请输入标题 abcdefg  请输入标题 abcdefg On a busy weeknight at Silver Stars Gymnastics in Silver Spring, Md., toddlers tumble across the mats and older gymnasts run drills. 这是马里兰州银泉的银星体育馆一个热闹的周末夜，小孩子们跳落在垫子上，大点的体操手们也在操练着。 The lobby bustles with kids getting ready for classes or heading home; many beg for popsicles from an irresistible cooler right outside the gym. 大厅里挤满了准备上课或者下课回家的孩子们；很多孩子都请求家长给他们在体育馆外面的冷饮店里买棒冰吃。 The walls are lined with sparkly new leotards and lots of trophies. 墙上一排排挂满了崭新的紧身衣和很多的奖杯。 Parents and babysitters chat or work on laptops. 父母和保姆们聊着天或者在笔记本电脑上办公。 The waiting parents are willing to talk to a reporter despite the uncomfortable subject matter: former USA Gymnastics and Michigan State University doctor Larry Nassar, who this week received a 40 to 175 year sentence for sexual abuse. 等候中的父母们很愿意接受记者的采访，不过采访话题是一个比较令人不快的主题：钱美国体操和密西根州立大学的医生拉瑞.纳萨，他本周因为性侵犯被法院判处40-175年有期徒刑。 Nassar pled guilty to seven counts of sexual misconduct, and during his sentencing hearing more than 150 women testified that Nassar abused them while he was supposed to be treating their injuries. 纳萨被指认犯下了七宗性侵犯行为，在审美期间还有150名女士指认他在给她们治疗伤势期间对她们进行了性骚扰。 Sari Weiner, whose 6-year-old daughter has taken classes at Silver Stars for about three years, says the Nassar story is awful and she's long felt uneasy about the sport for other reasons. 萨利.温娜，她六岁的女儿已经在银星上了三年的课了，说道，纳萨的故事太可怕了，她很早就开始对这项运动因为其他的一些原因感到担忧。 But the news won't change her family's routine. 但这条新闻也不会改变她们家庭的习惯生活。 "My opinions of gymnastics have not really changed. I've always thought that the competitive nature of the sport is extremely messed up," Weiner says. “我对体操的看法没有改变。我总是认为这种运动本身的竞技性是很可怕的，”温娜说。 "I think it is just unconscionable how long it went on and how nobody spoke up about it. But if my daughter is compulsively doing cartwheels all over the house, I'm going to put her in gymnastics for as long as she's having fun." “我觉得这种事竟然能持续这么久真是太不合理了，竟然没人说出来。但如果我的女儿被迫满屋子做侧手翻的话，我就会让她推出体操课，我觉得她开心最重要。” Other parents here say the sport helps their kids burn off energy and gain confidence. 这里其他的父母们说这项运动帮助孩子们消耗了精力，获得了自信心。 Cara Altimus brings her 3-year-old daughter here once a week to have fun and get stronger. 卡拉.阿提姆斯一周带她三岁的女儿来一次来玩玩，同时变得更强壮。 She says the Nassar story doesn't really feel connected to her experience at Silver Stars, despite a disturbing incident last year, when a father planted a small spy camera in a bathroom. 她说感觉纳萨的故事跟她在银星的感受没什么关联，不过去年确实出了一次小事故，有一个爸爸在洗澡间装了一个针孔摄像头。 Altimus says the center handled the camera incident well. 阿提姆斯说这家中心把摄像头事件处理得很妥当。 "There was a lot of a communication, quite a bit of community outreach and classes on keeping children safe, and their staff has re-upped their training on community safety of children," she says. “他们开展了很多的社区外展和课程来教育如何保证孩子们的安全，他们的员工也对孩子们本身的社会安全教育课程进行了升级，”她说。 请输入标题 a Most parents in the waiting area have very young children taking recreational classes. 很多的等候区的父母们都带很小的孩子来参加娱乐课程。 Parents of the competitive gymnasts who are here multiple times a week don't tend to hang around for practices. 那些竞技体操手的父母们每周来的次数多两倍，不过他们在孩子训练的时候往往不在这里待着。 But there are a few who stay, including Valentino Iordache. 也有少数一直陪着孩子的，其中包括瓦伦蒂诺.罗达克。 His daughter made the prep team, USA Gymnastics Level 1, where young athletes learn the skills they'll need to compete. 他的女儿进入了预备队，美国体操一级，这里年轻的运动员们会学习他们需要完成的一些基本技巧动作。 To him, the sexual abuse scandal isn't about gymnastics, and that's what he's told his daughter. 对他来说，这种性侵犯丑闻跟体操没什么关系，他也是这么对女儿说的。 "We told her that there are crazy people in this world and she needs to know about it," Iordache says. “我们对她说这个世界上有一些变态的人，她需要知道这一点。”罗达克说。 "Gymnastics has nothing to do with a bad incident here or there — it's a great sport at the end of the day." “体操跟这种到处都有的恶性事件没有什么关系—毕竟这项运动是很棒的。” Lowrey Redmond's 8-year-old daughter is on the same team. 罗瑞.瑞蒙德八岁的女儿也在这个队里。 For her family, the Nassar story has resonated. 对她的家人来说，纳萨的故事让他们深有感触。 "My oldest daughter Adele — gymnastics is her life," Redmond says. “对我的大女儿阿黛尔来说—体操就是她的生命，”瑞蒙德说。 "She's kind of a mature 8-year-old so I knew that she could handle talking about some of this. I didn't tell her the details. She knows that a lot of girls and women stood up for what's right, and they're gymnasts just like her. And her first reaction was 'Mom, that's really cool.' " “她是个很懂事的八岁孩子所以我知道可以跟她讲一些这些。我没有告诉她细节。她知道很多女孩子和女人们都为正义站了出来，她们也是跟她一样的体操运动员。她的第一反应是，'妈妈，她们真勇敢！’” Her 5-year-old daughter, Mabel, does gymnastics at Silver Stars too, so they're here a lot. 她五岁的女儿，马蓓尔，也在银星练体操，所以她们经常来。 "I thought maybe I would be worried about this being always a problem and systemic and our girls are never going to be in a safe place," she says. “我认为这种问题恐怕是长期的系统性的，我们的女儿们恐怕永远都没法拥有一个绝对安全的环境，”她说。 "But it's up to all of us to keep coming into the gym and [holding] the adults in charge accountable." “所以我们就有责任一直来体育馆陪伴她们，让那些教课的成年人们也负起责来。” They're a gymnastics family. Lowrey Redmond says she won't let Larry Nassar take that away from them. 她们是体操之家。罗瑞.瑞蒙德说她不会让拉瑞.纳萨夺走这一切。 感谢关注 跟amber一起看世界 |
