　　在我前几天放了说希拉里的博客后，我发现有些人留下对她很负面的评论。我很想说一说这个事情，也许能改变你的观点？
　　After i put Hillary and my picture into my blog, i saw some negative comments about her. I want to tell you something which I hope will change the way you think about her. 　　
　　By January 2009, when Hillary was last in China, the US pavilion（世博会美国馆） did not exist at all! After a whole year of efforts, the "US Team" did not get any sponsors. No one in the USA knows anything about World Expo. USA as a country has not participated in World Expo for many many years! Why?

　　在短短的上海之行里，希拉里一大清早就冒着冷雨来到世博会美国馆的工地，感谢所有的sponsors。来源：考试大
　　Because while most of the pavilions are paid for by the individual governments, the US government has a law that does not allow the government to pay for such activities. Even the Olympics is not paid for by the American Government. (If Atlanta is hosting it, then Atlanta has to find sponsors for it not the American Central Government.)
　　During her last visit, the Chinese leaders told Hillary that the World Pavilion was very important for the US China relations and that the US must participated. Hillary could not change the US law, but she PROMISED then that she would put her personal efforts into making it a reality and that even if she had to "build it herself, she will be sure that the US will participate" With this promise to the Chinese government she personally called a few sponsors. It was HER that made that first call to Indra Nooyi. CEO of Pepsi Cola to get the first 5 million dollars . She also put a number of her staff to do a lot of fund raising. Today, most of the sponsors are here because of her efforts. Without her being passionate about our Shanghai Expo, there will NOT be a US Pavilion.
　　Now, what do you think of her?
