亲身经历武汉封城的美国加州女孩梅根梦露，从隔离第一天就开始在抖音上分享武汉的生活日常，希望为全世界有类似处境的人传递正能量，却遭到了一些人的质疑。

“现在很庆幸当时没回美国!”她也借演讲的机会回应质疑：那些视频不是什么宣传(propaganda)!世界需要看看，中国为了抗击疫情都做了什么。

梅根梦露 坚守武汉的美籍教师“新时代大讲堂”英文演讲《其他国家都应该借鉴中国防控疫情的经验》(略有删节，中文为译文)

　　武汉是我去过最大的城市

我叫梅根梦露。我来到中国已经98天了，其中56天在隔离，其余42天我都可以自由行动。

My name is Megan Monroe. And I have been in China for 98 days. We've been quarantined for 56 of those days, and I’ve been free for 42 of those days.

我的公司叫Pro-Stage。我在这里是想给孩子们做好榜样，将来打算成为戏剧、舞蹈和公共演讲方面的教师。我们之前是与孩子一对一教学的，现在都是在线教学了。

I am part of a company called Pro-Stage. And I am over here so that I can be a good role model for kids and eventually become a theater, dance and public speech teacher.We got to work with the kids one on one and in person before. And now we've been working with students online.

我讲讲自己来做什么吧，去年10月左右，有人给我打电话，问我想不想去剧团做艺术顾问。我问在哪，她说在中国。我在加州生活，从没出过国，我就答应了，来到了中国。

I'm going to tell you about what I'm doing here. I got a phone call around October of last year, 2019, asking me if I wanted to be an artistic adviser for a theatre company. When I asked the location, she said China. And being in California and never have going abroad before, I said, okay, sure. And here I am.

武汉是我去过最大的城市，我的故乡只有30万人口，武汉则有1130万。

Wuhan is the biggest city that I have ever been in. My hometown had 300,000 people in it, and Wuhan is home to 11.3 million people.

武汉还有160多个湖泊，我住的公寓刚好在三角湖旁，就是三角形的湖。

There are over 160 lakes in Wuhan. And my apartment building just so happens to sit next to the Sanjiaohu, which is the triangle or Delta lake.

武汉的高楼大厦，我之前从没见过。我现在住在10层，公寓共30层，我之前的家都只有一层。这里住的公寓和家里的房子，比起来还是很不一样的。

I haven't seen buildings as big as the ones in Wuhan in my entire life. I currently live in a 30-story building on the 10th floor. And my entire life I lived in a single-story house. So it's a little bit different for me to be in an apartment than being in my home.

　　现在很庆幸当时没回美国

刚开始隔离的时候，我和北京的美国大使馆联系，他们过了几天打给我，说可以帮我回国，暂时离开这里。

In the beginning of the quarantine, I got in contact with the U.S. embassy that's located in Beijing. And they called me back after a few days, saying that they could help me with departure assistance, so that I could get out of here.

但是，我要向美国缴纳1100美元，就是7700元，才能坐飞机离开，再去那边隔离14天。

But the United States is charging its citizens( $1,100) 7,700 yuan, to fly out of here and then get quarantine for two weeks.

我不想这样浪费钱，我妈妈也觉得待在这边的公寓里，比跟许多人一起坐飞机要安全。

I didn't really want to waste my money on that. And my mom thought that I would be safer here in my apartment than on a plane with a lot of people.

我就留在了这里，我也在尽量保持乐观的心态。我后悔过没回家，但现在我很庆幸，因为我有机会跟许多人沟通，为大家提供真实、开放的信息。

So I'm just here and I'm trying to be positive about everything. And I wish I had gone home, but I'm glad that I didn't go home because I've been able to communicate with so many people and be a very real open news source for everybody.

　　用抖音视频真实记录武汉

隔离第一天，我们就开始在抖音上发视频, 因为我们想展示下真实的情况，然后这就成了我们传播正能量的渠道。

We started making TikToks on the first day of the quarantine, because we wanted to exhibit what was actually happening. After that it's become our way of being positive news.

我们想展示出来，我们是怎么苦中求乐的。

So we try to show people the best of the worst situation that we're in.

我们发的内容没有虚假，全都很真实，我本来就是很积极向上的人，我只想把这份正能量传递给全世界有类似处境的所有人。
