中国人民的朋友阿
，也是困难户阿~~~~那就互帮互助 ，共同前进

西方媒体发个实事求是的文章，舆论压力还真大。可见西方民众的思维方式已经远远落后于我们。呵呵，也许这是好事！？
感谢 Ali Ettefagh

不太懂，有翻译的就好了。

（试着翻译一下，个人的理解）Independent Tibet Would Mean More Suffering
zd意味着更多的灾难
The Current Discussion: Protests over the Olympic torch relay have led to a crackdown in Tibet. Is Tibetan independence a lost cause? If not, what should its supporters do to win it?
当前需探讨的是：奥运圣火传递中的抗议活动将导致藏独被镇压。zd已经失去诱因了吗？如果不是，为什么它的支持者无法取得胜利。

Mixing Olympics sports and short-term political issues is a toxic and self-defeating cocktail. Sports, especially championship events like the Olympics and the World Cup, are about contact between people of different countries on commonly agreed rules -- f staying away from politics, race, religion and the short-term aims of politicians and their diktat. Sports aim for friendships, brotherhood and a decent cultural exchange of athletes with simple ambitions, long-term plans and years of training. These athletes are from small towns with modest backgrounds, with little exposure to the rest of the world or opaque political agitations in foreign lands, trade deficit frustrations, sub-prime disorders, oil and gas, NATO or Plato.
把奥林匹克运动和短期政治问题想混淆的做法如同调制一杯有毒的弄巧成拙的鸡尾酒。体育运动，尤其是象奥运会和世界杯这样的赛事，是在一个共同的规则下把不同国家的人们联系在一起-它超越政治、种族、宗教以及政治家的眼前利益和其他命令之上。体育的目标是单纯的友谊、合作以及选手之间正当的文化、长期计划和年度训练计划的交流。这些没有什么背景的选手来自普通的城市，对外国不透明的政治、贸易逆差、社会秩序、北约或柏拉图关心甚少。

第一段主要是说奥运和政治无关。
第二段主要是说西藏问题是中国内政，因为西藏和共和国政府协定并同意成为中国一部分并在1980年取得自治权，以求保留其文化特性和发展方式。西藏境内心境竣工的铁路工程建设在海拔4500米（飞机巡航高度的一般）的高原上，连通了西藏与国内其它省市。而独立后的西藏是否可以负担起这样的投资？
第三段主要是说西藏没有真正形成的自治，因为是否自治的考量标准是要看日常经济，而不是文化根源，宗教习俗和意识形态。而事实上如果冷静的根据现代标准衡量，西藏无法解决人口温饱问题，因为西藏自然条件恶劣--海拔高和夏季短，不利于农业耕种。所以旅游业是西藏的生活来源之一，不管是否独立（这里的逻辑貌似有点跳，大概是反驳dl说汉人发展旅游业违背藏人的意志）

等下继续。。。网页翻来翻去的有点眼花。。。

The topic of Tibet and China is essentially a domestic issue in China. Many forget that the Tibetan (religious) leadership signed a treaty with the People’s Republic of China agreeing to be part of that country. Tibet gained autonomy from Beijing since the 1980s to preserve its cultural identity as well as its own path of development. The latest railway development into Tibet, a unique piece of engineering at elevations of more than 4500 meters from sea level (about half the cruising altitude of airplanes), has connected Lhasa to the rest of the country. Could an independent Tibet afford such investment?

西藏和中国的问题本质上是中国自己的事。很多人忽略了一个事实，西藏宗教领导曾和中华人民共和国政府签署条约，承认西藏是中国的一部分。西藏获取从北京的自治权，从20世纪80年代开始保存它的文化认同并且发展它自己的道路。
最近通道西藏的铁路，唯一一个海拔4500米以上的工程，把拉萨和国家的其他部分联系到一起。zd能提供这样的投资吗？

－－－－－那接下去我就去翻译那边跟帖的评论好了，呵呵~

The Tibet region has taken no visible steps to build on its autonomy, for the fact is that autonomy and independence is first about daily economic realities, not about cultural roots, religious practice or ideology. An independence movement ought to be examined with a cool head as Tibet is not even able to feed its population to a modern standard. At very high elevations and with a short summer season, Tibet has no prospects for meaningful agricultural production—an important consideration for any country. So tourism is and will be a source of subsistence, whether Tibet is an autonomous region or an independent country.

西藏地区从没采取过有效的独立步骤，事实上，独立首先是日常经济方面的，不仅仅是文化根源、宗教活动和意识形态。一个独立的政府应该冷静的认识到西藏不可能把他们人民带想现代化--这对任何一个国家都非常重要。如果想真正的自治或独立，旅游业将是远是西藏的唯一的收入来源，

Macedonia, Slovakia, Moldova and East Timor all argued stark cultural factors to create tiny nation-states. Kosovo is the latest aspirant in that league and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus has been waiting for more than thirty years to be recognized by other countries (although it occupies one-third of a small island whilst the other two-thirds has experienced a four-fold jump in its per capita GDP.)
马其顿、斯洛伐克、摩尔多瓦和东帝汶都出于纯文化因素创造微小的国家 ，土耳其和北塞浦路斯为得到其他国家的承认等待了三十年。

Are any of these dreamer nations are better off in this post-modern world than they were a generation ago? Put differently, if yours is a harsh, landlocked country that has seen precious little foreign investment since China's opening to the world, is it more promising to be a part of China or to oppose it? And what have all those Hollywood personalities done to create jobs or build better infrastructure, either in an autonomous Tibet or for Tibetan exiles?

这些充满梦想的民族在他们的后现代社会里比他们的先辈们生活的好吗？可以肯定的不同是，一个荒芜的内陆土地，从开放的中国得到大批宝贵的外国投资，它作为这个国家的一部分有希望还是独立有希望。所有这些好莱坞式的创造性的工作和基础建设，是为自治的西藏还是那些被放逐的藏人？
