Celtics' Enes Kanter Freedom says he'd welcome sit-down with LeBron James on human rights abuses in China: 'I'm here to educate him'
賽爾蒂克的Enes Kanter Freedom表示他願意和LeBron James坐下來，
討論中國侵害人權的議題：「我準備好教育他」
BOSTON -- Boston Celtics center Enes Kanter Freedom said he would welcome the opportunity to speak to Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James -- whom he has criticized, along with Nike, of hypocrisy because of not speaking out about human rights violations in China -- and "educate" him on the subject.
波士頓賽爾蒂克中鋒Enes Kanter Freedom表示，他樂意與洛杉磯湖人明星LeBron James對談，並於此一議題「教育」對方。
他曾批評後者和Nike未曾聲討中國侵犯人權，因而屬於偽君子。
"Sure, I'd love to sit down and talk to him," Freedom said Tuesday after the Celtics' practice. "I'm sure it's going to be a very uncomfortable
conversation for him. I don't know if he's gonna want that. I'll make that really comfortable for him.
Freedom週二在隊內訓練後表示：「當然，我很樂意和他坐下來談
我相信這對他而言會是非常不舒服的談話。我不清楚他想不想要這樣做。
我將使他相當舒適。」
"I don't know if he's educated enough, but I'm here to educate him and I'm here to help him, because it's not about money. It's about morals, principles and values. It's about what you stand for. There are way bigger things than money. If LeBron stopped making money now, his grandkids and grandkids and grandkids can have the best life ever.
「我不清楚他是否獲得足夠的教育了，但我準備好教育他和幫助他，這不是錢的問題，而是道德、原則和價值觀。這是關於你代表的內涵，比錢財更為重大。
如果LeBron現在就放棄賺錢，他的子子孫孫都會取得最好的生活。」
"I feel like it's definitely time for athletes to stand up for the things they believe in ... not just in America ... but all over the world."
「我覺得這絕對是運動員出面，為自己的信念發聲的時刻，不只是在美國而是全球。」
Freedom, who became a U.S. citizen on Monday and changed his last name from Kanter to Freedom to celebrate the occasion, has repeatedly spoken out
against both James and Nike for their failure, in his eyes, to call out human rights abuses against the Uyghur population in China's Xinjiang province. During his interview with reporters Tuesday, he wore a shirt that read
"Freedom for Uyghur."
Freedom在周一歸化為美國公民，並將姓從Kanter改成Freedom來慶祝。
他多次批評James和Nike，認為他們未曾聲討中國在新疆壓迫維吾爾人。
他在周二接受訪問時穿了一件上面寫了「維吾爾人自由」的衣服。
After the Celtics beat the Lakers at TD Garden earlier this month, James was asked about Freedom's comments about him. James said Freedom is "not someone I will give my energy to," adding that Freedom had an opportunity to approach him after the game but instead walked by him in the hallway.
賽爾蒂克本月早時擊敗湖人之後，James曾被問及Freedom的言論。
James說對方「不值得我去在意」並說對方有機會當面對質但直接離去。
When asked about that interaction Tuesday, Freedom -- whose Celtics play the Lakers on Dec. 7 in Los Angeles -- presented his side of the story.
Freedom被問及那次遭遇時，提供另一種觀點。兩隊將於七日再戰。
"I was actually on the court and after I left the court, he was behind me.... Then I stopped to take a picture with a kid, and he was the one who
walked right past me," Freedom said.
「我當時其實是在場上，當我離開時，他是在我後面。
我停下來和一個小孩拍照時，他才是直接離開的人。」
Freedom on Tuesday reiterated his feeling that Nike is "the biggest hypocrite company out there," noting, "They stand for Black Lives Matter in America --amazing. They stand for the Latino community. No Asian hate. They stand with the LGBTQ community. But when it comes to some of the countries out there, like China, they remain silent. Obviously they are using these players to become the face, like Cristiano Ronaldo for soccer, LeBron for basketball, and some other athletes. But they're becoming puppets.
Freedom再次表示他認為Nike是「最大的偽君子企業」
「他們支持美國的BLM──真了不起。他們支持拉丁裔，支持亞裔，支持LGBTQ人群。但是對於某些國家如中國，他們就保持安靜。
顯然他們是用一些球員作為象徵，比如說足球的Cristiano Ronaldo，
籃球的LeBron，還有其他人。但是他們正在成為魁儡。」
"I feel like we need to be careful of what we are wearing, because every time you put those items on your feet or back, there's so much blood or sweat or oppression on those items."
「我覺得我們要小心自己穿著什麼，因為每一次穿上鞋子或球衣，
上面有多少血淚和壓迫蘊含其中。」
Freedom also renewed his criticism of Michael Jordan for remaining silent on these issues and said other players have encouraged him to bring Jordan into the conversation as well.
Freedom也再次批評Michael Jordon在此一議題上噤聲，
還說有其他球員鼓勵他把Jordan牽扯進來。
"The thing is, whenever I talk about LeBron, whenever I talk about Michael Jordan, the Black athletes in the league are the ones reaching out to me and saying, 'Listen, talk about this person,'" Freedom said. "Not many people know this, but they are the ones giving me talking points. When Black Lives Matter protests happened, I was the third one in the whole league that went out there and protested. I was actually wearing my jersey. I wanted them to know that I am with them.
「事實上，每次我提到LeBron和Jordan，聯盟裡的黑人球員才是那些聯繫我的人，並且告訴我說『聽著，來談談這個人。』」
「很少人知道這件事，但他們才是給我新點子的人。
BLM發生時，我是整個聯盟第三位參加抗爭的球員，還穿著自己的球衣，
我希望他們知道我和他們同在。」
"But when these issues are happening, some of the other players out there in the league are scared to say anything against LeBron or Jordan ... but they are reaching out to me and giving me talking points and say, 'Listen, you talk about LeBron. It's amazing -- but he's at least standing up for things in America. Why don't you say anything about Michael Jordan? The only thing he is doing is just giving money, but he is remaining silent. He's scared to speak up.'"
