【摊牌】自称“亚裔美国人”，谷爱凌在美遭怼，完美回应……

1

首先需要澄清的是，谷爱凌回美国所乘坐的私人飞机不是她的。而是奢侈品品牌LV帮她包的。而包机飞行的目的，就是为了能让她赶上于近日开幕的“2022 Met Gala”秀场活动。

走红毯的谷爱凌没有让大家失望，一袭抹胸黑皮裙儿，惊艳亮相。谷爱凌是LV品牌的全球代言人，此次她身穿的黑色抹胸皮裙，则是该品牌17年的春夏款式。没想到吧？5年前的款式，谷爱凌穿出了时尚潮流感，由内而外散发出的自信光芒，也为谷爱凌加了不少分。

“Met Gala”是一个慈善性质的时尚界晚会，其邀请的嘉宾均是顶流咖位。晚会门票最低大约18万人民币，最高专属席位更是高达180万人民币。18岁的谷爱凌已是第二次参加，本次更是以奥运冠军的全新身份。可见，她真的太优秀了。

韩国明星郑浩妍就曾穿过这款皮裙走秀，巧合的是，郑浩妍也受邀参加此次的Met Gala活动，而谷爱凌也与郑浩妍进行交流并合影。

问题，出在聊天环节——在2022 Met Gala活动现场，谷爱凌突然“摊牌”，称自己为“亚裔美国人（Asian American）”。

没错，是“美国人”，不是“中国人”。

这里需要先解释一下：亚裔美国人（Asian American），专指“具有亚洲血统的美国公民”，包括印度裔美国人、华裔美国人、菲律宾裔美国人、越南裔美国人、韩裔美国人、日裔美国人、阿拉伯裔美国人或其他血缘来自于亚洲的美国人。

或许，谷爱凌是为了寻找共同话题，所以就以她穿的黑色皮裙为切入点。在与郑浩妍的对话中，谷爱凌表示很有缘分，毕竟这款皮裙被两位亚裔美国人穿过（指的是郑浩妍之前走秀的时候穿了这款皮裙）

谷爱凌与韩国明星郑浩妍在一起，在表示“我们有幸共同参与这场活动”时，她用“Asian American（亚裔美国人）”一词来称呼郑浩妍和她自己。

一开始，有网友认为谷爱凌是口误——毕竟就在几天前，大家还都说她是“Chinese”……怎么突然就变成“美国人”了呢？她一定是口误。

然而事实证明，谷爱凌并非口误，因为随后在与美国00后美妆网红Emma Chamberlain交流时，她再次自称“Asian American（亚裔美国人）”。

美媒《Womensenews》就此发表文章称：“谷爱凌是在美国出生的滑雪运动员，她代表中国夺得冬奥金牌。但其也因此成为一名有争议的运动员。”

“对许多美国人来说，这位18岁的天才少女已经被贴上了Traitor的标签。想成为亚裔美国人？只有她代表美国拿了牌，我们才认！”

另有网友发推表示，“这个女孩是Tr~。当美国黑人仍然必须为其美国公民身份而战时，又有多少第一代移民的孩子反而去效忠于他们父母的祖国而非美国？有人讨论过这件事情吗？”

好难啊……美国言论对大家的爱凌非常不利……

不过别着急，上面怼爱凌的人或媒体名气都不大。目前，还没有知名大媒体卷入其中……因为，美国就是美国,言论五花八门，大家彼此发言。

许多活动都仍争先恐后地邀请谷爱凌参加，时尚界更是将其视为“宠儿”。在更多务实的美国人眼中，“叛徒”一说会被搁置，因为现在，她是“金娃娃”。

在参加2022 Met Gala活动后，世界冠军谷爱凌受邀参加在纽约举行的女性体育峰会ESPNW峰会。在这次访问里，谷爱凌接受主持人连续不断的问题采访，每一个都是难度很大的敏感问题，但18岁的谷爱凌一一完美回复，展现高情商的一面。

谷爱凌在女性体育ESPNW峰会访谈中表示，“我这样做是因为我想激励更多的年轻女孩参加体育运动。我这样做是因为我想让孩子们认识自由滑雪这项运动，我这样做是为了代表我的以及我妈妈的中国血统。”

"I can say 100 times I'm doing this because I want to inspire more young girls in sport. I'm doing this because I want to introduce kids to free skiing and I'm doing this to represent my and my mother's Chinese heritage,"

更重要的是，中国有很多人在冬奥前根本就没有听说过自由滑雪这个项目，她作为一个混血的自由式滑雪运动员，感觉应该为中国普及冰雪项目出点力。

对在冬奥出场，引起各种媒体关于她的激烈辩论，谷爱凌说她没有想到媒体会有那么大的争议，她是以自己最擅长的方式表现自己，推广体育，帮助别人。每个人都可以有自己的观点，如果别人可以用自己的方法做到这些，那完全悉听尊便。

