印尼华人的一封求救信由一位朋友那里传来。doubtfire现草译为中文，供大家参考

To: All honorable members of the society

致全社会正直的有良知的公民们

Dear Sir, and/or Mdm,

亲爱的先生/女士：

If you have watched TV, read newspapers, or turned on the radio this past several days, you may heard of the riots in Indonesia. News media are telling us the Indonesian Pribumis (Malay) people are rising up against the Suharto dictatorship. We are told that the Indonesia poor Malay

suffered a lot under Suharto's corrupted regime, and they wanted change.

如果您最近几天收看电视，看报纸，听广播，您可能已经听说了印尼发生的暴乱。新闻媒体传播的消息是，印尼的Pribumis（马来人）正在反抗苏哈托的专制。贫苦的马来人在苏的独裁统治下受难多年，现在是他们来改变这种状况的时候了。

The Indonesia Pribumis (Malay) comprises over 80% of the total population. Most of them are Muslims. The Indonesian ethnic Chinese minority are mostly Buddhist or Christian. The news media portrayed the Indonesian Malay as honest, decent, peace loving people who rioted because they were hungry, they were poor, and they were victimized by Suharto, and his filthy-rich Indonesian Chinese allies.

印尼的马来人占总人口的80%。他们中的大多数是穆斯林。印尼华人是当地少数民族，大多信仰佛教或基督教。新闻媒体把印尼的马来人描绘为诚实、正派、爱好和平的人，他们制造暴乱是因为他们饥饿、贫穷，他们是苏哈托和不正当地富有的印尼华裔的牺牲品。

who is Suharto? Is Suharto an Indonesian Pribumi (Malay,) or is he an Indonesian Chinese? Is Suharto a Muslim, or is he a Christian or a Buddhist? Aren't you curious that almost all reports about the Indonesian rioters savagely attacking businesses owned by the Indonesian ethnic Chinese minority come with the DISCLAIMER-like pseudo-economic news attachment that reminds us of the "disproportion wealth gap" between the Chinese and the Malay in Indonesia?

谁是苏哈托？是印尼的马来人？是印尼的华人？是穆斯林？是基督徒还是佛教徒？您对几乎所有的报道都把对印尼华人的残暴行为跟华人与马来人的贫富悬殊联系起来不感到奇怪吗？

A disclaimer-like news attachment usually looks like this:"The Indonesian ethnic Chinese minority only comprises less than 4% of the Indonesian population, but they controlled more than (70%, 75%, 80%,85%, 90%, take your pick) of the entire Indonesian economy."

这类似乎非常客观的经济附加报道通常是以这样的面目出现的：“印尼华人少数民族仅占印尼总人口数量的4%不到，但他们却控制着超过（70%、75%、80%、85%、90%，任由选择）的经济财富。”

Don't you find it strange the news media attach an ECONOMIC disclaimer whenever they report the BLATANTLY RACIST RIOTS in Indonesia perpetrated by people from the MAJORITY RACE

against people of the MINORITY RACE?

您没有发现媒体的报道很奇怪吗？无论什么时候他们报道印尼多数民族反对少数民族的种族主义暴乱，上面这样的“客观”经济报道总是附在后面！

Could it be possible that 4% of the population controlling over 90% of the economy? Suharto and his family are reported to have accumulated up to 40 BILLION USD in wealth. Is Suharto and his family counted among the 4% of the population? Is Suharto and his family ethnically CHINESE?

占总人口4%的印尼华人有可能控制90%以上的经济吗？据报道苏哈托和他的家族累积财富达400亿美元。苏哈托算在4%的人口里面吗？苏哈托跟他的家人是华人吗？

Is the World Press reporting from Indonesia consistent with their reporting from elsewhere around the world? Here are several recent world events, as reported to us by the same International Media:

印尼的国际新闻（World Press）跟他们在世界其他地方的报道一致吗？下面是最近的几起国际性事件，由同一家国际媒体向我们报道。

In Rwanda, when the MAJORITY Hutus attacked and massacre the minority Tutsis, the World Press reported it as a racial-based tragedy. There was no mention of the economic differences. In Bosnia, when the MAJORITY Serbs and/or the Croats attacked and massacre the Bosnia Muslims, the International Media told us it was religious-based.

