涉嫌辱华NBA球员雷迪克正式发文道歉

Philadelphia 76ers star J.J. Redick defended himself on Sunday after the emergence of a video in which he appeared to use a racial slur to address NBA fans in China.

费城76人队球星Redick面对中国NBA球迷演讲中使用了种族性侮辱语言，在该视频流出后，周天他替自己辩护。

In an online video compilation of NBA players sending seasonal greetings to fans celebrating Chinese New Year, Redick appears to refer to "chink" fans.

在一次NBA球员的在线视频汇编中，球员们向庆祝农历新年的球迷们致以节日的问候，Redick似乎指的是“chink”“球迷。（而chink是对中国人的一种侮辱词汇。）

I just want to wish all of the NBA chink fans in China, a very happy Chinese New Year, the 33-year-old says.

这名33岁的球员说：“我希望NBA的所有来自中国的chink球迷们过个开心的春节。”

Redick responded to the controversy on Twitter early Sunday, blaming a verbal slip for his use of the word.

周日早上，Redick在推特上回应了这个争议，将他使用的这个词归咎为口误。

Just saw a video that is being circulated of me wishing a happy new year to NBA fans in China, Redick wrote.

Redick写道：“我刚看了一个直播视频是关于我向中国NBA球迷们祝福新年的。”

Clearly I was tongue tied, as the word I purportedly said is not in my vocabulary. I’m disappointed that anyone would think I would use that word.I love and respect our friends in China."

“很明显我这是舌头打结出现的口误，我能想到的词汇无法表达出我本来想说的话。有人却认为我说了那个词，我对此十分失望。”“我热爱并尊重我们的中国朋友们。”

Redick joined the 76ers this season, the latest stop on a career that has included previous spells with the Orlando Magic, Milwaukee Bucks and Los Angeles Clippers.

雷迪克本赛季加入了76人队，职业生涯的最新一站，之前一段是在奥兰多魔术队，密尔沃基雄鹿队和洛杉矶快船队。
