BBC News:马航乘客家属悬赏500万美元寻内幕

Now several families of those on board the Malaysian Airline's flight MH 370 which went missing three months ago on March 8th have launched a campaign to raise five million dollars for anyone who can resolve the mistery of the plane's disappearance. They plan to raise the money through Indiegogo, the crowd funding website which gathers money through contributions from the members of the public. The campaign is called Reward MH 370. The man behind it is Ethan Hunt a technology company chief. And I spoke to him in Hong Kong just before we recorded this podcast.

三个月以前，即3月8日，马来西亚航班MH370失踪。现在一些乘客家属发起集资动员，悬赏500万美元，来寻找能够解开飞机失踪之谜的人。他们准备借助Indiegogo网站来筹资，这是一家通过公众捐款来筹款的集资网站。乘客家属发起的这项活动名为“悬赏MH370”。该活动的幕后策划者是一家科技公司的老总伊森·亨特。录制这期节目之前，我在香港采访了他。

We believe that the search hasn't produced any results for three months and somewhere somebody knows the answers to what happened to the flight and possibly where the flight is. So what we want to do is raise the reward so that we can get those answers.

我们认为3个月的搜救工作毫无结果，但是在某个地方的某些人应该知道飞机到底怎么了以及这架飞机的下落。所以，我们要做的就是集资悬赏来寻求那些答案。

But what makes you so convinced that someone does have that information?

但是你为什么如此肯定有人知道相关信息?

I think that the target person that has the information is Edward Snowden or somebody who has links to a terrorist organization perhaps. And they would want that type of money to come forward. And you've been quite comfortable whoever you have to give that money to? You'll be happy handing the money over to them in exchange for the information that the families want?

我认为了解情况的的人就是爱德华·斯诺登或者是和恐怖组织有关的人。他们可能会为了那笔钱而站出来告诉大家到底发生了什么。那么无论那人是谁，你都会很爽快地把钱给他们来换取乘客家属想要的信息吗?

I don't think that anybody would argue that providing we got the answers, the passengers were found and that travel in the future were safe again. I think there wouldn't be any argument abut that. And I have absolutely no problem with it.

我认为大家对这一点毫不质疑，只要我们可以得到答案，我们就可以找到乘客，这样就使以后的旅行再次变得安全。我觉得不会有人质疑这一点，我本身也绝对没有问题。

Why have you personally decided to get involved? What's your connection with the people that you are now trying to help?

什么使你决定参与到这件事情中呢?你和你现在要帮助的人们有什么特别的关系呢?

I travel regularly myself. And I'm a concerned person. I'm concerned that air travel is not safe. I believe that the families deserve to have the love ones back and I believe the passengers deserve justice for the situation that's occurred.

我自己也定期出去旅游，而且我是一个很小心的人。这次事件让我感到坐飞机不再安全。我认为应该让乘客家属心爱的人回到他们身边。而且对于此次事件，乘客也应该获得公正的对待。

And how many of the families have you been in touch with? How many of them if you like do you represent?

你和多少家庭保持着联系，你想代表多少家庭?

I have personal relationship with five of them. I've certainly been in touch with a lot of them. And there is several different organizations that they are a part of. Voice 370 is one of them. And I've made it clear to them what we are planning to do.

我和5个家庭保持着联系，当然我接触过其中的很多家庭。他们加入了几个不同的组织，其中就有Voice 370。我已经向他们表明了我们计划做的事。

Exactly where is the money going to come from? How is that gonna work?

这笔钱到底要从哪里来?怎么运作呢?

We've put this to Indiegogo and we have their full support. And what will happen is that the campaign will kick off in about 40 minutes. And people, it will be like a normal crowd funding campaign, making their contribution that will assist us to get to our target of five million dollars for the reward. Ethan Hunt, the man behind Reward MH 370 with me from Hong Kong.

我们已经把这个任务交给了Indiegogo 网站，我们得到了他们的全力支持。40分钟后，筹资就正式开始了。和正常的集资活动一样，大家的捐款将会帮助我们筹集到500万美元的奖金。这就是我在香港对“悬赏MH 370”幕后策划者伊森·亨特的采访。
