Newspaper in Israel Scrubs Women From a Photo of Paris Unity Rally

巴黎反恐大游行中的女性形象被刪除

JERUSALEM — Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany was right there next to the president of France on Sunday, marching through the streets of Paris for all the world to see — all the world, that is, except the readers of an ultra-Orthodox newspaper in Israel.

耶路撒冷——周日，德國總理安格拉·默克爾(Angela Merkel)和法國總統(tǒng)肩并肩走在巴黎街頭游行的畫面，吸引了全世界的注目——除了以色列一家極端正統(tǒng)派報紙的讀者。

The newspaper, HaMevaser, altered a third-page photograph of the march to remove Ms. Merkel and other female leaders, setting off snickers and satire on social media.

這家名為《預兆》(HaMevaser)的報紙對三版的一張游行照片進行了改動，清除了默克爾和另一名女性領導人，此舉在社交網(wǎng)絡上引發(fā)了嘲弄和譏諷。

Ultra-Orthodox publications generally avoid pictures of women for reasons of modesty, and their intended audience has been known to scratch women’s faces out of bus advertisements and to bar them from running for public office in their parties. But some people saw the deletions from the Paris photograph as a more serious sin.

極端正統(tǒng)派報章一般會避免刊出女性的圖像，因為那樣有失莊重，而它們的目標受眾也常有擦除公交車廣告上的女性面孔這樣的舉動，或禁止黨內(nèi)女性參與公共職位競選。然而在一些人看來，刪去巴黎照片中的女性，是一種更嚴重的罪過。

“It is rather embarrassing when, at a time that the Western world is rallying against manifestations of religious extremism, our extremists manage to take the stage,” Allison Kaplan Sommer commented on a blog for Israel’s left-leaning newspaper Haaretz. She berated HaMevaser for “denying the fact that in the wider world, beyond the ultra-Orthodox Jewish community, women do stand on the world stage and shape events.”

“當整個西方世界走到一起，表達對宗教極端主義的反對之時，發(fā)生這種事實在很丟人，被我們自己的極端主義者搶了鏡，”艾莉森·卡普蘭·索莫爾 (Allison Kaplan Sommer)在以色列左傾報紙《國土報》(Haaretz)的博客中寫道。她指責《預兆》“拒絕接受一個現(xiàn)實，那就是在極端正統(tǒng)猶太人社區(qū)之外，在更廣闊的世界里，女人已經(jīng)站在世界舞臺上，影響著事件的發(fā)展。”

Apparently deleted along with Ms. Merkel were: the mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo; a European Union official; and Simonetta Sommaruga, the president of Switzerland.

和默克爾一同被刪去的人物看起來還有：巴黎市長安妮·希達爾戈(Anne Hidalgo);一位歐盟官員;瑞士總統(tǒng)西蒙內(nèi)塔· 索馬魯加(Simonetta Sommaruga)。

The altered photo, first pointed out by Walla, an Israeli news site, drew wide scrutiny. Rather than just blur the women’s faces, HaMevaser tried to make it appear as though no women had been there to begin with. The results were far from seamless: Mediaite called the alterations “sloppy,” citing the discoloration of a man’s face, a disembodied hand, a mysterious glove and an unexplained blur, and posted a comparison with the unaltered original.

這張由以色列新聞網(wǎng)站“有啦”(Walla)最先指出的照片，引來了很多審視的目光?！额A兆》并非只是把女人的面孔模糊化了事，而是想方設法把照片做成好像里面根本不存在女人。其結(jié)果很難談得上天衣無縫：Mediaite稱圖片修得很“馬虎”，指出有一個男人的臉變色了，有只手脫離了身體，一只神秘的手套和一個莫名其妙的模糊之處，并隨附一張未經(jīng)修改的照片作為參照。

An Irish satirical news source, Waterford Whispers, responded by posting its own “feminist newspaper photoshop,” featuring the same Paris street scene with three female leaders depicted, but no men.

愛爾蘭惡搞新聞網(wǎng)站“沃特福德傳聞”(Waterford Whispers)貼出了自己的“女性主義報紙修圖版”作為回應，圖片中使用了相同的巴黎街景，只是上面只有那三名女性領導人，沒有男人。

Newspapers catering to ultra-Orthodox Jews have been embarrassed before by their handling of news photographs depicting women. In 2011, Di Tzeitung, a Brooklyn-based publication, apologized for digitally altering a photograph to remove Hillary Rodham Clinton, who was then secretary of state, and another woman from a scene in the White House Situation Room.

面向極端正統(tǒng)派猶太人的報紙，因為對有女性的新聞圖片進行處理而蒙羞，已經(jīng)不是第一次。2011年，總部位于布魯克林的刊物《日志》(Di Tzeitung)對一張白宮局勢研究室照片進行數(shù)碼處理，刪去了上面的時任國務卿希拉里·羅德姆·克林頓(Hillary Rodham Clinton)和另一名女性，為此刊物表達了歉意。

No one from HaMevaser could be reached on Tuesday, including the owner, Meir Porush, a former member of Parliament. The newspaper, established in 2009, publishes up to eight pages daily and 20 pages on Fridays, focusing on current affairs. Its Thursday section “For the Home” is aimed at women.

記者在周二無法和《預兆》報社取得聯(lián)系，包括其所有人、前議員梅伊爾·珀乎什(Meir Porush)。這家2009年創(chuàng)辦的日報平常為八版，周五刊出20版，主要關注時事。周五有面向女性的“家事”(For the Home)版塊。

Rama Burshtein, an ultra-Orthodox filmmaker whose 2012 movie “Fill the Void” won international acclaim, said in an interview that the alteration of the photo would make perfect sense to the newspaper’s readers.

極端正統(tǒng)派電影人拉瑪·布爾什坦(Rama Burshtein)的2012年影片《填補空白》(Fill the Void)贏得了國際贊譽，她在一次采訪中說，修改照片對報紙讀者來說是完全合乎情理的做法。
