之前謠傳說Hello Kitty設(shè)計師死于日本地震。經(jīng)過滬江小編們求證，發(fā)現(xiàn)她今日剛剛更新了個人博客并上傳照片。所以基本可以確認(rèn)安然無恙，并未如傳言所說在地震中喪生。（除非是為了平定大家的情緒由經(jīng)紀(jì)人上傳之類之類……請無視小編烏鴉嘴……）

There's a rumor on Twitter so persistent that it's caused "Satoshi Tajiri," the creator of the game Pokemon (pictured), to become a Twitter Trend over the assertion that he, as well as "Hello Kitty" character creator Yuko Yamaguchi died.
日本地震后Twitter上一度傳言說游戲“神奇寶貝”的創(chuàng)建人與Hello kitty的設(shè)計師Yuko Yamaguchi一起在地震中遇難。

Both Satoshi Tajiri and Yuko Yamaguchi are still alive.
不過事實上這兩個人還活著。

Additionally, the blog reports:?Satoshi Tajiri,45 years old live in Machida, Tokyo. Satoshi Tajiri fainted while seeing the destruction done by the Tsunami but he is not dead.
此外有報道稱，神奇寶貝游戲創(chuàng)建人Satoshi Tajiri實際上是在目睹海嘯造成巨大危害時因震驚而暈倒。

In the case of Ms. Yamaguchi, there's no evidence or reports of her death in the Japan Earthquake or the Tsunami.
而Hello Kitty的設(shè)計師Yamaguchi也并未被證實已經(jīng)死亡。

For reasons that add up to insensitive mischief, Twitter has been a consistent source for rumors of the death of celebrities, and in the wake of the fifth largest earthquake in history, someone elected to play on fears and launch tweets that have turned out to be a hoax.
Twitter一直是各種名人離世的謠言集中地，在地震這樣的大災(zāi)難發(fā)生后，更是有各種人利用民眾的恐慌心理，蓄意散播謠言。
