英語(yǔ)新聞丨直播帶貨主播為直播間不當(dāng)言論道歉

China's top online sales host Li Jiaqi apologized on Monday after he blamed viewers who found the price of an eyebrow pen expensive, that they were not working hard enough to make more money during a live-streaming session.

9月10日，中國(guó)頂級(jí)直播帶貨主播李佳琦因在一次直播中指責(zé)觀眾覺(jué)得眉筆價(jià)格昂貴，是因?yàn)檎J(rèn)為他們沒(méi)有努力工作賺更多的錢(qián)的言論而道歉。

Li, the famed "Lipstick King" who has about 75.76 million followers on Taobao Live, Alibaba's live-streaming platform, was making a pitch about an eyebrow pen on Saturday evening. He then read out a comment from a viewer saying the product including two refills priced at 79 yuan ($10.8) has become more expensive.

李佳琦是著名的“口紅一哥”，在阿里巴巴旗下的直播平臺(tái)淘寶直播上擁有約7576萬(wàn)粉絲。他在直播中讀了一名觀眾的評(píng)論，稱這款售價(jià)79元（10.8美元）的產(chǎn)品（包括兩支筆芯）變得更貴了。

Li seemed to be upset about the comment and said the price of the product has remained unchanged over the years.

李似乎對(duì)這一評(píng)論感到不滿，并表示該產(chǎn)品的價(jià)格多年來(lái)一直未變。

"The product is expensive? Sometimes people need to find the reasons why they haven't received a pay rise after working so many years. Have they worked hard enough?" he said.

他回答道：“哪里貴了？有的時(shí)候自己原因好吧，這么多年了工資漲沒(méi)漲，有沒(méi)有認(rèn)真工作。”

Many people then said Li's comments were inappropriate and had made them angry. The topic of his comment became one of the most discussed topics on social media on Sunday.

隨后，許多人認(rèn)為李佳琦言論不妥，令他們感到憤怒。有關(guān)他這一言論的話題成為9月10日社交媒體上討論度最高的話題之一。

"The consumers have the right to question the price of a product, but Li has no right to judge the consumers and slash out on people's spending power. What he said was outrageous," a Sina Weibo user said on Sunday.

“消費(fèi)者有權(quán)質(zhì)疑產(chǎn)品的價(jià)格，但李佳琦無(wú)權(quán)評(píng)判消費(fèi)者，質(zhì)疑人們的消費(fèi)能力。他說(shuō)的話太離譜了?！币晃恍吕宋⒉┯脩?0日評(píng)價(jià)道。

Others also said that as someone who had made a fortune by being a celebrated online sales host, Li may find 79 yuan is next to nothing but for many working-class people who have been working very hard for a better life, every penny counts. And Li's snobbish attitude has shocked them.

還有人說(shuō)，作為一個(gè)靠做帶貨直播發(fā)家致富的人，李佳琦可能會(huì)覺(jué)得79元錢(qián)不算什么，但對(duì)于許多為改善生活而辛勤工作的工薪階層來(lái)說(shuō)，每一分錢(qián)都很重要。而他的勢(shì)利態(tài)度讓他們感到震驚。

Around 1 am on Monday, Li published a statement on social media apologizing for his comments and making people disappointed.

11日凌晨1點(diǎn)左右，李佳琦在社交媒體上發(fā)表聲明，為自己的言論和讓人們失望的行為道歉。

"I am sorry for letting people down. I've made some inappropriate comments that have made people unconformable," Li said in the statement.

他說(shuō)道：“在看這條微博的所有人，對(duì)不起。昨天我在直播間回應(yīng)產(chǎn)品評(píng)論時(shí)，說(shuō)了些不恰當(dāng)、讓大家不舒服的話?！?/p>

He added that he started his career as a cosmetic sales assistant, so he understands people's struggles. He also vowed to learn to better control his emotions in the future.

“我本就是一個(gè)彩妝柜臺(tái)銷售員，深知大家的工作都是辛苦和不容易的。我作為主播應(yīng)該一直帶給大家積極的正能量，并學(xué)會(huì)控制情緒。”
