Marlins manager Ozzie Guillen is quoted in a recent issue of Time magazine as
saying that he has “love” for Cuban dictator Fidel Castro and respects that
he’s been able to maintain power for so long.
最新一期"時代雜誌"，刊登了馬林魚總教練Ozzie Guillen發表對古巴獨裁者卡斯楚
「有愛」的言論，並且對他掌權這麼久帶有敬意。
Those thoughts obviously aren’t sitting well in Miami — a city with many
Cuban descendants — and so a cleanup campaign has been put in motion.
這樣的言論當然會讓有不少古巴後裔的邁阿密居民坐立難安，所以球隊也必須立刻
發表澄清聲明。
Guillen held a closed-door meeting with beat writers on Saturday night,
according to the Associated Press, and offered this: “I will apologize if I
hurt somebody’s feelings, or I hurt somebody’s thought. I want them to know
I’m against everything 100 percent – I repeat it again – the way this man
(been) treating people for the last 60 years.”
根據美聯社的報導：Guillen在星期六晚上招開了閉門記者會，發表以下聲明：「假如
我傷害了某些人的感受或想法，我願意在此道歉。我想要讓他們知道：我百分之百
反對那個人過去60年以來對待人民的方式。」
The Marlins, meanwhile, have issued a statement: “There is nothing to
respect about Fidel Castro. He is a brutal dictator who has caused
unthinkable pain for more than 50 years. We live in a community filled
with victims of this dictatorship, and the people in Cuba continue to
suffer today.”
馬林魚也在同時發佈聲明稿：「他（Guillen）對卡斯楚絕對沒有帶任何一點敬意，
因為卡斯楚是一個殘忍的獨裁者，並在這五十年間造成無法想像的傷害。我們住在
一個充滿這樣專政下犧牲者的社群中，而那些在古巴的人民到今日仍在受苦。」
However Ozzie’s original comments to Time magazine came about, he clearly
doesn’t stand behind them. And this certainly isn’t the first time Guillen
has had a scatter-brained opinion about something.
然而，Ozzie在時代雜誌的訪談原文中，就已經很清楚的表明並不支持那些獨裁者（
包括他母國委內瑞拉的查維茲）。而這明顯也不是Guillen第一次說出如此無腦的
言論。
But you have to wonder how this all is affecting the way Guillen is being
viewed in south Florida. The team that employs him, after all, just opened a
new ballpark in a neighborhood called “Little Havana.”
但你們可能會好奇這件事情會如何影響南佛州人對Guillen的評價。畢竟，這隻聘用他
的球隊，不久前才在一個叫做「小哈瓦那（古巴首都）」的社區裡啟用新球場呢！
