Foreword

以“人权卫士”自居的美国政府在刚刚发布的《2012年国别人权报告》中，又对包括中国在内的190多个国家的人权状况指手画脚、说三道四，而偏偏对其本国存在的人权问题避而不谈、只字未提。事实说明，美国存在着严重人权问题，并广受世人诟病。在这里，仅对2012年美国的人权问题做些实录，以便世人从中略窥美国人权状况之一斑。

The State Department of the United States recently released its Country Reports on Human Rights Practices for 2012, posing as “the world judge of human rights” again. As in previous years, the reports are full of carping and irresponsible remarks on the human rights situation in more than 190 countries and regions including China. However, the U.S. turned a blind eye to its own woeful human rights situation and never said a word about it. Facts show that there are serious human rights problems in the U.S. which incur extensive criticism in the world. The Human Rights Record of the U.S. in 2012 is hereby prepared to reveal the true human rights situation of the U.S. to people across the world by simply laying down some facts.

2012年美国存在的人权问题在以下几个方面使人印象深刻：

The human rights situation in the U.S. in 2012 has deeply impressed people in the following aspects:

——美国持枪犯罪严重威胁公民的生命与人身安全。2012年，先后发生奥克兰校园枪击案、科罗拉多“世纪16”电影院枪击案和康涅狄格州校园枪击案，伤亡人数震惊世界。

-- Firearms-related crimes posed serious threat to the lives and personal security of citizens in the U.S. Some shootings left astonishing casualties, such as the school shooting in Oakland, the Century 16 theater shooting in Colorado and the school shooting in Connecticut.

——美国选举不能充分体现全体公民的真正意志。政治献金在很大程度上影响了选举过程和政策走向。在2012年美国大选中，仅有57.5%的选民参加了投票。

-- In the U.S., elections could not fully embody the real will of its citizens. Political contributions had, to a great extent, influenced the electoral procedures and policy direction. During the 2012 presidential election, the voter turnout was only 57.5 percent.
