美國新聞主播辱華 華裔參議員要求其辭職
Democratic state Sen. Ted Lieu of Torrance called on Fox News host Bob Beckel to resign Saturday after he said on the air Thursday that "Chinamen" are the single biggest threat to national security.
美國華裔民主黨加州參議員劉雲平週六發表聲明，要求福克斯新聞臺主播鮑勃·貝克爾爲其週四節目中“‘中國佬’是對美國國家安全最大的威脅”的言辭引咎辭職。During an episode of the “The Five,” Beckel said: "As usual, we bring them over here and teach a bunch of Chinamen -- Chinese people -- how to do computers and then they go back to China and hack into us.”
在週四的The Five節目中，貝克爾說，“像往常一樣，我們把他們帶到這裏，教一幫中國佬……呃，中國人，怎樣使用電腦，然後他們回到中國，非法侵入我們的系統。”“We should all be alarmed by the racist, xenophobic comments by Fox News host Bob Beckel," Lieu said in a statement Saturday. "His comments have no place in America, and this is at least the second time he has used racial slurs. He must resign immediately."
“對於福克斯新聞臺主播鮑勃?貝克爾的這種種族主義的、排外的言論，我們都應該有所警惕，”劉雲平在週六的聲明中指出，“他的言論在美國是站不住腳的，而且這至少已是他第二次說出這種種族歧視的言論。他必須立馬辭職。”
Beckel was commenting on a New York Times article that said Chinese hackers broke into the computer networks of a U.S. government agency that houses the personal information of all federal employees.
貝克爾曾在《紐約時報》一篇文章的評論中稱，中國黑客侵入了美國政府機關的電腦網絡，網絡中儲存着所有聯邦僱員的個人信息。This is not the first time Beckel has caused a stir with his remarks about race. Last year he said on the show that once after he went swimming, his “eyes blew up" and "it made me look Oriental.”
這已經不是貝克爾第一次用他帶有種族色彩的評論引起爭議了。去年他在節目中稱，有一次他去游泳的時候，“眼睛都脹大了”，這“讓我看起來像是個東方人”。“I am one of those ‘Chinamen’ with ‘Oriental’ eyes that immigrated to America and majored in computer science. I also served on active duty in the United States Air Force and continue to serve my country in the Reserves," Lieu said in the statement. "And today, as an American and as a California state senator, I call on Mr. Beckel to resign."
“我是一個‘中國佬’，長着‘東方人’的眼睛，我移民來到美國，學習的是計算機科學。我還曾經是美國空軍現役部隊的一員，並繼續作爲後備役爲我的國家服務，”劉雲平在聲明中說道，“今天，作爲一個美國人，作爲一名加州州參議員，我要求貝克爾先生辭職。”Lieu is running against gang prosecutor Elan Carr to replace U.S. Rep. Henry A. Waxman.
劉雲平正在與共和黨檢察官卡爾競爭國會衆議員沃克斯曼空出的席位。
