『And』留在武汉的美国外教:现在很庆幸当时没回美国( 二 )


But the United States is charging its citizens( $1,100) 7,700 yuan, to fly out of here and then get quarantine for two weeks 。
我不想这样浪费钱,我妈妈也觉得待在这边的公寓里,比跟许多人一起坐飞机要安全 。
I didn"t really want to waste my money on that. And my mom thought that I would be safer here in my apartment than on a plane with a lot of people 。
我就留在了这里,我也在尽量保持乐观的心态 。我后悔过没回家,但现在我很庆幸,因为我有机会跟许多人沟通,为大家提供真实、开放的信息 。
So I"m just here and I"m trying to be positive about everything. And I wish I had gone home, but I"m glad that I didn"t go home because I"ve been able to communicate with so many people and be a very real open news source for everybody 。
用抖音视频真实记录武汉
隔离第一天,我们就开始在抖音上发视频,因为我们想展示下真实的情况,然后这就成了我们传播正能量的渠道 。
We started making TikToks on the first day of the quarantine, because we wanted to exhibit what was actually happening. After that it"s become our way of being positive news 。

我们想展示出来,我们是怎么苦中求乐的 。
So we try to show people the best of the worst situation that we"re in 。
我们发的内容没有虚假,全都很真实,我本来就是很积极向上的人,我只想把这份正能量传递给全世界有类似处境的所有人 。
Nothing on there is really a lie. Everything"s pretty honest because I"m a pretty positive person anyways. And I just wanna spread that positivity to people all around the world who are dealing with the same thing 。
说起抖音,我其实一开始也没想到以这种形式发布消息,但现在我们在抖音上的收获最大,上面有很多积极的评论 。
As far as TikTok goes, that"s not the platform that I would have first thought to do for this kind of news, but it"s been one of the most beneficial ones. There"s a lot of positive comments on there 。
“我没有收政府的钱”
很多人说我是英雄,我觉得有点过奖了,但我也很感激 。
A lot of people are telling me that I"m a hero which I think is a little bit too far, but also I"m very gracious for that 。
当然也有人要我去死,说我发视频是收了政府的钱,都是宣传手段 。
But some people are saying that they wish I would die and that the government is paying me to make these videos and that it"s propaganda 。
我这次就借中国日报的平台说实话 。我没有收政府的钱,视频不是宣传手段,我也不会死,因为我比病毒强大,你们也是 。
And here I am on real China Daily news to tell you. No, I"m not being paid by the government. It"s not propaganda and I"m not gonna die because I"m stronger than this virus. And you are too 。
我只希望给孩子们做好榜样,因为我希望他们能为自己在乎的事大胆发声,以后也可以有自己的抖音账号,也会有人认真听他们的想法 。
I just care about being a good role model for my kids, because I want them to be able to speak up about the things that are important to them and maybe someday have their own TikTok channels where they can have people listening to the important things they have to say 。
