Donald Trump Jr., the eldest son of US President Donald Trump, joined the choir of critics roasting the sportswear company by suggesting a design he says the company might like. It is unclear whether the proposed design would be favored by customers.
美國總統唐納德•川普的長子小唐納德•川普也加入了批評這家運動服裝公司(耐克)的行列,他提出了一個他認為該公司可能會喜歡的設計。目前還不清楚這一設想中的設計方案是否會受到消費者的青睞。
Donald Trump Jr. on Wednesday lashed out at sports apparel company Nike for its decision to discontinue a shoe model decorated with a Revolutionary War-era American flag designed by Betsy Ross.
小唐納德•川普周三猛烈抨擊了運動服裝品牌公司耐克做出的停止生產一款紀念性球鞋的決定,這款球鞋上的標識圖案是設計於美國獨立戰爭時期的「貝琪•羅斯旗」。
According to Trump Jr., if the company feels uncomfortable selling shoes with a US flag, they could opt instead for a design based on another revolution: a communism-themed red and yellow color scheme, decorated with the Nike logo, and stylized as a Soviet Hammer and Sickle.
根據小川普的說法,如果該公司在發售這款帶有舊時美國國旗標識的鞋子時惹得眾人不舒服,那麼它們可以選擇基於另一場革命的設計:以共產主義為主題的紅黃配色概念方案,並在原有的耐克標誌基礎上,將鞋子上的標識設計成蘇聯「錘子和鐮刀」的樣式。
「If the Betsy Ross Flag, the flag of the American Revolution, is too offensive for Nike to commemorate The 4th of July maybe Nike should go with this... seems to be more in line with their views,」 he tweeted.
「如果耐克用美國獨立戰爭時期的『貝琪•羅斯旗』紀念7月4日是冒犯行為,也許耐克應該採用這種方式……似乎更符合他們的觀點。」
His amusing quip comes as the company faces criticism for pulling what are now being referred to as 『Betsy Ross』 shoes over fears that the design may 「unintentionally offend」 some Americans. The decision came after a suggestion by ex-NFL quarterback and Nike brand representative Colin Kaepernick that the design invokes associations with the era of American slavery.
他這句逗人發笑的俏皮話出現之際,耐克公司正面臨外界的廣泛批評,因為擔心這種設計可能「無意中冒犯」了一些美國人,耐克隨後取消了這款現在被稱為「貝琪•羅斯旗」紀念款球鞋的發售。據悉,耐克這麼做的另一個原因是因為前美國職業橄欖球聯盟四分衛、曾經的耐克品牌代言人科林•卡佩尼克也曾提醒過它們,這一設計讓人聯想到美國奴隸時代。
「After images of the shoe were posted online, Mr. Kaepernick, a Nike endorser, reached out to company officials saying that he and others felt the Betsy Ross flag is an offensive symbol because of its connection to an era of slavery,」 The Wall Street Journal reported, citing people familiar with the matter.
《華爾街日報》援引知情人士的話報導稱,「在這款鞋的圖片被發布到網上後,耐克的代言人科林•卡佩尼克聯繫了該公司的高管,稱他和其他人覺得『貝琪•羅斯旗』是一種冒犯性的象徵,因為它與美國的奴隸時代有關。」
