加拿大广播公司为辱骂中国游泳选手道歉

Canada’s national broadcaster issued an on-air and online apology last night after one of its commentators said a Chinese swimmer at the Rio Olympics “died like a pig” when she lost a race.

昨晚，里约奥运会上中国游泳小将比赛失利后，一名加拿大解说员辱骂该运动员“像头死猪”。加拿大广播公司随后通过电视和网络进行了道歉。

Following the women’s 4 x 200m freestyle relay final, CBC commentator Byron MacDonald, who thought his microphone was off, said: “The little 14-year-old from China dropped the ball, baby. Too excited, went out like stink, died like a pig. Thanks for that.”

在女子4×200米自由泳接力决赛后，加拿大广播公司解说员拜伦•麦克唐纳以为他的麦克风已经关掉，私下评论说：“来自中国的14岁小将发生了失误，哈哈。太兴奋了，她拼命地从水里爬出来，像死猪一样。多亏了她。”

The incident immediately caused outrage online with watchers tweeting their disbelief at the comments by MacDonald, a 1972 Olympian and swimming coach at the University of Toronto, and called for the him to lose his job.

观众不敢相信麦克唐纳居然作出此种评论，纷纷在推特发声，该事件立即在网上引起众怒。麦克唐纳是1972年奥运会的参赛选手，现任多伦多大学游泳教练。人们要求将他辞退。

The CBC moved quickly, responding to offended users on Twitter with personal apologies. Scott Russell, another CBC commentator, issued an on-air apology for MacDonald’s remarks.
