Democratic state Sen. Ted¹ Lieu of Torrance called on Fox News host Bob Beckel to resign Saturday after he said on the air Thursday that "Chinamen" are the single biggest threat to national security.

美国华裔民主党加州参议员刘云平周六发表声明，要求福克斯新闻台主播鲍勃·贝克尔为其周四节目中“‘中国佬’是对美国国家安全最大的威胁”的言辞引咎辞职。

During an episode of the “The Five,” Beckel said: "As usual, we bring them over here and teach a bunch of Chinamen -- Chinese people -- how to do computers and then they go back to China and hack² into us.”

在周四的The Five节目中，贝克尔说，“像往常一样，我们把他们带到这里，教一帮中国佬……呃，中国人，怎样使用电脑，然后他们回到中国，非法侵入我们的系统。”

“We should all be alarmed by the racist³, xenophobic comments by Fox News host Bob Beckel," Lieu said in a statement Saturday. "His comments have no place in America, and this is at least the second time he has used racial slurs⁴. He must resign immediately."

“对于福克斯新闻台主播鲍勃•贝克尔的这种种族主义的、排外的言论，我们都应该有所警惕，”刘云平在周六的声明中指出，“他的言论在美国是站不住脚的，而且这至少已是他第二次说出这种种族歧视的言论。他必须立马辞职。”

Beckel was commenting on a New York Times article that said Chinese hackers⁵ broke into the computer networks of a U.S. government agency that houses the personal information of all federal employees.

贝克尔曾在《纽约时报》一篇文章的评论中称，中国黑客侵入了美国政府机关的电脑网络，网络中储存着所有联邦雇员的个人信息。

This is not the first time Beckel has caused a stir with his remarks about race. Last year he said on the show that once after he went swimming, his “eyes blew up" and "it made me look Oriental.”

这已经不是贝克尔第一次用他带有种族色彩的评论引起争议了。去年他在节目中称，有一次他去游泳的时候，“眼睛都胀大了”，这“让我看起来像是个东方人”。

“I am one of those ‘Chinamen’ with ‘Oriental’ eyes that immigrated⁶ to America and majored in computer science. I also served on active duty in the United States Air Force and continue to serve my country in the Reserves," Lieu said in the statement. "And today, as an American and as a California state senator, I call on Mr. Beckel to resign."

“我是一个‘中国佬’，长着‘东方人’的眼睛，我移民来到美国，学习的是计算机科学。我还曾经是美国空军现役部队的一员，并继续作为后备役为我的国家服务，”刘云平在声明中说道，“今天，作为一个美国人，作为一名加州州参议员，我要求贝克尔先生辞职。”

Lieu is running against gang prosecutor⁷ Elan Carr to replace U.S. Rep. Henry A. Waxman.

刘云平正在与共和党检察官卡尔竞争国会众议员沃克斯曼空出的席位。
