進入《中英對照讀新聞》Alves slams ’backward’ Spain over banana taunt 艾維斯為香蕉羞辱事件抨擊西班牙「落後」
◎俞智敏
Although Dani Alves has been pleasantly surprised by the worldwide support he has received since being racially taunted, the Barcelona defender took a shot a Spain by labeling the country "backward" in its fight against racism.
雖然足球明星艾維斯對於遭到種族歧視羞辱後反獲全球聲援感到驚喜，但這位巴塞隆納隊的後衛仍對西班牙提出批評，直稱西國在與種族主義的對抗中仍然「落後」。
Alves, a Brazilian who is black, was about to take a corner during a Spanish league match when a Villarreal fan threw a banana at him. Alves picked it up, peeled it and ate some of it before throwing the rest aside.
身為巴西黑人的艾維斯是在西班牙足球聯賽的一場比賽中正準備開角球時，對手比亞雷亞爾隊一名球迷竟朝他丟了一根香蕉。艾維斯拿起香蕉、剝開香蕉皮吃了幾口，才把剩下的香蕉丟開。
Football players, celebrities and politicians soon flooded social media sites with pictures of themselves eating bananas in support of Alves.
足球明星、名人和政治人物隨即在社交媒體上貼出自己吃香蕉的照片支持艾維斯。
Villarreal has since banned the offending spectator for life and condemned his behavior, but it did not announce any further sanctions. Alves said the response was typical of Spain, where attitudes to racism have been lax.
比亞雷亞爾隊後來決定這名球迷終生不得到球場觀賽並對其行為表示譴責，但未再宣布任何其他處罰措施。艾維斯說，這種反應在西班牙很常見，因為西班牙人對種族歧視的態度很隨便。
"In many ways they are still very backward. There’s prejudice against foreigners and because of race and color. It’s something that has happened to other colleagues of mine before."
「在很多方面他們仍然非常落後。他們常因種族和膚色而對外國人有偏見。這種事也曾發生在其他球員身上。」
Alves said if he had it his way, he would post the Villarreal spectator’s picture on the internet to shame him.
艾維斯說，假如能照他的想法去做，他會把這名比亞雷亞爾隊球迷的照片貼到網路上，讓他覺得丟臉。
Alves is not the first player in Spain to be targeted with racial abuse. Real Madrid defender Marcelo, who is also Brazilian, was recently greeted with monkey chants by a section of Atletico Madrid fans this season.
艾維斯並非首位在西國遭以種族歧視語言羞辱的球員。巴西的皇家馬德里隊後衛馬塞洛本季也曾被馬德里競技隊的少數球迷用學猴叫的方式嘲弄。
