新台灣新聞週刊 - 蔣女士，中國領導人的寡婦，105歲死亡


(disillusion)的過程。台灣的統派媒體和政客只顧吹噓蔣宋美齡如何受到美國人

愛戴，而隱藏美國人後來極端厭惡蔣宋美齡的事實，真是夠了。

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.



Although Madame Chiang developed a stellar image with the American
public, President 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."



「她可以把民主談得很漂亮，但是她不知道如何生活在民主政治裡」羅斯福女士
事後說。

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.



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.



Madame Chiang went out shopping in her limousine one afternoon, and
did not return home by evening.

在上海時，那天蔣女士如常地坐著她的大型加長Limousine上街購物...(這段講到
她和毒販頭子杜月笙的恩怨)

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.

蔣女士很快的在華府引起風潮，她在國會強有力和熱情的演說，引起了如雷的掌
聲，她然後橫越整個國家，出現在麥迪遜花園廣場和好萊塢Bowl。



這只是國民政府正迅速的走向自我毀滅，逐漸腐敗的小警訊。


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.



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.



"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."

蔣女士說： 「我不會在向美國人要什麼了，要不是你們愛我們，要不就是你們的
心已背離了我們。」

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，她公開的將美國政治比喻成「無恥的粗鄙無文」。美國多年來對蔣家
這樣大方的支持，竟然換得這樣的評價，這激怒了杜魯門。

"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 SÄao Paolo and some right here in New York."






--------------------------
"They're thieves, every damn one of them," Mr. Truman said
杜魯門：「他們是賊，她們一家都是賊。」

很多時候 要找到資料 就需要對的關鍵字。
我google的能力顯然還有努力的空間。orz

很顯然中國黨從以前就在翻譯外媒時搞鬼了，幫我們先「過濾」了媒體訊息。

不要被中文騙了，島國正名運動:
越南是排中。  不用大陸正名用中國。
臺灣人建立自己的政權，是為了脫離KMT的殖民政府。跟中國無關。
一個中國政策是指國際上，中國已經從ROC被PRC取代 不是指臺灣是中國的。
臺灣的法律，保障所有人，不論是新移民，或是舊住民。
要有臺灣共識-民主 自由 人權 法治 關懷弱勢 永續經營
