Moscow mall's doormats sport U.S. flag emblem
莫斯科商场门口擦鞋垫现美国国旗
This Moscow shopping mall wants to encourage good manners...kind of. Customers are invited to wipe their feet on doormats bearing the United States flag. The mall's workers said in a statement the mats are a protest against the U-S's policy of fomenting "color" revolutions in former Soviet states such as Ukraine and spreading anti-Russian sentiment. Some shoppers say they are okay with the mats...
莫斯科这座购物商场似乎是为了鼓励良好的礼仪。顾客们被邀请在印有美国国旗的擦鞋垫上擦拭鞋子。这座商场的工作人员在声明中表示，印有美国国旗的擦鞋垫是为了抗议美国煽动一些前苏联国家进行颜色革命，比如乌克兰，以及不断扩散的反俄情绪。一些购物者表示他们觉得这些擦鞋垫无伤大雅。
(SOUNDBITE) (Russian) MOSCOW RESIDENT, NIKOLAI, SAYING: "Why do they burn our flags in Ukraine? Why do they wipe their feet over us? They do wipe their feet over us, over our state. And can't we wipe ours on doormats? Let us do it, for God's sake!"
莫斯科居民NIKOLAI：“他们为什么在乌克兰焚烧我们的国旗？他们为什么用我们的尊严擦鞋子？他们确实用双脚践踏我们的人民，我们的国家。那我们为什么不能用擦鞋垫擦鞋子呢？为了上帝，让我们这样做吧。”
...while others disagree. (SOUNDBITE) (Russian) MOSCOW RESIDENT, NO NAME GIVEN, SAYING: "You know, it appears to me that... The people who did this were simpletons." Still, it is a clear sign the country's tenuous relations are having repercussions.
而其他人则不赞同。未透露姓名的莫斯科居民：“你知道，看上去似乎……这样做的都是头脑简单的傻瓜。”然而，这是两国之间脆弱的关系反弹的明显迹象。
