拜登称他可能有印度血统，可能是一位船长的后裔

Joe Biden's 'problematic legacy'? President-elect claims he could have Indian heritage - but may be a descendant of captain who contributed to 'colonization and subjugation' of natives before they staged a bloody mutiny

拜登称他可能有印度血统，可能是一位船长的后裔，他对“殖民和征服”当地人做出了贡献，后者上演了一场血腥的叛乱

With Joe Biden set to be sworn in as the 46th President next Wednesday, Americans are uncovering new details about the 78-year-old's ancestry.

拜登于周三宣誓就任美国第46任总统，美国人又发现了这位78岁总统血统的新细节。

The President-elect makes frequent reference to his Irish forebears, but there is now fervent interest in a speech he made back in 2013, in which he claimed he had familial connections in India.

拜登经常提到他的爱尔兰祖先，人们对他在2013年的一次演讲产生了浓厚的兴趣，他在那次演讲中称自己在印度有亲戚。

'In the 1970s, I received a letter from a gentleman [with the surname] Biden from Mumbai, asserting that we were related,' he stated in the 2013 speech, delivered during a trip to the country.

他在2013年访问印度期间发表的演讲中称，上世纪70年代，我收到了孟买一位姓拜登的绅士的一封信，他说我们有亲戚关系。

'He suggested that our mutual great-great-great-great grandfather worked for the East India Trading Company and came to Mumbai.'

“他说，我们共同的曾曾曾曾祖父曾在东印度贸易公司工作，后来来到孟买。”

Biden later claimed that the mutual relative's name was George Biden, but records of such a person do not appear to exst.

拜登后来称，这名共同亲属（曾曾曾曾祖父）的名字是乔治·拜登，但这样一个人的记录似乎并不存在。

Instead, Tim Willasey-Wilsey, a visiting professor of War Studies at King's College, London, says it is more likely that the President-elect was related to Christopher Biden, who worked for the East India Company.

相反，伦敦国王学院战争研究客座教授Tim willsey - wilsey表示，拜登更有可能是曾在东印度公司效力的克里斯托弗•拜登的亲戚。

If true, it would mean both Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris both have ties to India, as Harris' late mother was born in the South Asian nation.

如果这是真的，意味着拜登和副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯都与印度有关系，哈里斯已故的母亲出生于印度。

Interestingly, Christopher Biden lived and died in Madras (now known as Chennai), the exact same place where Harris' mother was born.

有趣的是，克里斯托弗·拜登在马德拉斯(现在被称为金奈)生活、去世，那里正是哈里斯母亲出生的地方。
