The Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau, has apologized for a photo of him in brownface. This is the wearing of face make-up to look like a brown-skinned person. It used to be common in theatrical shows, but it is racist, offensive and disrespectful. The photo of Mr Trudeau wearing brownface was given to Time magazine on Wednesday. It was taken when he was a teacher in 2001. He was attending an end-of-year school gala that had an Arabian Nights theme. He put on dark brown make-up to dress as a character from Aladdin. Mr Trudeau said he was sorry for the photo. He told reporters: "I shouldn't have done it. I should have known better, but I didn't. And I'm really sorry."

加拿大总理贾斯汀特鲁多(justin trudeau)为他在布朗法斯的照片道歉。这是化着脸妆，看起来像棕色皮肤的人。它过去在戏剧表演中很常见，但它带有种族主义、攻击性和不尊重。特鲁多身穿棕色长袍的照片周三被《时代》杂志(Time Magazine)刊登。这是他2001年当老师时拍的。他正在参加一个以《天方夜谭》为主题的年终校庆晚会。他化了深棕色的妆，扮成阿拉丁的角色。特鲁多表示，他对这张照片感到抱歉。他告诉记者：“我不应该这么做。我本该知道的，但我没有。我真的很抱歉。”

The photo could mean trouble for Mr Trudeau. He is running for re-election as Canada's leader and is neck-and-neck in the polls. His biggest rival told reporters: "Like all Canadians, I was extremely shocked and disappointed when I learned of Justin Trudeau's actions this evening. Wearing brownface is an act of open mockery and racism. It was just as racist in 2001 as it is in 2019." He added: "What Canadians saw this evening was someone...who's not fit to govern this country." Another election hopeful, Jagmeet Singh, said "We see one Mr. Trudeau in public, and I'll be honest with you, he seems really nice - very friendly, very warm....But behind closed doors, he seems like he's a different Mr. Trudeau."

这张照片可能会给特鲁多带来麻烦。他正在竞选加拿大领导人的连任，在民调中名列前茅。他的最大竞争对手告诉记者：“和所有加拿大人一样，当我得知贾斯汀·特鲁多今晚的行为时，我感到非常震惊和失望。穿棕色脸是一种公开的嘲弄和种族歧视行为。他还说：“加拿大人今天晚上看到的是一个……不适合治理这个国家的人。”另一位有希望当选的贾格米特·辛格说：“我们在公共场合看到一位特鲁多先生，我对你说实话，他看起来真的很好——非常友好，非常热情……但在闭门的情况下，他似乎是另一个特鲁多先生。”
