殿堂級國際「通勝」《The Economist》曲得黎好Mean
《The Economist》點會漏咗評論兩會同國安法呢？不過作為國際版通勝，講晒「報導」國安法、無GDP、去到戰狼、香港去到台灣。Mean得黎曲，曲得黎有啲坦白，係需要大家自己參透。
//The move is unprecedented but not completely unexpected. //
（咁樣立法肯定係突破慣例，但又唔係估唔唔佢地會咁）
//The government normally uses a GDP target to broadcast its intentions for the economy...Were China to declare a high target for the second half, that might have been unrealistic given the global turmoil. In the end, it abandoned the target altogether, perhaps to be resumed next year.//
（從來政府都習慣用GDP目標去吹奏經濟發展，不過如果勉強定下半年嘅目標，加埋國際多事之秋，根本就不切實際。結果咁放棄吹奏囉，可能或者下年有返呢。）
結尾就勁喇：
//And as weak as China’s economy is now, it is in better shape than that of much of the world thanks to its success in containing the pandemic. China’s leaders are behaving as if they are in a position of strength. The political hierarchy, always rigid in a Leninist system, looked even starker than normal: the nearly 3,000 delegates who filed into the Great Hall of the People all donned face masks, but the Politburo members and parliamentary executives, sitting in two neat rows centre-stage, were bare-faced.//
（依家國家經濟唔好嘅時候，最好就係包裝自己係國際抗疫英雄，而啲領袖就用做到自己好威武強勢咁。要做到好似前蘇聯列寧政治系統咁嚴謹，比平時更加shape醒！三千個代表戴住口罩，而啲政府領導就坐個整整齊齊，全部都無表情好嚴肅黑晒面咁。）
//Abroad, China’s diplomats have turned into “Wolf Warriors” in response to any criticism. And the country has appeared to use trade bans to punish the likes of Australia, which called for an independent inquiry into the origins of the coronavirus in China. The leadership also seems determined to bend Hong Kong to its will. Many Hong Kongers worry that the resolution to be adopted at this NPC will formally spell the end of their liberties, steadily eroded by China since it reclaimed control of the city in 1997. //
（對外方面呢，外交人員就已經變身「戰狼」，對抗任何批評，然後懲罰要調查疫情來源嘅澳洲。而領導們要堅定咁立志去扭曲香港嘅意志，所以好多Hong Kongers會覺得呢個決定，係等如詛咒香港嘅自由，好穩定咁侵蝕呢個地方嘅控制權。）
//And observers were chilled to note that in his ritualistic affirmation of the importance of “reunification” with Taiwan, Mr Li omitted the usual qualifier, “peaceful”. It is far from a threat of invasion, but rather a clear indication that, just as it is tightening the screws on Hong Kong, so it has no intention of easing pressure on Taiwan.//
（而國際明眼人反而對於長期行禮如儀嘅「統一」台灣嘅部份，不禁抽咗口涼氣。因為阿李生好明顯漏咗平時必有嘅「和平」（"Peace"）呢個字。即係由「和平統一」，變咗「統一」，如果聯想到「入侵」就會過份解讀（點解用invasion呢，明明係國家一部份喎？）。不過從對付香港嘅手段呢睇，佢地一定唔會停止繼續向台灣施壓囉。）
