  •   Outgoing U.S. Ambassador to China Gary Locke used his final speech in office Wednesday to urge Beijing to strengthen its rule of law and provide greater freedom of expression.
  • 即將離任的美國駐中國大使駱家輝星期三以大使身份發表最後一次講話,敦促北京加強法制,提供更多言論自由。

  • 駱家輝在北京對中國大學生發表演講時說,在很多情況下,中國只需要依照現行法律來保障基本人權。

  •   The 63-year-old Locke leaves Beijing Saturday. He has served as ambassador since 2011, filling one of America's most complicated diplomatic posts at a time of increased tension with Beijing.
  • 現年 63 歲的駱家輝將於星期六離開北京;他從 2011 年開始擔任駐華大使,這是美國最複雜的外交使命之一,當時美中兩國之間的緊張關係加劇。

  •   Many of Locke's comments Wednesday focused on U.S. concerns over China's intensifying crackdown on those who criticize the Communist Party.
  • 在星期三的演講中,駱家輝多次著重談到美國關注中國當局加緊鎮壓批評中共的人士。

  •   He also urged Beijing to provide "better and more equitable treatment" of foreign journalists, many of whom complain of interference or official retribution as result of their coverage.
  • 駱家輝還敦促北京為外國記者提供更好、更合理的待遇;很多外國記者抱怨說,他們由於自己的報導而受到干預或官方的報復。

  •   China has not responded to the comments, but usually dismisses such concerns as inappropriate interference in its internal affairs and says Washington should not be pushing its so-called Western style of governance on other countries.
  • 中國沒有對這些評論做出反應,但通常都將這類評論視為不正當地干涉中國內政,並聲稱華盛頓不應把所謂的 “西方管理模式” 強加給其他國家。
