记者: Have you heard about the earthquake in CHINA? 你是否听到了关于中国地震的消息？

莎朗斯通: Of Course I have. 我当然听到了

记者：How you feel about it? 你心中作何感想？

莎朗斯通：You know it’s very interesting because you know at first I am unhappy about the way that the Chinese are treating the Tibetans because I think anyone shouldn’t be unkind to anyone else. So I have been very concerned about to how to… things and what to do about that. Because I dont like THAT. And I have been concerned about.. oh… how should we deal with the Olympics because they haven’t been nice to the Dalai Lama, who is a good friend of mine.. and the earthquake… and all the stuff happened… I think … is that KARMA? when you’re not nice that the bad things happen. And I got a letter from the Tibetan Foundation, they want to go and to be helpful. And that made me CRY. and they asked me if I want to write a quote about that.. and I said I would (for) that is a big lesson to me that sometimes you have to learn to put your head down to be at service to people who aren’t nice to you. And that is a BIG lesson to me.

（大意：你知道，这个（指地震）太有意思了，因为我很不满意中国人对待藏人的方式，我认为人人都应该其他人友善。我就开始想如何……做点什么，因为我很不喜欢那样（指“对藏人的方式”）。另外，我也很关注如何对付奥运会，因为中国人一直对达赖喇嘛不友好，而达赖喇嘛是我的好朋友，这次地震所有这些发生的事儿，我不禁问，这是“报应”么？当你不积德就会有的报应。之后，我受到西藏基金会的一封信，他们说他们将要前往震区提供帮助，这把我感动哭了。西藏基金会问我是不是要发表一个声明支持他们，我说我绝对会的，因为这对我来说是很深刻的一课，当别人待你不善的时候，你也要低下头对他们提供帮助。这真的是很深刻的道理。）
