Following the riots in Vancouver, one photo was shared more than the rest among users of Twitter and other social media. It shows a young couple tangled in each other's arms on the street, kissing, while the police and mayhem-makers clash all around them.
之前溫哥華冰球隊在決賽中失利,引起了球迷騷亂,暴徒放火搶劫,警察不得不使用催淚瓦斯。不過有張現(xiàn)場照片引起了更大的關(guān)注,照片上一對情侶倒在地上,不是受傷了,而是在擁吻。
"I was trying not to get my ass kicked," says Vancouver freelance photojournalist Richard Lam, who took the photo, when asked if he'd stopped to talk to the couple.
溫哥華自由攝影師Richard Lam被問到有沒有去跟這對情侶說話時,說:“沒有,我還得留神注意自己的安全呢。”
Indeed, it was a hectic, and unexpected, path that led to the photo, he explains: "I was shooting the game - and me and another photographer decided to go. By the time I got out there it was out of control."
當時現(xiàn)場的確一片混亂,攝影師回憶說:“我正在拍攝比賽,之后決定還是離開比較好。我逃脫的時候那邊已經(jīng)失控了?!?/div>
On Friday, the couple was identified. Lying in the middle of a downtown street in Vancouver amid the fracas, fires and looting was Canadian Alex Thomas and her Australian boyfriend Scott Jones, seen cradling her in his arms and brushing his lips against hers.
這對情侶的身份隨后得到了確認,女子是加拿大人Alex Thomas,她的男朋友是澳大利亞人Scott Jones、
Scott's father Brett Jones told public broadcaster CBC he recognised his son in the picture circulated around the world over the internet, and in newspapers.
Scott的父親告訴記者說,他看到自己兒子的照片在網(wǎng)上瘋傳。
In an interview from his home in Perth, Australia, he said Scott, an aspiring stand-up comedian, was attempting to console Alex after she had been knocked down by police.
他在采訪中說,當天Alex被人撞倒在地,Scott只是在深情地安慰她。
Scott "was comforting her and gave her a kiss to say, 'It's going to be OK,' and the photographer just took the shot at that moment." She suffered a bruised leg.
"They are both just totally stunned ... (that the photograph) has just completely gone viral around the world," the father noted.

“Scott當時在跟她說,沒事了,并以一個吻作為安慰,攝影師正好就拍下了這一幕。Alex一條腿淤青了。他們都對這張照片的瘋傳表示無奈。”
