采访部分
Reporter: Good afternoon. Ms. Crowley, we truly appreciate your support. Can you share why are you attending the April 25th event today?
记者：下午好。克劳利女士，非常感谢您的支持。您能分享一下今天参加4月25日活动的原因吗？
Ms. Crowley: A friend of ours asked us to come, and I don’t understand how anyone could be against truth. And clearly this persecution should not stand, and more people around the world need to know about it. Because Falun Gong is a beautiful practice, and it just bases itself on truth, compassion, and forbearance. It should not be persecuted. It should not be eliminated. The oppression of it should be eliminated.
克劳利女士：是我的一位朋友邀请我来参加的。我不明白怎么会有人反对真相，很显然，这场迫害是不能容忍的，全世界更多的人需要了解它。因为法轮功是一种美好的修炼，它只是建立在真、善、忍的基础上，它不应该受到迫害，它不应该被消灭。应该消灭对它的压迫。
Reporter: Do you have any message for the Falun Gong practitioners who are persecuted in China for the last 25 years?
记者：您对过去25年来在中国遭受迫害的法轮功学员有什么要说的吗？
Ms. Crowley: Stay strong, and help will be yours. Any way that we can help, we should. Everyone should help them, with their voices, and however they can.
克劳利女士：坚强起来，就会有人来帮助你们。只要我们能做到的，我们就应该给予帮助。每个人都应该帮助他们，用自己的声音，用自己力所能及的方式。
Reporter: How many years have you speak out for the Chinese Falun Gong practitioners?
记者：您为中国的法轮功学员发声有多少年了？
Ms. Crowley: I’ve only known well about it for about four years, and as long as I’ve known about it, I’ve been telling people about it. So about four years now.
克劳利女士：我清楚地知道这件事只有四年左右，只要我知道这件事，我就会告诉别人。所以大概有四年了。
Reporter: There are more than 400 million Chinese people quitting CCP now. And more than four million international people signed the petition of the end CCP campaign. How do you think about this?
记者：现在有四亿多中国人退出中国共产党。有四百多万国际人士在结束中共运动的请愿书上签名。您对此怎么看？
Ms. Crowley: I signed the petition myself three years ago.
克劳利女士：三年前我就签名了。
Reporter: What do you think the international community can do to bring the awareness of the persecution and call for stop the persecution?
记者：您认为国际社会可以做些什么来提高人们对迫害的认识并呼吁停止迫害？
Ms. Crowley: I think that the international community would turn its awareness if they understood intimately what the persecutions were like. They understand in what we would call broad strokes. They understand it’s not liked. But they don’t understand on a close level what the persecution is like. I think if they were led to believe… or led to know, then the international community would stand up and help you. And I think that that’s what has to happen. More information must get out, however it can.
克劳利女士：我认为，如果国际社会能够深入了解迫害是什么样的，他们就会意识到这一点。现在他们的认识只是一种的笼统的理解，他们知道这样不好，但他们并不深入了解迫害是什么样的。我认为，如果让他们相信……或者让他们知道，那么国际社会就会站出来帮助你们。我认为这就是必须要发生的事情。无论如何，必须让更多的信息传播出去。
Reporter: Do you have something to say to the Chinese people who are persecuted by the CCP, not only Falun Gong practitioners?
记者：您有什么话要对受中共迫害的中国人说吗？不仅仅是法轮功学员。
Ms. Crowley: It’s like a schoolyard bully. When you stand up to the bully enough times, the bully goes away. The ancient traditions and practices in China go back thousands and thousands of years. Communism is only 75 years old. It is a young brat. They have to learn how to tame the brat.
克劳利女士：就像校园里的恶霸，当你站出来反抗的次数足够多时，恶霸就会消失。中国的古老传统和习俗可以追溯到几千年前，而共产主义只有75年的历史，它是一个年轻的毛头小子，他们必须学会如何驯服这个孩子。
Reporter: Thank you. Thank you so much, Mrs. Crowley. Thank you. Appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you.
记者：谢谢，十分感谢您克劳利女士，谢谢。
