In fact, what most attracts media attention is conflict and violence. It is cause for celebration that the international media paid close attention to the crisis, and that the election--this great step in democratization--came off without a hitch. But we'd probably rather not know when the next wave of attention from the international media will come around.
事實上，媒體追求的是新聞，而最吸引人的新聞是衝突、戰爭、暴力，台灣這次選舉集完成民主大業、台海飛彈危機和美國正面迎戰北京等衝擊性而得國際媒體青睞，並且有驚無險地完成大選，堪稱皆大歡喜，但下一波媒體何時再現，恐怕就不是我們想知道的了。
