關注社會:採訪馬雲的《南華早報》記者被辭職

In another twist to the much-blogged about Jack Ma interview, The South China Morning post reporter who interviewed the founder and executive chairman of Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. has resigned, according to a statement on the newspapers website early this morning.

馬雲採訪在博客圈引發的風波出現新的轉折。《南華早報》網站上週六早上的一份聲明稱，採訪阿里巴巴集團控股有限公司(Alibaba Group Holdings Ltd.)創始人兼董事局主席馬雲(Jack Ma)的該報記者已經辭職。

Liu Yi, the reporter who interviewed Mr. Ma, resigned on July 19, according to a statement on the SCMP s site. The interview generated controversy online as Mr. Ma was quoted as saying the 1989 crackdown on protesters in Tiananmen Square was the most correct decision.

《南華早報》網站上的聲明顯示，採訪馬雲的記者劉怡於7月19日辭職。採訪內容在網上引發爭議，其中引述馬雲的話說，1989年鎮壓天安門廣場的抗議者是“最正確的決定”。

Mr. Mas comments about Tiananmen were removed for a few hours last week from the SCMPs Chinese-language transcript after the comments were widely criticized on Sina Weibo, a Twitter-like service岸of which Alibaba agreed to buy an 18% stake earlier this year. The quote resurfaced later after bloggers pointed out it had disappeared.

這番話在新浪微博上引起普遍指責，隨後《南華早報》的中文版上週一度刪除了這幾句話。後來一些微博用戶指出這幾句話沒有了，這些引述隨即又在幾個小時之後再度出現。阿里巴巴今年早些時候同意收購新浪微博18%的權益。

In reaction to the quote, Jack Ma said in a statement on Thursday: I was trying to describe the circumstances under which I made tough decisions when I was CEO of the company. Regrettably my remarks as reported [by the SCMP] did not reflect what I told the reporter, and caused a terrible misunderstanding.

馬雲在上週四的聲明中對引述內容迴應說，他是在試圖描述在他擔任阿里巴巴首席執行長期間做艱難決定時的情形，遺憾的是《南華早報》報道的內容沒有反映出他是如何對記者說的，並引發了嚴重的誤解。

In a second statement released early Saturday on an official Alibaba Group microblog, the company said: We dont intend to question the SCMPs motivation for the interview, but, according to the sound recordings of the interview, we found that the root [of the problem] is that the SCMP quoted improperly.

阿里巴巴集團官方微博上週六早間第二次發佈聲明說：我們無意於質疑《南華早報》的採訪動機，但根據此次採訪的存案錄音，我們發現根源在於《南華早報》不正當的引述。

Alibaba also said it looked forward to the results of an SCMP investigation and expressed regret at the resignation of the journalist.

阿里巴巴方面還說，期待《南華早報》的調查結果，對當事記者的遭遇和辭職亦深表遺憾。

The SCMP said it continues to stand by the original article. It added: Without authorization, [Liu Yi] accessed the system and replaced the editor-approved article with an altered version in which Mr. Mas reference made in relation to June 4 was removed.

《南華早報》說，其繼續堅持原文的說法。該報的聲明還說，劉怡未經授權擅自進入系統，對已由編輯同意刊發的最後定稿進行刪改，刪改後的版本將受訪者馬雲對六四的言論刪除。

Ms. Yi had been suspended for making the unauthorized alterations to company property, but she chose to resign on Friday, the SCMP said.

《南華早報》說，劉怡因違規更改公司擁有所有權的文章而被停職，但她選擇於上週五辭職。
