被观众嫌胖 美国女主播公开强势回应

2012-12-05来源:nydailynews
"The truth is, I am overweight," she said. "But to the person who wrote me that letter, do you think I don't know that? You don't know me ... so you know nothing about me but what you see on the outside and I am much more than a number on a scale."
“事实上,我确实超重了,” 她说,“但是,写信给我的人,你觉得我自己会不知道吗?你不了解我,所以除了能从外表看到的以外,你对我一无所知,我远远不只是秤上的一个数字。”

Livingston used the personal attack to send a public message about bullying, noting that October is National Anti-Bullying Awareness Month.
利文斯顿利用这次人身攻击的机会,向公众传递了一条关于恃强凌弱的信息,提醒人们十月是“全国反欺凌宣传月”。

"That man's words mean nothing to me, but really angers me about this is there are children who don't know better — who get emails as critical as the one I received or in many cases, even worse, each and every day," she said, adding that children often learn bullying from their parents.
“那个人的话对我没有任何意义,但真正让我气愤的是,有些还不懂得这些的孩子,他们会收到同样这些批评的邮件,很多情况下甚至更糟,这种情况每天都会发生。” 她补充说孩子们常常从父母那里学会欺凌。

"To all of the children out there who feel lost, who are struggling with your weight, with the color of your skin, your sexual preference, your disability, even the acne on your face, listen to me right now," Livingston continued.
“所有不知所措的孩子们,所有因为自己的体重、肤色、性取向、残疾,甚至因为脸上的粉刺而痛苦挣扎的孩子们,现在听我说。” 利文斯顿继续说。

"Do not let your self-worth be defined by bullies. Learn from my experience, that the cruel words of one are nothing compared to the shouts of many."
“不要让你的自我价值被恃强凌弱者定义。要从我的经历中学会:相比于很多人的呐喊,一个人说出的残忍字眼算不了什么。”
