答疑:ENIGMABACHhttp://t1.g.hjfile.cn/listen/201203/20120321035039167493.mp3Have you heard of Joseph Kony? Chances are you have. An American group placed a video about him on the YouTube website in early March. Since then, people around the world have watched the video more than 80 million times.
"For 26 years Kony has been kidnapping children into his rebel group the LRA, turning the girls into sex slaves and the boys into child soldiers."
That is the voice of Jason Russell. He is with the American-based charity Invisible Children. It created the "Kony 2012" video to bring attention to Joseph Kony and his Lord's Resistance Army. They hope the video will lead to his capture before the end of the year.
Public reaction to the film has been mixed. Many people are praising its creators for bringing attention to the issue, just as many have criticized the work. They have questioned the video's trustworthiness and substance. Some have accused the creators of seeking financial gain. In Uganda, some people even rioted at recent showings of the film.
The video opens with the words "Nothing is more powerful than an idea whose time has come." But some say timing is one of the problems. Louisa Lombard is a graduate student in Duke University's Department of Cultural Anthropology. Ms. Lombard has studied conflict and policy in Africa. She says much of the information presented in the video is old.你听说过约瑟夫•科尼(Joseph Kony)吗?听我介绍一下吧。三月初,一家美国组织在YouTube网站上发布了一个有关他的视频,此后世界各地人们已经观看该视频8000多万次。
(来自KONY 2012视频的声音)“26年来,科尼一直在绑架儿童到他的反叛组织--上帝抵抗军中去,将女孩变为性奴隶,而男孩变为儿童兵。”
这是杰森•罗素(Jason Russell)的声音。他就职于总部位于美国的慈善机构Invisible Children。该机构制作了“科尼2012”视频,以引起公众对科尼及其上帝抵抗军的注意。他们希望这个视频能够促成科尼在年底前被捕。
公众对此视频反响不一。很多人称赞视频制作者引发了公众对这个问题的关注,而也有很多人对此提出了批评。他们纷纷质疑视频的可信度及其本质。有些人指责视频制作者追求经济收益。在乌干达,这段视频的放映甚至使一些人发动了暴乱。
视频开头说到 :“时机到来,理念就是最强大的力量。”但也有人说,时间的把握就是问题之一。路易莎•朗伯德(Louisa Lombard)是杜克大学文化人类学专业的研究生。朗伯德研究过非洲的冲突和政策。她说,该视频中呈现的大多信息早已过时。
