近日，一位在中國生活了近20年的意大利裔美國人馬意駿（Mario Cavolo）在社交媒體上撰寫題爲《各位，有點兒不對勁：對比美國2009年的H1N1病毒和中國2020年的冠狀病毒》的文章引起不少網友關注。
《華爾街日報》的評論文章標題爲：《中國是真正的東亞病夫》
發文當天，馬意駿注意到英國也效仿美國敦促本國公民離開中國，他連發數問質問這種政府行爲。當年的美國是否也遇到了相同待遇呢？沒有。
Today I noticed in the updates that following the United States Department of State policy suggesting US citizens leave China, the United Kingdom embassy just released the same recommendation to subjects of the kingdom.
今天（2月5日）我注意到，在美國國務院敦促美國公民離開中國之後，英國大使館也向本國公民發布了同樣的建議。
In 2009, did UK subjects in America get a notice from their kingdom to leave America? No.
2009年，在美國的英國人是否收到了來自祖國的撤離美國的通知？沒有。
Did the world suggest we isolate from America? Close the US borders!? No.
世界各國是否建議我們隔離美國？關閉美國邊境！？沒有。
Did Americans get xenophobically attacked and targeted by anti-American sentiments like the Chinese are experiencing now? Um, no.
美國人是否像現在的中國人一樣，成爲排外情緒攻擊的目標？沒有。
事實上，中國的迅速反應值得喝彩
馬意駿認爲，武漢政府沒有在第一時間把疫情防控做到位，這確實該批評，但中國政府的反應速度卻是世界上許多國家不能比的。
如果因爲地方政府的失職而否定整個國家的政治體系，就大錯特錯了。
Instead of looking at the will of an entire system of government acting faster than any other government on the planet could, we are one month later, still busy bashing a few local government officials in Wuhan who should have told us a couple weeks sooner.
我們不去看整個中國政府體系用強大意志力作出的快速反應（這反應比這地球上其他政府能做到的都要快），卻在一個月後，仍忙著抨擊幾個本該早些通報疫情的武漢地方政府官員。
And yes, that is true those local officials screwed up. And by the way, those officials are in deep trouble for it. Just like the recent Puerto Rican politicians who are in trouble when we learned they didn’t distribute hurricane emergency supplies that were sent to them to help during last year’s terrible hurricane. A disgrace.
沒錯，這些地方官員確實辦了壞事。順便說一句，這些官員正在被狠狠追責。就像最近被抨擊的波多黎各的政客們，人們發現他們在去年的飓風災難中，沒有分發緊急救援物資。這是一種恥辱。
Individual people screw up all the time and hopefully justice gets served later, but that’s not an indictment of an entire country’s government.
每個人都有犯錯的時候，但願正義終能得到伸張，但這並不代表整個國家政府都是錯的。
事實上，他認爲，世界應該爲中國前所未有的、大範圍的、積極的反應而喝彩。
The world should be applauding China’s unprecedented, broad, aggressive response.
作者親眼所見，本在繁忙春運、喜迎春節的中國，是如何在幾天之內迅速進入防疫狀態，各省市啓動重大公共衛生事件一級響應，十天內蓋起兩座醫院，從城市到農村，民衆自覺呆在家中隔離……
他說：
I am on the ground here in China watching with my own eyes and it is quite incredible by any measure.
我現在就在中國，親眼所見這一切，無論從哪方面來看，都令人難以置信。
It’s impossible not to marvel at China’s broad and aggressive domestic response directed by the provincial level governments to restrict movement, restrict transportation, and restrict business for a period of time combined with the voluntary dutiful cooperation of its 1.3 billion citizens who are in the majority quietly staying at home these weeks to let the virus pass.
不能不驚歎中國大範圍的積極響應，各省級政府在一段時間內限制人口流動、限制交通、限制經濟活動，加上13億公民自願且負責任的配合，他們大多數人這幾周都安靜地呆在家中，等待病毒的消退。
This model response is already being hailed by the international community as a remarkable unprecedented response setting a new standard in understanding what is possible for future outbreaks in whatever country they may occur.
這一教科書般的反應，已經在國際社會受到稱贊，他們認爲這種前所未有的非凡反應，爲未來任何一個可能暴發疫情的國家設定了一種新標准。
該停止了，這種惡毒的攻擊和抹黑
當中國人民努力打贏這場戰“疫”的時候，一些西方媒體卻在借助疫情煽動排華和恐華情緒。
德國《明鏡》周刊（Der Spiegel）在封面上赫然寫著“新型冠狀病毒，中國制造”。
Like I said, something’s not right with the way humanity is responding to what’s happening here.
就像我說的，人類對這裏所發生的事情的反應有些不對勁。
It needs to stop. This vicious, political, xenophobic racist attacks and smearing of all things on China needs to stop. It’s really not helping anyone in the political corridors of Washington nor is it doing anything to help the man on the street who is just concerned with taking care of his family.
該停止了。這種惡毒的、政治的、排外的種族主義攻擊和對中國的一切進行抹黑的行爲，該停止了。這無助于華盛頓政治走廊裏的任何人，也幫助不了路邊關心家人的普通人。
文章的最後，馬意駿說，疫情會過去，春天會到來，而對于奮力抗擊疫情的中國人，如果你說不出支持的話，就閉嘴。
The xenophobia needs to stop now. Whether in a couple of weeks or months later, this nasty Coronavirus will begin declining and the joy of Spring will arrive.
現在，仇外情緒該結束了。幾周或幾個月後，這可惡的冠狀病毒引發的疫情將會過去，春天的喜悅終將到來。
Between now and then if you don’t have anything good, anything supportive to say about China or Chinese people, how about you just keep your mouth shut.
從現在到那時，如果你對于中國或中國人說不出任何善意、支持的話語，那就閉嘴吧。
