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.

对于今年3月8日失踪至今3个月的马来西亚航班MH370,一些在飞机上的乘客的家属现发动一场奖赏活动,无论谁能够解开飞机失踪之谜,悬赏500万美元。

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.

他们计划通过网站Indiegogo来筹集资金。Indiegogo是一家集资网站,通过公众的捐款筹集资金。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(Ethan Hunt)。在录制这期节目之前,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个月的搜寻工作未产生任何结果,在某个地方,某些人应该知道飞机发生了什么事情以及飞机可能的藏身地。所以我们想要做的就是悬赏因此我们可以得到这些答案。

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

但是什么让你如此肯定有人掌握相关的信息?

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?

我认为掌握信息的目标人物就是爱德华·斯诺登[Edward Snowden]或可能是与恐怖组织相关的人。他们可能会为了那笔钱而现身。也就是说,无论那人是谁,你都会爽快地把钱给他,以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.

我认为没有人会质疑这一点,只要我们得到答案,乘客被找到了,只要能保证以后的旅行会再次变得安全。我觉得不会有人质疑这个做法的,这个对我来说也绝对不是问题。

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

为什么你决定让自己卷入这个事件呢?你和你现在试图帮助的人有什么关系呢?

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.

我自己也定期旅游。而且我是一个很小心的人。我担心坐飞机不安全。我认为乘客家属有资格让心爱的人回到身边,而且我认为乘客也有获得公正对待的权利。

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

那你和多少个家庭保持着联系呢?你想代表多少个家庭?

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个家庭保持着私人的联系。当然我接触过很多家庭。他们加入了几个不同的组织,其中一个是Voice 370。我已经向他们清楚表明了我们正在计划做的事情。

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

那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.

我们把这个任务交给了Indiegogo 网站,并得到了他们的全力支持。40分钟后,筹资就正式开始了。它和正常的筹资程序一样,大家的捐款将会帮助我们筹集到500万美元的奖金。以上是我在香港对“悬赏MH 370”发起者(Ethan Hunt)进行的采访。
