当地时间周四，白宫在社交媒体账号发布了一张“MAGA”(让美国再次伟大)表情包，采用宝可梦当日发售游戏的标志性彩色字体，皮卡丘、鲤鱼王等知名IP角色也跃然纸上。下面请看相关双语报道。
Pokémon is at odds with the White House for the second time in months.
数月之内，宝可梦与白宫第二次产生了分歧。
On Thursday, the White House posted an image with the words "make america great again" designed to imitate Pokémon's game Pokémon Pokopia, which was released this week. Fans have made posts using the game's font to write comical phrases. In the background of the image, which appears to have been taken directly from the game, iconic characters like Pikachu and Magikarp can be seen.
周四，白宫发布了一张图片，上面写着“让美国再次伟大”的字样， 其设计模仿了本周刚发布的宝可梦游戏《宝可梦 波克皮亚》。 粉丝们经常使用该游戏的字体来创作一些搞笑短语。 在图片背景中，可以看到皮卡丘和鲤鱼王等标志性角色，这些背景似乎直接取自游戏本身。
The post prompted a response from Pokémon company International, which is celebrating the 30th anniversary of Pokémon.
这篇帖子引发了正在庆祝宝可梦诞生30周年的宝可梦国际公司的回应。
"We are aware of recent social content that includes imagery associated with our brand," Sravanthi Dev, a company spokeswoman, said in a statement to media outlets. "We were not involved in its creation or distribution, and no permission was granted for the use of our intellectual property. Our mission is to bring the world together, and that mission is not affiliated with any political viewpoint or agenda."
“我们注意到了近期社交媒体上包含与我们品牌相关图像的内容，” 公司发言人斯里拉万提·戴夫在一份发给媒体的声明中表示， “我们并未参与其创作或传播，也未授权使用我们的知识产权。 我们的使命是将世界联结在一起，这一使命与任何政治观点或议程无关。”
TIME has reached out to Pokémon Company International and the White House for comment.
《时代》周刊已联系宝可梦国际公司和白宫寻求评论。
It's the second time that Pokémon has had to put out a statement distancing itself from the Trump Administration's use of its intellectual property. Last September, the department of Homeland security posted a video seeking to recruit Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents that used Pokémon's slogan "Gotta catch 'em all" and scenes from Pokémon's anime series alongside clips of Border Patrol and ICE agents arresting people.
这是宝可梦公司第二次不得不发表声明，与特朗普政府使用其知识产权一事保持距离。 去年九月，美国国土安全部发布了一段招募移民和海关执法局特工的视频，该视频使用了宝可梦的口号“ gotta catch 'em all”(抓遍天下) 以及宝可梦动画系列中的场景，并穿插了边境巡逻队和移民及海关执法局特工逮捕人员的画面。
In another post the same day, Customs and Border protection said "Border Patrol's newest recruit" alongside a GIF of Detective Pikachu.
同一天的另一篇帖子中，美国海关和边境保护局发布了一张“侦探皮卡丘”的动态图片，并配文“边境巡逻队的最新成员”。
"We are aware of a recent video posted by the Department of Homeland Security that includes imagery and language associated with our brand," Pokémon Company International said in a statement at the time. "Our company was not involved in the creation or distribution of this content, and permission was not granted for the use of our intellectual property."
宝可梦国际公司当时在一份声明中表示：“我们注意到国土安全部近期发布的一段视频包含了与我们品牌相关的图像和语言。 我公司并未参与此内容的创作或传播， 也未授权使用我们的知识产权。”
Frustration has mounted towards DHS and other government agencies over the Trump Administration's aggressive immigration crackdown. Kristi Noem, who has been scrutinized for her oversight of the department's handling of immigration enforcement, was removed as Homeland Security Secretary on Thursday.
由于特朗普政府激进的移民打击行动，人们对国土安全部及其他政府机构的不满情绪日益高涨。 因其对该部门移民执法工作的监督而受到审视的克里斯蒂·诺姆， 于周四被免去了国土安全部部长的职务。
The Trump Administration has also used the intellectual property of other video games including Minecraft, Halo, Stardew Valley, and most recently Call of Duty to boost their policies, particularly related to immigration and foreign policy. None of the companies that own those video games have publicly commented on the White House's posts.
特朗普政府还使用了包括《我的世界》《光环》《星露谷物语》 以及最近的《使命召唤》在内的其他电子游戏的知识产权，来宣传其政策，尤其是与移民和外交政策相关的政策。 这些游戏的拥有公司均未对白宫的帖子公开发表评论。
Trump has sought favor among the gamer community for years in his efforts to court young male voters. But, as with many artists whose music has been appropriated by the Administration, the White House has faced pushback, including from video game fans as well as some developers, over its use of gaming memes and references to promote its policies.
多年来，特朗普一直在争取游戏玩家群体的好感，以努力吸引年轻男性选民。 但是，正如许多音乐作品被政府使用的艺人一样，白宫因其使用游戏迷因和相关内容来宣传其政策而面临抵制， 这些抵制来自电子游戏粉丝以及一些开发者。
Some have called for Pokémon to sue the Trump Administration over its use of its intellectual property, although there has so far been no indication of a legal challenge.
一些人呼吁宝可梦公司就特朗普政府使用其知识产权一事提起诉讼， 尽管目前尚无迹象表明会采取法律行动。
"Nowhere in the Constitution does it say we can't post banger memes," the White House's X account posted in July in response to broad criticisms of its social media strategy.
“宪法中没有任何规定说我们不能发布热门迷因，” 白宫X账号在七月回应其社交媒体策略受到广泛批评时这样写道。
