https://reurl.cc/VWQ66y 作者:Joe Vardon Lakers star LeBron James did not write article that carried his name in Chinese paper: Sources LeBron James recently toured China for the 15th time as a signature Nike athlete, promoting his shoes and clothing apparel for the sporting goods conglomerate. LeBron James最近作为Nike旗下的运动员进行了他在中国的第15次巡回，为这个运动用品 企业宣传他的鞋子及衣服。 And, as is customary when any NBA star goes to the world’s second-largest country, with a population of 1.4 billion, to promote either the game or his shoe, James was complimentary. However, when multiple news reports stated on Monday that James had written an essay for a Communist, state-controlled daily news outlet, it sparked criticism in Hong Kong and the U.S. 就如同任何NBA球星前往全球第二大、拥有14亿人口的国家推广比赛或鞋款，James如同惯 例的给予赞美。然而，当多家新闻报导在周一指出James为一家共产党所掌控的国营日报撰 写了一篇文章时，这在香港和美国引发了批评。 However, despite James’ name being attached to the story, two sources close to James confirmed that he did not submit an essay to the People’s Daily. Instead, he conducted group interviews with reporters in the two cities he visited. Those sources stated that the words attributed to James in the article were accurate, but they were not exclusive to any news outlet. They were not submitted to anyone as an essay or opinion editorial. 然而，尽管James的名字被附在该报导上，两位与James亲近的消息人士证实，他并没有向 人民日报提交任何文章。相反地，他在造访的两个城市中接受了记者的集体采访。这些消 息人士表示，文章中引用的话确实出自James，但并非专属於任何一家媒体，也不是以文章 或专栏形式提交的。 Instead, comments made by the Los Angeles Lakers star in group settings throughout his Chinese tour last week, to Shanghai and Chengdu, were printed in Mandarin by the newspaper. At the bottom of the article, according to three Chinese translators advising The Athletic, it refers to James as the “ author,” but also states that James was interviewed — and the piece was edited — by a reporter from People’s Daily. 实际上，这些来自洛杉矶湖人球星在上周中国巡回(上海与成都)期间於公开访谈场合的言 论，被该报翻译成中文刊出。根据三位协助The Athletic的中文翻译者所述，文章底部将 James标注为作者，但同时也写明James接受了访问，而内容经过人民日报记者编辑。 “Basketball is not only a sport — it is a bridge that connects us,” James said, as printed by People’s Daily. He then, according to the report, recalled a female Chinese basketball player, Niu Ziwei, whom he said he met on a 2012 tour of China, and said he saw her again on this tour. "篮球不仅仅是个运动--他是连结我们之间的桥梁"James在人民日报刊出的文字中说道。他 接着回忆起一位名叫Niu Ziwei的中国女篮球员，并表示自己曾在 2012 年的中国巡回时认 识了她，而这次巡回又再次见到了她。 “I felt truly honored, and also more aware of my responsibility to help promote sports exchanges,” James said, according to People’s Daily. “I have three children of my own and I know how basketball can inspire generation after generation to chase their dreams. Seeing so many young people in China who love basketball, I hope I can also contribute to the development of the game here.” "据人民日报报导，James 表示:'我感到非常荣幸，同时也更加意识到自己在促进体育交流 方面的责任。我自己有三个孩子，我知道篮球如何能够一代又一代地激励人们追逐梦想。 看到这麽多年轻人在中国热爱篮球，我希望我也能为这项运动在这里的发展做出贡献。'" This trip was James’ first to China since October 2019, when he and the Lakers went to Shanghai for preseason games against the Brooklyn Nets just as an international controversy was erupting between the Chinese government and the NBA over a social media post by then-Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey, who supported Hong Kong protestors in his post. 这是James自2019年10月以来首次访问中国。当时他与湖人队一同前往上海，进行与篮网队 的热身赛，而此时正值时任休士顿火箭总经理Daryl Morey因在社交媒体发文支持香港抗议 者，引发中国政府与NBA的国际争议。 In response, the Chinese government banned NBA games from the country’s television airwaves for several years. In 2022, commissioner Adam Silver stated that the fallout had cost the league “hundreds of millions of dollars. ” 作为回应，中国政府将NBA比赛从电视转播中全面禁播，持续了数年。2022 年，联盟总裁 Adam Silver表示，这场风波让联盟损失了"数亿美元"。 The Lakers and Nets were essentially confined to their hotel rooms for days as the controversy escalated. 当时湖人与篮网球员因争议升温几乎被限制数日只能待在饭店里。 When the Lakers returned home, James ripped Morey for his post, calling him “ misinformed” and saying Morey was “not educated on the situation.” James’ production company was working on “Space Jam: A New Legacy” at the time — a major motion picture that was not released in mainland China. 湖人返美後，James批评Morey的发文，称他"被误导"且"对情况不了解"。值得一提的是， 当时James的制作公司正在筹备电影Space Jam: A New Legacy，而该片最终并未在中国大 陆上映。 James, 40, will play his 23rd NBA season starting in October. The Phoenix Suns and Nets will play two exhibition games in China — on Oct. 10 and 12 — in the first NBA games held there since the Lakers and Nets arrived six years ago, amid the Morey controversy. James现年40岁，将於今年10月展开他的第23个NBA赛季。太阳与篮网则将於10月10日与12 日在中国进行两场表演赛，这也是自六年前在Morey争议下湖人与篮网的热身赛後第一次在 中国打比赛。 “The basketball atmosphere in China has always amazed me,” James said, as published by the People’s Daily. “Each time I come here, my family and I receive such a warm welcome. The kindness and enthusiasm of my Chinese friends leave me deeply touched. "中国的篮球氛围一直让我惊叹，"James在人民日报刊出的文字中说道。"每次来到这里， 我和我的家人都会受到热情的欢迎。中国朋友们的善意与热情深深打动了我。" “What I can do in return is to give my all in every single game, as my way of saying thank you.” "我所能做的回报，就是在每一场比赛中全力以赴，这是我表达谢意的方式。" 其实重点好像就短短那段 Vardon能掰的那麽长也是很厉害 --
