日本卡通「哈姆太郎」被泰國示威者用來嘲諷政府

【摘要2020.8.4.自由】黃靖媗

Hundreds of Thai protesters sang a Japanese cartoon jingle on Sunday with lyrics mocking the government as hungry hamsters feasting on taxpayer cash, part of a new protest movement by youth.

週日一場由年輕人主辦的新示威活動中,數百名泰國示威者唱著日本卡通歌謠,歌詞被改編為揶揄政府是蠶食稅金的飢餓倉鼠。

Thai youths have been defying a coronavirus ban on gatherings to hold rallies almost daily since last week. The first rally, by a group called the Free Youth Movement, drew more than 2,000 activists, one of the biggest anti-government protests since a coup in 2014.

泰國年輕人違反冠狀病毒聚集禁令,自上週起幾乎每天舉辦集會。第1場集會由名為「自由青年運動」的團體舉辦,吸引逾2000人參加,是自2014年政變以來,最大規模的反政府示威活動之一。

At Sunday’s demonstration, protesters sang new lyrics to the theme song for "Hamtaro". They ran in circles around Bangkok’s Democracy Monument, like hamsters running in a wheel.

在週日的示威中,示威者高唱填了新詞的「哈姆太郎」主題曲。他們繞著曼谷的民主紀念碑跑步,就像是倉鼠在滾輪裡奔跑。

Leaders of the Free Youth Movement have said they will return to the streets for another large-scale demonstration next week if their demands are not met, including dissolving parliament, revising a constitution written by the military and ending the harassment of government critics.

「自由青年運動」的領袖表示,如果他們的訴求沒有被滿足,下週將會以另一場大型示威重返街頭,訴求包括解散國會、修改軍方擬定的憲法,以及停止對批評政府人士的騷擾等。
