美国职业橄榄球运动员阿隆·罗杰斯说，“很高兴”吉米·坎摩尔不在杰弗里·爱泼斯坦的名单上，但他并不为此道歉

Less than a day after Jimmy Kimmel called for Aaron Rodgers to apologize for insinuating that he had ties to late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, the NFL quarterback addressed the situation — and, notably, did not apologize — on Tuesday’s episode of The Pat McAfee Show. 

不到一天前，吉米·坎摩尔要求亚伦·罗杰斯为暗示他与已被定罪的性犯罪者杰弗里·爱泼斯坦有联系而道歉，这位美国国家橄榄球联盟(NFL)的四分卫在周二的the Pat McAfee Show节目中谈到了这一情况——值得注意的是，他没有道歉。

Rodgers, 40, previously implied that Kimmel’s name would be among those included on a list of celebrities who allegedly flew on Epstein’s plane, visited his island, or were involved in the financier’s sex-trafficking operation ahead of the recent release of unsealed Epstein-related court documents. Kimmel's name was not featured on any list, nor has such a list been released.

在最近公布的与爱泼斯坦有关的未密封法庭文件之前，40岁的罗杰斯此前暗示，坎摩尔的名字将被列入据称乘坐爱泼斯坦的飞机、访问爱泼斯坦的岛屿或参与这位金融家的性交易活动的名人名单。坎摩尔的名字没有出现在任何名单上，也没有公布这样的名单。

On Tuesday, Rodgers directed his statement toward the “woke establishment” before going on a five-minute-long tirade about COVID-19 vaccines, conspiracy theories, government entities, and the pharmaceutical industrial complex, among other topics. He noted that his feud with Kimmel “goes back to COVID times” when the comedian made “jokes about my immunization” and other “derogatory” comments about those who were critical of the vaccine.

周二，罗杰斯发表了针对“觉醒的建制派”的声明，然后就COVID-19疫苗、阴谋论、政府实体和制药工业综合体等话题发表了长达5分钟的长篇大论。他指出，他与坎摩尔的不和“可以追溯到COVID时代”，当时这位喜剧演员“拿我的免疫开玩笑”，并对那些批评疫苗的人发表了其他“贬贬性”言论。

“In my opinion, you went after me, that’s fine, you’re a comedian, go for it,” he said. “Not offended, but that was an L.”

“在我看来，你追我，没关系，你是个喜剧演员，去追吧，”他说。“不是冒犯，但那是个l。”

Rodgers then suggested that Kimmel had misunderstood his initial remark, which he described as a "joke" made amid “excitement to expose corruption” at the time. “Then, unprompted, [Kimmel] comes out and says that I’m an overly concussed wacko,” Rodgers said. “In my opinion, it seemed like because I believed that there was a list and that there were names on that.”

罗杰斯随后暗示，坎摩尔误解了他最初的言论，他称这是当时“揭露腐败的兴奋”中开的一个“玩笑”。罗杰斯说:“然后，(坎摩尔)突然出来说我是个过度脑震荡的疯子。”“在我看来，这似乎是因为我相信有一个名单，上面有名字。”

While Rodgers can “totally understand how serious an allegation of pedophilia” is and why Kimmel would be “upset” about it, the athlete said that wasn’t what he meant by his original comment. 

虽然罗杰斯可以“完全理解恋童癖指控有多严重”，以及为什么坎摩尔会对此“感到不安”，但这位运动员表示，他最初的评论并不是这个意思。

“I’m not stupid enough to accuse you of that with absolutely zero concrete evidence. That’s ridiculous,” he said. “One, those crimes are heinous, and two, I’m glad you’re not on a list because those who are on the list — and this is what I think we can agree on — that, at minimum, there should be an inquiry into their involvement, especially if they went to the island, and, at maximum, there should be an investigation into it.”

“我不会愚蠢到在完全没有确凿证据的情况下指责你。这太荒谬了，”他说。“第一，这些罪行是令人发指的，第二，我很高兴你不在名单上，因为那些在名单上的人，我认为我们可以达成一致，至少应该对他们的参与进行调查，特别是如果他们去了那个岛，最多应该对此进行调查。”

Kimmel wasn’t the only person who Rodgers called out during his rant. He also said that ESPN senior vice president of digital and studio production Mike Foss — who apologized on behalf of the network for Rodgers’ “dumb and factually inaccurate joke” — “didn’t help out” with the situation either. 

在罗杰斯的咆哮中，坎摩尔并不是唯一被点名的人。他还表示，ESPN数字和工作室制作高级副总裁迈克·福斯——他代表电视网为罗杰斯的“愚蠢和不准确的笑话”道歉——“也没有帮助”解决这个问题。

“I still haven’t popped a bottle because there hasn’t been any list that’s come out. I’m glad that Jimmy’s not on the list. I really am. I don’t think he’s the P-word,” Rodgers continued. “I think it’s impressive that a man who went to Arizona State and has 10 joke writers can read off a prompter.”

“我还没有开过一瓶酒，因为还没有任何名单出来。我很高兴吉米不在名单上。真的。我不认为他是那个p字的人，”罗杰斯继续说道。“我觉得令人印象深刻的是，一个上过亚利桑那州立大学、有10个笑话作家的人，居然能念出提示器上的笑话。”

He concluded, “I wish him the best. Again, I don’t give a s--- what he says about me. As long as he understands what I actually said, and that I’m not accusing him of being on the list, then I’m all for moving forward.”

他最后说:“我祝他一切顺利。再说一遍，我不在乎他怎么说我。只要他明白我真正说的话，而且我不是在指责他被列入黑名单，那么我就完全支持向前迈进。”

During his opening Jimmy Kimmel Live monologue on Monday, Kimmel slammed Rodgers after the court documents “did come out and, of course, my name wasn’t on it, isn’t on it, won’t ever be on it.” He added, “I don’t know Jeffrey Epstein. I’ve never met Jeffrey Epstein. I was not on a list. I was not on a plane, or an island, or anything ever.”

周一，在《吉米·坎摩尔直播》的开场独白中，坎摩尔抨击罗杰斯，因为法庭文件“确实出来了，当然，我的名字不在上面，现在不在上面，以后也不会在上面。”他还说，“我不认识杰弗里·爱泼斯坦。我从来没见过杰弗里·爱泼斯坦。我不在名单上。我既不在飞机上，也不在岛上，什么都没有。”

The comedian, who threatened legal action against Rodgers last week, then called upon him to apologize, noting it's "what a decent person would do, but I bet he won’t.” He added, "I hope I’m wrong. That’s how I think it will go.”

这位喜剧演员上周威胁要对罗杰斯采取法律行动，然后要求他道歉，并指出这是“一个正派的人会做的事，但我打赌他不会。”他补充说:“我希望我错了。我认为事情会这样发展。”
