US Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton says a tweet from rival Donald Trump featuring a six-pointed star was "blatantly anti-Semitic".

美國民主黨可能的候選人Hillary Clinton說他對手Donald Trump發布的推特里那個六角星星是“公然地反猶太主義”。

The tweet included a shape resembling the Star of David and stacks of money, with text describing Mrs Clinton as "Most corrupt candidate ever!"

這個推特包括一個象征大衛王之星的圖案和成堆的錢，并附上文字說Clinton夫人是“有史以來最腐敗的候選人!”

It was later deleted then reposted with the slogan contained in a circle.

這條推特隨后被刪，重新發布時標語被放在一個圓圈里。

Mr Trump said the media was "dishonest" for comparing it to the Star of David, a symbol of Judaism.

Trump先生說，將這個圖案與象征猶太教的大衛王之星作比較，是媒體“不誠實”。

The Mic website reported the image had first appeared on a message board known for anti-Semitism and white supremacy.

這張圖片最初出現是在MIC網站一個反猶太和白人至上的留言板中。

"Donald Trump’s use of a blatantly anti-Semitic image from racist websites to promote his campaign would be disturbing enough," Mrs Clinton’s campaign team told US media.

“Donald Trump從種族主義網站找來公然反猶太主義的圖像來宣傳自己的競選，夠令人不安的了，”Clinton夫人的競選團隊告訴美國媒體說。

"But the fact that it’s part of a pattern should give voters major cause for concern."

“但事實上，這是選民應該擔心的那類圖案。”

’Often used by sheriffs’

“警官經常使用”

Mr Trump hit back in a statement, saying it was a "basic star, often used by sheriffs", and that accusations of anti-Semitism were "ridiculous".

Trump在一項聲明中反擊，說這是“常見的星星，警官經常使用”，反猶太主義的指控是“荒謬的”。

He accused Mrs Clinton of trying to deflect attention from her husband’s meeting with the US attorney-general.

他指責Clinton夫人試圖轉移人們對她丈夫和美國司法部長會面這件事的關注。

Dan Scavino, Trump’s social media director denied that the image had been lifted from an anti-Semitic site and said it was taken from "an anti-Hillary Twitter user where countless images appear".

Trump的社交媒體負責人Dan Scavino，否認這張圖片來自反猶太主義網站，他說圖片來自“反Hillary的推特用戶，那里有無數的圖片”。

Mr Scavino defended himself against the ant-Semitic claims in a tweet on Tuesday.

Scavino先生周二在推特上針對這些說他反猶太的言論為自己辯護。

"For the MSM to suggest that I am antisemite is AWFUL. I proudly celebrate holidays w/my wife’s amazing Jewish family for the past 16 years," he wrote, using an abbreviation for mainstream media.

“MSM暗示我反猶太真可怕。過去16年，我都驕傲地與我妻子無比棒的猶太家庭慶祝節日，”他寫道，其中用到了主流媒體的縮寫。

The Star of David features on the Israeli flag, and was used by the Nazis to identify Jews.

大衛王之星是以色列國旗的一部分，曾被納粹用來識別猶太人。

Mr Trump has previously come under scrutiny for reposting comments made by supremacist groups on social media.

Trump先生曾因在社交媒體上轉發白人至上主義團體的言論而接受審查。

Earlier this year, he was criticised on his failure to immediately disavow David Duke, a leader of the white supremacist Ku Klux Klan, who had endorsed him.

今年早些時候，他還因為沒有立即否認白人至上主義的3K黨領導人David Duke(支持Trump)而遭受批評。
