川普老婆又身陷“抄襲門”?

推薦人: 來源: 閱讀: 1.21W 次

A booklet published by Melania Trump's new campaign for children's online safety bears an uncanny resemblance to a document released under Barack Obama's administration.

梅拉尼婭·特朗普發起了一項兒童網絡安全的活動,爲此還印刷了一些科普小冊子。但是,冊子上的內容和奧巴馬執政期間發佈的一項文件驚人的相似。

Donald Trump's wife gave an opening night address at the Republican National Convention in 2016 that was partly plagiarisedfrom a speech by then first lady Michelle Obama.

(這不由得讓人回憶起)在2016年共和黨全國大會開幕式演說上,梅拉尼婭抄襲了當時還是第一夫人米歇爾奧巴馬的部分演講內容。

Melania's initiative, Be Best, which launched on Monday, has a page on the official White House website that said near the bottom: “Parents, click here to read Talking with Kids about Being Online, a booklet by First Lady Melania Trump and the Federal Trade Commission.”

由梅拉妮婭組織發起的活動Be Best於本週一上線,還在白宮的官網上有一頁的活動介紹,但在文章最後寫到:“家長們,點擊這裏來了解下如何和孩子溝通該怎麼正確使用網絡,該宣傳冊由第一夫人梅拉妮婭川普和聯邦商務委員會共同起草。’

Later, in an apparent damage limitation exercise following a backlash on social media, the website's language was updated to describe the pamphlet as “a Federal Trade Commission booklet, promoted by First Lady Melania Trump”.

不久,輿論一片譁然,羣衆在各類社交媒體上紛紛抵制。然後白宮官網就把內容改成“由聯邦商務委員會起草,第一夫人梅拉妮婭進行宣傳。”

A White House official confirmed that the wording on the website had been changed, offering an explanation that “there seemed to be confusion so we wanted to be clear”.

一名白宮官員,確認網站上的措辭更改,並解釋“原來的版本容易引起誤會,這樣會更清楚。”

Visitors who click on the link are taken to a pdf file of a booklet that is almost identical to one first published by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in 2014 under the title: Net Cetera – Chatting with Kids About Being Online.

網站訪問者發現在2014年由聯邦商務委員會起草名爲:網上聊天-與孩子聊一聊在網上做些什麼,和本次活動的pdf格式的宣傳文件內容很相似。

The 2018 document, part of Melania's initiative unveiled in the White House rose garden on Monday, includes a preface accompanied by her photo and signature. “The lessons in this booklet can help kids act thoughtfully and kindly,” she writes.

週一在白宮花園梅拉妮婭發起了2018年的這項關於孩子們網絡安全的活動,在封面上有印有她的照片和簽名。“這個小冊子上的內容會給孩子們提供親切且富有意義的課程。”

But the following pages, full of advice for parents of “tweets” and “teens”, suggest her input was vanishingly small. They both include, “Talk to your teens about avoiding sex talk online,” and “Talk to your kids about bullying.” But the updated version has an addition: “Tell your kids to talk to you about bullying, too.”

但是隨後的內容,通篇都是給家長對於“推特”和“青少年”的建議,這就使得她前後說的不一致,對孩子們益處不大。2014年的那版和今年的這版上面都寫着:“和你十幾歲的孩子說,不要再網上談論和性有關的話題,還有“和你的小孩科普什麼事凌霸。”升級版多加了“也讓孩子們告訴你他認爲什麼事凌霸。”

The original FTC handbook has a heading that says: “Sexting.” The new handbook says: “Sexting: Don't Do It.”

原版的手冊標題,色情信息。新版本還寫成,色情信息:一定說不。

In the 2016 plagiarism row at the Republican convention, junior aide Meredith McIver eventually took responsibility for the error, saying that Melania had read passages of Michelle Obama's speeches to her over the phone and she had included some of the phrasing in the final draft.

關於2016年的共和黨發言抄襲事件,最後初級副手Meredith McIver最後背了這個鍋,稱梅拉妮婭在和電話溝通的時候,給她讀了米歇爾奧巴馬的發言,結果她最後就把發言的部分內容加到最後定稿中。
