连先生：
您好。
我曾经教过的一个美国本科生现在在中国工作，他出于自己的观察和思考写下了这些建议，希望我能让更多的中国青年看到。我把它逐字逐句翻译成了中文放在了自己的博客上，但很希望借助您的影响让更多的人看到它，我们中国的青年太需要和别人交流了。
敬礼
都是骗银地

于他自己在中国的所见所闻所感，这位美国青年写道："近来发生的一切并不能带给中国尊敬或荣耀。相反地，在外人眼里，这些行为使中国看上去既不开化又粗鲁
无礼（uncivilized and
brutish）。我想帮助我的中国朋友，尤其是那些旅居海外的人，帮助他们学习如何恰当的处理西方的政治争议，这样他们就能更好的让外人了解他们的祖
国，修补中国的国际形象。。。衷心祝愿北京奥运会成功！"
在建议开始之前，他说"我有些担心我所写的东西有点儿'训导'的味道"（ I'm a little concerned that what I wrote might seem patronizing. ）
下面就是他的详细建议，共五段十八条：
一、如果你看到西方媒体的反华失实报道：
1. 给该节目编辑写一封有礼貌的信，指出问题所在，用逻辑来支撑你的观点。（要文明的体面的表达你的观点，给编辑写信是个好办法 ---而且你的信可以被免费发表出来，让更多人看到）
DO
write a polite letter to the editor to point out the problem, giving a
logical argument to support your position. （Letters to the editor are a
respectable, civilized way to express your opinion—and you can get it
published for free）
2. 如果某些照片或视频片段是错误的或具误导性的，自己制作一段冷静的、有信息含量的视频解释为什么那些东西是错的。（人们愿意观看冷静理性的视频并从中学习）
DO
make a calm, informative video that explains why a photograph or media
clip is wrong or misleading. （People are willing to listen to and learn
from calm, reasonable videos）
3. 不要写怒气冲冲的、丧失理性的充满了个人攻击和共产主义政-治魔咒的抗议信。（如果你的信怒气冲冲，人们不会尊重你的观点。人身攻击时歇斯底里的表现，会被置之不理。共产话语的特点一目了然，如果人们认为你只是简单的重复政府的宣传的话，没人会搭理你）
DON'T
write an angry, irrational protest letter with an argument based upon
ad hominem attacks and Communist political mantras.（If you write an
angry letter, your opinion will not be respected. Ad hominem attacks
(irrelevant criticism of a person's character) will be rejected as
desperate. Communist language is very easy to spot, and people will
disregard you if they think you are simply repeating government
propaganda.）
4.
不要制作怒气冲冲毫无逻辑的视频，目的就想告诉西方观众他们是白痴。（如果一个人试图通过侮辱你的方式纠正你，你一般很难接受，尤其这种纠正还毫无逻辑可
言，这段YOUTUBE上的视频就是绝佳的反面教材，http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9QNKB34cJo。它不止侮
辱了观众，还大肆宣扬一些毫无根据和逻辑的论断，比如CIA现在还在支持打来拉马。）
DON'T make a video that
makes angry, illogical statements and tells the Western viewer he is an
idiot. （It is difficult to accept correction from a person who insults
you, especially if he does it illogically. This video on YouTube is a
perfect example of what NOT to do:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9QNKB34cJo. It insults the viewer and
makes unsupported and illogical claims, such as saying the CIA still
provides support to the Dalai Lama.）
5. 对那些进行了不实报道的媒体，一不要呼吁禁止，二不要暴力攻击。（有一点很重要，西方媒体并不受政府掌控，所以不要太把它们的错误和偏见当回事儿。保护言-论-自-由同样要保护那些错误和不公正的言论，为使我们免受政府暴政之害，记住这一点很重要）
DON'T
call for bans or violent attacks against publications or broadcasters
who make unfair statements. （It is very important to remember that
since Western media are not controlled by the government, their errors
and biases should not be taken so seriously. Freedom of speech even
covers speech that is unfair or wrong; this is an important protection
against government tyranny.）
二. 如果一个外国人和你在藏藏问题上意见不一致：
6、尊重人们不同的文化，知道他的政治观点和道德观念与你不同。（举个例子，美国人通常对各种"独-立"运动都抱积极态度，因为他们认为今天美国的好日子完全归功于美国的独-立。还有，别国的人通常对政府抱有更多的怀疑，尤其是对中国中央政-府这样的极-权-政府）
DO
respect the fact that the person's culture is different, and that he
views political and moral issues differently. （For example,Americans
often have a positive view of "independence" movements because they
think of all the good things that came from American independence.
Also, people from some countries are more suspicious of government,
especially authoritarian governments like the central government of
China）
7、请记住他没有长在中国，所以他接触的是关于藏藏的不同信息，其中的某些比你在中国得到的更准确。（在学习藏藏体验藏藏文化方面，中国人的优势在于你们有更多机会，而外国人的优势在于他们可以不受中国政府的宣传、审查和欺骗的干扰）
DO
realize that since he didn't grow up in China, he has access to
different information about Tibet, some of which is more accurate than
what you learned in China. （Chinese people have the advantage of having
better opportunities to study and experience Tibet. Foreigners have the
advantage of learning about Tibet without the interference of Chinese
government propaganda, censorship, and deceit.）
8、与之友好的辩论，晓之以实动之以理。（可以争论，不要感情用事，最好是你们都能从中学习）
DO
have a friendly debate based on facts and logic.（Have a little debate.
Don't get emotional. Hopefully you will both learn something.）
9、不要直斥别人所知的所有都是错的。（他对藏藏所知的一点一滴未必都是错的，善意的纠正比直斥别人无知更有礼貌）
DO
have a friendly debate based on facts and logic. （The person is
probably not wrong about everything regarding Tibet, and it is more
polite to gently correct than to tell him that he is ignorant.）
10、当你手头没有证据时，就别把话说绝。（"藏藏过去是、现在是永远是中国的一部分"就是一个不完整的判断。对于藏藏与中国的联系你必须提供有说服力的历史证据）
DON'T
make absolute statements that you cannot readily support.（"Tibet was,
is and always will be a part of China" is not a complete argument. You
must provide convincing historical evidence of the ties between Tibet
and China.）
