Marlins manager Ozzie Guillen is quoted in a recent issue of Time magazine as
saying that he has “love” for Cuban dictator Fidel Castro and respects that
he’s been able to maintain power for so long.
最新一期"时代杂志",刊登了马林鱼总教练Ozzie Guillen发表对古巴独裁者卡斯楚
“有爱”的言论,并且对他掌权这么久带有敬意。
Those thoughts obviously aren’t sitting well in Miami — a city with many
Cuban descendants — and so a cleanup campaign has been put in motion.
这样的言论当然会让有不少古巴后裔的迈阿密居民坐立难安,所以球队也必须立刻
发表澄清声明。
Guillen held a closed-door meeting with beat writers on Saturday night,
according to the Associated Press, and offered this: “I will apologize if I
hurt somebody’s feelings, or I hurt somebody’s thought. I want them to know
I’m against everything 100 percent – I repeat it again – the way this man
(been) treating people for the last 60 years.”
根据美联社的报导:Guillen在星期六晚上招开了闭门记者会,发表以下声明:“假如
我伤害了某些人的感受或想法,我愿意在此道歉。我想要让他们知道:我百分之百
反对那个人过去60年以来对待人民的方式。”
The Marlins, meanwhile, have issued a statement: “There is nothing to
respect about Fidel Castro. He is a brutal dictator who has caused
unthinkable pain for more than 50 years. We live in a community filled
with victims of this dictatorship, and the people in Cuba continue to
suffer today.”
马林鱼也在同时发布声明稿:“他(Guillen)对卡斯楚绝对没有带任何一点敬意,
因为卡斯楚是一个残忍的独裁者,并在这五十年间造成无法想像的伤害。我们住在
一个充满这样专政下牺牲者的社群中,而那些在古巴的人民到今日仍在受苦。”
However Ozzie’s original comments to Time magazine came about, he clearly
doesn’t stand behind them. And this certainly isn’t the first time Guillen
has had a scatter-brained opinion about something.
然而,Ozzie在时代杂志的访谈原文中,就已经很清楚的表明并不支持那些独裁者(
包括他母国委内瑞拉的查维兹)。而这明显也不是Guillen第一次说出如此无脑的
言论。
But you have to wonder how this all is affecting the way Guillen is being
viewed in south Florida. The team that employs him, after all, just opened a
new ballpark in a neighborhood called “Little Havana.”
但你们可能会好奇这件事情会如何影响南佛州人对Guillen的评价。毕竟,这只聘用他
的球队,不久前才在一个叫做“小哈瓦那(古巴首都)”的社区里启用新球场呢!
