这里是今日热点节目。
Ryan Lochte's name stayed in the news this week, two days after the closing ceremony of the Rio de Janeiro Summer Olympics.
在里约夏季奥运会闭幕式两天之后,瑞安·罗切特(Ryan Lochte)的名字本周继续留在新闻之中。

Lochte is the American swimmer who did not tell the truth about being robbed early one morning during the Rio Games.
罗切特是一名美国游泳运动员。他没有说出奥运期间某个清晨被打劫的真相。

Four of Lochte's sponsors said they would no longer support him. Two of the sponsors are well-known companies, Speedo and Ralph Lauren.
罗切特的四家赞助商表示,他们不会继续赞助他。其中两家赞助商为知名公司速比涛和拉夫劳伦。

Speedo makes swimwear, including the suits many swimmers wore in the Olympics. Ralph Lauren made the clothing Team USA athletes wore during the opening and closing ceremonies in Rio de Janeiro.
速比涛生产泳衣,包括许多运动员在奥运会上穿着的套装。拉夫劳伦生产了运动员在里约奥运开幕式和闭幕式期间穿着的美国队队服。

Many companies pay money so athletes will wear their clothing, use their equipment and appear in their advertisements.
许多公司出资让运动员穿着他们的服装,使用他们的设备并现身在他们的广告之中。

Lochte got into trouble for saying he and three teammates were robbed when men posing as police officers stopped his taxi.
罗切特陷入困境是因为声称冒充警察的男子挡停了他的出租车抢劫了他和三名队友。

But after the Rio de Janeiro police investigated the incident, it turned out that Lochte was not telling the truth. Video cameras at a gas station showed Lochte and his teammates getting into an argument with armed security guards.
但是在里约警方调查这起事件之后,事实证明罗切特并没有说实话。一家加油站的监控视频显示,罗切特和他的队友与武装保安陷入了争吵。

Lochte and his teammates explained that they were asked to pay money for damaging property at the gas station.
罗切特和他的队友解释说,他们被要求赔偿在加油站损坏的财物。

But the explanation came many days after the first story they told.
但是这一解释是在他们最初说法的很多天之后才冒出来的。

In an interview, Lochte said the incident and his behavior tarnished the Rio de Janeiro Olympics "a little."
罗切特在接受采访时表示,这起事件和他的行为“略微”玷污了里约奥运会。

Speedo said it would donate $50,000 to a charity that supports children.
速比涛表示该公司将会向一家儿童慈善机构捐出5万美元。

The other sponsors that ended their connection with Lochte were a hair removal company and a Japanese company that makes mattresses.
同罗切特结束合作的其它赞助商包括一家脱毛公司和一家制造床垫的日本公司。

Sponsors can usually end their deals with an athlete if he or she behaves badly.
如果运动员行为恶劣,赞助商通常可以终止同他(她)的赞助协议。

Many people on Facebook and Twitter reacted to the news. They said the moral of the Lochte story is: take responsibility for your actions, however embarrassing they may be.
Facebook和推特上有很多用户对该新闻作出了回应。他们表示,罗切特这一新闻的寓意就是,对自己的行为负责,然而这可能会尴尬。

Others said people should remember "what you do in the present affects your future."
还有人说,人们应该记住,“你现在的所作所为会影响你的未来。”
