Brazil’s national tourism agency typically
focuses on the city’s world-class beaches, samba-filled music scene and
caipirinha-fueled parties. Violent crime is rarely listed among the
attractions.
行銷里約熱內盧時，巴西國家觀光機構通常主打該市的世界級海灘、洋溢森巴音樂的地方，以及有卡琵莉亞酒催情的派對。暴力犯罪鮮少被列入魅力特點。
But in an embarrassing social media snafu
this week, the Brazilian Tourist Board (Embratur) accidentally shared a
critical Instagram post from a tourist who did not enjoy her stay in the
so-called "Cidade Maravilhosa," or Marvelous City.
但本週一起令人尷尬的社群媒體烏龍事件中，巴西旅遊局意外地分享了一名不愛待在這個所謂「奇蹟之城」的旅客於Instagram的批評貼文。
"I just spent 3 days in Rio with my
family, and in those 3 days my family and I were robbed and my 9-year-old
sister witnessed a violent robbery," Instagram user "withlai"
wrote in an Instagram Stories post. "I can’t recommend a visit to a city
where I felt afraid of even leaving the apartment."
Instagram用戶「withlai」的一則限時動態貼文寫道，「我和我的家人只花了3天在里約，而那3天當中，家人和我都被搶，我的9歲妹妹還親眼目睹了一件暴力搶案。」「我無法推薦拜訪一個我連離開公寓都會怕的城市。」
Embratur deleted the shared post on
Wednesday. It said in a subsequent statement that "sharing (the post) was
a mistake," adding that it had worked hard to promote a nationwide fall in
crime in 2019.
巴西旅遊局週三刪了這則分享貼文。它在隨後聲明中說道，「分享（那則貼文）是個錯誤」，並補充指出，已努力宣傳全國2019年犯罪減少一事。
