Former NBA star Dennis Rodman apologized Thursday for his much-criticized outburst about an American citizen imprisoned in North Korea, saying he was stressed out and had been drinking when he made the remarks on CNN. |

前美國職籃球星丹尼斯．羅德曼因為針對被監禁在北韓的一名美國公民爆粗口而飽受批評，他在週四道歉，指稱自己會在 CNN 電視台上說出那些話，是因為他壓力太大又喝了酒。 |
|
The family of that imprisoned American, Kenneth Bae, said Thursday that they accepted Rodman's apology for his "outrageous" remarks but hope his comments "have not further endangered" Bae. |
| |
那位被監禁的美國人名叫裴俊浩，他的家人在週四表示他們接受羅德曼為其「粗暴」的言語道歉，但希望他的評論「不會進一步危及」裴俊浩。 |

The eccentric basketball veteran is in North Korea for a controversial visit that has been rife with bizarre moments, including Rodman's rendition of "Happy Birthday" to the country's leader Kim Jong Un at a packed sports stadium on Wednesday. |

這名特立獨行的退休籃球球星在北韓進行備受爭議的訪問行，當中充斥著詭異的片刻，包括羅德曼週三在一座擠滿了人的體育場內，向該國領導人金正恩獻唱〈生日快樂〉歌。 |
|
In an exclusive interview Tuesday with Chris Cuomo of CNN's New Day, Rodman provoked outrage by appearing to suggest that Bae -- who has been held in North Korea since 2012 -- may have done something to deserve his sentence of 15 years of hard labor. |
| |
週二，羅德曼在 CNN《新的一天》節目上接受克里斯．庫莫的獨家專訪，因為似乎是暗示裴俊浩——他自從二○一二年就被監禁在北韓——遭判處十五年勞改可能是罪有應得而引發眾怒。 |
|
"I want to first apologize to Kenneth Bae's family," Rodman, 52, said Thursday in a statement released by his publicist Jules Feiler. |
| |
"I want to apologize to my teammates and my management team. I want to apologize to Chris Cuomo." |
| |
「我首先要向裴俊浩的家人道歉，」五十二歲的羅德曼週四透過他的公關朱爾斯．費勒發布的聲明指出：「我要向我的隊友和我的經紀團隊道歉，也要向克里斯．庫莫道歉。」 |
|
Bae's family had said they were shocked by Rodman's comments about the captive American. |
| |
裴俊浩的家人曾在先前表示，羅德曼有關裴俊浩被俘的評論令他們深感震驚。 |
|
"He was in a position to do some good and to help advocate for Kenneth," Bae's sister, Terri Chung, said Tuesday. |
|
"He refused to do so. But then instead he has chosen to hurl these outrageous accusations against Kenneth. He clearly doesn't know anything about Kenneth, about his case. And so we were appalled by that." |
| |
「他原本可以利用自己的立場做些好事，幫俊浩講話，」裴俊浩的妹妹鍾泰莉在週二表示：「他卻拒絕這麼做，而反倒選擇對俊浩拋出這些過份的指控。他顯然對俊浩還有他的案子一無所知。所以，我們對這點深感震驚。」 |
