BBC News:馬航乘客家屬懸賞500萬美元尋內(nèi)幕

Now several families of those on board the Malaysian Airline's flight MH 370 which went missing three months ago on March 8th have launched a campaign to raise five million dollars for anyone who can resolve the mistery of the plane's disappearance. They plan to raise the money through Indiegogo, the crowd funding website which gathers money through contributions from the members of the public. The campaign is called Reward MH 370. The man behind it is Ethan Hunt a technology company chief. And I spoke to him in Hong Kong just before we recorded this podcast.

三個(gè)月以前，即3月8日，馬來西亞航班MH370失蹤?，F(xiàn)在一些乘客家屬發(fā)起集資動(dòng)員，懸賞500萬美元，來尋找能夠解開飛機(jī)失蹤之謎的人。他們準(zhǔn)備借助Indiegogo網(wǎng)站來籌資，這是一家通過公眾捐款來籌款的集資網(wǎng)站。乘客家屬發(fā)起的這項(xiàng)活動(dòng)名為“懸賞MH370”。該活動(dòng)的幕后策劃者是一家科技公司的老總伊森·亨特。錄制這期節(jié)目之前，我在香港采訪了他。

We believe that the search hasn't produced any results for three months and somewhere somebody knows the answers to what happened to the flight and possibly where the flight is. So what we want to do is raise the reward so that we can get those answers.

我們認(rèn)為3個(gè)月的搜救工作毫無結(jié)果，但是在某個(gè)地方的某些人應(yīng)該知道飛機(jī)到底怎么了以及這架飛機(jī)的下落。所以，我們要做的就是集資懸賞來尋求那些答案。

But what makes you so convinced that someone does have that information?

但是你為什么如此肯定有人知道相關(guān)信息?

I think that the target person that has the information is Edward Snowden or somebody who has links to a terrorist organization perhaps. And they would want that type of money to come forward. And you've been quite comfortable whoever you have to give that money to? You'll be happy handing the money over to them in exchange for the information that the families want?

我認(rèn)為了解情況的的人就是愛德華·斯諾登或者是和恐怖組織有關(guān)的人。他們可能會(huì)為了那筆錢而站出來告訴大家到底發(fā)生了什么。那么無論那人是誰，你都會(huì)很爽快地把錢給他們來換取乘客家屬想要的信息嗎?

I don't think that anybody would argue that providing we got the answers, the passengers were found and that travel in the future were safe again. I think there wouldn't be any argument abut that. And I have absolutely no problem with it.

我認(rèn)為大家對(duì)這一點(diǎn)毫不質(zhì)疑，只要我們可以得到答案，我們就可以找到乘客，這樣就使以后的旅行再次變得安全。我覺得不會(huì)有人質(zhì)疑這一點(diǎn)，我本身也絕對(duì)沒有問題。

Why have you personally decided to get involved? What's your connection with the people that you are now trying to help?

什么使你決定參與到這件事情中呢?你和你現(xiàn)在要幫助的人們有什么特別的關(guān)系呢?

I travel regularly myself. And I'm a concerned person. I'm concerned that air travel is not safe. I believe that the families deserve to have the love ones back and I believe the passengers deserve justice for the situation that's occurred.

我自己也定期出去旅游，而且我是一個(gè)很小心的人。這次事件讓我感到坐飛機(jī)不再安全。我認(rèn)為應(yīng)該讓乘客家屬心愛的人回到他們身邊。而且對(duì)于此次事件，乘客也應(yīng)該獲得公正的對(duì)待。

And how many of the families have you been in touch with? How many of them if you like do you represent?

你和多少家庭保持著聯(lián)系，你想代表多少家庭?

I have personal relationship with five of them. I've certainly been in touch with a lot of them. And there is several different organizations that they are a part of. Voice 370 is one of them. And I've made it clear to them what we are planning to do.

我和5個(gè)家庭保持著聯(lián)系，當(dāng)然我接觸過其中的很多家庭。他們加入了幾個(gè)不同的組織，其中就有Voice 370。我已經(jīng)向他們表明了我們計(jì)劃做的事。

Exactly where is the money going to come from? How is that gonna work?

這筆錢到底要從哪里來?怎么運(yùn)作呢?

We've put this to Indiegogo and we have their full support. And what will happen is that the campaign will kick off in about 40 minutes. And people, it will be like a normal crowd funding campaign, making their contribution that will assist us to get to our target of five million dollars for the reward. Ethan Hunt, the man behind Reward MH 370 with me from Hong Kong.

我們已經(jīng)把這個(gè)任務(wù)交給了Indiegogo 網(wǎng)站，我們得到了他們的全力支持。40分鐘后，籌資就正式開始了。和正常的集資活動(dòng)一樣，大家的捐款將會(huì)幫助我們籌集到500萬美元的獎(jiǎng)金。這就是我在香港對(duì)“懸賞MH 370”幕后策劃者伊森·亨特的采訪。
