被觀衆嫌胖 美國女主播公開強勢迴應
A local news anchor took the air Tuesday to blast a viewer who attacked her for being overweight。
一位地方新聞主播在週二的播報新聞時，強勢迴應了之前寫信攻擊她身材超重的觀衆。Jennifer Livingston of WKBT in La Crosse, Wis., slammed the viewer on-air after he wrote in to complain that Livingston wasn't "a suitable example for this community's young people, girls in particular" because of her size。
詹妮弗·利文斯頓是來自威斯康辛州拉克羅斯市WKBT電視臺主播，她在直播新聞時回擊這位觀衆，因爲他之前來信批評，因爲利文斯頓她的身材過胖，所以她不是“這哥社會上年輕人，尤其是女孩們的好榜樣”。"I was surprised indeed to witness that your physical condition hasn't improved for many years," the viewer wrote in the email titled "Community Responsibility."
“看到這幾年來你的身體狀況都沒有得到改善，我實在很驚訝。” 這位觀衆在標題爲“社會責任”的電子郵件中寫道。
"I leave you this note hoping that you'll reconsider your responsibility as a local public personality to present and promote a healthy lifestyle."
“我給你寫這封信是希望你能多加考慮自己作爲一個地方公衆人物的職責所在——呈現並提倡健康的生活方式” 。The letter quickly went viral after her husband, fellow WKBT anchor Mike Thompson posted it to his Facebook page Friday, telling followers that it made him "sick to his stomach."
利文斯頓的丈夫邁克·湯普森也是一位新聞主播，兩人同在WKBT電視臺工作，星期五他將這封信貼到臉書的主頁後，迅速在網絡上流傳開來。他告訴關注者這封信讓他“從心底裏感到噁心”。WKBT TV anchor Jennifer Livingston got this letter from a viewer and used it to highlight bullying about weight and other issues on her show。
利文斯頓從一位觀衆那裏收到了這封信，在節目中，她提到這封信，並強調要人們要敢於直面對體重人羣和其他社會問題的欺凌現象。On Tuesday, Livingston thanked the "hundreds" of people who have supported her — a response she called "truly inspiring" — before taking on her attacker。
星期二的節目中，利文斯頓在回擊批評她的觀衆前，感謝了數百位支持她的人們，她表示這些人的支持是“真正鼓舞人心”的迴應。"The truth is, I am overweight," she said. "But to the person who wrote me that letter, do you think I don't know that? You don't know me ... so you know nothing about me but what you see on the outside and I am much more than a number on a scale."
“事實上，我確實超重了，” 她說，“但是，寫信給我的人，你覺得我自己會不知道嗎？你不瞭解我，所以除了能從外表看到的以外，你對我一無所知，我遠遠不只是秤上的一個數字。”Livingston used the personal attack to send a public message about bullying, noting that October is National Anti-Bullying Awareness Month。
利文斯頓利用這次人身攻擊的機會，向公衆傳遞了一條關於恃強凌弱的信息，提醒人們十月是“全國反欺凌宣傳月”。"That man's words mean nothing to me, but really angers me about this is there are children who don't know better — who get emails as critical as the one I received or in many cases, even worse, each and every day," she said, adding that children often learn bullying from their parents。
“那個人的話對我沒有任何意義，但真正讓我氣憤的是，有些還不懂得這些的孩子，他們會收到同樣這些批評的郵件，很多情況下甚至更糟，這種情況每天都會發生。” 她補充說孩子們常常從父母那裏學會欺凌。"To all of the children out there who feel lost, who are struggling with your weight, with the color of your skin, your sexual preference, your disability, even the acne on your face, listen to me right now," Livingston continued。
“所有不知所措的孩子們，所有因爲自己的體重、膚色、性取向、殘疾，甚至因爲臉上的粉刺而痛苦掙扎的孩子們，現在聽我說。” 利文斯頓繼續說。"Do not let your self-worth be defined by bullies. Learn from my experience, that the cruel words of one are nothing compared to the shouts of many."
“不要讓你的自我價值被恃強凌弱者定義。要從我的經歷中學會：相比於很多人的吶喊，一個人說出的殘忍字眼算不了什麼。”
