纽约市长回应女儿参加抗议被捕：她如此关心这个世界 我为她骄傲
As has been reported, my daughter Chiara was arrested at a protest.I want you first to know that many many parents can appreciate this. She is 25 years old and did not inform Chirlane and I of inention to get arrested. I knew she had participated a few nights ago, but in a peaceful manners. And when I found out she had been arrested finally reached her with Chirlane. We asked her to recount the whole story. Look, I love my daughter deeply, I honor her. She is such a good human being, she only wants to do good in the world. She wants to see a better and peaceful world, she believes a lot of change is needed. I am proud of her that she cares so much and she was willing to go out there and do something about it. She recounted the story in details to me, she was acting peacefully, she believes that everything she did was in the spirit of peaceful, respectful protest. And the bottom line is that I will let her speak of herself in any way that she wants to. But I admire that, she was out there trying to change something that she thought was unjust and doing it in peaceful manner.
如报道所说，我女儿在示威过程中被捕。我想大家都知道，许多父母都能理解这一点。她今年25岁，被捕后由于紧张没有通知她妈妈和我。我知道，她相信和平示威。我知道她几天前参加了示威，但示威的方式是和平的。我获知她被捕并和妻子一起见到她后，我们让她说出了整件事情的经过。我深爱我女儿，我尊重她。她是多好的一个人，她只想为世界做事，她想要看到一个更好更和平的世界。她相信，世界需要变革。我很骄傲，她如此关心这些问题，并愿意走上街头，为此采取行动。她把整件事的经历详细的告诉了我。她举止和平，她认为自己所做的一切都是本着和平有理的示威精神。我的底线是让她用自己的话为自己辩护。但我赞赏她走上街头，试图改变她心目中不公平的事，并采用和平的手段。
