抱怨印度记者“口音太重” 特朗普跳过提问惹议

（华盛顿17日综合电）美国总统特朗普上周四（13日）在白宫接受一名印度记者提问时，抱怨对方“口音太重”、“我一个字也听不懂”，直接打断对方、跳过对方提问，影片在网上疯传，引发挞伐，不过也有许多特朗普粉丝认为，他很诚实。

综合《新德里电视台》（NDTV）、《印度时报》报道，特朗普当天在白宫接待来访的印度总理莫迪，双方举行联合记者会。特朗普接受一名印度记者以英文提问，印度人会“欢迎”美国将2008年协助恐怖分子犯下孟买连环恐攻事件的巴基斯坦裔加拿大人拉纳引渡到印度，这起恐攻事件造成166人死亡、数百人受伤。

这名记者随即又重复一次提问，不过马上又被特朗普打断：“他说的话，我一个字也听不懂，是口音问题，对我来说有点难。”

特朗普直接跳过这名印度记者，转而接受下一名记者提问。

特朗普抱怨印度记者口音的情形受到印度媒体报道，网上也疯传这段影片，引发印度网民炮轰特朗普“不放弃任何羞辱印度的机会”、“蔑视印度”，也有印度民众表示，特朗普借由侮辱印度记者来逃避提问。

然而许多美国人和特朗普粉丝认为，特朗普讲话虽然残忍惟“很诚实”，有人回应“工作上有这种感觉”，或是申请“技术支援”时，也都有同样感受。

事实上这并非特朗普头一次抱怨外国记者口音，本月初以色列总理涅坦雅胡访问白宫，与特朗普召开记者会时，特朗普也打断一名阿富汗记者有关塔利班的提问，“你的声音很美妙、口音很美，唯一的问题是，我听不懂你说的任何字。”

Notice that even if Trump can't understand someone, he'll tell them if he thinks they have a "beautiful" accent.

Not only could he not understand the Indian accent, he did not find it beautiful.

WATCH: President Trump is unable to understand an Indian reporter. “You’re going to have to go louder.”

“I can’t understand a word he’s saying.”

“It’s the accent. It’s a little bit tough for me.”
