其形容词satirical，表示“讽刺性的；讥讽的；爱挖苦人的”，英文解释为“A satirical drawing, piece of writing, or comedy show is one in which humour or exaggeration is used to criticize something.”
文化冲突

“The [Svenska Nyheter] anchor's remarks are full of discrimination, prejudice and provocation against China and other ethnic groups, completely deviating from professional media ethics,” said Geng Shuang, a spokesman for the Chinese foreign ministry in a statement on Monday. “We strongly condemn this.”
“主持人的言论充满对中国和其他族裔的歧视、偏见和挑衅，完全背离了媒体职业道德。我们对此予以强烈谴责，”
prejudice & provocation
prejudice /ˈprɛdʒʊdɪs/ 表示“偏见，成见，歧视”，英文解释为：Prejudice is an unreasonable dislike of a particular group of people or things, or a preference for one group of people or things over another. 简·奥斯汀的经典名著《傲慢与偏见》英文名就叫「Pride and Prejudice」
provocation 就是由动词provoke“激起，引起”变化而来，表示“激怒；挑衅；挑衅性事件”，英文解释为“If you describe a person's action as provocation or a provocation, you mean that it is a reason for someone else to react angrily, violently, or emotionally.”
背离媒体职业道德
“完全背离了媒体职业道德”以卫报（The Guardian）为代表的多家媒体都译为：completely deviating from professional media ethics.
其中的deviate意思是“背离，偏离，违背”，英文解释为“to change what you are doing so that you are not following an expected plan, idea, or type of behaviour”，通常用法是deviate from ...，如：飞机偏离正常航线 deviate from its normal flight path
而外交部和中国驻瑞典大使馆官网均将其译为：It is a serious violation of media professional ethics.
其中的violation“违背，违反”，如：违反国际法 a violation of international law.
The ministry said it and the Chinese embassy in Stockholm had already made “solemn representations and strong protests” to Sweden.
中国外交部和驻瑞典使馆已经分别在北京和斯德哥尔摩向瑞方提出严正交涉和强烈抗议。
提出严正交涉和强烈抗议
卫报（The Guardian）译法：made solemn representations and strong protests，同样对比外交部官网译文：lodge stern representations and strong protest，
solemn“严肃的，庄重的”，跟serious比较接近，英文解释为very serious and not happy, for example because something bad has happened or because you are at an important occasion；
stern“严格的，苛刻的”，则和strict近义，英文解释为“serious and strict, and showing strong disapproval of someone’s behaviour”。
中国外交部和驻瑞典使馆已经分别在北京和斯德哥尔摩向瑞方提出严正交涉和强烈抗议。The Chinese Foreign Ministry and the Chinese Embassy in Sweden have lodged stern representations and strong protest with the Swedish side in Beijing and in Stockholm respectively. (外交部)
In response, SVT entertainment chief Thomas Hall said: “I think it is so apparent that this is comedy, assuming that you know Swedish. But at the same time I understand that if you don't know Swedish it is possible to misunderstand.”
节目负责人托马斯·霍尔声称，若是懂瑞典语，这些不过是“幽默段子”；没有语言背景，会产生误解。(观察者网)
The Zengs, a family of three, had arrived at a hostel in Stockholm around midnight, hours before their booking. They were allowed to wait in the lobby until the staff ordered them to leave and police forcibly ejected them.
hostel
hotel都知道，但是hostel你知道么？ /'hɒstl,ˋhɑstḷ/
hostel表示〔提供廉价食宿的〕“旅舍，招待所”，英文解释为“a place where people can stay and eat fairly cheaply”，如：
a youth hostel 青年旅舍
也可以指“(流浪者等的)过夜住宿处”，英文解释：a building providing overnight accommodation, as for the homeless, etc.
Bizarre video footage posted online shows police carrying the group outside, while the son yells in English: “This is killing. This is killing.” Another clip shows the three lying on the ground crying loudly while the mother wails in Chinese: “Save me.”
