A judge on Holland's Got Talent has sparked an outcry over a series of racist digs he directed at a Chinese contestant. 日前在荷兰“达人秀”节目中,一位评委因为接二连三对一位来自中国的参赛选手进行讽刺性调侃,遭到了很多网友的强烈抗议。
Cornelis Heuckeroth, who goes by the stage name of Gordon, mocked singer Xiao Wang's ethnicity before, during and after his performance. 这位原名叫 Cornelis Heuckeroth的评委艺名叫戈登,在这名来自中国的歌手汪潇在台上表演全程,一直讽刺嘲笑他的国籍种族。
" Which number are you singing? Number 39 with rice?" Heuckeroth asked Xiao after the contestant announced he was to sing an opera aria. 汪潇在上台后表示自己将演唱一曲歌剧咏叹调,戈登就问说:“你要唱第几号? 39号加米饭?(小编注:这是中式餐馆点餐用语)”
After Xiao performed La Donnaè Mobile from Verdi's Rigoletto, Heuckeroth said in a mock Chinese voice:" Surplise. Honestly, this is the best Chinese I've had in weeks. And it's not a takeaway." 汪潇表演完意大利作曲家威尔第的歌剧《弄臣》后,评委戈登就模仿中国人的发音说道:“ 惊喜啊!说真的,这是我这几周内见到(吃到)的最好的中国人(菜)了,还不是中餐馆外卖。”
Heuckeroth's remarks were met with a mixture of laughter and embarrassment by Xiao, judges Dan Karaty and Chantal Janzen, and the audience. 戈登的恶意调侃让现场笑声迭起,但也让参赛选手汪潇、另外两位评委丹·卡拉狄和尚塔尔·简森还有现场的观众尴尬不已。
" You really are not supposed to say things like that to people," Karaty was heard telling Heuckeroth after the show. " It's awful." 比赛结束后丹·卡拉狄也指责戈登说道:“你实在不应该对人说那样的话,太糟糕了。”
A YouTube Video of the incident posted online by the show's broadcaster RTL television went viral on the internet triggering an angry reaction. " Shocked to see that racist Holland's Got Talent video," tweeted@ RyMacleod. 荷兰 RTL电视台的该节目播出后,关于该种族歧视的事件的视频在传到 YouTube网站后迅速热传,引发了网友对此事件的愤怒回应。一位叫 RyMacleod的网友写道:“荷兰达人秀节目的这个种族歧视视频让我震惊了。”
A spokesman for Fremantle Media, which owns the ' Got Talent ' franchise, said that the company was looking into the matter but had no further comment until after speaking to the production team. “达人秀”节目的经营权属于英国节目制作商 Fremantle传媒,该公司的发言人表示公司已在调查此事件,但在与荷兰节目组进行沟通前,不会发表任何评论。
