n the 61st Annual Cannes Film Festival, when she was asked about if she had heard about the earthquake in China, Stone responded, "Of course I have. You know it was very interesting, because at first, you know, I am not happy about the way the Chinese are treating Tibetans because I don't think anyone should be unkind to anyone else. And so I have been very concerned about how to think and what to do about that, because I don’t like...that. And I've been concerned about how should we deal with Olympics because they've not been nice to Dalai Lama, who is a good friend of mine. And all this earthquake this stuff happened and I thought is that karma? When you are not nice the bad things happen to you.
查英文字典發現，karma這個詞並不能被翻譯成”報應”，正確的翻譯是”輪回”、”宿命”，好象沒有太過貶義的意思，當然言辭確實不妥當，理應受到批評並向災區人民道歉，然而，不知出於什麼目的，國內媒介轉載時卻”斷章取義”地把人家隨後補充的話屏弊掉，使這種不良影響被不必要地無限放大，莎朗•斯通在”輪回說”後馬上補充道” Then I got a letter from the Tibetan Foundation, and they wanted to go and be helpful. And that made my cry. And they asked me if I'd write a quote for that and I said I would. That was a big lesson to me, that sometimes you have to learn to put you head down to be at service even to the people who aren't nice to you. That's a big lesson for me."
下是我剛才才翻譯的譯文，歡迎斧正：
”然而，當我收到西藏基金會一封求救來信後，我哭了，他們問我是否能為（災區）捐點錢，我說可以，我告訴自己即使是對自己不友好的人，有時你也應該為他們做些什麼，對我來說，這是我強烈的心願”
