【大紀元3月15日訊】大陸把“反分裂法”翻譯成“Anti-Secession Law”,這樣的譯法很多人都會覺得怪怪的，事實上也确實如此。
關于secession的含義和解釋，本人專門查閱了微軟的Encata百科全書、网上最大的“維基百科全書”、以及梁實秋“遠東英漢大辭典”。。。結論都是一樣的，那就是：
secession這個詞如果首字母大寫的話，就只能是一個專有名詞，解釋是“1860-1861年美國南方11州退出聯邦的行動”—-只有在小寫時，它才具備“脫离或退出某一机构、組織”的意思。
但“反分裂法”的英文本偏偏在標題和開篇中使用了Anti-Secession Law這樣的英文譯法，顯然這只能作“反對美國南方州脫离聯邦的法律”理解—-說白了就是中國人去狗拿耗子多管美國人歷史上的閑事。
其實即使secession這個詞首字母小寫，正确的英文解釋也只能是the act of withdrawing from an organization, union, or political entity（根据維基百科全書，上面還舉了不少secession的具體例子），顯然它并不适用于用來描述“台灣同中國分离”這樣的特殊情況，因為畢竟“中國”這個概念從來就不是什么“organization, union, or political entity”，除了大陸并不承認、台灣有權單方面修改的“中華民國憲法”，台灣更不可能和“中國”存在什么事實存在并被台灣此前認可的政治契約合同關系。
所以說白了，大陸把“反分裂”正式翻譯成Anti-Secession，把“分裂”翻譯成secession，根本是出于對secession這個英文詞匯的錯誤理解和荒謬套用。
—-除了對“反分裂”的明顯翻譯錯誤之外，明眼人還不難注意到這份“反分裂法”英文版本和中文版本的兩處有趣差別：
第一處：英文版沒有犯中文版圍繞“中國”和“國家”的常識性邏輯錯誤，因為英文版中的“中國”使用的是China這個詞，而“國家”則一律翻譯成State。由于在英文中Country（國家）和State（政權）的明顯不同定義，本人指出的中文版“中國”和“國家”概念模糊不清的漏洞至少沒有在英文版中重复—-雖然這樣刻意區分China和State，卻又等于在事實上承認了“One China, two states”這一中共自己多次拒絕的政治概念。
第二處：相比中文版“國家得采取非和平方式”那個語蔫不詳，基本應當作“可以”、“許可”解釋的“得”字而言，“反分裂法”英文版在這里明确地使用了一個Shall字，也就是“應該”“必須”的意思，這顯然要比中文版口气重很多，怪不得美日台會對此強烈反應了。
顯然，第一處的中英文版本差別主要是因為中文自身“國家”語義的含糊所致。。。但第二處中英文版本的顯然不同就很值得人們重視了，因為這明顯出于故意。
本人認為這反映了中共新領導層既想利用“反分裂法”警告美台、多少提前划出動武紅線；卻又實在不愿意自己給自己套上“到時候必須動武”政治枷鎖的兩難心態—-既然要對“台獨勢力”有所警告又希望美國不要誤判局勢，所以英文版就非得把話說死不可；但
既然對內中共卻完全不想因此承擔“武力反分裂”的天大責任和義務，那么其將來作為司法解釋基礎的中文版本就顯然必須含糊其辭、留有余地，万不可使用“應當、必須”這樣到時候中共自己也無法回避的限定詞。
“反分裂法”中英文版本的明顯不同，再次暴露了“反分裂法”的內在法理和邏輯不足，尤其是中共“反分裂立法”的對外政治恐嚇、對內不承擔風險色厲內荏實質。
