你在害怕什么：病毒，死亡还是其他事？
你好呀，
Hi there,
为了能够触及更多的读者，发出更大的声音，让我看待世界的视角可以再多走一步，从这条推送开始，我尝试用双语写推送，并且也会在今天（2020.03.03）新建立的一个网址同步更新：

To reach more readers, speak in a louder voice, and make one step to promote my perspective of the world, I will try to write post in two languages, and also update in my new blog since 3rd March 2020, starting from this post: https://hermionegeo.wordpress.com
选用“你在害怕什么：病毒，死亡还是其他事”为标题，最近的触发点有两个:一是英格兰国家医疗服务体系将新冠病毒列为'最高危险等级’，二是因为新冠病毒引起的新加坡留学生在牛津街被辱骂并遭到殴打。
Choosing “What's your fear: virus, death or something else?" as the title is triggered by two news today: firstly, the NHS England categorised coronavirus as 'highest level of emergency'; secondly, a coronavirus hate attack victim Singapore student punched by thugs on Oxford street.
作为生活在伦敦的中国留学生，此时适合分享我的思考，摆明我的态度，否则可能我死了，因为不住在我脑子里其他人也不知道我想到过这些。既然我还能够用文字发声，那就要尽力触到笔力的边缘。
As an international student from China and live in London, it is time to share my thoughts and attitudes, otherwise no one is likely to know my ideas because they do not live in my brain. Since I choose to speak up with my words, I would like to try to write as clear as I can.
阻断病毒的传播，先从注意个人卫生习惯开始
To stop the spread, start by paying more attention to
personal hygiene habits
这一部分在我看来不需要多说，已经有很多宣传物料。我只想强调一点的是：洗手不仅是保护自己，也是一种保护自己关心的要见面的亲友的方式。我自己最近的习惯都是到了室内之后脱外套后再好好洗手。
I see no need to emphasise as there are a lot materials available. All I want to say is that: washing your hands not only protect you but also protect the family and friends you care when you spend time together. My recent habit is to take off coat and wash hands thoroughly when get indoors.
阻断病毒带来的歧视与犯罪，需要教育与科普
To stop the discrimination and crime, education is needed
我对于把种族歧视和新冠疫情引起的街头暴力犯罪行为绑定在一起持有稍显谨慎的态度。从一个教育行业从业者的角度来看，我会认为罪犯是对病毒有误解，所以将自身的恐慌扩大到了他们认为可能携带病毒的人身上。碍于这些诉诸暴力的人没有充分意识到在目前这个全球化的时代，长相并无法让人判断这个人的国籍与背景，他们才会给自己的情绪找到了错误的出口。
I am a bit cautious about connecting the racial discrimation with the street violence and crime. The coronavirus hate attack, from my perspective as someone whose speaciality is education, would argue that they have misconceptions of virus, their panic expands to people who they assume may be affected by the virus. There is a possiblity that these people who use the violence to let off their emotions are ill-informed of the fact: in this time and age, only paying attention to what a person look like cannot provide enough information to know where they are from.
当然不排除这些犯罪分子就是种族歧视者，只是多了一个理由施暴而已。可即使是种族歧视者，也并非天生如此。在一些刻板印象尚未形成之前，如果能够意识到地球上各个不同的国家与文化都是丰富多彩的，不是只有“我的文化”、“我的种族”才是最优秀的，那么是否也就会少一点歧视，多一些尊重与理解呢？
Of course it is likely that the hate attacks are carried by racist who need a new reason to go violent. But even someone is a racist now does not mean they are born in this way. Before the seterotype, it would be helpful to realise that the different cultures and countries are existing in our planet earth. When a person perceives his/her identity by not feeling superior due to "my culture" and "my race", would reduce discrimination, add some respect and understandings.
前几天和一个朋友聊天也提及病毒带来的恐慌，我们都觉得可怕的是自己不知道自己是否感染上了。而是如果是无症状感染者，感染了其他人之后会觉得很有负罪感。而对于自己来说，虽然不畏惧死亡，因为免不了这件事，但不明不白地永久消失是我们一致认为更害怕的，那就是死得毫无意义。
In the last few days, I was chatting with one of my friends about the panic caused by the virus, we both feel it is horrible to be not aware of whether I have caught the virus or not. If we are non-symptom carrier, we would feel very guilty because we may pass on the virus without intention. And coming back to oneself, we both said we are not afraid of death as it is inevitable, but disappear forever without any known reasons would be a more terrifying event, which is, die without any meaning.
因为是第一篇写的主题博客，后续还会更新，今晚就先到这里，留个问题：
Because this is the first blog, and I hope to continue writing, so here we are, the question for you to think:
我在读《基地》系列时看到了这样一个观点：暴力是无能者最后的手段。你在何种程度上同意这个观点呢？
In the Foundation by Isaac Asimov , there is a framed statement: Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent(P77). To what extent do you agree with this statement?
最好的祝福（身心健康）
Best wishes（ have a good health both physcially and mentally）
