耶誕金曲歌詞不尊重女性 美電台停播

（中央社紐約3日綜合外電報導）因為聽眾投訴經典耶誕歌曲Baby It's Cold Outside裡有對女性不當的歌詞，遭美國俄亥俄州克里夫蘭（Cleveland）WDOK電台停播。

傳唱數十年、很多人能琅琅上口的耶誕金曲Baby It's Cold Outside曾被狄恩馬丁（Dean Martin）、雷查爾斯（Ray Charles）和桃莉芭頓（Dolly Parton）等人翻唱。這首歌敘述一名男子中無視女伴婉拒，哄勸女方留下與他共度時光。

歌詞中，女子對邀約頻頻拒絕「我真的不能留下來」、「這杯酒裡有什麼？」，男子則回說「美人，妳在趕什麼？」和「寶貝，不要再堅持了」。

WDOK電台主持人麥克雷（Desiray McCray）上週告訴地方媒體，因為有聽眾投訴，所以決定停播這首歌。

另一名主持人安德森（Glenn Anderson）在電台官網上寫道：「這首歌在1944年創作出來，時空背景與現在相當不同，但現在讀起來似乎控制慾非常強，是錯誤示範。」

「我們現在生活於一個格外敏感的世界，人們很容易被冒犯，在一個#MeToo（#我也是）讓女性有發聲機會的世界裡，已容不下這首歌。」

女神卡卡（Lady Gaga）等藝人曾翻唱過Baby It's Cold Outside，但選擇將「這杯酒裡有什麼？」等歌詞拿掉。（譯者：陳昱婷/核稿：陳亦偉）1071204

Baby It's Cold Outside歌詞

作詞/作曲：Frank Loesser

I really can't stay (Baby it's cold outside)
I gotta go away (Baby it's cold outside)
This evening has been (Been hoping that you'd dropped in)
So very nice (I'll hold your hands they're just like ice)
My mother will start to worry (Beautiful what's your hurry?)
My father will be pacing the floor (Listen to the fireplace roar)
So really I'd better scurry (Beautiful please don't hurry)
Well maybe just a half a drink more (I'll put some records on while I pour)

The neighbors might think (Baby it's bad out there)
Say what's in this drink? (No cabs to be had out there)
I wish I knew how (Your eyes are like starlight now)
To break this spell (I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell) (Why thank you)
I ought to say no, no, no sir (Mind if move in closer?)
At least I'm gonna say that I tried (What's the sense of hurtin' my pride?)
I really can't stay (Baby don't hold out)
Baby it's cold outside

Ah, you're very pushy you know?
I like to think of it as opportunistic

I simply must go (Baby it's cold outside)
The answer is no (But baby it's cold outside)
The welcome has been (How lucky that you dropped in)
So nice and warm (Look out the window at that storm)
My sister will be suspicious (Gosh your lips look delicious!)
My brother will be there at the door (Waves upon a tropical shore)
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious (Gosh your lips are delicious!)
Well maybe just a cigarette more (Never such a blizzard before) (And I don't even smoke)

I've got to get home (Baby you'll freeze out there)
Say lend me a coat? (It's up to your knees out there!)
You've really been grand, (I feel when I touch your hand)
But don't you see? (How can you do this thing to me?)
There's bound to be talk tomorrow (Think of my life long sorrow!)
At least there will be plenty implied (If you caught pneumonia and died!)
I really can't stay (Get over that old out)
Baby it's cold
Baby it's cold outside
Okay fine, just another drink then
That took a lot of convincing!