在卢旺达，多数民族Hutus屠杀少数民族Tutsis，国际新闻报道，这是基于种族主义的悲剧。没有提到任何经济差异。在波西尼亚，多数民族塞族（Serbs）和/或克族（Croats）袭击波

西尼亚的穆斯林，这家媒体告诉我们，这是基于宗教的杀戮。

The conflicts between the Albanian and Serbs in Kosovo are being reported as race-based conflicts.Why then, whenever the Indonesian Malay MAJORITY savagely attacked the Indonesian Chinese minority, the World Media kept on insisting that the attacks motivated by RACIST hatred were ECONOMIC-related riots?

在科索沃（Kosovo）的阿尔巴尼亚人和塞族人之间的冲突，被报道为基于种族主义的争端。但为什么，不论什么时候印尼的多数民族马来人野蛮地攻击印尼华人少数民族，这家新闻机构都把眼光盯在经济上，并称种族主义者的仇恨跟经济有关。

Have you heard any single news story that portrayed the Indonesian Malay as racists for their attack on Chinese owned businesses? Have you wonder why the Indonesian Malay only attacked the Chinese shops, and not the Malay, American, British, or Arabian businesses?

您曾经听到过任何一条新闻，描绘印尼马来人作为种族主义者攻击华人属下企业吗？您不奇怪印尼的马来人为何只攻击华人店铺，而不攻击马来人的、美裔印尼人的、英裔印尼人的、或者阿拉伯裔印尼人的呢？

Are ALL Indonesian Chinese FILTHY-RICH? Of the Indonesian Chinese, only 5% can be classified as wealthy. The rest -NINETY-FIVE PERCENT (95%) - of them are either in the medium or lower-income strata of the Indonesian economy. Today, many Indonesian ethnic Chinese are still living in wooden shacks because they can NOT afford brick houses. Many of the poor Indonesian Chinese worked very hard but they still find it extremely difficult to make enough money to feed and house their family. Most of the really wealthy Indonesian Chinese already LEFT Indonesia. Those stayed behind in Indonesia are the poor Chinese who don't have the economic means to escape. And they are those whose businesses are being LOOTED, whose merchandizes are being PLUNDERED, whose buildings are being TORCHED, whose women are being RAPED, and whose children are being BRUTALLY SLAUGHTERED.

所有的印尼华人都是不正当致富的吗？在印尼华人中，仅有5%能被归入富人阶级。其余的95%是中产阶级或低收入者。今天，许多印尼华人仍然生活在木制的房子里，因为他们买不起砖瓦房！许多贫穷的印尼华人艰辛工作，但仍然极其困难，缺乏足够的钱解决家人的温饱。大多数真正富有的印尼华人已经离开印尼。那些留在印尼的都是贫穷的华人，没有经济能力离开这个地方。他们的财务被掠夺；他们的货品被霸占；他们的房子被付之一炬；他们的女人被强暴；他们的孩子被没有人性的屠杀！

They are the ones made homeless by the Pribumis savagery attacks, they are made even poorer for having their small business totally destroyed by the rioters. The shops that were destroyed were mostly mom-and-pop type of small business. With their shops burnt to the ground, those already poor Chinese gotten even POORER. They lost not only their businesses, they lost their home, and they lost many of their family members who were killed by the Indonesian Malay rioters.

他们因为Pribumis的野蛮攻击而无家可归。他们因为连小本生意都荡然无存而更加贫穷。那些被毁坏的商店绝大多数都是小型的夫妻店。他们不仅失去了生存的依靠，失去了家园，更失去了被印尼马来暴乱者夺去了生命的亲人。

How many of the news reports you have read regarding the Indonesian riots mentioned all these facts? What is the percentage of those news reports even talked about the Chinese who were BRUTALLY BUTCHERED by the rioters?

有多少新闻报道提到上面的这些事实？有多少新闻报道谈及被暴乱者残无人道地屠杀的华人？

Think back for a minute, of the many of the news reports you have read about Indonesia, can you think of one which mentioned the number of Chinese killed in by the Malay rioters? How many of those news reports focused on the plight of the Indonesian ethnic Chinese minority?

停下来想一想，在您看到的新闻报道中，您能记得有哪一家提到在暴乱中丧生的华人人数吗？有多少家新闻报道把镜头对准印尼华裔少数民族的生存状况？

Did the News Media ever tell us how many Chinese were hurt?

媒体告诉我们有多少华人受到伤害了吗？

Did they tell us how many Chinese women were RAPED?

媒体告诉我们有多少华人妇女遭到强暴吗？

Did they tell us how many Chinese were SLAUGHTERED?

