Littered with a host of extremely sensitive anniversaries, 2009 could prove even more dramatic and unpredictable than 2008. Fast approaching is not only the March anniversary of last year’s disturbances in Tibet, but also the 50th anniversary of the Tibetan unrest in 1959 that led to the exile of the Dalai Lama and his supporters.
夹杂着一系列极为敏感的纪念日，2009年可能会被事实证明比2008年更难预测，也更富戏剧性。很快到来的不仅是去年西藏三月动乱的纪念日，西藏1959年动乱的50周年纪念日也紧随其后，达赖喇嘛及其支持者在那次动乱以后开始了国外流亡生活。
