China's spate of school violence

Lone madmen without guns

A pattern of senseless attacks in China's schools

May 12th 2010 | BEIJING | From The Economist print edition

      ALL month schools in China have been on what the state-controlled press calls a “red alert” for possible attacks on pupils by intruders. In one city police have orders to shoot perpetrators on sight. Yet a spate of mass killings and injuries by knife or hammer-wielding assailants has continued. To the government’s consternation, some Chinese have been wondering aloud whether the country’s repressive politics might be at least partly to blame.

In the latest reported incident, on May 12th, seven children were hacked to death at a kindergarten in the city of Hanzhong in the northern province of Shaanxi. Twenty others were injured. It was one of half a dozen such cases at schools across China in less than two months. Three attacks occurred on successive days in late April, when more than 50 children were injured. The deadliest killed eight children in the southern province of Fujian on March 23rd. The killer was executed on April 28th.

This has been embarrassing for a leadership fond of trumpeting its goal of a “harmonious society”. In 2004, two years after Hu Jintao, China’s president, took office, he and his colleagues called for better security at schools. But occasional attacks continued. Assailants were often said to be lone, deranged, men venting their frustrations on the weak. A report last year in the Lancet, a British medical journal, said that of 173m Chinese it estimated were suffering from mental illness, fewer than 10% had seen a mental-health professional. Knives are the weapons of choice in China, where firearms are hard to obtain.

Over the May Day break, officials ordered yet another boosting of school security. The Communist Party’s law-and-order chief, Zhou Yongkang, called it an “urgent political task”. When classes resumed after the holiday, police patrols were stepped up near schools. Some hired security guards and equipped themselves with pepper spray, nets and pronged poles. In Beijing, the authorities say that since the March 23rd attack they have prevented seven unspecified “incidents aimed at schools” with the arrest of ten suspects. On May 3rd police shot dead a man who took a child hostage in a residential area of the capital.

The recent violence has come at a bad time for the government, anxious as it is to project a positive image of China during the six-month World Expo in Shanghai, which began on May 1st. The authorities regard the expo as similar in importance to the Beijing Olympics of 2008.

Hours after the latest killings, news websites in China were still keeping the story off their front pages. Their reticence could reflect fears of copycat crimes, or simply the old habit of suppressing news during big events. During the Olympics, one provincial propaganda department ordered that negative reports be “strictly controlled” and that there must above all be no reports on “problems that give the Western media a pretext for launching attacks, such as issues concerning press freedom, air quality, food safety, democracy, religion and legal issues”.

But some online commentators in China have been less restrained. Han Han, one of the country’s most popular bloggers (and a huge irritant to the authorities), wrote that killing the weak was seen by the attackers as the most effective way of exacting revenge on a society “that has no way out”. He said that local governments should send the guards at official buildings to help protect schools, “because a government that can’t protect children doesn’t need so many people to protect itself”.

Even in the official media there has been the odd hint of dissent. A newspaper in the central province of Henan said that while the West had many NGOs that could help people suffering from mental distress, in China there were very few. This, it said, led to problems becoming bottled up and eventually erupting in violence. But if more NGOs are what is needed to relieve China’s social tensions, the prospects just now look bleak. One of the country’s most prominent NGO leaders, Wan Yanhai, has just fled to America to escape police harassment. His complaints are widely shared.

翻译真囧。。。。
所谓的好事不出门，坏事传千里。
2个月内5起类似事件，我们不禁要问，究竟怎么了！
4月28日到4月30日，连续三天，三起事件，一时间风声鹤唳，从中央到地方都高度重视起来，严抓校园安全。
我妈是小学教师，我听她说连续3起事件发生后，每天上学和放学时间，校门口都有2、3个便衣警察在巡视。平时，校外人士一律不准进入学校。
然而想不到，在各级部门都严抓校园安全的时候，在短短10多天之后，就在昨天，又有幼儿园伤人事件发生。校园、幼儿园安全何在！？
我们更想知道的是那些杀人、伤人者的动机何在？是什么让他们能对幼小的孩子下毒手？
前天刚看了《文涛拍案》讲述之前一些列事件的那期节目，我不禁想问，谁来保护孩子们的安全？

慕容飞羽

是否报道这个问题，《文涛拍案》里也有提到。。
报道的确会可能会导致模仿犯的产生，但是不报道也有问题啊。
4月30日的事件发生后，所有媒体都接到通知冷处理。然而，现在的网络资讯是十分发达的，没有各大媒体的报道，各种小道消息迅速弥漫开来，越传越邪乎，造成很大的恐慌。
没报道不见的行得通。
这个也是一个两难选择。