媒体告诉我们有多少华人被杀戮吗？

Did they described to us what type of HORRIBLE DEATHS the Chinese had suffered by the hands of the BRUTAL HANDS of the Malay rioter

媒体向我们描绘过华人遭到马来暴乱分子的残酷折磨后的恐怖死相吗？

Do you know the story of the innocent THREE-YEAR-OLD Chinese GIRL who was BRUTALLY BUTCHERED by the Indonesian Malay rioters when they broke into her parents house, in Tanjong Pinang, of Indonesia? The rioters first broke into her parents' house. They KILLED her grandmother. Then the rioters RAPED and BUTCHERED her mother Finally they MURDERED this INNOCENT 3 year-old Chinese GIRL, by smashed open her skull, with a metal pipe.

您知道一个无辜的三岁女孩的故事吗？她是在暴乱者闯入Tanjong槟榔她的父母的房间时被残无人道地杀害的。他们杀了她的祖母，强暴并杀害了她的母亲。最后这些杀人犯用一根金属管打开了她的头盖骨。

Has CNN reported this news?

CNN报道过这条新闻吗？

Has BBC covered this event?

BBC揭露过这个事件吗？

Has AP, UPI, or Reuters distributed this story?

AP、UPI或者路透社发布过这条新闻吗？

?/P>

Wonder why none of the Wold Press is interested in reporting the horrible death of an INNOCENT 3-year-old GIRL? Was it because the little girl is from the Indonesia ethnic Chineseminority background? Was it because her family is definitely NOT rich, which may jeopardized the "Indonesian Chinese = FILTHY-RICH" image painted by so many journalists reporting from Indonesia, for the World Media?

您很奇怪印尼的国际新闻为什么不报道一个无辜的三岁女孩的恐怖死状？是因为她的印尼华裔背景吗？还是因为她的家庭并不富有，危害到众多新闻机构渲染的所谓“印尼华人=不正当富人”的说法？

Was it because she was a innocently sweet little girl, unlike the "Indonesian Chinese = COLD-HEARTED, EVIL BUSNESSMEN" image so many journalists would have us believed?

是因为她是一个无辜的可爱的小女孩，跟众多新闻媒体灌输给我们的“印尼华人=冷血邪恶的商人”形象不符？

Was it because her INNOCENCE may proved to us that Indonesian Chinese are flesh-and-blood human beings, much like the rest of the humanities,which again, may smash the "Indonesian Chinese nON-HUMAN" image many members of the World Press would like to plant deep into our minds?

是因为她的无辜可以向我们证明，印尼华人是有血有肉的人，跟其他人一样的人，而这会把国际新闻中的很多人想印在我们脑子中的“印尼华人不是人”的标记撕个粉碎？

what motivated the International Press members to engage in such a world-wide scale of DIS-INFORMATION campaign? Why are so many journalists trying to make the Indonesian ethnic Chinese minority into a "FILTHY-RICH," "COLD-HEARTED," and "EVIL" people, and In the meantime they try to portray the Indonesian pribumi (Malay) rioters, who would NOT even spare the life of an INNOCENT 3-year-old LITTLE GIRL, as "MILD-MANNERED"?

是什么促使国际出版社（International Press）的人忙于散布这样一个世界性的谎言？为什么如此多的新闻记者力图把印尼华人推进“不正当富人”、“冷血动物”、“邪恶者”之类的群体？而与此同时又把印尼的Pribumi（马来人）暴乱者，那些甚至连一个三岁的无辜女孩的生命都不放过的人，描绘成“温和的守规矩人”？

The Indonesian Chinese are the VICTIMS, the Indonesian Pribumis are the PETRATORS. But yet, every time a news story of Chinese houses being burned, the same news story also told us how WEALTHY those Chinese are. Did you ever read a news report which scrutinized the wealth of the victims who just had their house burned to the ground? Every time there is a mention about Chinese business being looted, there is also a mention of how much ECONOMIC POWER those Chinese have.

每一次报道关于某个华人的房子被烧毁的新闻，同样的新闻就会告诉我们那些华人有多么富有。您什么时候看到过新闻报道真得仔细调查过被烧了房子的华人的财产吗？

How many time have you ever read a news report which linked the economic status of a mug victim, to the crime (of mugging) itself? just how credible are the news reports from Indonesia? How ludicrous the journalists want to be? How much DIS-INFORMATION they are allowed to pump out before they are called to task to answer for all the GARBAGES they have written? Are the Indonesian ethnic Chinese minorities strong allies of Suharto?

