各位台中版前辈们晚安
小弟发现似乎很多人不知道这封公文的存在
因此贴上来顺便翻译给各位参考

这是花博官方 AIPH 给台中市府的信
来源是联合报 新闻内图片由台中市政府副秘书长提供

内文第一人称的"我"是现任AIPH的秘书长 Tim Briercliffe
原文及个人翻译如下:
EXPO ENTRANCE FEES
花博入园费用(对 标题真的是这样 还是粗体)
I hope that all is going well in the final weeks ahead of the opening of the
Taichung World Flora Expo 2018.
希望最后几周花博的准备状况会一切顺利
It have come to my attention that
some people in Taichung are calling for entrance
to your EXPO to be made available to taichung citizen free for charge.
我注意到某些台中市的人开始呼吁让台中市民免费参观花博
I would urge you not to be distracted by such calls.
我希望敦促你不要被这些要求影响
It is normal to charge a fee for entrance
入园时收取费用是很正常的事
and it would be quite unprecedented for this not to happend.
而永久免费入园则是史无前例的
In fact, AIPH would not support such a decision as such a move would affect
de-value the Expo in the eyes of your citizen and in the eyes of the world
事实上,AIPH(花博主办单位)并不支持这种
会导致世界和台中市市民对花博的观感"贬值"的决定
I urge you to have confidence in what you have prepared for your city and not
to seek to de-value your hard work and not to de-value the international brand
of the Expo.
我希望您对您准备的事物有信心 并且不让让您的辛苦付出和花博的国际声誉贬值
This would be a dis-service to your own achivements and to Expos worldwide.
I hope to hear news soon from you that this matter has been resolved
appropriately
这种行为(指花博免费)对您的成就以及花博是一种伤害
期待能听到您适当处置这件事的消息
以上渣翻 如有错误 还请各位前辈斧正
