这其实应该是两个月以前的事了,但还是有一些朋友找我询问到底是真是假。那位金老师还在近期视频里说过这事,金老师的语言风格是态度诚恳,名句不断,比如那个中国赢两次就被西方广为传扬。
金老师的视频如下
实际上这种翻译问题这段时间多如牛毛,但有的能说有的不能说,有的我实在忍不住写出来,但也发不出去,发出去了很快就被删了,比如之前那个过去时态。但现在就是这么一种情况,你只能各自找可信的渠道,要么直接阅读英文文章。
如这个西方富豪花25万去阿联酋打国药疫苗的事,最早是去年12月份的事。当时我看到就画了一个问号,一两个月后引起一些媒体的关注,比如英国的卫报,专门采访了推广KNIGHTSBRIDGE CIRCLE项目的旅游公司,是他们打出的去阿联酋疫苗旅游并打疫苗这个活动。
问题是该旅游公司上来就说,他们打出的广告是 “private appointments for the Pfizer vaccine”,(辉瑞疫苗的私人订制约会),原话是
Knightsbridge Circle, a “travel and lifestyle service” that charges members a £25,000 yearly fee, received widespread publicity and thousands of new membership inquiries last month when it claimed it could fly its members aged 65 and older to the Emirates for “private appointments for the Pfizer vaccine”, which was approved first by the UK in early December and by many other regulators, including in the US and the EU, since.(Knightsbridge Circle是一项“旅行和生活方式服务”,它向会员收取25,000英镑的年费,此服务在上个月(应该是一月份)受到广泛宣传和成千上万的新会员查询,当时它声称可以将65岁及65岁以上的会员飞往阿联酋进行“提供辉瑞疫苗的私人订制约会”。这一项目在12月初被英国和包括美国和欧盟在内的许多其他监管机构首先批准。(注,因为辉瑞是首个被西方药监机构通过的疫苗,但国药到现在为止都没有提供三期数据,根本没有被西方认可的可能性)
举手之劳谢谢
接着看,
But the Guardian checked the club’s claim with Pfizer, which said it had provided its vaccine only to the UAE government, not any private companies in the Emirates or anywhere else in the world. It said it had referred the club’s claims to its global security team for investigation.(但是,《卫报》随后向辉瑞核实了该俱乐部的服务,辉瑞公司称它仅向阿联酋政府提供疫苗,而不向阿联酋或世界其他任何地方的私人公司提供疫苗。辉瑞说,已经将该旅游俱乐部的服务转交给了其全球安全团队进行调查。)
这时该旅游公司怎么说呢?
Knightsbridge Circle subsequently clarified that the Pfizer vaccine was only available through the UAE government to members who were already Emirati residents – a total of five people on its rolls. “Members and clients who are residents in the UAE have received the Pfizer vaccine through [Knightsbridge’s] service,” said a spokesperson for the club.(Knightsbridge随后澄清说,只有通过阿联酋政府才能向已经是阿联酋居民的成员购买辉瑞疫苗---共有5人参加。旅游公司说:“那些阿联酋居民和顾客已经通过Knightsbridge的服务获得了辉瑞疫苗。”)
这其实就是废话了,因为阿联酋本来就对该国居民免费提供辉瑞疫苗,这个旅游公司的意思是在英国的阿联酋居民是通过他们到达的阿联酋而已。
那怎么又和国药疫苗扯上关系了呢?往下看,
The concierge club said it had struck a partnership with the UAE government to allow access to China’s Sinopharm vaccine, (该俱乐部说,它已经与阿联酋政府建立了伙伴关系,以允许使用中国的国药疫苗(从而完成旅游承诺)。)也就是说,之前打的广告里说,给去阿联酋的旅客提供辉瑞疫苗是噱头,在记者查证后马上改口说是只提供了五位---因为是英国的阿联酋居民,又由于辉瑞不提供私人公司疫苗,实际上打的是中国疫苗。

这种广告传到国内,竟然变成了英国富豪疯狂去阿联酋打国药疫苗了!到现在竟然也没人辟谣。
如果你经常拿这种误传的新闻给我看,我每一个都要说半天,怎么办呢,只能拉黑了之。
