您能再讲一讲世界日报
Interviewer: Could you talk more about the key events
发展过程中一些重要的议程
in the growth of the World Journal?
当然更重要的莫过于这个温哥华
Mr. Hsu: Of course, nothing is more important than the decision of closing down the World Journal
跟多伦多熄灯关门
in Toronto and Vancouver.
主要就是因为电视跟电子网络
The development of TV and the internet
出现以后
吸引走了很多
attracted many advertisements
平面媒体的广告
which used to belong to the print media.
这广告越来越少的时候
When there were less and less advertisements,
你没有办法
We could not survive.
因为报馆的作业程序很大
Because the production process in a newspaper press is quite complicated,
要拥有很多人
we needed to have many employees.
说甚至于报纸进来好了
Even when the newspapers came out,
你还要想办法去送
we had to find ways to deliver and distribute them.
因为移民的这个很多回流
Also because there were many Chinese immigrants who returned
我们华人啊回流到台湾或者香港
to Taiwan or Hong Kong.
然后回流到大陆
And some returned to the mainland China.
是吧
Right?
所以多伦多跟温哥华的报纸
So The World Journal in Toronto and Vancouver
亏本失血太久了
experienced long-term loss.
当时就是
At that time,
2015年年底的时候
About the end of 2015,
就2016年年初1月1号
on January 1, 2016,
多伦多跟温哥华
The World Journal in Toronto and Vancouver closed down.
世界日报熄灯的时候
It was the last day of
我们最后一天
The World Journal.
我们都投了很多感言嘛
We all made a lot of comments.
所以我们认为说
We said that
世界日报在温哥华
the relationship between The World Journal in Vancouver
40年来跟读者的关系
and its readers in the past 40 years
就像连体婴儿一样
is like that of conjoined twins,
是吧
right?
你少不了我
One cannot live without the other.
我少不了你
And vice versa.
甚至于就是说你中有我
We even can say that one owns the other.
我中有你
And vice versa.
对不对
Right?
也是希望将来还可以
I still hope that The World Journal Vancouver will have a reunion with its readers
再相会的一天
some day in the future.
虽然不容易
Although it will not be easy,
不过呢还是有办法
there will be ways.
