最近几年,“正能量”是在中国的媒体、网络上常常出现的一个词儿。所谓的“正能量”,就是积极[3] 向上、正面[4] 乐观[5] 的动力[6] 和情感[7] 。现在媒体把所有给人力量,让人感动[8] 的事情都贴[9] 上“正能量”的标签。比方说,国庆节期间,海外留学生与国旗[10] 合影[11] ,写下祝福[12] 祖国[13] 的话;大学生拾金不昧[14] ,把在公交车上捡[15] 到的钱包还给失主[16] ;环卫工人[17] 收养[18] 被遗弃[19] 的婴儿等等。
但前不久,央视[20] 的一条“正能量”微博报道却受到了人们的质疑[21] 。今年夏天,武汉[22] 发生水灾[23] ,很多地方都被淹[24] 了。武汉政府出动[25] 军队[26] 救灾[27] 。央视的微博这样描述士兵[28] 救灾的情形[29] :“在大雨里,他们不穿雨衣;[30] 为了运[31] 沙袋[32] ,他们浑身[33] 是泥,里外湿透[34] ;六十斤[35] 的沙袋,每个人扛[36] 三百个;雨水加馒头,就是他们的食物……”。很多人看到这条微博的反应是:“政府每年投入那么多军费[37] ,为什么救灾设备还这么差?让救灾的士兵吃雨水馒头,怎么可以这样对待[38] 我们的英雄……”[39] 最后,在网友[40] 激烈的批评下,央视删掉[41] 了这条“正能量”微博。
