  NSA leaker Edward Snowden _1_ a Christmas message on British television today. Each year, Britain's Channel Four broadcast what it calls an alternative to the Queen's holiday message, mimicking 1 her format 2 and sometime playful, sometime _2_ way. As Larry Miller 3 reports from London, Snowden's statements today were very serious.
  今天,美国国家安全局泄密者爱德华·斯诺登在英国电视台发表圣诞致词。每年,英国电视四台都会以这类致词替代女王的节日致词,这些致词会模仿她的方式,有时有趣,有时严肃。据拉里·米勒从伦敦带来的报道,今天斯诺登的致词就非常严肃。
  Snowden says today surveillance society goes well beyond anything George Orwell _3_. NSA technology gets more invasive. A child born today will never experience privacy 4.
  今天,斯诺登表示,监控社会远远超出乔治·奥威尔的想象。国安局的技术更具入侵性。今天出生的孩子再也体会不到何为隐私性。
  "They will never know what it means to have a private moment to themselves-- _4_, unanalyzed thought. Privacy is what allows us to determine who we are and who we want to be."
  “他们再也不会知道何为拥有自己的私人时间——那是一个未被记录、未被分析的想法。正是隐私让我们决定了自己是谁,以及想成为什么样的人。”
  Snowden says the conversation going on today will determine the balance between the technology and the government they _5_. And he says if government really wants to know what people are doing and thinking, asking is always cheaper than spying. For NPR News, I am Larry Miller in London.
