一詞：Gucci要被種族歧視問題搞瘋了，於是專門僱了個新職位

battered['bætəd]

adj. 破舊的；弄垮的

Gucci has appointed a diversity chief as part of a drive to restore its batteredreputation after it was widely criticised for its use of racially charged and religiously insensitive designs.

古馳任命了一位多元化負責人，這是恢復其狼藉的名聲的運動的一部分。之前古馳由於使用被指控種族性和宗教敏感設計而廣受批評。

The appointment of Renée Tirado, who was previously the chief diversity and inclusion officer at Major League Baseball, is the latest in a series of steps taken by the Italian fashion house in response to a pair of incidents that prompted claims the problem came from a lack of ethnic minorities within the company.

對蕾妮·蒂拉多的任命是這個意大利時裝公司採取的系列舉措中的最新行動，以便迴應一系列事件引發的言論：問題來源於該公司內缺乏少數人種。蕾妮·蒂拉多此前是美國職業棒球大聯盟的多元化和包容性首席執行官。

In February it was forced to withdraw an $890 (£689) balaclava knit, part of the autumn/winter 2018 collection, which covered half of the wearer’s face and featured a cutout mouth with large red lips. Critics said that the polo neck, which was released during Black History Month in the US, resembled blackface.

二月，古馳被迫下架售價890美元（689英鎊）的巴拉克拉瓦羊毛衫。這件羊毛衫是2018秋冬系列的一部分，遮住半臉，特色是嘴巴開口上的大紅脣。批評家稱這件在美國黑人歷史月發佈的高領衫酷似黑臉。

In the same month, the Milan-based brand announced it would hire global and regional directors for diversity and inclusion, as well as launching a multicultural design scholarship programme, a diversity and inclusion awareness programme and a global exchange programme.

同月，古馳宣佈將僱傭全球和地區多元化及包容主管，並推出多文化設計獎學金項目、多元化及包容意識項目和全球交流項目。

But in May Gucci was again under fire again, this time for a £790 headpiece that resembled a turban, a piece from the same collection as the balaclava. The US-based Sikh Coalition said on Twitter that the turban is “not just a fashion accessory, but … also a sacred religious article of faith”.

但是五月，古馳又成爲衆矢之的。這次是售價790英鎊的頭部飾品，與包頭巾十分相似，這件飾品與巴拉克拉瓦羊毛衫是同個系列的。美國的錫克聯盟在推特上稱，包頭巾”不僅僅是時尚配件，而且也是神聖的宗教信仰物品。”

In a video released previously, Tirado said that part of her work will be “bringing new conversations in”, such as: “How are we doing with the workforce diversity agenda? How can we bring more diverse people into not only Gucci, but the fashion industry more broadly? How do we provide a level playing field for those new employees to compete and be the future leaders of the industry?”

在之前發佈的一個視頻中，蒂拉多稱，她的部分工作是“引進新的談話”，比如“我們如何進行全體員工多元性日程？我們如何引進更多多元化人才？不僅是在古馳，還是在更廣的時裝行業。我們如何爲新員工提供公平競爭的平臺，讓他們也能成爲這個行業未來的領軍者？”

Her work will also, she said, be building on existing initiatives, such as the Changemakers programme announced in March, a “community fund and scholarship programme for North America alongside a global volunteering programme”.

她說她的工作也將以現有的倡議爲基礎，比如三月宣佈的“變革者”項目，“北美社羣資金和獎學金計劃以及全球志願者項目”。
