Now this might not sound like much, but it did pay the curiosity of one of our viewers.

這樣聽起來可能好像沒怎樣，不過這的確引起了我們一位觀眾的好奇

Um, actually in fact we have a letter here, Charlie. From Emily, if I can get it out.

嗯，Charlie ，信在這裡。是來自 Emily 的，看我是不是能找到

Um, props.

嗯，在這

Um, Emily of Mormon writing: Dear Mansion, I'm confused.

摩門教的 Emily 寫到：親愛的 Mansion 實驗室，我很困惑

What's the difference between the Republic of China and the People's Republic of China?

中華民國跟中華人民共和國的差別到底在哪裡？

Your heart, love, Emily.

愛你的，Emily

You know what does that sound like, Michael?

你知道這聽起來是什麼嗎，Michael？

Sounds like a job for the news lab.

聽起來我們該來去新聞實驗室囉！

(Charlie and Michael going to the News Lab)

( Charlie 和 Michael 要去新聞實驗室囉！)

Once upon a time, there was the Republic of China, which was ruled by a group of people called the Nationalists.

從前從前，中華民國被一群叫國民黨的人統治著

Then, the communists came along and a massive war ensued, Leading to these guys fling to here.

然後共產黨來了並且開始了一場激烈的內戰，導致這群人只好漂流到這裡

The only part left of what was the Republic of China.

也就是中華民國唯一剩下的地方

And these guys running what they called, the People's Republic of China.

然後統治這裡的這群人就叫「中華人民共和國」

I hope I'm being clear.

我希望我有解釋得清楚

I'm sure Emily is very happy about that one.

我相信 Emily 一定會很喜歡的

Now we have another E-mail file via BlackBerry from HotChristie@gmail.com

現在我們收到一封從黑莓機發出的電子郵件，來自 [email protected]

She writes: So, how many Chinas are there? Your heart.

她寫：所以，到底有幾個中國？愛你們呦

Well, hot Christie, there is only one China.

好的，辣妹 Christie，只有一個中國

One China composed of two separate and completely different China.

一個中國但被兩個完全不同且分離的中國各自表述

The problem being that: China thinks it's China while China also think it's China.

問題是：中國認為它才是中國；同時中國也認為它才是中國

But decided that there are two Chinas which means there is no longer one China.

但既然這裡有兩個中國，就不可能只有一個中國

Decided that there is no longer one China will be a really slap in the faceto China and China.

既然不可能只有一個中國，這完全是打臉中國跟中國

You dig?

你懂了嗎？

I'll tell you we here from Lance of parrot, he write:

我們收到一封來自 Lance 的問題，他寫：

So, which China is actual China? Stop, your heart, stop.

所以，到底哪個中國才是中國？句點，愛你們喔，句點

Well, Lance, most countries recognize China as China, but some recognize China as China.

所以 Lance ，大部分的國家認為中國是中國，但有些認為中國是中國

Now, if you recognize China, then you can't officially talk to China.

所以情況是呢，如果你認同中國是中國，那你就不可以正式地跟中國對話

Now, China hates it when you talk to China, but China really hates it when you talk to China.

然而，中國很討厭你跟中國對話，但中國真的很討厭你跟中國對話

The interesting event, this week was that China actually spoke to China.

現在有趣的事情發生了，這個禮拜中國竟然自己跟中國對話了

Incredible!

不可思議！

Now Philip Karendale Skypes: So, let me get this straight, mainland China is China? Your heart.

我們收到 Philip Karendale 用 Skype 傳來的訊息：所以讓我弄清楚，中國大陸就是中國對吧？愛你們喔

In a way, Phil.

某種程度上，Phil

Most people call mainland China, the People's Republic of China, China.

大部分的人稱中國大陸，也就是中華人民共和國，為中國

While others believe that the Republic of China is China.

但也有些人相信中華民國才是中國

They also call it Chinese Taipei and Taiwan.

它們也可以叫做中華台北或是台灣

But China prefers Chinese Taipei and not Taiwan.

但中國偏好中華台北而不是台灣

Because Taiwan is hardly China, is it?

因為台灣很難說成中國，對吧？

At the very heart of it though, China and China both want to be China.

所以一切的問題根源在於：中國跟中國都想當中國

But you can only have one China, and that's...

但你只能夠有一個中國，而那就是 ...

China.

中國

And finally Gail of Popcorn says via carrier pigeon:

而最後 Gail 用信鴿傳來了訊息：

I'm sorry Charlie, I missed all that, could you repeat that for me? Your heart.

我很抱歉，Charlie，我剛剛沒聽清楚，你可以再說一次嗎？愛你們喔

Yes, how about you go fuck yourself?

好啊，去你的
