CNN辟谣:波士顿马拉松爆炸案的五大谣言

2013-04-18来源:CNN

Young girl died at finish line
小女孩在终点线遇难

Another heart-wrenching image of a supposed victim went viral. In this one, a young girl running in a road race is pictured, with text saying she died in one of the blasts. As an added cruel twist, the post says she was "running for the Sandy Hook victims."
另一张据称是受害者的图片也在网上大量传播,这张照片令人心碎。照片中一名小女孩在跑步,文字描述称她死于波士顿爆炸案的其中一起爆炸中,甚至还称,她是为了去年底的桑迪胡克校园枪击案遇难者而参加波士顿马拉松的。那次枪击案导致20名小学生死亡,在美国全国掀起控枪大讨论。

But a quick look at the photo shows that her runner's bib is from the Joe Cassella 5K in Great Falls, Virginia. Also, the Boston Marathon does not allow runners that young.
但仔细看看照片就可以发现,她的胸牌上写着,她参加的是弗吉尼亚州大瀑布城的乔-卡塞拉5公里跑。此外,据悉波士顿马拉松并不允许这么小的选手参赛。

On Google+, one of the users who shared the image followed it with "poor little girl..got killed in boston..):" By Tuesday, it had more than 500 comments and had become a "What's Hot" post on the site -- appearing in the feeds of all users who haven't turned off that feature.
一名用户在Google+分享这张图片,加上了文字描述:“可怜的小女孩,在波士顿遇难”。至16日,它已有500个评论,入选热门贴子,并出现在所用订阅用户的推送中。

On Tuesday, organizers of that race shot down the tale on their Facebook account. "We would like to clarify that the picture circulating on the web and Twitter of a little girl wearing a Joe Cassella 5K bib claiming to have been killed at the Boston marathon is being used fraudulently," read the page for the Joe Cassella Foundation. The group raises funds for the families of children who are ill in the Washington area.
4月16日,乔-卡塞拉基金会也出面辟谣:“我们想澄清一下,在网络和Twitter上传播的一张戴着乔-卡塞拉5公里跑胸牌的女孩跑步的图片被错误使用。” 该慈善组织为在华盛顿地区生病孩子的家庭筹集款项。
