近日,美國(guó)亞特蘭大的一起連環(huán)槍擊案造成8人死亡,其中6人為亞裔女性,這一事件引發(fā)了全美亞裔的恐慌。疫情暴發(fā)以來,亞裔美國(guó)人的處境急劇惡化。加州大學(xué)的研究發(fā)現(xiàn),推特上反亞裔標(biāo)簽使用量大增,起因就是特朗普去年3月發(fā)表的一條關(guān)于“中國(guó)病毒”的推文。
Then-President Donald Trump's first tweet about a "Chinese virus" triggered a rise in anti-Asian hashtags on Twitter, a study has found.
一項(xiàng)研究發(fā)現(xiàn),美國(guó)前總統(tǒng)特朗普關(guān)于“中國(guó)病毒”的第一條推文引發(fā)了推特上反亞裔標(biāo)簽使用量的劇增。
The peer-reviewed study, published Wednesday by researchers at the University of California at San Francisco, found that the March 16, 2020, tweet was directly responsible for a major increase in anti-Asian hashtags.
這項(xiàng)研究發(fā)現(xiàn),2020年3月16日的這條推文對(duì)于反亞裔標(biāo)簽數(shù)量大增負(fù)有直接責(zé)任。該研究是美國(guó)加州大學(xué)舊金山分校的研究人員開展的,由同行評(píng)議后于3月17日發(fā)表。
Trump went on to use the term repeatedly on Twitter and in person through the end of his presidency. At the time of his tweet, there were 153,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19 worldwide, and several US states had introduced emergency measures.
之后,特朗普又在推特上和公開場(chǎng)合反復(fù)多次使用“中國(guó)病毒”這個(gè)詞,一直到他任期結(jié)束。在他發(fā)布那條推文時(shí),世界范圍內(nèi)確診新冠肺炎病例15.3萬例,美國(guó)數(shù)個(gè)州已經(jīng)采取了緊急措施。
The researchers analyzed nearly 700,000 tweets that used either "#covid19" or "#chinesevirus" from March 9 to March 23. They said half of the tweets that used "#chinesevirus" and 20% of tweets that used "#covid19" showed anti-Asian sentiment.
研究人員分析了去年3月9日至23日期間使用#covid19或#中國(guó)病毒標(biāo)簽的近70萬條推文。研究報(bào)告稱,推特上半數(shù)使用了#中國(guó)病毒標(biāo)簽和五分之一使用了#covid19標(biāo)簽的人流露出反亞裔情緒。
"When comparing the week before March 16, 2020, to the week after, there was a significantly greater increase in anti-Asian hashtags associated with #chinesevirus compared with #covid19," they wrote.
研究人員寫道:“對(duì)比2020年3月16日的前后兩周,和#中國(guó)病毒相關(guān)的反亞裔標(biāo)簽比#covid19相關(guān)的反亞裔標(biāo)簽顯著增加?!?/p>
The use of terms like "Chinese virus" and "kung flu," which Trump publicly said at a rally in June, have come alongside a rise in racist sentiment toward Asians in the US.
去年6月,特朗普在一次集會(huì)上公開使用了“中國(guó)病毒”和“功夫流感”這種詞。伴隨這些用詞而來的是美國(guó)亞裔人群所遭受種族歧視的增加。
An Ipsos survey conducted in late April found that more than 30% of Americans said they had witnessed someone blaming people of Asian descent for the coronavirus pandemic. A study by the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California State University at San Bernardino found that attacks against Asians in the US increased by 150% in 2020.
益普索去年4月底開展的一項(xiàng)調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn),超30%的美國(guó)人表示曾目睹有人將新冠疫情歸咎于亞裔人群。圣貝納迪諾市加利福尼亞州立大學(xué)仇恨和極端主義研究中心的一項(xiàng)研究發(fā)現(xiàn),2020年針對(duì)美國(guó)亞裔人群的攻擊增加了150%。
Last July, John C. Yang, the president of Asian Americans Advancing Justice, told Insider that terms like kung flu resulted in physical and verbal abuse toward Asians.
去年7月,亞裔美國(guó)人推進(jìn)正義協(xié)會(huì)的主席楊重遠(yuǎn)告訴內(nèi)幕網(wǎng)稱,功夫流感等用詞導(dǎo)致了針對(duì)亞裔的辱罵和身體傷害。
"That term plays on a racist stereotype in itself and is being used to stigmatize a community regarding a medical issue that all of the world should be rallying around," Yang said.
楊重遠(yuǎn)指出:“這類包含種族成見的詞被用來污蔑亞裔人群,將全世界本應(yīng)集體聲援的醫(yī)療問題歸咎于這一人群。”
"We should not be trying to find terms that alienate communities and harms communities even further than the health crisis that we are already in."
“我們不應(yīng)該用那些離間和傷害群體的字眼,我們現(xiàn)在所處的衛(wèi)生危機(jī)帶來的傷害已經(jīng)夠大的了。”
At a congressional hearing on Thursday into the rising violence against Asian Americans, Rep. Grace Meng said Trump and other Republican Party figures had put a "a bull's-eye on the back of Asian Americans across this country."
針對(duì)亞裔美國(guó)人暴力事件激增,美國(guó)國(guó)會(huì)上周四(3月18日)舉行了聽證會(huì)。眾議員格蕾絲·孟表示,特朗普和其他共和黨人士對(duì)著“美國(guó)各地的亞裔美國(guó)人后背開了一槍”。
The issue of anti-Asian violence made headlines again last week after a white gunman shot dead eight people, six of whom were Asian, in the Atlanta area on Tuesday.
上周二(3月16日)一名持槍白人在亞特蘭大地區(qū)開槍殺死了8個(gè)人,其中6人為亞裔。反亞裔暴力問題因此再次登上了媒體頭條。
