這篇文章節錄自加拿大總統Sperry的報紙
文章標題為[CP] The Great Presidential Lie
發表的日子是五天前

這位總統的報紙值得一看：Northern Standard
幾乎每天，都可以看到類似國際情勢分析的文章
讓自己的國民能夠瞭解這個世界發生的事
很辛苦，但他的感想卻很令人動容

這篇我翻得很爛
很多語義應該很不能反映原意
但因為這份感想很值得分享給大家看看！
所以就獻醜了！XDD

為了讓大家能理解原意
附上原文給大家看，看得懂英文就跳過我的翻譯吧！
也歡迎給我意見~~



大總統的謊言：

我是一個惡名昭彰的人...

在我成為總統之前以及(尤其是)在我總統的任內，許多的總統(譯按：應該是指前總統們！)告訴我許多事情，說總統這個職務不被感激、無趣煩悶、壓力大很沉重、耗費時間、沒用、對社交活動有害、而且會影響健康，當然還有其他種種！

『想成為一位總統！』如果你從一位當過總統的人口中聽到，那絕對是謊言！

事實上，這個工作並不是吃力不討好的，在eRepublik裡，還是有許多人相信我(絕不只是其中一個而已)。當然，不是所有人都會贊同你做的事情，不是所有人都會喜歡你，的確會有某一些人認為你是神經病、無能、或者是隻熊貓(譯按：熊貓怎麼了？QQ)，然而，要說在這三十天任期都被人厭惡，這絕對是誇大其詞。

我收到的其他批評非常豐富，每一件事都令人厭煩，尤其是當我在擔憂波波會不會把我們打翻過來，並且像廁紙一樣利用我們，更是難熬的時刻，相信我，這絕對沒有花束那般芬芳。但是，大多數時間，並不這麼痛苦，總統這份職務這是個美好的部分，讓這個我已經投入兩年的遊戲變得更加有趣。

也許其他人都把這些缺點看得比較重，因為他們通常有高標準或者認為自己的時間寶貴，他們習慣每天被說『u rox mai soxxorz』(譯按：我認為是You rox my sox, 0rz !，所以應該翻『你是我的最愛』)，而忽略了這個職位所給予的快樂。

但我想告訴每一味想當總統的人：我喜歡這份工作，我覺得很有趣，無需考慮，我會(試著)再當一次！( I think it's fun. I would (try) to do it again in a heartbeat.)當然，我做錯過一些事，也知道有些是不專業的，但這不及我曾經心理準備的『地獄般的一個月』。從個人、現實生活中享受的角度來看，我有過一次很棒的經歷。

加拿大，不要讓那些混蛋把你擊倒！如果你想成為總統，就試一下吧！如果你覺得你有總統該有的，就試一下吧！不要因為有些人不喜歡這個職位就讓你自己退卻！讓自己動起來，激發出一波高潮，最糟的情況也不過就選輸了，即便如此，這也只是個遊戲...



The Great Presidential Lie:

I am such a stinker.

Before I ran for President - and particularly while I was running, a lot of CPs told me all sorts of things. That this job is thankless, boring, stressful, time-consuming, useless, harmful to social lives, and bad for hygiene. Among other things.

Would-be Presidents, from a guy who's had the job, this is a lie.

This job is not thankless. eRep has plenty of those - trust me - and this ain't one of them. Sure, not every citizen will value what you do. Not everyone will like you. Certainly there will always be somebody who thinks you're insane/useless/a panda. But by and large, the idea that you will spend 30 days being hated is an exaggeration.

I've seen pieces of the other criticisms. Boring moments here or there, stressful times when I wondered if Poland would roll over and use us as Toilet Paper. And certainly I don't smell like a bouquet of flowers. But again, most of the time, this isn't true. Most of the time, I find this job very enjoyable, and a great way to be a part of a game I've been drawn to for 2 years.

Perhaps others see these downsides a little more because they're used to higher standards of cleanliness, or more personal time off. Perhaps they're used to being told "u rox mai soxxorz" more often each day than this job provides.

But what I want to impress upon any would-be Presidents, is that I like this job. I think it's fun. I would (try) to do it again in a heartbeat. And while I've certainly made mistakes, or done things I now know weren't "pro", this isn't nearly the 'month of hell' I was told to prepare myself for. From a personal, real-life-enjoyment standpoint, I've had a great time with this.

Illegitimi non carborundum, Canada. If you want to do this job, give it a go. If you think you have what it takes, try. Don't for a moment hold yourself back because some people didn't love it. Get your hands e-dirty, and give it a wave. Worst case scenario, you don't win. And even then, it's just a game.
