A satirical Swedish TV show has caused an uproar in China after it aired a segment last week mocking Chinese tourists.
上周,一个讽刺型瑞典电视节目播放了含有嘲笑中国游客的片段,这在中国引起了轰动。
The episode of Svenska Nyheter, hosted by Jesper Rönndahl, aired on SVT on Saturday and included a sketch - dubbed over in Mandarin Chinese - "welcoming" Chinese tourists to Sweden.
由杰斯珀·R·恩达尔主办的这集“瑞典新闻(Swedish news)”节目于周六播映,其中包括一个讽刺类幽默短剧,以中国普通话配音,展现的主题是“欢迎”中国游客来到瑞典。
In the video, a woman lists a few "tips for Chinese tourists to avoid culture clash," with the first being: "In Sweden, we don't take a shit outside historical heritage sites."
在这个视频中,一位女士列了一些建议“让中国游客避免文化冲突”,它的开头写到:“在瑞典,我们不会在历史文化遗产外面随地大小便”。

"If you see a person with their dog on the street, this does not mean they have just bought their lunch," the woman goes on.
“如果你在街上看到一个人带着他们的狗,这并不意味着他们刚刚买了午餐。”这位女士继续说道。

"We use knives and forks to eat in Sweden," she says. "And we don't take a shit when we are eating."
“在瑞典,我们用刀叉进食,”她说,“我们吃饭的时候不会大便。”

"The other cultural difference is that you Chinese people are racist," the woman then says.
“另一个文化差异在于你们中国人是种族主义者,”这位女士说。

"But in Sweden, we have black people, Jewish people, Arabs, and even homosexuals," she says.
“但在瑞典,我们有黑人、犹太人、阿拉伯人,甚至是同性恋者。”她说。

"Because we support the principle of every person's right to equality," she adds.
“因为我们支持人人权利平等这个原则。”她补充说。

"However, we do not apply this principle to Chinese people," she says.
“但是这一原则不适用于中国人,’’ 她说。

The video then ends with the woman saying that Sweden warmly welcomes its Chinese friends to the kingdom but will spank the Chinese people if they misbehave.
在视频的结尾,这位女士表示瑞典热烈欢迎中国友人的到来,但是如果中国人行为不端,就会被打屁股。
The video quickly went viral on the Chinese social media platform Weibo, where the topic page for the hashtag #SwedishTVShowInsultingChinesePeople gained more than 34 million views.
这一视频很快在微博上遭到疯转,而微博话题#瑞典辱华节目#的浏览量也超过了三千四百万。
People were pissed.
人们都十分气愤。



And thought it was racist.
并且认为这是种族主义的表现。


The TV episode comes after a family of Chinese tourists were forcibly removed by police from a hostel in Stockholm earlier this month, which also caused a controversy in China.
本月早些时候,一家中国游客被斯德哥尔摩警方从一家旅社强行带走,此事在中国也引发了争议。而这档电视节目就是在该事件后出现的。

According to Chinese media reports, the elderly couple and their son, surnamed Zeng, had arrived at the hostel on Sept. 2 before their check-in time and asked to wait in the lobby.
据中国媒体报道,9月2日这对年迈的夫妇和他们的儿子曾某在其住宿登记时间前到达了酒店,并要求在大厅等候。
However, the staff later asked the family to leave, which the family reportedly refused to do, prompting the hostel staff to call the police.
后来工作人员要求这家人离开,但据报道遭到了他们的拒绝,这促使酒店工作人员报了警。
Videos and photos on social media then show Swedish police forcibly dragging the family out of the hostel, carrying the father by his arms and legs.
当时社交媒体上的照片和视频显示,瑞典警方抱着年迈男子的胳膊和腿,强行将这一家人拖出了酒店。
That incident caused a debate on Chinese social media, with some people criticizing Swedish police for their treatment of the family while others felt that the family's behavior was embarrassing.
这件事在中国社交媒体上引发了激烈的讨论,一些人批评瑞典警方对待这个家庭的方式,而另一些人则认为这个家庭的行为令人尴尬。
After the incident went viral, the Chinese Embassy in Sweden issued a safety alert for Chinese tourists in Sweden, citing the incident and urging them to take extra precautions as many Chinese tourists have also become victims of theft and robbery.
事后,中国驻瑞典大使馆向在瑞典的中国游客发布了安全警告,并以该事件为例,称许多中国游客在瑞典遭到盗窃和抢劫,敦促他们采取特别预防措施。
The Chinese Embassy in Sweden has since issued another safety alert, as well as a statement condemning the Svenska Nyheter episode as "a gross insult to and vicious attack on China and the Chinese people."
此后,中国驻瑞典大使馆再次发出安全警报,并发表声明谴责“瑞典新闻(Swedish news)”这一集是“对中国和中国人民的严重侮辱和恶意攻击”。

"The SVT program and Jesper Rönndahl spread and advocate racism and xenophobia outright, and openly provoke and instigate racial hatred and confrontation targeting at China and some other ethnic groups," the statement read.
声明称:“SVT的这个节目和杰斯珀·R·恩达尔公然宣扬种族主义和仇外情绪,公然挑起和煽动针对中国和其他民族的种族仇恨和对抗。”
The embassy said that it had rejected SVT's argument that it was "an entertainment program" and urged the station to issue an immediate apology.
SVT称这为“娱乐节目”,但中国大使馆否认这一说法,并督促电视台立即道歉。
