希拉里女儿为特朗普的小儿子发声!

 　　Former first daughter Chelsea Clinton came to the defense¹ of Barron Trump² after he was subjected to taunts³ from internet bullies⁴, though her statement quickly turned political.

　　在巴伦·特朗普受到网络暴力嘲弄后，前任第一女儿切尔西·克林顿为其进行了辩护，但紧接着她的话锋便转到了政治上。

　　Ten-year-old Barron was subject to a series of cruel taunts after the inauguration⁵ including one from an Saturday Night Live writer who said he will turn into a 'school shooter'.

　　在就职典礼过后，十岁的巴伦受到了一系列残忍的嘲弄，其中《周六夜现场》的作者还扬言巴伦将会成为一名“校园枪手”。

　　In a Facebook post, Chelsea said: 'Barron Trump deserves the chance every child does - to be a kid.'

　　在脸书的一个帖子中，切尔西说道：“巴伦· 特朗普应该拥有每个儿童都有的权利--那就是做个孩子”

　　'Standing⁶ up for every kid also means opposing POTUS policies that hurt kids.'

　　“支持孩子们也意味着反对总统的那些伤害孩子们的政策。”

　　Her post sparked an immediate⁷ response with some users calling her 'hypocritical' - to defend Trump's son while also denouncing his administration's policies.

　　她的帖子随后立即引起了一些用户们的回应，一些人称她“虚伪”--一边为特朗普的儿子说话，一边又批判特朗普政府的政策。

　　Robin⁸ Harrison Merrick wrote: 'I personally find her message convoluted⁹... as a child of a president she of all people should not make a statement about the Trump boy's childhood while making a point about opposing his fathers policies... the two things are unrelated and should be kept separate...IMHO.'

　　罗宾·哈里森·梅里克写道：“我对切尔西的言论感到费解，作为总统的孩子，她最不应该一面评价特朗普儿子的童年，一面批评特朗普的政策。以我的拙见，这两者毫无关联。”

　　Gina Wareham commented: 'This seems very half-hearted to me. Are you standing up for this child, or are you using it as an opportunity to make a political point?'

　　吉娜·韦勒姆评论道：“切尔西的态度是三心二意的，她是真的站在孩子一方，还是只是把这当成一个抒发政治观点的机会呢？”

　　But many supported Clinton's decision to speak out.

　　但是，很多人支持切尔西的发声。

　　In response to the Facebook post Tawana John Fischer wrote: 'Chelsea, thank you for being classy like your mama, HRC. I love that you are advocating for all children.

　　塔瓦娜·约翰·费舍尔在脸书上回应称：“感谢切尔西能像她的母亲希拉里·克林顿一样优秀，感谢她为所有儿童发声。”
