Doug Christie wasn't expecting political intervention in North Korea
While Charles Smith apparently is having second thoughts about accompanying
Dennis Rodman and a handful of former NBA players to Pyongyang, North Korea,
for an exhibition game scheduled for Wednesday, Doug Christie didn't express
any such reservations during a brief cell phone conversation with his wife,
Jackie.
當Charles Smith在重新考慮是否要參加小蟲在北韓平壤的表演賽時，Doug Christie
在一段與老婆－Jackie Christie的簡短電話中表示自己沒有這樣的考量。
"We just talked for all of about three minutes because the phone line kept
going in and out," Jackie Christie said. "I don't even think they have the
Internet. But my husband made it clear when he was asked to play that he
wouldn't get into the politics of it. We know those guys. They all love to
play basketball. Doug trains athletes. That's what he does."
「因為訊號不良的關係，我們大概只講了三分鐘左右。我想他們那邊應該也沒有網路
可用。但我的小親親告訴我，他去那邊時不會涉入當地的政治。我認識那些人(去北韓
打表演賽的前NBA球員)，他們熱愛籃球。小親親會訓練球員，那就是他所做的。」
Jackie Christie說道。
Rodman organized the game as a birthday present for North Korea leader Kim
Jong Un, whom he refers to as a "friend" and has visited on other occasions.
Kenny Anderson, Sleepy Floyd, Vin Baker and Clifford Robinson accompanied
Rodman, Christie and Smith, a one-time president of the NBA Players
Association.
小蟲為了他的「好朋友」－北韓領導人金胖子的生日而籌畫了這場比賽，在之前小蟲
也拜訪過金胖子幾次。很多前球星跟小蟲一同前往。
But the trip - which was not sanctioned by the U.S. State Department nor
endorsed by the NBA or the Retired Players Association - has been heavily
criticized because of North Korea's human rights record. When CNN reporter
Chris Cuomo asked Rodman Tuesday if he planned to inquire about Kenneth Bae,
the American missionary who is being detained in North Korea on "anti-state"
charges, the former Detroit Pistons star erupted.
但是這趟北韓之行並未受到美國政府、NBA當局甚或是退休球員工會的認可，且因北韓
一直以來存在的人權問題而受到批評。當CNN記者Chris Cuomo問到小蟲有關於遭北韓拘
留的韓裔美籍傳教士Kenneth Bae(裴俊浩)相關問題時，小蟲爆怒惹。
"Do you understand what he did in his country?" Rodman responded, while
angrily pointing at the camera. "No, no, no, you tell me ... why? I would
love to speak on this."
「你知道他(裴俊浩)做了什麼嗎?不不不，你來告訴我嘛！為什麼啊！你要談這個，
我很樂意奉陪。」小蟲回應道。
Smith later told the Associated Press "I feel a lot of remorse for the guys,
because we are doing something positive, but it's a lot bigger than us. We
are not naive. We understand why things are being portrayed the way they are.
We're not skilled in those particular areas. Dennis is definitely not skilled
in those particular areas."
稍後，Smith告訴美聯社：「我為這些傢伙感到同情，因為我們正在做正確的事。我們
不是傻子，我們能理解為何這些事會被這樣解讀。在那些特殊領域中(政治)，我們並不
是那麼地了解擅長，尤其是小蟲。」
