BACKGROUND:?

CONTENT:

With a warm smile, fond reflections on his family's ties to Kenya and even a 'birther' joke, he charmed the African nation's leaders on Saturday night.
But at one point, President Barack Obama struck a nerve.
Speaking at a press conference outside Nairobi's State House, Obama condemned Kenya for its treatment of homosexuals, comparing discriminating against gays to treating people differently due to race and saying that 'law-abiding' citizens should not be punished for loving a particular person.
'As an African-American in the United States I am painfully aware of what happens when people are treated differently,' he said. 'When you start treating people differently, not because of any harm they are doing, but because they are different, that's the path whereby freedoms begin to erode.
'[If] somebody is a law-abiding citizen... the idea they are going to be treated differently or abused because of who they love is wrong. Full stop.'
In response, Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta, who was standing on a stage alongside Obama, declared that gay rights are a 'non-issue' in Kenya.

注釋:birther一詞專門為美國總統(tǒng)奧巴馬出現(xiàn)。自從他當(dāng)選總統(tǒng)后就有人認(rèn)為他實(shí)際是個穆斯林,篡改了出生證明才當(dāng)上美國總統(tǒng)。有此想法的人被稱為“birther”

參考譯文1:

周六晚上,奧巴馬微笑著,講述著他的家庭與肯尼亞關(guān)系的美好回憶,甚至還講了“birther”的笑話,他的個人魅力令非洲國家的領(lǐng)袖欣賞。
但在一點(diǎn)上面,布拉克奧巴馬總統(tǒng)觸及到了肯尼亞的要害。奧巴馬在內(nèi)羅比國會外的新聞會議上譴責(zé)肯尼亞對待同性戀的態(tài)度,將歧視同性戀與因?yàn)榉N族不同而區(qū)別對待,稱守法的公民不應(yīng)該因?yàn)閻勰硞€人而受到懲罰。
他說,“作為一個非裔美國人,我在美國深深體會到被區(qū)別對待的感受”?!爱?dāng)你區(qū)別對待他人不是因?yàn)樗隽藟氖露且驗(yàn)樗麄兣c你不同,那就是開始走一條人民自由的權(quán)利開始削弱的道路?!?/div>
“(如果)一個人是守法公民...他們因?yàn)閻鄣娜硕艿絽^(qū)別對待或受到虐待,這種觀念是錯誤的。徹底停止吧?!?/div>
站在臺上、奧巴馬旁的肯尼亞總統(tǒng)烏呼魯肯雅塔回應(yīng)稱,同性戀權(quán)利在肯尼亞并不是很重要的事情。
