第94屆奧斯卡頒獎典禮出現(xiàn)了非常有戲劇性的一幕,由于頒獎人克里斯·洛克開了威爾·史密斯老婆的玩笑,嘲笑威爾史密斯的老婆,說她現(xiàn)在是光頭,可以演《魔鬼女大兵》。本來還笑臉迎人的威爾·史密斯,直接上臺打了克里斯·洛克一拳。
Violence?in all of its forms?is poisonous and destructive. My behavior at last night’s Academy Awards was unacceptable and inexcusable. Jokes at my expense are a part of the job, but a joke about Jada’s medical condition was too much for me to bear and I reacted emotionally.
暴力,在任何形式下都有著極其惡劣的有害影響。昨晚我在奧斯卡頒獎典禮上的行為是不可接受、不可原諒的。被拿來開玩笑是我在這份工作中經(jīng)歷的常規(guī)操作,但涉及Jada健康狀況的玩笑令我無法忍受,以至于我情緒失控、反應(yīng)過激。

I would like to publicly apologize to you, Chris. I was out of line?and I was wrong. I am embarrassed and my actions were not indicative of the man I want to be. There is no place for violence in a world of love and kindness.
Chris,我想藉此公開向你道歉。我的行為越界了,我錯了。對此我深感羞愧,這并不該是我日常為人的表現(xiàn)。在這充滿愛和善意的世界里,沒有暴力的容身之地。
Be out of line越界

I would also like to apologize to the Academy, the producers of the show, all the attendees and everyone watching around the world.

I am a work in progress.
我也要向?qū)W院(獎)、節(jié)目制作人、所有來賓和全世界的所有觀眾道歉。我還要向威廉姆斯家族和《國王理查德》大家庭道歉。我的行為讓大家本該美好的經(jīng)歷染上污點,我對此深表遺憾。我還在不斷地自我修煉中。
watching around the world:后置定語修飾everyone,全世界所有的觀眾
Stain污漬,這里是動詞:[ VN ] ( formal ) to damage the opinion that people have of sth 玷污,敗壞(名聲)
The events had stained the city's reputation unfairly. 這些事件使該市背上了不應(yīng)有的惡名。
