Chinese to English Other Journalism
约70人在长崎和平公园静坐,并发表了抗议煽动日本进行核武装的信。

Thinking of using "read out". Is it correct? Any other suggestions?

Shaunna (X) Feb 11, 2007:
I think "read out" is good too, when it is a letter we are talking about. BTW, I think the original Chinese text (发表... 信 duiring a 静坐) is a little odd here.
Wilman Feb 11, 2007:
I think 'read out' is good.

我的理解

这里的发表不是出版业说的发表。我同意Wilman的理解,但因为她没有发表答案,我就借花献佛了。

如果这里使用 announce或declare,似乎更适合,因为这封信更是一种宣言和主张。

Could it be that the protestors also published a protest letter besides staging the silent protest at the park? I guess you can judge from the text in its entirety.

If it must be 'read out', how about 'proclaimed'?

Wondering aloud here... it is a 'silent protest', right?

Ah, Shaunna's already pointed that out.
Note from asker:
Don't think one can 'proclaim a letter'...