印尼的新闻报道有多少是可靠的？您能想象新闻机构制造的荒谬可笑能到什么程度吗？印尼的少数民族华人真得是苏哈托强大的同盟军吗？

The Indonesian ethnic Chinese minorities had been victimized under the Suharto-led Pribumi government. Although they are ethnic Chinese, they are NOT allowed to have a Chinese name. The Suharto-led Pribumi regime dictated that NO Chinese in Indonesia can have Chinese name. ALL Chinese in Indonesia MUST have Indonesian name, or they will not be granted an Indonesian citizenship.

在苏哈托专制统治下，印尼华人已经备受摧残。尽管他们是华裔，但他们不能起中国名字。所有的印尼华人必须用印尼名字，否则没有印尼公民身份。

This law only applies to the ethnic Chinese.A person with Italian ancestry applying for an Indonesian citizenship is allowed to keep his Italian name.这条法律只对华人使用。一个祖先是意大利人的印尼人可以保留他的意大利名字而同时得到印尼公民身份。

A person born in Indonesia by a Mexican parentage is allowed to carry a Mexican name on his Indonesian citizenship form. A Russian is allowed to keep his Russian name as well. ONLY the Chinese are prohibited from having a Chinese name. The law specifically discriminates against the ethnic Chinese. Indonesian Chinese are NOT allowed to learn the Chinese language.

一个在印尼出生的墨西哥血统的人同样也可以墨西哥名字获得印尼国籍。俄罗斯血统的人也可以取俄罗斯名字。而唯独华人，不能取中文名字。法律还特别地歧视印尼华人，不准他们学习汉语

In Indonesia, a couple of from Nigeria can teach their children the Nigerian language. Anyone interested in learning French can enrolled into French courses offered in several Indonesian colleges and universities. But if a Chinese is caught learning the Chinese language in Indonesia, [s]he may be thrown into jail for breaking the anti-Chinese law.

在印尼，来自尼日利亚的夫妇可以教他们的孩子尼日利亚语。任何对法语感兴趣的人可以加入几所印尼大学和法语班。但如果华人在印尼学习汉语，他（她）们将因破坏反中文法

（anti-Chinese law）被抓进监狱。

A person caught TEACHING Chinese language in Indonesia may face the DEATH penalty if he is charged under the "subversive" act. In Indonesia, ONLY the Chinese-language is forbidden. Indonesian Chinese are not allowed to celebrate the Chinese New year.

一个人在印尼教汉语被抓住可能被判死罪，如果他被控犯有“颠覆破坏”罪。在印尼，只有汉语是被禁止的。印尼华人不能庆祝中国的春节！

In Indonesia, Muslim's holy days such as Ramadan are celebrated.In Indonesia, Christian's holy days like Christmas and Easter are celebrated.But in Indonesia, the Indonesian Chinese are prohibited from celebrating their Chinese New Year.In Indonesia, the Chinese are not allowed to work for the government.

在印尼，穆斯林的圣日，诸如Ramadan是可以庆祝的。基督教的圣日，譬如圣诞节和复活节都是可以庆祝的。但印尼的华人不能庆祝中国的新年。在印尼，华人没有权利在政府部门工作。

Persons from Brazilian or German heritage are not barred from working in the Indonesian government. But a ethnic Chinese who was born in Indonesia is not allowed to work in ANY Indonesian government department.

来自巴西或德国的印尼人不会被剥夺在政府部分工作的权利。但华人不得在任何印尼政府机构供职。

In Indonesia, the Chinese are discriminated.The ethnic Chinese are not permitted to have permanent land title. The same restriction does NOT apply to Caucasian from the United States, however.

在印尼，华人是受歧视的。印尼华人不能得到永久的土地权（permanent land title）。而同样的限制对来自美国的高加索人则无效。

The ethnic Chinese are prohibited from obtaining governmental scholarships. No such restriction for people of ANY OTHER ethnic background. The Indonesian ethnic Chinese minority is the ONLY group of people in Indonesia who are officially PERSECUTED by the Suharto-led regime.

印尼华人按规定不能获得政府的奖金。这项禁令对任何其他种族背景的人都不适用。印尼华人少数民族在印尼是唯一的被苏哈托时代政府迫害的社会群体。

A coup led by Suharto, back in the 1960's, resulted in a total defeat of PKI (Parti Komunis Indonesia, or the Indonesian Communist Party). Suharto and his army cracked down on members of the PKI, and more than 2 MILLION people died during the purging process.

