White Sox's Kopech apologizes for racist, homophobic tweets
白袜投手Kopech为种族歧视跟恐同推特道歉
CHICAGO (AP) — Chicago White Sox rookie pitcher Michael Kopech has
apologized for racist and homophobic tweets he posted as 17-year-old and has
since deleted.
芝加哥白袜菜鸟投手为了他17岁在推特上发表的种族歧视跟恐同推特文道歉，然后删除那
些推特文。
The tweets from 2013 surfaced Tuesday as Kopech made his major league debut.
2013年时的推特在星期二Kopech在MLB首役时被人起底出来。
"I had to delete some stuff," Kopech told the Chicago Sun-Times on Thursday.
"Things I said that were immature and inappropriate. I used some poor
language in there. Obviously, I'm trying to be looked at as a role model and
the last thing I want to do is have some kid look at what I'm saying and take
it the wrong way.
“我必须要把那些东西给删掉，”星期四Kopech跟芝加哥当地媒体说到。“那些我说的东
西是不成熟也是不适当的。我那里面用了很不好的文字，很明显地，我试着想要让其他人
认为我是可以学习的对象，而我最不想要的就是有小朋友看到我说的东西然后误解了。”
"It's unfortunate that I was ever at that point mentally, but it's not who I
am now. Yeah, I cleaned some tweets up and tried to get rid of them. But,
obviously, people saw them. It's not who I am now and it's not who I want to
be. It was something I did in high school, and with everything I've gone
through in pro ball the last five seasons I feel like a big part of my career
was maturing. Hate to see it, but it's not who I am anymore."
“我在那时候有那种行为真的很糟糕，但是我现在已经不是那种人了。没错，我把推特清
了一下，把那些不适宜的删掉。但是，人们已经看到了。我现在不是那种人，我将来也不
会是。那是我在高中时候做的，而在经过五年的职业棒球洗礼，我认为一大部分的我已经
成熟了，很讨厌看到那些，但是我已经不是那种人了。”
Kopech grew up in Mount Pleasant, Texas, and attended Mount Pleasant High
School.
Kopech在德州Mount Pleasant长大，念Mount Pleasant高中。
Also recently, years-old racist, misogynistic and homophobic tweets from
Milwaukee reliever Josh Hader were found during the All-Star Game. Then,
Atlanta pitcher Sean Newcomb and Washington shortstop Trea Turner had their
own offensive tweets unearthed.

推特文。勇士投手Sean Newcomb跟国民游击手Trea Turner也被起底以前的一些令人不适的
推特文。
