周三，一位以色列内阁部长致电中国大使，就北京奥运会以色列唯一的奖牌获得者在接受报纸采访时对中国人出言不逊表示道歉。
An Israeli Cabinet minister called the Chinese ambassador Wednesday to apologize after Israel's only Beijing Olympics medalist used a curse to describe the Chinese in a newspaper interview.
 
上周五，帆板铜牌得主以色列选手沙哈里－祖巴里在接受《以色列日报》采访时用脏话形容中国人。
Israeli windsurfing bronze medalist Shahar Zubari used a scatological expletive to describe the Chinese in an interview with the Yediot Ahronot daily on Friday.
 
祖巴里表示，“在中国待了1个半月，再也不想看到中国人了。”
"After a month and a half I couldn't look at Chinese people any more," Zubari said.
 
他还说，“他们的传统很怪异，甚至连讲话都很奇怪。”“我也不喜欢他们的饭菜。”
"Their traditions are bizarre and even their speech is weird," he said, adding, "I also don't like their food."
 
周二，祖巴里在《以色列日报》上刊登了道歉声明。
Zubari published an apology in Yediot on Tuesday.
 
他说：“对我之前的评论，我发自内心地向大家道歉。”他还说，那些评论完全没经过大脑。
"I want to apologize from the bottom of my heart" for the comments, he said, explaining they were made "without thinking."
 
对此，相当多的中国网友表现出了极大的宽容。
A considerable number of Chinese netizens have showed great tolerance on this matter.
 
他们表示，这只是祖巴里的个人行为而已，不会影响两国之间的关系。
They said that Zubari had made these comments only on behalf of himself, and the relations between the two peoples would not be affected.
 
上海某新浪网友表示，“这只是他的个人想法，不能代表国家观点。而且，不可能所有人都赞美中国。”
"It was just his own viewpoint, which couldn't represent the opinion of his country. Moreover, you cannot expect everyone to sing China's praises," a Sina.com netizen based in Shanghai said.
 
河南郑州一网友说，“原谅他吧，毕竟他还是个孩子。”
"Forgive him. After all, he's just a kid," another netizen from Zhengzhou commented.
 
也有人指出，虽然祖巴里对中国人的看法过于偏激，我们也应该反省自身。
And some pointed out that, although Zubari's words were too extreme, we should also do some self-examination.
 
北京一网友评论说，中国人在一些生活细节方面，例如闯红灯，随地吐痰，公共场合大声打电话、挖鼻孔等，确实需要反省。”
Chinese people should reflect upon some conducts in everyday life, such as running red lights, spitting, talking loudly on the phone or digging noses in public places, said a netizen from Beijing.
 
当然，还有些网友对其言论表示极大的愤慨。
Of course, some netizens also showed great indignation over his remarks.
 
四川某愤怒的网友说：“爱因斯坦（注：以色列人是犹太人，爱因斯坦也是犹太人）都想上来发表一篇论文来教育他！”
"Even Albert Einstein (note: Israelis are Jews and Einstein was a Jew) wanted to come out of his grave and write a thesis to teach him a lesson," said an angry Sichuan netizen.
 
另外一个愤怒的网友表示，“中国人民不欢迎他，他是第一个不受中国人民欢迎的以色列人!”
Another furious netizen said that "he is unwelcome in China, and he is the first unwelcome Israeli in China."
