在一个社交媒体流行同时“假新闻”满天飞的时代，媒体人始终坚持以事实为依据进行报道，与受众建立信任，这两点显得比以往任何时候都更为重要，《赫芬顿邮报》的联合创始人阿里安娜•赫芬顿在接受China Focus独家专访时强调。以下采访中还将谈到当今媒体如何赢回受众的信任，为什么中国故事在世界舞台上扮演着重要角色等问题。
In an era when "fake news" and social media are increasingly prevalent, the role of journalists in "sticking to the facts" and building "trust" has become more important than ever before. That is the view of HuffPost co-founder Arianna Huffington, who spoke exclusively to China Focus on how modern media can win back viewer confidence and why Chinese stories have an important role to play on the world stage.
赫芬顿坚信作为新闻媒体最重要的一点是忠于事实，建立媒体与受众之间的信任。很多媒体都没能建立起这种信任关系。一旦失信于读者和用户，媒体再尝试沟通将非常困难。因此，建立信任是重中之重。
As a news-outlet founder, Huffington believes the most important thing is to stick to the facts and build trust because "that's what missing from much of the media today. Once readers and users stop trusting an outlet, it is really hard to communicate", so, she emphasized, "building trust is number one over anything else".
如何看待中国文化在世界上的地位呢？在谈到中国文化时，赫芬顿表示自己非常推崇中国古代文化。她相信重新借鉴中国古代的智慧，将为中国和世界做出巨大贡献，因为中国古代“道”的智慧与今天的生活仍然息息相关。
How can we view the role of Chinese culture in the world? When it comes to Chinese culture and stories, Huffington herself said she is a huge fan of China's ancient culture. She believes that culturally, China has a huge contribution to make, because the ancient Chinese wisdom of Taoism is very relevant today.
赫芬顿认为，此时此刻，无论是在西方国家还是中国，压力和倦怠正像流行病一样席卷人类，成为我们面临的重大危机。我们当前遇到的有精神健康危机、不断增加的抑郁症和焦虑症人群，糖尿病、艾滋病等慢性疾病患者的数量也日益增多。
Huffington understands that at this moment in history, both in the West and in China, stress and burnout epidemic is a major crisis, which we are all facing. She mentions that we see it in the mental health crises, the rise of depression and in anxiety. We also see it increasing in chronic diseases like diabetes and AIDS.
她最后谈到了自己对于道家哲学中阴阳概念的理解——“阳”代表走出去，收获和征服；而“阴”代表回归和整装再发，这正是当今社会所失去的。人们忽略了为自己补充能量、自我更新的过程。她认为这些理念对于化解现代人的健康危机十分有帮助。
Huffington ended by reminding us the important Taoist concept—— Yin and Yang. "Yang, you go out, achieve and conquer; Yin, you come back and refuel. It is exactly what the modern world has lost. We've lost the refueling, recharging and the renewing part." She thinks these theories are truly helpful in conquering diseases which bother modern people.
