法国至今不肯归还从中国靠炮舰掠夺的无数珍贵文物1742年,并未完全亲历中国的英国海军上将安森在其所著《环球旅行记》一书中,以“日不落帝国”式的傲慢,形容中国是“卑劣、堕落、偷盗、恐怖、暴政”。可惜,这样的词汇不仅恰恰形容英国这个疯狂掠夺扩张的殖民帝国行径恰如其分,用来形容法国这个侵略扩张者也非常适合。 France has so far refused to return countless precious cultural relics plundered by gunboats from China in 1742 and did not fully experience China’s British Admiral Ansen in his book Travel around the World, Arrogant, describing China as “despicable, corrupt, theft, terrorist, tyranny ”. What a pity, however, is that such a vocabulary not only aptly describes Britain as a frenzied predatory expansionist colonial empire proper, but also serves to describe France as an aggressive expander.
