我想大家可能听说了奥运圣火传递过程中的一路荆棘。今天在伦敦圣火甚至差点被抢被
灭。然而,很多美国人不了解情况,我的一位美国同事甚至以为中国人都憎恨北京奥运
,她说她曾经读到过一篇什么文章说这个的。我想,现在是时候让美国人知道我们是支
持奥运的。我们为在中国举办奥运会感到骄傲。奥运会象征和平,象征希望,象征世界
大同各民族亲如一家。奥运会不应该和政治搅和在一起。
现在我们能做的最简单的,就是在我们的车上贴上奥运的标志。这样我们的车到哪里,
人们就看到知道海外中国人是支持奥运,为中国骄傲的。尽管大多时候我们中国人很沉
默,但当中国需要我们的时候,我们会在这儿。当我们在路上看到另一辆车上的奥运标
志时,我们心里会觉得温暖我们又多一个战友。当路上有越来越多的车上有中国奥运标
志的时候,这也是我们中国人展示自己力量的时候。中国人团结起来,就再也不能被忽
视了。
自己DIY做一个标志贴在车上是很容易的。我自己一个下午做了不少。把这份email附件
的两个图片打印下来。用透明胶带覆盖使之可以防水,然后用透明胶带粘到您的车上,
这就做好了。
或者您可以从很多网站和本地店里定做。在google 上搜索 “bumper stickers” 您能
找到很多这样的店。单价应该在10美元以下。
如果您认同我的观点,请让更多的人知道。如果有组织能够出面定做和发放标志贴就更
好了。有更多人支持参与,我们才会更强大。而这次支持奥运,也是我们在美中国人展
示我们力量和影响的时候。或者至少,当人们意识到这儿中国人不少,我们的声音也能
更引起重视啊!
Simply put a sticker on your car to support Beijing Olympics
This is the least we can do for our country now. I guess we all heard about
the news that a lot of protests are on the way of Olympic torch relay. Today
in London the torch flame almost got distinguished. I remember I talked
with an America co-worker before about Beijing Olympics. However, she
thought Chinese people didn\'t want Beijing to host Olympics and she had read
an article about this. Today I just want to say that we, Chinese overseas,
should do something to show our support. Olympics stand for peace, hope, and
people of all races being together like a family. Olympics should not be
messed with politics.
The simplest thing we can do now is just to put a Beijing Olympic logo on
our cars. So wherever we go, people can see that we Chinese overseas
actually support Beijing Olympics and are proud of our country. We might be
silent most of the time, but when our country needs us, we are here for her.
When we see another car on the road with an Olympic logo, we know we have
one more comrade. When there are more and more cars with Olympic logos, we
are demonstrating our strength. We Chinese cannot be ignored any more.
To get a bumper sticker is easy. I have made quite a lot this afternoon by
myself. Just print out the 2 figures attached to this email. Then use
transparent tape to cover the paper to make it water-proof. Then attach it
on your bumper with transparent tape. You are done. If you want one from me,
please just let me know. I live in Cary, NC.
Alternatively, you can order custom bumper stickers from many websites and
local stores. Just google “bumper stickers” you can find a lot. The price
for each should be less than $10.
If you like this idea, please tell your friends. And I do hope our Chinese
organizations can do something in ordering and distributing these stickers.
The more support we get, the stronger we will be. This is also a good
opportunity for us to demonstrate our strength and influence. Or at least,
when they see there is a large population of Chinese here, our voice gets a
better chance to be listened to.
