EMF，2019.02.20   异族通婚的难言之隐 Lesson A   核心报导   1. You know, we're talking about a time when 40 states in America would regard us as criminals. That's no longer the case. I think that marrying who you want to is a right that no man should have anything to do with. It's a God-given right, I think. 你知道，我们在谈论美国的40个州会把我们看作罪犯的时代。现在不再是那样了。我认为，和你想要结婚的人结婚是一种权利，任何人都不得干涉。我认为这是上帝赋予的权利。   2. One time, Chris came to me as we were at a family event, and you know, even though he's coming from a very liberal, very progressive,very anti-racist family, when they see me, they see a black woman,and that's always in the interactions that I have with his family. 有一次家庭活动时，Chris 向我走来。你知道的，尽管他来自一个非常自由开放，思想先进，反对种族歧视的家庭，但当他们看见我，他们看到一个黑人女性。这会一直存在于我跟他家人之间的交往中。 3. I had asked Janet to marry me on several occasions, and she refused.And, she refused, because I was serving in the Senate, and she was afraid that our being married would impede, or somewhere, somehow,impair my reelection. If they had been racist, and held that against him, I would never have forgiven myself, because I could go on loving him without a marriage certificate. 我已经多次向Janet求婚了，但是她都拒绝了。她拒绝是因为我在参议院工作，她担心我们的婚姻会阻止，或者在某个时间，以某种方式破坏我的连任。如果他们是种族主义者的话，他们会以此攻击他，我将永远无法原谅我自己。因为我可以继续爱着他，即便没有结婚证书。   4. My daughter referred to herself as an orange when she was little.She once drew a picture of herself that was literally half-white and half-black. That was a little spooky. 我女儿在她小的时候称她自己是一个橘子。有一次她画了一幅自画像，真的画成了一半白一半黑。这有点诡异。
