葛特曼律師回函中文翻譯：



我們認為，在台灣媒體上全面性的誤解與魯莽的指控，是因為Gutmann書中的英文與相關
頁面被翻譯成中文過後，因為語言與文化的差異所造成的理解問題。
我們相信所有的誤解都會在中文版的The Slaughter中被澄清，其中會包含未收錄在英文
版中的序言，會直接回應柯文哲醫師的疑慮。

為了讓事情更明朗，我們必須要指出，對於書中225頁的理解，完全沒有英語語系的評論
家，有著跟第一語言是華語的台灣讀者有著相同解釋。

在您給Gutmann先生的信件中，您對於255頁的敘述「所有器官都是來自於法輪功」有特別
的疑慮。

這本書有透過三位專業讀者同儕審查，且經Prometheus冗長的內部編輯過程，不僅包含文
字內容，更須檢視作者的筆記、訪談的錄音帶以及電子溝通。

沒有任何英語系的讀者會將標題或是文字內容解讀為，柯文哲可從類似私人「器官仲介」
交易的形式取得法輪功器官，只會解讀為柯文哲醫師是被告知資訊的。

迄今沒有任何英語系讀者曾經將柯文哲醫師解讀為器官仲介者。



我們相信語言、翻譯以及在台北市市長選舉中激昂的政治環境，會導致大家誤會作者的意
思並讓事情變得更模糊。

然而我們將全力確保在中文版的The Slaughter會越準確越好。


葛特曼律師英文回函：


Re: Your Letter to Mr. Gutmann on October
Please excuse us for having exceeded by a few days the three week time period
within which we had agreed to expand upon our earlier letter to you of Novembe
r 4.
We take Dr. Ko’s concerns very seriously and we have reviewed the relevant pa
ges in his book together with our own records of interviews and notes on which
 those pages were based.
We have concluded that the entire misunderstanding and the reckless accusation
s which have appeared in the Taiwan media would appear to be based on language
 and cultural differences between the English in Mr. Gutmann’s book, on the o
ne hand, and the understanding of the relevant pages when the latter have been
 rendered into Chinese.
We believe that all misunderstandings will be clarified in the Chinese edition
 of The Slaughter, which will contain a special preface not included in the En
glish edition. This preface will address Dr. Ko’s concerns directly.
For greater clarity, we would like to point out that no English speaking revie
wer of the book has understood page 255 in the way it has apparently been unde
rstood in Taiwan by readers whose first language is Chinese.
In your letter to Mr. Gutmann, you specifically mentioned the caption on page
255 reading “All the Organs will come from Falun Gong” as a particular conce
rn.
This book was peer-reviewed by three expert readers and subjected to a lengthy
 internal editing process by Prometheus. This review included not only the tex
t itself, but also the author’s notes, interview tapes, and electronic commun
ications.
No English-speaking reader has understood the caption or the text to mean anyt
hing other than that Dr. Ko was being given information, rather than making a
statement about the availability of Falun Gong organs in some sort of personal
 “organ broker” deal.
No English-speaking reader to date has understood for one moment that Dr. Ko w
as acting as an “organ broker”.
No English-speaking reader to date believes that Dr. Ko was trying to purchase
 organs himself or was in any way involved in any sort of profit-making ventur
e.
On the contrary, most readers have praised Dr. Ko for his contribution to the
investigation. Reviewers have responded similarly, as did the audience at the
author’s book launch at the National Endowment for Democracy in Washington DC
.
We believe that language, translation, and the heated environment of the polit
ical campaign for the mayoral race in Taipei may be playing a role in misconst
ruing the author’s intentions and clouding the issue.
Nonetheless we are interested in ensuring that the Chinese edition of The Slau
ghter is as accurate as possible.
In conclusion, we reiterate that we think the Taiwan media has been unfair in
its treatment of both Dr. Ko and Mr. Gutmann. Mr. Gutmann believes, and we thi
nk his book demonstrates, that Dr. Ko has acted honourably, that he has never
been an organ broker, that he has never sought profit through China’s organ m
arketing, and that he has contributed significantly to the international effor
t to expose the medical crimes which continue to be perpetrated in China.