「但是這些事件發生時，有些球員卻不敢對LeBron和Jordan說些什麼，
但他們聯繫我並給我點子，說『你提到LeBron，真了不起。
但他至少有為了美國的一些事情出聲。你幹嘛不提Michael Jordan呢？
他唯一做的事情是捐錢，但他保持安靜，不敢出聲。』」
This season Freedom has been wearing shoes depicting various people and
places he has spoken out against, including Chinese Communist Party general secretary Xi Jinping, Nike and James. He has also used his shoes to promote causes like freedom for Tibet and Taiwan.
本賽季Freedom穿著的球鞋描繪了他曾聲討的族群和地區，
包含中國共產黨習近平，Nike，James，以及用球鞋呼籲西藏和台灣的自由。
He said the idea for the shoe campaign was his own, and that it came from his childhood growing up in Turkey. When he would watch NBA games on television, the first thing he'd notice was which shoes the star players were wearing, and he decided that would be a way to raise awareness and break through to young people watching at home.
他說球鞋宣傳的點子是自己想到的，來自於他小時候在土耳其的經歷。
他在看NBA電視轉播時，最先注意的都是明星的球鞋，
所以他判斷這可以是一個提高關注的手段，觸及在家看球賽的年輕人。
"The important thing is to ... inspire the young generation," Freedom said."And I think that was the best way to do it. And I looked at the rulebooks, and there was nothing against it."
「重要的是要啟發年輕世代」
「我認為這是最佳方法。當我看了規則後，上面並沒有禁止這件事。」
To that end, Freedom said he had a conversation with Adam Silver about his shoes and told the NBA commissioner he would comply with any league rules.
Freedom稱他有和Adam Silver討論過球鞋的事情，
並告訴主席說他願意遵從任何聯盟的規則。
"I was like, 'If there's any rules that I'm breaking or I'm violating, let me know. I'll be the first one to follow,'" Freedom said. "And he said, 'No, you're not violating any rules.' And I was like, 'Adam, you guys are the ones that are telling us and encouraging players to stand up for what's right, not just the problems in America, but all over the world. So you guys are the ones that encouraged me to talk about all the violations that are happening all over the world, right?' And he was like, 'Listen, you have the freedom to say whatever you want.' And I was like, 'I appreciate that.'"
「我直說『如果我違反任何規則，告訴我，我會率先遵守。』
他回答說『你沒有違反任何規則。』
我於是說『Adam，就是你們告訴我們、鼓勵球員去為了公理而站出來，
不只是美國而是全球。所以就是你們鼓勵我去談論全球的人權議題，對吧？』
他表示『聽著，你有自由去說任何的言論』
我說『我很感謝』」
Freedom was speaking to the media for the first time in several weeks.
Through the first 13 games of the season, he played less than 10 minutes combined in two brief appearances as he sat third in Boston's center rotation behind Robert Williams and Al Horford. On Nov. 14, he posted to Instagram a flip book with the caption "Keep limiting me on the court, I will expose you off the court." The next day, he entered the game in the second half after Williams exited with knee soreness, and has played in every game since --though only one of them, last week against Houston, came with all three of them healthy.
Freedom幾周以來首次接受訪問。在前十三場比賽中他只打了兩次合計不到十分鐘，位於中鋒Robert Williams和Al Horford之後。
十一月十四日他在IG發了翻書的照片，寫說「不讓我上場我就揭露你」，
隔天Williams在下半場膝蓋痠痛後，他得以上場，並開始每場都上陣，
不過只有其中一場是三名中鋒都狀態健康的場次。
In the wake of his social media post, Freedom said he spoke to Celtics coach Ime Udoka about his playing time, and Udoka assured him it had nothing to do with his political beliefs.
他的社交媒體發言之後，Freedom稱他和教練Ime Udoka討論過出場時間，
Udoka保證這和他的政治信仰無關。
Freedom also spoke Tuesday about his appearance on Tucker Carlson's show Monday night, during which Freedom said Americans "should keep their mouth shut and stop criticizing the greatest nation in the world and they should focus on, you know, their freedoms and their human rights and their
democracy."
Freedom還提到他上了Tucker Carlson節目的事情，
他在節目上說美國人應該「閉嘴並停止批評世界上最偉大的國度，
而是專注於他們的自由、人權和民主」。
When asked about those comments Tuesday, Freedom said he is an apolitical person and is instead focused on human rights.
被問及這些發言時，Freedom說他不涉及政治，而是關注於人權。
"There is a thin but huge line between human rights and politics," he said."The reason I'm so involved with the politicians, the senators or
congressmen, people in State Department, White House or whatever -- the
reason is because I'm trying to help people. We are trying to create bills, we are trying to find ways to just help those people -- not just in Turkey, but all over the world -- trying to find a way to put some sanctions on some of the countries for violating some human rights, try to boycott the
Olympics, trying to free other political prisoners.
「人權和政治之間有細微但重要的差別」
「我和政治家、國會議員、政府官員、白宮等等聯絡的原因是為了幫助人。
我們試圖通過預算，找到方法幫助那些人，不只是在土耳其而是全球，
試圖找到方法去制裁侵犯人權的國家，試圖抵制奧運，試圖釋放其他政治犯。」
"Obviously, we are having our problems here, but people for sure should
definitely feel blessed to be in this situation."
「我們顯然有自己的困難，但是人們應該要為這樣的情況感到慶幸。」
