咩強制自我檢疫
形同虛設 #a #sham

明報英文 毛孟靜
//政府早前宣布,所有由大陸來港的人都要強制檢疫。原來,所謂強制並非真的強制(compulsory、mandatory),而係靠自律(self-discipline)。
事實是,抵埗之後即可以自行乘車離開,基本上去哪兒都沒問題。After arrival, you can take any transport to go home or practically any other destination, unguarded.
《明報》有這樣的相關報道:「有人明言不會遵守檢疫令,照常上班;另有夫婦返家途中到街市買菜,未有於兩小時限期內返抵住所。」Some made it clear that they wouldn’t comply with the quarantine order, and would go back to work as usual; there was also a couple who went shopping at a wet market on their way, failing to get home within the two-hour time limit.
有官員解釋:It’s quarantine, not isolation,是檢疫,不是隔離。如此說來,所謂強制檢疫(mandatory quarantine),說到底不過是自律隔離( self-disciplined isolation)罷了。也即是說,整個機制形同虛設:It's a sham mechanism.
Sham,a thing that is not what it is purported to be,並非如聲稱中真實的東西,一般會譯做虛幻,可作名詞或形容詞。另例:
* Hong Kong's pro-democracy protesters call the "one country, two system" promise a sham. 香港的民主抗爭者認為一國兩制承諾只屬虛幻。
視乎上文下理,用英文講形同虛設,另一些選擇是:
* It's a mere pretence. 不過是裝個樣子。
* It's a feigned setup. 這是一個騙局
* It exists in name only. 亦即等於中文的「有名無實」。
面對一場嚴重疫症,林鄭政府的取態給詬病為not preventive( 非防禦性),not even interactive,甚至不是互動的,而是純粹reactive、passive(被動的)。出事了,就去回應、籌措一下,惹來一些嚴厲批評。《彭博商業周刊》網站一篇評論Hong Kong Is Showing Symptoms of a Failed State 有這兩句話:
* A fragile state is usually defined by its inability to protect citizens, to provide basic services and by questions over the legitimacy of its government. 脆弱政權的一般定義是:未能保護公民、未能提供基本服務,以及管治合法性受到質疑。
* After an epidemic and months of poorly handled pro-democracy demonstrations, Hong Kong is ticking most of those boxes. 經過一場疫症及連月來處理民主抗爭的失誤,香港政府符合大部分條件。
這篇評論的附圖,見一家超市內的貨架都被一掃而空,文字說明道:It's not Kinshasa or Caracas. But it doesn't look much like a global financial centre either.這不是(剛果首都)金沙薩,也不是(委內瑞拉首都)加拉加斯。但看起來也不像世界金融中心(香港)。//
同時也有1部Youtube影片,追蹤數超過338萬的網紅Tina Yong,也在其Youtube影片中提到,Hey everyone! Alfred and I recently did our pre-wedding shoot in Japan. Originally I was intending for this vlog to be uploaded on my vlog channel but...

THAILAND IN YOUR HAND" APPS NOW AVAILABLE FOR FREE DOWNLOAD
Thailand, March 6, 2012 — TAT has launched a special webpage from which visitors can download apps for a wide range of smartphones to help them plan many different kinds of visits to Thailand, from honeymoons to studying martial arts and Thai culinary art.
A total of 19 apps are available for free download at http://mobile.tourismthailand.org for users of the iPhone, iPad, Android, BlackBerry and Nokia. They will significantly enhance the quality of the visitor experience by making it easy to get around and saving visitors' time and money searching for information.
The apps are presently available only in English, but a unique “Speak Thai” app offers help with basic translations in traditional and simplified Chinese, French, Japanese, and Russian.
TAT Governor Suraphon Svetasreni said, “With the TAT targeting more first-time visitors, these apps will go a long way towards helping travellers get around more comfortably without having to carry guidebooks. They can plan their journeys in advance, research their requirements and get assistance.
“All these facilities and services will help them focus on enjoying themselves, rather than wasting time, effort and money just gathering all the necessary information,” he added.
Altogether, the apps cover more than 10,000 topics in many areas; for example, medical tourism, Thai cooking classes and the sights and sounds of Chiang Mai and Phuket. One special app highlights just the “Top 50 Amazing Experiences in Thailand.”
Since smartphones became a global rage in 2011, the TAT has been studying and analyzing trends in their usage and popularity in terms of market penetration, ability to disseminate information and activities, build awareness and organise more targeted marketing activities for tourists and interested person worldwide.
A dedicated IT development team was set up to create these special tourism-related apps under the global marketing theme, “Amazing Thailand: Always Amazes You.” The applications are full of interesting facts, travel tips and destination details; all available for free.
