洛倫佐·休厄爾牧師因就職祈禱、推迷因硬幣而受到批評

週一，在唐納德·特朗普總統的第二次就職典禮上，他援引馬丁·路德·金歷史性的“我有一個夢想”演講，進行了出色的祈禱。

Pastor Lorenzo Sewell, who delivered a standout prayer during President Donald Trump's second inauguration on Monday, has sparked a heated debate about his style and sincerity after he also promoted a meme coin bearing his name.

週一，在唐納德·特朗普總統第二次就職典禮上，洛倫佐·休厄爾牧師發表了精彩的祈禱，在推廣一枚刻有他名字的表情包硬幣後，引發了關於他的風格和誠意的激烈爭論。

After thanking God for miraculously saving Trump from assassination attempts during his animated prayer, which also invoked Martin Luther King Jr.'s historic "I Have a Dream" speech, the criticisms came quickly.

在他熱烈的祈禱中感謝上帝奇蹟般地將川普從暗殺企圖中拯救出來後，他還引用了馬丁路德金歷史性的「我有一個夢想」演講，但批評很快就來了。

In an apparent dig at Sewell's delivery, former NFL player and outspoken Christian Benjamin Watson called the 180 Church pastor "a complete disgrace."

前 NFL 球員、直言不諱的基督徒本傑明·沃森 (Christian Benjamin Watson) 顯然是在挖苦休厄爾的言論，稱這位 180 教堂牧師「完全是恥辱」。

"He should be ashamed of himself. What an embarrassment," Watson wrote in a post on X.

「他應該為自己感到羞恥。太尷尬了，」沃森在 X 上的一篇貼文中寫道。

When activist missionary worship leader Sean Feucht replied that he thought Sewell's prayer was "brilliant and anointed," Watson shot back, "Make sure you buy some of his crypto too if you really believe that."

當活動傳教士敬拜領袖Sean Feucht 回答說他認為Sewell 的祈禱是「輝煌且受膏的」時，Watson 回擊道，「如果你真的相信這一點，請確保你也購買一些他的加密貨幣。 」

Watson was referring to Sewell's promotion on X of a volatile meme coin bearing his name called $Lorenzo shortly after his prayer for the president.

沃森指的是休厄爾在為總統祈禱後不久，在 X 上推廣了一個不穩定的模因硬幣，該硬幣以他的名字命名為 $Lorenzo。

"The crypto community was kind enough to send me $Lorenzo, so I have permanently locked my tokens into a Liquidity Pool, so that I will never sell on the community but rather just earn fees as our token continues to flourish! Amazing day, all the Glory to God!" Sewell tweeted.

「加密貨幣社群非常友善地向我發送了Lorenzo 美元，因此我將我的代幣永久鎖定在流動資金池中，這樣我就永遠不會在社群上出售，而只是隨著我們的代幣繼續蓬勃發展而賺取費用！ 太棒了，所有人榮耀歸於上帝！ ”休厄爾發推文。

Sewell encouraged followers to purchase the coin to "help us do what we need to do in the ministry."

休厄爾鼓勵追隨者購買這枚硬幣，以「幫助我們做事工中需要做的事情」。

"I need you to do me a favor to go and get that coin for us to accomplish the vision that God has called us to do on earth," Sewell said. "I give God glory for what He has done. We know that King's dream can only be fulfilled if we acknowledge that people are living in a nightmare."

「我需要你幫我一個忙，幫我去拿那枚硬幣，以實現上帝呼召我們在地球上實現的願景，」休厄爾說。 “我將榮耀歸給上帝所做的一切。我們知道，只有承認人們生活在噩夢中，金的夢想才能實現。”

Other critics, such as Tennessean Democrat Christopher Hale, who worked on the Obama-Biden campaign and unsuccessfully ran for U.S. Congress in 2020, accused Sewell of robbing the poor through the meme coin.

其他批評者，例如參與奧巴馬-拜登競選活動並在 2020 年競選美國國會議員失敗的田納西州民主黨人克里斯托弗·黑爾 (Christopher Hale)，指責休厄爾通過模因幣搶劫窮人。

"Stealing from the poor is an affront to the gospel," Hale wrote in a comment on Sewell's Monday video.

「從窮人身上偷竊是對福音的侮辱，」黑爾在休厄爾週一影片的評論中寫道。

Some Christians and Trump supporters who supported Sewell's prayer, like Angie M, expressed disappointment over the meme coin.

