VOA原文:
Adidas ended its lucrative partnership with the rapper Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, over his offensive and antisemitic remarks, which drew widespread criticism from Jewish groups, celebrities and others on social media who said the German sportswear company was being too slow to act. The sneaker giant became the latest company to cut ties with Ye, who was suspended from Twitter and Instagram this month over antisemitic posts that the social networks said violated their policies. The outcry swelled after demonstrators on a Los Angeles overpass unfurled a banner Saturday praising Ye's antisemitic comments.
阿迪达斯终止了与说唱歌手耶(原名坎耶·韦斯特)的巨资合作关系,原因是侃爷的攻击性和反犹太的言论。侃爷的言论在社交媒体上招致犹太团体、名人和其他人的广泛批评,他们认为这家德国运动服饰公司的行动太慢。这家球鞋巨头成为了最新一家与侃爷断绝关系的公司。侃爷本月因在推特和Instagram上发布反犹言论而被封号,这些社交网络称其违反了他们的政策。周六,示威者在洛杉矶的一座立交桥上展开横幅,称赞侃爷的反犹太言论,这一行为加剧了其他人的抗议。

Adidas said it expected to take a hit of up to 250 million euros ($246 million) to its net income this year from the decision to immediately stop production of its line of Yeezy products and stop payments to Ye and his companies. “Adidas does not tolerate antisemitism and any other sort of hate speech,” the company said in a statement Tuesday. “Ye's recent comments and actions have been unacceptable, hateful and dangerous, and they violate the company's values of diversity and inclusion, mutual respect and fairness.”
阿迪达斯表示,由于立即停产椰子系列产品并停止向侃爷及其公司付款的决定,预计阿迪达斯今年的净收入将减少至多2.5亿欧元(合2.46亿美元)。“阿迪达斯不容忍反犹主义和任何其他形式的仇恨言论,”该公司在周二的一份声明中表示。“侃爷最近的言论和行为是不可接受的、仇恨的和危险的,这些言论和行为违反了公司多元化和包容、相互尊重和公平的价值观。”
