這是一個趕人的故事....
SALT LAKE CITY - A group of fans who were kicked
out of an exhibition soccer game between the
Chinese national team and Real Salt Lake say it
was because they stirred up a political
controversy by waving the flag of Tibet.
``I was really, really shocked. I couldn't believe
this was happening in this country,'' said Colin
Coker, who was among the small group of fans who
were taken out of Rice-Eccles Stadium on Thursday
night.
在鹽湖城足球隊vs中國國家隊的一場表演賽中,有一群
球迷被主辦單位趕出球場。他們說趕人的原因是他們揮
舞西藏的旗幟造成政治僅髒。其中一名叫做科林‧科克
的球迷說,他不敢相信這種事會發生在美國。
The fans had been waving the flag of Tibet, the
Himalayan region that has been battling China
over independence for decades, during the game
Thursday night. Some of the Chinese players
stepped off the field early in the second half
and refused to play again until the flags were
put away.
在這場比賽中,他們揮舞著西藏、台灣、還有抗議六四
的標誌。中國隊球員憤而離場拒絕繼續比賽。這群球迷
後來有把旗幟收起來,不過後來還是忍不住又拿出來。
所以他們就被趕出去了。
The fans put away the Tibetan flags, as well as
flags of Taiwan and a sign referring to China's
Tiananmen Square protest in 1989, but brought
them out again later in the game. Coker said he
and several other fans were then kicked out of
the stadium.
Real Salt Lake spokesman Trey Fitz-Gerald said the
fans were kicked out for being disruptive. He
said they were more focused on harassing the
Chinese players than making a political
statement.
鹽湖城足球隊的發言人說,這群球迷被趕的原因是因為
他們破壞秩序,意圖假政治之名行為行對中國球員騷擾
之實。
``This is a case where we invited this team here,
and we were their host, and we needed to be
diplomatic,'' Fitz-Gerald said.
他還說,相逢自是有緣,鹽湖城以客為尊。
Coker acknowledged he was partly trying to
distract and annoy the Chinese team, but he also
wanted to raise awareness about Tibet's fight
with China. He said he was considering taking his
complaint to the American Civil Liberties Union.
科科說他確實有要擾亂中國隊球員的意思,不過更重要
的是要呼籲大家正視西藏的獨立運動。他考慮到相關單
位申訴。
