Stephen Colbert regrets Kate Middleton jokes before her cancer announcement, extends 'well wishes'
斯蒂芬·科爾伯特在《深夜秀》上關于凱特·米德爾頓的玩笑在她宣布患癌癥之前,為此道歉并表達了對她持續(xù)康復的祝愿。
Stephen Colbert is reflecting on the jokes he made about Kate Middleton on The Late Show prior to the Princess of Wales revealing her cancer diagnosis last week.
斯蒂芬·科爾伯特(Stephen Colbert)正在反思上周威爾士公主(Princess of Wales)透露其癌癥診斷結(jié)果之前,他在《晚間秀》(the Late Show)上對凱特·米德爾頓(Kate Middleton)開的玩笑。
The late night host got serious for a moment during Monday’s broadcast as he addressed the backlash he received for previously joking about Middleton's whereabouts even before her announcement and extended his “well wishes” on her ongoing recovery.
在周一的節(jié)目中,深夜主持人認真地對此進行了一番反思,他談到了之前關于米德爾頓下落的玩笑,甚至在她公布患癌癥的消息之前就做了這些玩笑,并向她延伸了“良好的祝愿”。
“We do a lot of shows. I tell a lot of jokes. I tell jokes about a lot of different things, mostly about what everybody is talking about,” Colbert began. “For the last six weeks to two months, everybody has been talking about the mystery of Kate Middleton’s disappearance from public life.”
“我們做了很多節(jié)目。我講了很多笑話。我講了很多不同的事情,大多數(shù)是關于每個人都在談論的事情,”科爾伯特開始說道。“在過去的六周到兩個月里,每個人都在談論凱特·米德爾頓從公眾生活中消失的神秘事件。”
“When I made those jokes, that upset some people even before her diagnosis was revealed,” he said. “I can understand that. A lot of my jokes have upset people in the past, and some of my jokes will upset people in the future, but there’s a standard that I try to hold myself to, and that is I do not make light of somebody else’s tragedy.”
“當我講了那些笑話時,甚至在她的診斷被公布之前,這就讓一些人感到不滿,”他說。“我能理解。我的很多笑話在過去曾讓人們不滿,未來也會有一些笑話會讓人們不滿,但有一個標準我試圖堅守,那就是我不會對別人的悲劇開玩笑。”
“I don’t know if whether her prognosis is a tragic one — she’s the future Queen of England and I assume she’s going to get the best possible medical care — but regardless of what it is, I know, and I’m sure far too many of us know, that any cancer diagnosis of any kind is harrowing for the patient and for their family,” Colbert continued. “Though I’m sure they don’t need it from me, I and everyone here at The Late Show would like to extend our well wishes and heartfelt hope that her recovery is swift and thorough.”
“我不知道她的預后是否是一個悲劇——她是未來的英國女王,我想她會得到最好的醫(yī)療照顧——但無論是什么情況,我知道,我相信很多人都知道,任何形式的癌癥診斷都會讓患者和他們的家人感到恐懼,”科爾伯特繼續(xù)說道。“雖然我確定他們不需要我的祝愿,但我和《深夜秀》的所有人都希望她能盡快康復,康復徹底。”