60年代苏哈托发起的政变使得PKI（Parti Komunis Indonesia或印尼共产党）彻底失败。苏哈托和他的军队镇压了PKI成员。在清洗时期，有200万人失去了生命。

Among the dead were more than 300,000 (some estimates ran up to more than 500,000) INNOCENT ethnic Chinese who had nothing to do with neither Suharto, nor PKI, were MURDERED.死者中超过30万（也有人估计是高于50万）是无辜的印尼华人。他们既不是PKI分子，也不是苏哈托的追随者。

How possible do you think a group of victims will strongly supported the person [or regime] who stripped them the right to practice their own culture?

您认为在多大程度上，印尼华人会支持一个杀害他们同胞，践踏他们的民族文化的独裁者呢？

Mild-mannered people don't loot, plunder, rape or kill people, no matter how economically-challenged they are.The Indonesian Pribumis who looted, plundered, raped and

killed the chinese are definitely NOT mild-mannered.

温和的守规矩人不会抢劫，强暴，杀害他人，不管那些人在经济上多么有挑战性。而温和的守规矩的印尼的马来人所干的正是杀人，强奸、掳掠之类的勾当。

The Indonesia Malay attacked the Chinese not for the money, the attacked the Chinese because they [Pribumis] are RACISTS. The attacks are blatantly RACIALLY-MOTIVATED attacks.

印尼马来人攻击华人不是为了钱。他们是纯粹的种族主义者！野蛮的种族主义者。

Why is the World Press keep avoiding to report the TRUTH?

为什么国际新闻不报道真相？

Why are the journalists trying so hard to hide all those RACIST ATTACKS under the economic banner?

为什么记者们把种族主义的暴行掩盖在经济面纱之下？

What objective[s] the World Media like to achieve by misguiding us, their audiences?

国际新闻误导我们的动机是什么？

What are the possible reason[s] beneath this massive DIS-INFORMATION campaign?

在这种误导的下面隐藏着什么可能的原因呢？

We want the world to witness the TRUE PLIGHT of the Indonesian Chinese

我们希望全世界成为印尼华人的真实状况的见证人！

We want to spread this TRUTH to the world. Please help us.

我们希望真相能传遍四方，请帮助我们！

We do not ask for money, we don't ask for pity. What we ask, and hope you will do, is to HELP us.

我们不需要钱，不需要怜悯。我们需要“帮助”！

Help us by distributing this message, to everyone you know. We need to spread the TRUTH to as many people as we possibly can, we need to tell the world that the Indonesian Huaren are not the evil people the mass media would like you to believe.

帮助我们传播真相，让每个人知道。告诉全世界，印尼华人不是邪恶分子！

We also need your help to contact people in political offices. We urgently need outside pressures stop the save the lives of innocent ethnic Chinese in Indonesia. With only less than 4% of the total population, the ethnic Chinese in Indonesia can't possibly withstand the unrelenting onslaughts by the Indonesian Malay.

我们还需要您的帮助，跟政治力量取得联系。我们急迫地需要外界压力来保护印尼华人无辜的生命。在印尼仅占4%的人口没有能力保护自己抵挡住印尼马来人的杀戮。

In Rwanda, the Hutus massacred 500,000 Tutsis. In Indonesia, if the world do not step in, over 7 MILLION people may be butchered. This is the time we need as much outside pressure as we possibly can gather. We need the world's response to STOP the Indonesian Malays from committing even more heinous murders.

在卢旺达，Hutus人屠杀了50万Tutsis人。在印尼，如果国际社会不介入，700多万人将可能丧生！我们需要全世界的响应来制止印尼马来人的暴行。

Please call or fax this message to your local council persons, the mayor of your city, your state's

representative, national representative,parliamentarians or congressmen/women, ask them to voice their support PUBLICLY for the Indonesian Chinese, and ask them to put pressure on the Indonesian government in preventing more bloodshed from occurring.

请把上面的消息打电话或传真给当地政府，您所在城市的市长、议员、国会议员、参议员等等，请求他们公开支持印尼华人，对印尼政府施加压力，阻止更多的流血事件发生。

Our heartfelt thanks to each and everyone of you for your help.

我们衷心感谢每一个给予帮助的人。