呵呵，机器翻译的水平肯定是没法比的，我是读原文的所以偷了个懒~

慕容飞羽

那个“三叉戟”应该翻译成警用钢叉

慕容飞羽

俺直接用构词法解的……what是警用钢叉？

    一种警察、安保人员使用的防爆武器，头部为U型（可以讲人抵住），有很长的握柄。。。

以及译者注那里不需要用颜色高亮咩？

关于韩寒的部分，就引述那两句，原文如此

作者：韩寒
泰兴幼儿园中的小孩也被人砍了，32人受伤，死亡情况不明。这个新闻因为离开上一次南平幼儿园袭击的新闻太近，我甚至一度误以为是同一个幼儿园。

在最近的变态凶手杀人事件中，他们都选择了幼儿园和小学，相信在很多想报复社会的人心中，去幼儿园小学杀人成为了一种时尚，因为在杀人过程中，你将遇到最少的抵抗，杀掉最多的人，造成民间最大的痛苦的恐慌，是最有效的报复社会手段。除了杨佳以外，几乎所有杀手都挑选了向弱者下手。这个社会没有出口，杀害更弱者成了他们唯一的出口。我建议把全国地方政丨府门卫间里的保安们抽调去保护幼儿园，孩子都保护不了的政丨府不需要那么多人保护。

这些杀人事件的产生很大原因是这个社会不公正，不公平。是的，让公平正义比太阳还要有光辉。但太阳不是每天都出。我们的阴天和黑夜是否稍微太多了一些？所以，提出让公平正义比太阳还要有光辉并不伟大，做到让太阳分分钟都挂在你头顶上才伟大。

在泰州幼儿园杀人事件中，新闻被控制了，这些孩子们生不逢时，死更不逢时。在相关部门的认识里，在这喜庆的气氛里，这事当属杂音。我们只知道，泰州幼儿园杀人事件中，受伤32人，政丨府和医院一再强调，无一死亡，但是坊间又传说，死了多个孩子。你说我应该相信谁呢？相信政丨府吧，那为什么他们禁止家长见到孩子呢？至今还封锁着医院和新闻，没有孩子的照片和视频，况且一个杀人用刀劈了32个人，结果一个没死，那他到底是在杀人还是在做手术呢，也太小心了。相信传闻吧，毕竟传闻都是喜欢往夸张了传的，我们无图无真相，也不能相信。于是我一搜索泰州，出现的新闻居然是——《泰州近日三喜临门》，日期是4月30日。

我只是非常的诧异，泰州政丨府通过了封丨锁消息，封锁医院，控制媒体，禁止探望，转移视线，等手段，居然成功的将人们对于杀手的愤怒转移到了自己身上，这是何苦。你以为他有什么目的，其实不是的，除了要配合世博会《和谐欢歌》以外，这只是惯性，是政丨府处理类似事件的习惯，是七步曲：吃饭喝酒到一半，出事了——隐瞒，隔离，撤媒体，发禁令，发通稿，赔钱，火化——继续吃饭喝酒。他们处理问题的手段不比凶手高尚多少，也难怪在网上看到有幼儿园挂出横幅——冤有头债有主，出门左转是政丨府。

短短的一个多月内，五起校园凶杀案件，短短的一周以内，就发生了两起，4月29日，泰州，4月30日，潍坊。我不想去探讨其中的社会原因，只想告诉大家，也就在这里，一个人冲进幼儿园砍了32个小孩是不能上社会新闻的，32个加起来才超过一百岁的孩子，你们被砍了，连个报纸都不给你上，因为在几百公里以外，召开了一个盛会，那里光烟花就放了上亿，同时在你们的家乡泰州，要召开国际旅游节，经贸洽谈会和华侨城开业典礼，正三喜临门。

也许在那些爷爷们眼里，你们，是扫兴的。

但是，我们可怜的孩子们，奶粉毒害的是你们，疫苗伤害的是你们，地震压死的是你们，被火烧死的是你们。就算是成人们的规则出了问题，被成人用刀报复的也是你们。我愿望真的像泰州政丨府说的一样，你们全部都只是受伤，无一死亡。年长者失职了，愿你们长大以后，不光要庇护你们自己的孩子，还要让这个社会庇护所有人的孩子

中国证券网5月13日报道 国务院总理温家宝今日在接受媒体采访时，对于近期多起针对儿童的袭击事件表示，不但要加强治安措施，同时还要解决造成问题的深层次的原因。

采访内容文字实录如下：

温家宝：政府也高度重视，对于几起凶杀案，造成的儿童的伤亡，心里感到非常难过，对于他们家庭出现的这种不幸，心里也感到非常的难过。我们除了采取强有力的治安措施之外，我们还要注意解决造成这些问题的一些深层次的原因，包括处理一些社会矛盾，化解纠纷，加强基层的调解作用，这些工作我们都在努力去做。我想一个和谐、安全的环境，不仅会给孩子们，而且应该给每一个人，我们一定能够做到这一点。




总理也发条头了，不过，现在在金融决战开打前夕，恐怕也只能先加派警力应急对付一下了，深层的问题，恐怕一时间是剪不断理还乱……

单纯的想这件事情是社会原因
不单纯的想实在是不敢想象
人生如此之多的不确定之事
活着的人以什么样的眼光看待死去的人
活着的人以什么样的态度活下去
应该思考

国外媒体总是喜欢不明真相的情况下报道啊= =
国外媒体对国内有的事情的了解程度估计和普通市民差不到哪里去吧- -甚至更低？
