Hi, this message is going out to the Google group. I'd like to send the following message out to everybody on our Green Breathing email list, but I need help translating it into Chinese.
上次我请求翻译的帮忙,有三个人都做好了 -- 抱歉!
Last time I asked for help translating, three different people did it -- oops! So, this time, I'm using this Google group email list to ask for help. If you're available, and can translate it (I need it right away!), please send a message back saying "I'll do it!" and that way, I won't be wasting anybody's valuable time.
谢谢,这儿有我想发的邮件:
====================================
Hello,
First I'd like to express my deepest sympathies for the terrible tragedy that happened in Sichuan province last Monday. It is truly heartrending to read the news and see the images coming from that region. The unimaginable suffering there is something that should give us all a reason for reflection about the terrible fragility of life.
It's my conviction, though, that the fight against the scourge of smoking should continue, even in the present circumstances. Keep in mind how many people smoking kills, and how horribly they die. Smoking, of course, is not as dramatic as an earthquake, and the news doesn't show the victims of cigarettes dying slowly of lung cancer, but that doesn't mean that they deserve our help and care any less. To put it in perspective, in the week since the earthquake, about 23,000 Chinese people have died from cigarettes. Of those, about 3000 were non-smokers, who were killed by second-hand smoke. This same number of people are killed, every week of every year.
The main campus Green Breathing will have one, and possibly two events coming up in the near future.
The first is tentative, and is another lecture / English salon at the Jiageng building. We have not firmly decided that this will take place, but we are hopeful. If it does, it will be next Sunday evening. This time, I hope we can focus more on: 1, how to help our friends and loved ones to quit smoking, and 2, how to promote a more meaningful smoke-free campus.
The second is an event to mark the World No Tobacco Day, on May 31st (two weeks from today, see http://www.who.int/mediacentre/events/annual/wntd/en/index.html or http://www.who.int/tobacco/communications/events/wntd/en/index.html). We would like to solicit everybody's help in thinking of ideas for activities that can be held on that day. We would also very much appreciate it if you could volunteer, and help us to find other volunteers.
In addition, I'd like to draw your attention to several new posts on our website, http://www.greenbreathing.com/. We are trying to get better at updating the website to let everybody know what is going on.

我的翻译版本：
大家好，
首先我想要对上周一发生在四川省的惨痛悲剧表示我最深切的同情。当读到来自地震发生地区的新闻，或者看到来自地震发生地区的图片时，我实在感到揪心。这次难以想象的悲惨遭遇理应让我们每个人对生命的脆弱展开反思。
即使在这种情况下，我仍坚信我们反对吸烟的努力应该继续。我们应该记住有多少人被香烟杀死，而他们又是死得多惨的。当然，吸烟并不像地震一样会带来戏剧性的破坏，并且新闻并没有展示香烟受害者是如何因为肺癌而缓慢地死去，但这并不意味着吸烟问题就不值得我们的关注和斗争了。为了更好地说明吸烟的严重性，我举一个例子：在地震以来的这一周内，大约有23000个中国人因为香烟而死去。在他们中，大约有3000人并不吸烟的，他们因为二手烟的危害而死去。每一年的每一周里，都有这么多的人被香烟夺取了宝贵的生命！
在最近的一段时间内，厦大校本部的绿色呼吸协会将会举行一次到两次的活动。
第一活动是试探性的，是在嘉庚楼举办的讲座/英语沙龙。我们还未最终确定这个活动将会举行，但我们对此充满信心。如果此次活动如期举行，时间将会是下周日的晚上。这次，我希望我们在以下问题上集中注意力:1.如何帮助我们的朋友和我们所爱的人戒烟；2.如何创建一个更具意义的无烟校园。
第二项则是关于世界无烟日的庆祝活动。两周以后的5月31日将是世界无烟日。（可参见http://www.who.int/mediacentre/events/annual/wntd/en/index.html或者http://www.who.int/tobacco/communications/events/wntd/en/index.html）我们恳请每个人都帮忙想想哪天都能举行那些活动。如果你能成为志愿者，或者帮助我们组织别的志愿者参与我们的活动，我们将万分感谢。
另外，我还想要提醒你关于我们的网站（http://www.greenbreathing.com/.）上的一些更新内容。我们正在尽自己的最大努力将网站的更新工作做得更好，以便让每个人都及时了解到最新进展。如果你已使用了在线阅读器，你可以通过这个地址订阅博客摘要：http://greenbreathing.org/?feed=rss2.
