杜鲁门总统：蒋介石一家都是贼！ 这篇是纽约时报在蒋宋美龄过世时， 花了相当大的篇幅在说一些台湾人所不知的蒋家历史 (跟教科书上的内容可是相差甚远XD) Madame Chiang Kai-shek, a Power in Husband's China and Abroad, Dies at 105 By SETH FAISON October 25, 2003, Saturday http://www.nytimes.com/2003/10/24/international/asia/24CHIANG.html?pagewanted=1&hp 标题：蒋女士，105，中国领导人的寡妇，死亡 Yet historians have documented the murderous path that Chiang Kai-shek led in his efforts to win, then keep, and ultimately lose power. It also became clear in later years that the Chiang family had pocketed hundreds of millions of dollars of American aid intended for the war. 但是历史学家们纪录了蒋介石以残杀手腕，赢取，保有，最终失去权力的过程。 後来几年，事情变得明朗化，蒋氏家庭A了好几亿用来支援中国抗日和打共产党 战争的美援。 ...... Although Madame Chiang developed a stellar image with the American public, Presimdent Franklin D. Roosevelt and other leaders became disillusioned with her and her husband's despotic and corrupt practices. Eleanor Roosevelt was shocked at Madame Chiang's answer when asked at a dinner at the White House how the Chinese Government would handle a strike by coal miners. Madame Chiang silently drew a sharp fingernail across her neck. "She can talk beautifully about democracy," Mrs. Roosevelt said later. "But she does not know how to live democracy." 虽然蒋女士在美国的公众舆论里有一种明星般的形象，法兰克福‧罗斯福总统和其它领袖 们，对她和她丈夫专制和腐败的作为感到幻灭。Eleanor罗斯福女士在一场白 宫晚餐中，当问到蒋女士中国政府要如何处理煤矿工人罢工问题的时感到惊恐：蒋女士不 发一语，用尖锐的指甲在她的脖子前比了一比。 「她可以把民主谈得很漂亮，但是她不知道如何生活在民主政治里」罗斯福女士事後说。 ...... By the end of the war, the loyalty of Nationalist officials melted away as the Government grew corrupt and fiscally traitorous, printing money so aggressively that the Chinese currency fell to an exchange rate of several million yuan to the dollar. Many Nationalist soldiers were reduced to begging for food because they went unpaid, yet American diplomats discovered that military supplies sent from the United States to China sometimes appeared on the black market soon after arrival. 战争结束前夕，国民政府的官员们对政府的忠诚已消失殆尽。政府愈来愈贪婪， 甚至在财政上叛国，贪得无厌的印钞票，使得中国对美金的汇率跌到只剩好几百万分之一。 许多国民政府的军队因没有薪水而被迫乞讨，但是美国外交官员们发现， 从美国送去中国的军事补给，有时在一抵达中国就出现在黑市上。 ...... Even at the busiest times of war, Madame Chiang often left her husband and disappeared into seclusion in New York for months at a time. The Chiang camp was too secretive to deny rumors about marital troubles, but Madame Chiang's retreats may also have been caused by a debilitating skin condition. 即使再战争最紧张的时刻，蒋女士也经常离开她的丈夫， 忽然消失在纽约几个月，蒋帮因为太神秘而无能反驳有关他们婚姻的谣言， 但是蒋女士的自动消失，或许也肇因於她日益恶化的皮肤状况。 ...... Madame Chiang went out shopping in her limousine one afternoon, and did not return home by evening. 在上海时，那天蒋女士如常地坐着她的大型加长Limousine上街购物... (这段讲到她和毒贩头子杜月笙的恩怨) ..... Madame Chiang made a splash in Washington soon afterward. She spoke forcefully and passionately to Congress, winning a roaring ovation. She then traveled across the country, appearing at Madison Square Garden and at the Hollywood Bowl. But she earned the enmity of American G.I.'s when she returned to China's wartime capital, Chungking, with several suitcases, one of which plopped open to reveal luxurious cosmetics, lingerie and fancy groceries. It was a small sign of the growing corruption within the Nationalists that would speed their undoing. 蒋女士很快的在华府引起风潮，她在国会强有力和热情的演说，引起了如雷的掌声， 她然後横越整个国家，出现在麦迪逊花园广场和好莱屋Bowl。 但是她同时却引起了美国军人对她的厌恶，尤其是她回到战时的首都重庆， 带着许多箱的皮箱，其中一个撑开来，露出了里面奢华的化妆品，私人衣物*[0m 和时髦昂贵的日用品。 *[31;1m这只是国民政府正迅速的走向自我毁灭，逐渐腐败的小警讯。 *[0m ...... Other American officials in China also warned against the vast amounts of graft among Nationalists. More than $3 billion was appropriated to China during the war, and most of it was transmitted through T.V. Soong, who as China's foreign minister was based in Washington. It later became apparent that the Soong family suffered vicious infighting over the purloined funds. 其他在中国的美国官员也对国民政府偷鸡摸狗的腐败行径发出警告。 美国在战时，支援中国超过三十亿美元，但是大多数都是宋子文经手， 宋是中国住在华府的财政首长。後来事实显示，宋家为了分赃这些A来的 美援，搞得家庭很不愉快。 ...... Madame Chiang traveled to Washington again in November 1948 to plead for emergency aid for the war against the Communists. Yet Congress had recently assigned another $1 billion to China, and President Truman was impatient with the Chiangs and what had become an apparently hopeless effort to shore up the Nationalist Government. Madame Chiang never returned to China. 蒋女士在1948年十月到华府来要钱打共产党，但是美国国会才通过对中国的*[0m 十亿援助，此时楚门 (注：教科书翻译为「杜鲁门」) 总统对蒋家夫妇已经 非常没有耐心，给蒋家钱对於支持国民民政府根本没有一点帮助。 蒋女士从此没有再回到中国。 "I can ask the American people for nothing more," she said. "It is either in your hearts to love us, or your hearts have been turned from us." 蒋女士说： 「我不会在向美国人要什麽了，要不是你们爱我们，要不就是你们的心已背离 了我们。」 In her frustration, she publicly likened American politics to 'clodhopping boorishness." Coming after years of generous American support, that irritated Truman. 挫折之下，她公开的将美国政治比喻成「无耻的粗鄙无文」。美国多年来对 蒋家这样大方的支持，竟然换得这样的评价，这激怒了楚门。 "They're thieves, every damn one of them," Mr. Truman said later, referring to Nationalist leaders. "They stole $750 million out of the billions that we sent to Chiang. They stole it, and it's invested in real estate down in SAao Paolo and some right here in New York." 「他们是贼，她们每一个人都是贼」，楚门指的是国民政府的领导人， 「他们从我们送给蒋政府的上十亿美金里，偷取了将近七亿五千万美金。 他们偷了这笔钱，而且将这笔钱投资在巴西的圣保罗，以及就在这里， 纽约的房地产。」 译者：Fine Tea ========================================= 注1.XX家族在美国早就是有名的贪污集团。 有传闻说某蒋是因为在中国太过贪污腐败所以才导致失去政权， (由上面内容也可以印证) 不过这段历史是绝对不会出现在被窜改过的历史教科书中。 注2.罗斯福夫人对蒋宋美龄的印象是出现在她的回忆录中提到的， 当时罗斯福夫人正对美国当时一位劳工团体领袖大伤脑筋， 正好遇到蒋宋美龄来访，宴客中，罗斯福夫人就顺口提起说如果这类人物在中国， 你们会如何处理，後续内容就如上所形容的，罗斯福夫人後来回忆起说，实在对 蒋宋美龄那双纤纤玉手所摆出的动作印象深刻。 --
