在美國大選兩黨候選人第二場(chǎng)電視辯論之前,共和黨總統(tǒng)候選人特朗普迎來了一場(chǎng)危機(jī)?!度A盛頓郵報(bào)》曝光了他在2005年的一段閑聊錄音,是特朗普在炫耀自己曾經(jīng)玩弄一名已婚女性的過程,錄音中充斥著各種下流詞匯。錄音曝光之后,特朗普發(fā)布了一段道歉視頻,稱自己并不是完美的人,但會(huì)努力成為更好的人。而經(jīng)過此事之后,共和黨內(nèi)有相當(dāng)一部分人都表示不再支持特朗普,并且希望特朗普的競(jìng)選伙伴取代他成為總統(tǒng)候選人。
我們來看看外媒對(duì)這件事的報(bào)道:
Mr Trump has been under pressure after a tape from 2005 of him making obscene comments and bragging about groping and kissing women emerged on Friday.
7日,一則關(guān)于特朗普在2005年發(fā)表淫穢評(píng)論,吹噓自己如何玩弄女性的錄音遭到曝光,這使特朗普飽受壓力。

這是一則2005年的錄音,當(dāng)時(shí)特朗普正作為嘉賓出演一部肥皂劇,在這段被錄下的言論中,他稱,“當(dāng)你是一個(gè)巨星時(shí)”你可以對(duì)女人“做任何事情”,音頻中還可聽到他說“侵犯她們的私處(pussy,污辱性說法)”。
丑聞視頻:
特朗普道歉
Trump issued a rare apology for the remarks on Friday and on Saturday was reported to be in crisis talks with close advisers in New York City. But in a call to the Washington Post he said: “I’d never withdraw. I’ve never withdrawn in my life. No, I’m not quitting this race. I have tremendous support.”
特朗普當(dāng)日就此言論發(fā)表了罕見的道歉,據(jù)報(bào)道特朗普8日還與其在紐約的心腹顧問緊急會(huì)談。但是在與《華盛頓郵報(bào)》的通話中,他稱:“我絕不會(huì)退選。我這一輩子從未退縮過。我不會(huì)放棄這場(chǎng)競(jìng)選。我擁有眾多支持者?!?/p>
