"s resolve and capability to support the SAR goverment"s administration and to safeguard Hong Kong"s security, stability and social order. They"d better stop pulling chestnuts out of the fire before it"s too late.
必須指出，美國等一些西方國家政府顛倒黑白，混淆是非，就香港局勢煽風點火，妄加評論，對目前香港局勢的發展起到了非常壞的作用，這樣的行徑是對中國內部事務的粗暴干涉。我們奉勸這些外國勢力認清形勢，認清中國中央政府堅定支持香港特區政府依法施政、維護香港安全與穩定秩序的決心和能力，千萬不要企圖火中取栗。希望他們及時懸崖勒馬。
In the meantime, we hope our friends from the press will distinguish the aspiration of common people in Hong Kong from the violent and illegal behaviors of a very small number of violent radicals. Please do not let those violent radicals hijack all Hong Kong residents. I believe the Hong Kong people clearly understand that. Also, I have seen more and more reports saying that Hong Kong residents express dissatisfaction against those behaviors that undermine social order and security in Hong Kong. They hope tranquility will be resumed as early as possible.
同時，我們希望記者朋友們在報道時，一定要把普通香港市民的訴求與極少數激進暴力分子的暴力違法活動區分開來，千萬不要讓廣大香港市民被極少數激進暴力分子綁架。相信廣大香港市民對此有清醒的認識。我也看到報道稱，有越來越多的香港市民對於極少數激進暴力分子危害香港秩序和安全的行為表達了不滿。希望香港社會儘快恢復安寧。
今後，「跟外交部發言人學英語」的欄目會長期上線~
