TIFFANY MAY2026年11月5日2021年，在香港一场针对47名被控违反国家安全法的反对派人士的聆讯结束后，民主活动人士黄之锋抵达监狱。 Lam Yik Fei for The New York TimesJoshua Wong, a key figure in pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong, was sentenced on Thursday by a Hong Kong court to 10 years in prison on charges of conspiracy to collude with foreign forces, a national security offense.周四，香港民主抗议活动的关键人物黄之锋被香港一家法院以串谋勾结外国势力的罪名判处10年监禁，这是一项国家安全罪。Speaking in court on Thursday, Judge William Tam ruled that Mr. Wong’s offense was of a “grave nature,” which the national security law stipulates must result in a sentence of no less than 10 years.法官谭耀豪周四在法庭上裁定，黄之锋“罪行重大”，根据国家安全法的规定，须判处不少于10年的监禁。Judge Tam said that Mr. Wong and Nathan Law, a fellow activist who had fled to Britain, were the “ringleaders” of a conspiracy to lobby foreign governments with “blatant calls for sanctions and hostile measures” and it was necessary for the severity of the punishment to act as a deterrent.谭耀豪表示，黄之锋与已逃往英国的另一名活动人士罗冠聪是串谋游说外国政府并“公然呼吁制裁和敌对措施”的“主谋”，有必要通过严厉的惩罚来起到威慑作用。Standing behind the dock, Mr. Wong, in a navy blue shirt, took notes as the judge spoke and appeared crestfallen as his sentence was announced. Before he was led away by police officers, Mr. Wong looked toward the public and press gallery. He smiled and said “thank you to you all” in Cantonese.站在被告席后的黄之锋身穿海军蓝衬衫，在法官讲话时做着笔记，并在宣布刑期时显得十分沮丧。在被警察带走前，黄之锋看向公众席和记者席。他微笑着用粤语说道：“多谢大家”。Mr. Wong, 30, was accused in 2025 of conspiring to lobby lawmakers, particularly those in the United States, to impose sanctions on Hong Kong and China. The maximum penalty for colluding with foreign forces is life in prison. Mr. Wong had pleaded guilty.30岁的黄之锋于2025年被控串谋游说立法者（尤其是美国立法者）对香港和中国实施制裁。勾结外国势力罪的最高刑罚为终身监禁。黄之锋此前已认罪。With virtually all national security cases ending in convictions, an increasing number of activists have chosen to plead guilty for a one-third reduction in sentence as part of a “harm reduction strategy,” said Thomas Kellogg, the executive director of the Georgetown Center for Asian Law.乔治城大学亚洲法学中心执行主任托马斯·凯洛格表示，由于几乎所有的国家安全案件都以定罪告终，越来越多的活动人士选择认罪以换取三分之一的减刑，将其作为一种“减害策略”。Mr. Wong began his activism at age 14. He has already spent nearly six years behind bars as part of a conviction in a separate national security case and, according to friends, had been counting the months to his release in January before he was hit by the new charges.黄之锋从14岁起便开始参与社会活动。他因在另一起国家安全案件中被定罪，已在狱中度过了近六年。据朋友们说，在受到新指控之前，他一直在期盼着再过几个月等到明年1月获释。Friends of Mr. Wong said he struggled with the prospect of another long sentence. Chin Sze-man, who visited him in prison after the new charges were filed, said in an interview that it looked like “hope had disappeared from his eyes.”黄之锋的朋友们表示，他对可能面临的又一个漫长刑期感到痛苦。在被指控新的罪名后曾去狱中探望他的钱诗文在接受采访时说，他看起来就像“希望从他眼中消失了”。Legal experts said ahead of Thursday’s sentencing that it was aimed at dampening Mr. Wong’s influence.法律专家在周四的判决前表示，此举旨在削弱黄之锋的影响力。“To many observers, he represented the Hong Kong pro-democracy movement’s future: not only young, but also charismatic, a gifted communicator, and an activist willing to take enormous personal risks,” said Eva Pils, a professor in international human rights law at FAU Nuremberg, Germany.德国纽伦堡大学国际人权法教授伊娃·皮尔斯说：“对许多观察人士而言，他代表了香港民主运动的未来：他不仅年轻、富有魅力、沟通天赋出众，还是一名愿意承担巨大个人风险的活动人士。”She added, “Putting Wong behind bars for so many years is probably intended to diminish his presence in the public mind and make his image fade away.”“将黄之锋关押在狱中这么多年，目的可能是为了削弱他在公众心目中的存在感，让他的形象渐渐淡出，”她还说。Beijing imposed a national security law on Hong Kong in 2020 that explicitly criminalized calls for sanctions and other forms of dissent.2020年，北京在香港实施了国家安全法，明确将呼吁制裁及其他形式的异议行为定为犯罪。