Lou Williams, Mike Scott, Moe Harkless rip Michael Porter Jr. for
controversial tweet
Lou Williams，Mike Scott，跟Moe Harkless因為爭議推特文罵Michael Porter Jr.
Denver Nuggets rookie Michael Porter Jr. is in some hot water right now after
sending out a controversial tweet wherein he seems to be defending the
Minnesota cops involved in the recent death of George Floyd.
金塊Michael Porter Jr因為對於最近因為明尼蘇達警察暴力導致George Floyd死亡的事件
發了爭議推特文，似乎在替警察說話後，現在處在被圍剿的狀況。
Porter has not only gotten on the bad side on more than a few folks on social
media, but he has also been called out by a number of NBA veterans as well,
including Los Angeles Clippers sixth man extraordinaire Lou Williams, Mike
Scott of the Philadelphia 76ers and New York Knicks swingman Moe Harkless.
Porter在社群媒體上被很多人當成壞人，現在也被一些NBA老將指責，包括快艇第六人Lou
Williams，76人Mike Scott跟尼克搖擺人Moe Harkless。
For starters, here is Michael Porter Jr.’s original tweet:
Michael Porter Jr.的推特文是這樣的：
Porter推特連結：https://tinyurl.com/ycdu3eae
"As much as you pray for George family, gotta also pray for the police
officer(s) who were involved in this evil. As hard as it is, pray for them
instead of hate them...Pray that God changes their hearts."
「正當大家在替George一家人祈禱的同時，也應該要替牽涉到這次這麼邪惡事件的警察人
員祈禱。不要怨恨他們，相反地要替他們祈禱，這很難...祈禱上帝可以改變他們的心。」
Both Williams and Scott disapprove of Porter’s message:
Williams跟Scott對於Porter的文都很不滿：

"Na"
「不對。」
Scott推特連結：https://tinyurl.com/ybbjvtj8
"Hell nawl"
「見鬼了，這不對」
As for Harkless, he believes someone should talk some sense into Porter:
而Harkless認為有人應該要去跟Porter講講道理：

"Somebody talk to their rook please"
「金塊要有人去跟他們的菜鳥聊一下，拜託。」
Porter is a Christian, and the fact that his Twitter bio reads “God first
always” seems to indicate that he is religious. This is perhaps where his
statement is coming from here, as he asks for prayers and guidance for the
cops who were, as Porter put it, influenced by “evil.”
Porter是個基督徒，實際上他的推特說明上寫著"上帝永遠優先"(God First Always)似乎
也指出他是有信教的。這或許也是他寫的原因，因為他要求要給那些涉入這場事件的警
察，他也在推特上寫著被"邪惡"(evil)影響的警察，希望給他們祈禱並且指引。
We somewhat get what Porter is trying to say here, but there’s no denying
that the timing of his message is ill-advised. It’s very easy to misconstrue
his pray-for-everyone message as in a way, taking the side of the embattled
police officers. Going through the comments on the post will show you just
how much this has backfired in Porter’s face.
大家大概可以了解Porter想要說什麼，只是不可否認的寫這篇文的時機真的是太差了。這
很容易就把這篇他要為所有人祈禱的文變成是幫這群被抨擊的警察護航的文。若是去看這
篇推特下面的評論就可以了解他現在被多少人嗆。
The unfortunate death of Floyd has captivated the whole nation as what is
deemed as another act of racial discrimination at the hands of the
authorities. This is an issue that will not go away anytime soon, and in
Porter’s case, it is likely that his statement here will stick with him (and
haunt him?) for years to come.
Floyd的不幸身故吸引了整個美國所有人的目光，把這件事視作另外一件有關當局種族歧視
的行為。這議題不會很快結束，而Porter的這次事件很有可能在這幾年都會一直纏繞著
他。
