Over 130,000 users have signed a petition demanding the US investigate a woman they call a suspect in the 1994 poisoning incident.
A number of other petitions have since been posted by Chinese users, on topics ranging from pollution to tofu.
One petition was more tongue-in-cheek, asking the US government to set the official taste of tofu as sweet - an apparent reference to a debate in China over which flavour of tofu is best, while another asked the US to send troops to "liberate Chinese people".
超過13萬名用戶在請愿書上簽名要求美國政府調(diào)查1994年中毒案中一名女子,這些人稱該名女子是嫌疑犯。
此后華人用戶發(fā)布了多條請愿,話題從污染到豆腐。
其中的一則請愿更加無厘頭,要求美國政府將豆腐腦的官方味道定為甜味——這顯然是與中國的一場辯論有關(guān),即哪種味道的豆腐最好。還有一則請愿要求美國派部隊“解放中國人民”。
【講解】
“請愿”的英文表達是petition。文中出現(xiàn)的petition均作為名詞使用,意為“請愿書”, 如a petition signed by 130,000 people(13萬人簽名的請愿書)。 petition作為及物動詞,常用于結(jié)構(gòu)petition sb.(to do sth.),意為“向某人請愿(做某事)”,如petition the President(向總統(tǒng)請愿),petition the government to reconsider its decision(請求政府重新考慮其決定)。petition也作不及物動詞,如petition for divorce(申請離婚)。petitioner意為“請愿者”。tongue-in-cheek意思是“不認真的,半開玩笑的”。