对于现在美中关系的张力，谷爱凌说，她就是一名滑雪运动员，她没有能力改变两个国家之间的关系；她希望把自己的事情做好，也希望世界为此变得更好。

而在接受TODAY节目采访中，她表示“最大的失败就是没有尝试。”（The worst failure is to not try."）

正如谷爱凌之前所说，她“在中国是中国人，在美国是美国人”。她说到做到。这个技术活儿不是“累不累”的问题，而是你“玩儿得起玩儿不起”的问题。

谷爱凌秋天就进入史丹福大学就读；她说将会全力读书，也会利用周末和休假时间去训练滑雪；她说其实她一直就是这样过来的，她高中提前毕业，也就是过去一年半，她才成为一名职业运动员，专心滑雪；她说有信心今后能兼顾学业和训练。

谷爱凌说，在冬奥上拿金牌并不是她职业生涯的最高点，拿金牌当然高兴，但她更希望自己能通过运动生涯搭起一个了解和沟通的平台，如果有人因为她，人生有了改变，如果她能对别人有所启发和激励，那才是她职业生涯的最高点。

“我仍然热爱滑雪，这是我非常个人和个性化的一部分，这项运动教会了我坚持，教会了我跨文化交流，所以为什么不呢？”

Gu representing China to inspire girls

Eileen Gu did not expect the level of controversy that resulted from her choosing to represent China rather than the United States at the Beijing Olympics, she said on Wednesday.

The 18-year-old Gu enjoyed a stellar Games this year, picking up gold medals in Big Air and halfpipe as well as a silver in slopestyle.

San Francisco-born Gu also faced controversy over her decision in 2019 to switch teams and represent China after years of competing for the U.S.

"There were so many amazing female role models in the U.S. that I grew up watching," Gu told an espnW Summit panel in New York City. "There wasn't someone like that in China."

Gu, who speaks fluent Mandarin and spent her summers in China but was raised in the U.S., said she was inspired to represent her mother's home country.

"I can say 100 times I'm doing this because I want to inspire more young girls in sport. I'm doing this because I want to introduce kids to free skiing and I'm doing this to represent my and my mother's Chinese heritage," Gu said.

"If people don't believe that and if they want to be like 'She's doing it for xyz', I can't do anything about that."

Chinese social media users suggested Gu enjoyed a privileged life.

"I'm trying my best to make the world a better place in my own way," said Gu.

"If you don't like this way - awesome, like you guys can go do something else."

Bound for Stanford University this year, Gu said she was enjoying the perks of her post-Olympic celebrity, attending New York's Met Gala on Monday, but that she has received hate mail and been the subject of online bullying.

"It's easy to just be like, 'Yeah, just don't care'," said Gu. "But God, like, I'm 18."

Ailing (Eileen) Gu: ‘The worst failure is to not try’

Three-time Olympic freeski medallist Ailing (Eileen) Gu is back in the United States after an extended period of time in China, following her successful Beijing 2022 campaign.

The 18-year-old has had a busy week in New York, attending the Met Gala on Monday (2 May) and appearing on NBC's Today show.

Gu, who last February became the first-ever freeskier to take home three medals at one Games, reflected on her historic Olympic debut.

"The really standout moment for me was landing that 1620 in Big air which was my first event," she said.

"I've always said my message is about inspiring young girls and inspiring more people to hear about the sport and to use it as a force to create interconnection and cultural communication.

"I knew that it was such a big moment and so many people were watching. It was my time to live up to that standard that I've set. So in that sense I was like no matter what there is no failure because if I don’t land, the worst failure is to not try."

She added: "I wanted to try it, I'd never done it before, never even tried it on airbag or anything, landed it got it got that gold medal and was on top of the world."

China's two-time gold medallist at Beijing 2022 was also asked about her Olympic future.

"Who knows, honestly, I really love skiing still. It is a very personal and expressive part of me, and I think it makes me who I am. It's taught me resilience, its taught me cross cultural communication. So, in that sense I think, why not, but let’s see how school goes first."

谷爱凌在纽约参加了公益组织Apex For Youth举办的晚宴，并领取了下一代领军人物大奖（Next Gen Award)。据悉，这是该组织成立30年以来首次颁发这一奖项。

Apex For Youth表示，谷爱凌是唯一在同一届冬季奥运会上获得三枚奖牌的自由式滑雪运动运动员，也是历史上最年轻的自由滑雪奥运金牌得主。作为美国、中国和世界各地的自由滑雪大使，谷爱凌激励了年轻人，尤其是女孩，建立自信，打破自己的界限，并通过运动过上更快乐、更健康的生活。

希望她一切顺利，斯坦福大学学业有成，再去竞选美国总统……
