美國總統: 香港反照着中國的過去

“More than two decades ago, on a rainy night in 1997, British soldiers lowered the Union Flag and Chinese soldiers raised the Chinese flag in Hong Kong. The people of Hong Kong felt simultaneously proud of their Chinese heritage and their unique Hong Kong identity. The people of Hong Kong hoped that in the years and decades to come, China would increasingly come to resemble its most radiant and dynamic city. The rest of the world was electrified by a sense of optimism that Hong Kong was a glimpse into China’s future, not that Hong Kong would grow into a reflection of China’s past.” Donald Trump, 2020-5-30

中譯:

「廿多年前,1997年那個雨夜,英兵降下聯邦旗後,解放軍在香港升起中國的旗幟。香港人一方面為中華文明感到驕傲,一方面為香港的身份而自豪。香港人曾經冀望,隨年月過去,中國將會更像那個光芒四射和滿有活力的城市。世界他方曾幾何時,為香港可以為中國帶來亮麗的前景而樂觀,不是如今,香港反照着中國的過去。」(Victor Chan 譯)
