On Monday, top US coach John Leonard questioned Chinese teen swimmer Ye Shiwen's record-breaking 400m swim as 'unbelievable' and 'disturbing'. Ye passed a drugs test, while angry Chinese supporters, including Shiwen's father, have hit back at 'the arrogance of the west'. Does Leonard owe Ye Shiwen an apology?
周一,美國(guó)隊(duì)總教練John Leonard質(zhì)疑中國(guó)女子游泳運(yùn)動(dòng)員葉詩(shī)文,認(rèn)為她400米的破紀(jì)錄之舉乃是令人不安且難以置信的。葉詩(shī)文此前已通過(guò)藥檢,而憤怒的中國(guó)支持者抨擊之前部分“西方媒體的狂妄自負(fù)”,其中就包括葉詩(shī)文的父親。如今葉詩(shī)文通過(guò)藥檢,Leonard是否該為其言論向葉詩(shī)文致歉呢?

以下為部分網(wǎng)友留言意見(jiàn):

TotallyBlunt:When I read about the American coach's comment, I didn't think arrogant West. I thought jealous and unable to accept competition.
“當(dāng)我讀到美國(guó)教練的評(píng)論時(shí),我認(rèn)為這不是西方的自大。他們?nèi)绱说脑u(píng)論僅是自私且不甘接受比賽結(jié)果的體現(xiàn)?!?/div>

Brownly:No. He doesn't need to make any special apology.Even though the girl's been cleared, the initial suspicion was fair. Though if asked about it, I hope Leonard will be gracious.
“不,Leonard他沒(méi)必要道歉。即便那名中國(guó)姑娘已經(jīng)證明其清白,之前的質(zhì)疑也還是公平的。就算Leonard先前質(zhì)疑過(guò),我也還是希望現(xiàn)在他能大度些?!?/div>

legaff:As I have said countless times over the past few days, what we are seeing is the investment the Chinese team made in the pool in the lead-up to Beijing (Sun Yang being another who has benefited from their investment). Ye Shiwen is the product of incredible work & scientific selection processes that the China team have been working toward for over a decade. Her performances simply must be applauded rather than doubted.If she wasn't Chinese, I am not sure Leonard would have made his comments public.
“之前幾天我就說(shuō)過(guò)無(wú)數(shù)次了,我們看到的是中國(guó)隊(duì)在北京的準(zhǔn)備期間,為他們的游泳項(xiàng)目大力投入(孫楊也是這些投入的另一受益者)。葉詩(shī)文的成功,是科學(xué)的選拔過(guò)程和艱苦努力的結(jié)果,中國(guó)隊(duì)為了這些成就已經(jīng)努力了十幾年。因此她的表現(xiàn)不應(yīng)被質(zhì)疑,而應(yīng)受到表?yè)P(yáng)。如果她不是中國(guó)人,我相信Leonard就不會(huì)那么公開(kāi)地進(jìn)行質(zhì)疑了?!?/div>

ddarko:I look forward to John Leonard questioning the legitimacy of 41-year-old American swimmer Dara Torres winning a silver medal in the 50m freestyle at the Beijing Olympics with a time that set an American record. I expect we'll never hear it.
“我很好奇John Leonard會(huì)不會(huì)質(zhì)疑北京奧運(yùn)期間41歲的美國(guó)運(yùn)動(dòng)員Dara Torres 50米自由泳奪取銀牌的合法性。那個(gè)時(shí)候Dara也破了美國(guó)記錄。我們應(yīng)該從來(lái)沒(méi)聽(tīng)過(guò)Leonard質(zhì)疑Dara吧!”
