阿滴等人10日发起募资,在纽约时报刊登全版广告台湾人写给世界的一封信」,短短18小时的有限时间内,募得台币超过1027万元,同时中英文版本草稿曝光。然而,许多网友看完认为,文章的「重点」搞错了,直言中式思考模式长信无法打动美国人。

这篇「台湾给世界的公开信」,内文大致上提到,谭德塞及其团队在1、2月接连犯下关键错误,包括对特定国家疫情做出不实描述,且误称COVID-19(新冠肺炎不具人与人传播可能性,甚至指责这段时间来备受称赞的台湾。

不过文章曝光后,许多人认为,虽然初衷是好的,不过内容冗长、重点搞错,甚至有网友吐槽像抱怨文,「废话太多,不赶快讲重点在那绕弯铺陈,读者没耐心看」、「文章太长,标题很重要」、「广告不是作文比赛」、「根本流水帐,是参加散文比赛吗?拜托收拾一下情绪,想清楚该传达的重点再开始写」、「是给外国人看的,不是写家信」。

另外,有热心乡民在PTT发文直言,「既然大家花钱了,应该要让效益最大化!」首先,要弄清楚刊登后的目标对象是谁,再者目的为何,最后要如何引起注意,吸引文章被广泛阅读。

对此,他也条理清晰地说明,「刊登在美国报纸,最大阅读者是美国人,不是谭德赛。而最重要目的是让世界知道台湾想要帮忙,也正在帮忙,使得台湾有机会进入WHO。另外,回应谭德赛的内容,跟美国人的利益是否有关?美国人为何要关心这件事?3秒钟内我们会判断这篇文章是否应花时间往下阅读,要确认开头有没有重点、是否吸引人?或者有其他表现方法?」

网友指出,「中式思考模式的长信真的无法打动美国人。就转换角度,如果今天奈及利亚国家的国民集资在台湾报纸刊登长篇文章,你会为了什么把长文读完?而且里面提及我们对奈及利亚的帮助真的很不妥,帮助是人道救助,不是拿来邀功换赏,拿来说嘴,会让原本帮助的本意蒙尘。」

不过这篇公开信还在草稿阶段,阿滴表示,这则新闻稿后续会尽力参考各方意见调整,若各方意见有相左,希望大家互相体谅与理解,同时提到团队的希望,「透过一系列的宣传,能跨越我们曾共同经历过的委屈,向世界宣告我们愿意做出的贡献。」

以下为「台湾给世界的公开信」中英文草稿:

世界卫生组织秘书长 谭德塞 先生,

你在看这篇文章的时候,世界上有数千万人,以生命和自由为代价,与疫情相抗之时, 很遗憾的,WHO 在您的带领下,并没有阻止错误资讯的流传。

您和 WHO 其他官员,在一月、二月接连犯下关键的错误,包括对特定国家疫情做出不实描述,甚至误称 COVID-19 不具人与人传播的可能性。在四月九号,您在公开场合以严厉的口吻,指责数十家国际媒体所盛赞防疫典范–台湾,我们的国家。

您称,在过去三个月,台湾对您发起攻击。但事实上,台湾是您家乡伙伴。在衣索比亚,台湾提供医疗团、水资源、妇女与儿童权益、粮食安全等协助,台湾人曾为来自衣索比亚的学生募款医治,台湾企业甚至认养了上万名衣索比亚孩童,希望衣索比亚跟台湾可以携手合作,有更好的未来。

当我们与您的国家站在一起,您对我们国家却是以相反的态度。您指责台湾组织网路攻击,持续三个月,而忽略了台湾在十二月底就向 WHO 提出关于疫情的警告

台湾在一月就展开各种形式的创新防疫措施,如今成为纽西兰、美国等国家官员的参考典范。我们相信我们可以提供世界需要的帮助,即使 WHO 连台湾以任何形式与会的权利都不给,我们仍主动向全世界贡献。

如果您有看新闻,我们在满足自己民众的需求后,刚向全球捐赠一千万个(确实可用的)口罩,并准备提供下一批。

世界对您和您服务的组织是极为困惑不解的,台湾也包括在内。或许在疫情的抑制上慢了一步,但若您能坚持传达真相,就能停下各种不实资讯的扩张。

请停止欺压向世界伸出援手的台湾,以及所有其他弱势者,面对世界各国对于特定国家隐匿疫情的质疑,WHO应该扮演公正的裁决。

请认真看待台湾吧。台湾是可靠的帮手,台湾人正在帮助世界上每一个共享人权与价值的朋友。在过去几十年,台湾是被忽略、压迫、排除的一员,多年来,我们在歧视与惨痛教训之中成长茁壮,包含 17 年前在台湾蔓延的 SARS 疫情。

台湾不是一个大国,但依然站起,依然为世界尽一份心力。 请让我们帮忙,在疫情面前,伸出援手的我们,没有被排除在国际组织之外的任何理由全人类对抗这场世纪之疫,世界和台湾,需要一起同行。

Taiwan can help. Taiwan is helping.

To Mr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of the World Health Organization,

As you are reading this, with tens of millions of people around the world fighting the pandemic at the cost of their lives and freedom, it is regrettable that the WHO, under your leadership, has not stopped the flow of misinformation.

You and other WHO officials, in January and February, made a succession of critical mistakes, including your erroneous descriptions of China’s containing of the outbreak and your misdeclaration of COVID-19’s low possibility of human-to-human transmission. On April 9, you made public remarks with a scathing tone, attacking Taiwan, our country, a success story fighting coronavirus.

You claimed that in the past three months, Taiwan has been attacking you. But the truth is, Taiwan is a partner of your hometown, Ethiopia, where Taiwan provides medical missions, water resources, and continued support for women and children's rights and food security. Taiwanese have raised money for students from Ethiopia to receive medical treatment, and Taiwanese businesses have even sponsored tens of thousands of children in Ethiopia, hoping that Ethiopia and Taiwan can work together for a better future.

While we have been standing with your country, you chose to adopt an opposite attitude towards our country. You accused Taiwan of organizing a cyberattack that lasted three months, yet you ignored the warnings Taiwan sent to the WHO about the outbreak as early as in late December 2019.

Taiwan launched various forms of innovative preventive measures in January and now serves as a good reference for officials in countries including New Zealand and the United States. We believe we can provide the help the world needs, and even though the WHO has not even given Taiwan the right to participate in any way, we have taken the initiative to contribute to the world.

If you've been watching the news, we've just donated 10 million (actually usable) masks to the world, after meeting the needs of our own people. And we are ready to deliver the next batch.

The world is extremely confused about you and the organization you serve, and Taiwan is as confused. Perhaps, the organization is rather slow in suppressing the pandemic, but if you can insist on communicating the truth, you can stop the proliferation of disinformation.

Please stop oppressing Taiwan, which is reaching out to the world, and all other vulnerable people. The WHO should play the role of a fair judge in the face of the world's doubts about China’s untruthful report of the domestic developments of COVID-19.

Please take Taiwan seriously. Taiwan is a reliable helper and the Taiwanese people are helping every friend worldwide who values human rights and shares the same values as we do. Over the past few decades, Taiwan has been part of the neglect, oppression and exclusion, and over the years, we have grown and thrived amidst discrimination and painful lessons, including the SARS epidemic that spread in Taiwan 17 years ago.

Taiwan is not a big country, but it still stands tall and does its part for the world. Please let us help, in the face of the pandemic. There is no reason for us, who are lending a helping hand, to be excluded from international organizations. As all mankind is fighting against this pandemic of the century, the world and Taiwan need to stand strong on the battlefield together.

Taiwan can help. Taiwan is helping.
