    A Colorado doctor has been ordered to stop seeing patients and is being
fired from her medical school teaching job for calling first lady Michelle Obama
“monkey face” on Facebook and defending herself as “still not racist.”
    由于在脸书上称呼第一夫人米歇尔·奥巴马为“猴子脸”并声称自己“不是种族主义”，科罗拉多一名医生已被勒令停职，并将遭到医学院停职。
    Dr. Michelle Herren, a white pediatric anesthesiologist at Denver Health
Medical Center and a faculty member at University of Colorado School of
Medicine, made the comment after another Facebook user called Obama eloquent,
The Denver Post reported.
    《丹佛邮报》报道，米歇尔·赫伦医生为丹佛医疗中心的一名白人麻醉师，同时还是科罗拉多大学医学院的教职工，在另外一名脸书用户夸奖米歇尔口才好之后，她做出了此番言论。
    Herren responded with an unflattering photo showing the first lady yelling,
and this:
    赫伦用了一张显示米歇尔正在叫喊、且看起来不怎么样的照片进行了回应，内容如下：
    “Doesn’t seem to be speaking too eloquently here, thank god we can’t hear
her! Monkey face and poor ebonic English!!! There! I feel better and am still
not racist!!! Just calling it like it is!”
    赫伦的一个帖子说道：“似乎说话不太流利，感谢上帝我们不能听到她讲话!猴子脸和很烂的黑人英语!!!就是这样!我感觉不错但我不是种族主义!!!只是看到什么说什么。”
    Her post also criticized Obama’s Ivy League education: “Harvard??? That’s a
place for ‘entitled’ folks said all the liberals!”
    她的帖子还批评了米歇尔接受的常春藤联盟教育：“哈佛???那是‘平权法案’(受照顾)人群所说全是自由派的地方。”
    Obama is a graduate of Harvard Law School and Princeton University. Herren
earned her medical degree at Creighton University School of Medicine in
Nebraska, according to a U.S. News online profile.
    据美国新闻在线简要介绍，米歇尔毕业于普林斯顿大学和哈佛大学法学院。赫伦在内布拉斯加州的克瑞顿大学医学院获得医学学位。
    JoAnn Nietto, who spotted Herren’s comments on a friend’s Facebook page,
told ABC-7 News that she flagged the post for the University of Colorado medical
board after it stayed there for four days.
    乔安·尼尔特在一个朋友的脸书界面上发现了赫伦的言论，他对ABC-7新闻频道表示，赫伦将该帖子归于科罗拉多大学医委会名下，并且保留了四天。
    “It really outraged me to see that she works at Denver Health, which serves
a huge minority population,” Nietto told the Denver Post.
    尼尔特向《丹佛邮报》说道：“真正令人气愤是看到赫伦在丹佛医疗中心这样一家服务于很多少数群体的地方工作。”
    Herren, an assistant professor at University of Colorado’s School of
Medicine, will lose her faculty appointment as a result of her Facebook post,
The Denver Post reported Thursday.
    《丹佛邮报》于本周四报道，赫伦——科罗拉多大学医学院副教授——将会因她的脸书帖子失去工作。