“The ‘conspiracy to collude with foreign forces’ charge effectively paints him as a traitor,” said Steve Tsang, director of the SOAS China Institute in London. He added that China’s ruling Communist Party had decided that Hong Kong’s pro-democracy movement in 2019 was “an open rebellion” against the party. “Joshua is seen as a leading light guiding Hong Kong’s ‘unpatriotic’ acts,” he said.伦敦亚非学院中国研究院院长曾锐生表示：“‘串谋勾结外国势力’的指控实际上将他描绘成了一个叛国者。”他补充道，中国共产党已将香港2019年的民主运动定性为反党的“公开叛乱”。“黄之锋被视为引导香港‘不爱国’行为的人物，”他说。In 2012, when Mr. Wong was 14, he co-founded a student group called Scholarism opposing government plans to introduce a mandatory “moral and national education” course, which he said amounted to political indoctrination and “brainwashing.” Tens of thousands of protesters turned out outside government headquarters in support of Mr. Wong’s cause, and the government was forced to backpedal on its plans.2012年，14岁的黄之锋参与创立了学生团体“学民思潮”，反对政府推行强制性的“德育及国民教育”课程计划，他称该课程等同于政治灌输和“洗脑”。数以万计的抗议者聚集在政府总部外支持黄之锋的诉求，政府最终被迫搁置了该计划。Two years later, in 2014, he became the distinctive face of young activists calling for freer elections in Hong Kong. The group held student strikes outside the government headquarters and pitched tents that blocked traffic in the city’s central business district for weeks. The protests became known as the Umbrella Movement.两年后的2014年，他成为呼吁在香港举行更自由选举的年轻活动人士中的标志性面孔。该团体在政府总部外举行了学生罢课，并搭起帐篷，导致该市中央商务区的交通瘫痪了数周。这场抗议活动后来被称为雨伞运动。By the time an unpopular extradition bill touched off months of antigovernment protests in 2019, “a lot of Joshuas emerged,” said Chan Kin-man, a prominent pro-democracy activist and former sociology professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, now living in Taiwan.现居台湾的著名民主活动人士、香港中文大学前社会学教授陈健民说，当2019年一项不受欢迎的引渡法案引发数月的反政府抗议时，“涌现出了许多个黄之锋。”But as a pioneering young activist, Mr. Wong had something others lacked: an international profile.但作为一名具有开拓性的青年活动人士，黄之锋具备其他人所缺乏的优势：国际知名度。“He was already an icon. Many people in the West knew him. So he was able to meet political heavyweights in the United States,” he said. “It’s also this special role that has led him to such trying circumstances.”“他当时已经是一个偶像。西方很多人都认识他。因此他能够会见美国的政治重量级人物，”陈健民说，“也正是这种特殊的角色，导致他陷入了如此艰难的境地。”In his five years behind bars, Mr. Wong has maintained a routine in which he has read widely, taken business courses, exercised and written letters, his friends said in interviews.黄之锋的朋友在接受采访时表示，在狱中的五年里，他保持着规律的作息，广泛阅读、学习商业课程、锻炼身体并写信。“Typical people develop their careers for eight to ten years before they have energy left for the public good,” he wrote in a letter to a friend in January, reviewed by The New York Times. “But for most of us born after the 90s it is the opposite.”“一般人通常会花八到十年时间发展事业，然后才有精力投入公益，”他在1月写给朋友的一封信中写道。“但对于我们大多数90后来说，情况恰恰相反。”时报查阅了该信件。In the letter he had said that he was looking forward to his release in 2027, and that he hoped to gather with friends in 2032 to mark 20 years since they created Scholarism.他在信中表示，自己期待着2027年获释，并希望能在2032年与朋友们重聚，以纪念他们创立“学民思潮”20周年。Louis Lee, who frequently visits and writes to Mr. Wong, said that he has never given up, despite uncertainty over his future.经常探视并给黄之锋写信的路易·李表示，尽管未来充满不确定性，但他从未放弃过。In a letter in 2025, also seen by The Times, Mr. Wong wrote that “the world has not been gentle” to him at all, but he would persevere.在同样由《纽约时报》查阅的一封2025年的信中，黄之锋写道，“这个世界对我一点也不温柔，”但他会坚持下去。“In this world where action seems fruitless, I will strive with all my might,” he wrote.“在这个行动似乎徒劳无功的世界里，我依然会倾尽全力去奋斗，”他写道。Tiffany May是时报驻香港记者，报道香港和更广泛地区的政治、商业和文化议题。翻译：纽约时报中文网点击查看本文英文版。
