What I did not expect was the speed and scale of the reaction – almost a million readers within a week and far too many written responses and TV, radio, and blog debates for me to follow – and its global scope. I have conducted interviews with journalists in Britain, Germany, Norway, India, Australia, Japan, the Netherlands, and Brazil; and articles about the piece have been published in France, Ireland, Italy, Bolivia, Jamaica, Vietnam, Israel, Lebanon, Canada, and many other countries.
我不曾预料到的是反应如此之速、如此之大——短短一周之内便有近一百万读者和数不胜数的文章、电视、广播和博客与我争论这一话题，而且范围涉及全世界。我接受了英国、德国、挪威、印度、澳大利亚、日本、荷兰和巴西记者的采访；与该文相关的文章在法国、爱尔兰、意大利、玻利维亚、牙买加、越南、以色列、黎巴嫩、加拿大和其他许多国家大量涌现。