一些支持休厄爾祈禱的基督徒和川普支持者，例如安吉·M，對迷因幣表示失望。

"I enjoyed your prayer at the inauguration more than I can express. But somehow … I don't think Jesus would approve of this. You know ... he turned over the tables of money changers. This needs to change in our churches. More helping others not making money. Time to reverse the direction," she wrote on X.

「我無法表達地享受你在就職典禮上的祈禱。但不知何故……我認為耶穌不會批准這一點。你知道……他翻開了貨幣兌換商的桌子。這需要在我們的教會中改變。

Meme coins, according to America's largest cryptocurrency exchange, Coinbase, "are a type of cryptocurrency that are often inspired by internet memes, characters, or trends. They are typically supported by enthusiastic online communities and are generally intended to be light-hearted and fun."

根據美國最大的加密貨幣交易所 Coinbase 的說法，Meme 幣是一種加密貨幣，通常受到互聯網 meme、人物或趨勢的啟發。

Dogecoin and Shiba Inu are examples of meme coins, which are not often bought for their usability. They can be considered "risky and volatile trading assets" or just a joke. Traders have shown interest in meme coins, however, because it is possible to gain high returns from them.

狗狗幣和柴犬就是迷因幣的例子，但人們並不常購買它們，因為它們的可用性很高。它們可以被認為是“有風險且不穩定的交易資產”，或者只是一個笑話。然而，交易者對模因幣表現出了興趣，因為有可能從中獲得高額回報。

President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump have also recently launched their own meme coins, The Associated Press reports, but critics of this move say it looks like a cash grab that could undermine efforts to legitimize cryptocurrency.

根據美聯社報道，唐納德·特朗普總統和第一夫人梅拉尼婭·特朗普最近也推出了自己的模因幣，但此舉的批評者表示，此舉看起來像是一種搶錢行為，可能會破壞加密貨幣合法化的努力。

"I really was kind of bummed out when I saw it," Tom Schmidt, a partner at a crypto venture capital firm Dragonfly, told the news agency. "It just felt very grifty and cheap."

「當我看到它時，我真的有點沮喪，」加密創投公司 Dragonfly 的合夥人湯姆·施密特 (Tom Schmidt) 告訴新聞社。 “這感覺非常骯髒和廉價。”

Trump launched his meme coin known as $TRUMP last Friday for nearly $6.50 per token. The meme coin price hit a high of $73 on Sunday before falling to $45 as of Tuesday. The meme coin is now worth billions, according to Quartz.

川普上週五推出了他的迷因幣 $TRUMP，每個代幣價格近 6.50 美元。 Meme 幣的價格在周日觸及 73 美元的高位，然後在周二跌至 45 美元。據 Quartz 稱，迷因幣現在價值數十億美元。

The sale of Trump meme coins was organized by CIC Digital, an affiliate of the Trump Organization, according to the AP. The website selling the Trump meme coin states that they are meant as expressions of support and not an investment opportunity.

根據美聯社報道，川普表情包的銷售是由川普組織的附屬機構 CIC Digital 組織的。銷售川普迷因硬幣的網站聲稱，它們是為了表達支持，而不是投資機會。

Some 200 million Trump meme coins are reportedly available, but some 1 billion coins are expected to be issued over the next three years.

據報道，大約有 2 億枚川普表情包硬幣可供使用，但預計未來三年內將發行約 10 億枚硬幣。

Amid concerns raised by Sewell's critics, conservative Christian preacher Rev. Damien Jones, the author of Black Voters Red Wave: Decoding the Rise of Donald Trump's Black Support, was critical of the negativity directed at Sewell.

在休厄爾的批評者提出的擔憂中，保守派基督教傳教士、《黑人選民紅色浪潮：解碼唐納德·特朗普黑人支持的崛起》一書的作者達米安·瓊斯牧師對針對休厄爾的消極情緒提出了批評。

"He is a husband and father of 3. While in high school, his father went to prison and his younger brother was killed. As a result, Lorenzo became heavily involved in drugs, drug dealing & gang life, ultimately becoming a gang leader. A few years later he gave his life to Christ and made a 180 in his life," Jones tweeted.

「他是一名丈夫，也是 3 個孩子的父親。在高中時，他的父親入獄，弟弟被殺。因此，洛倫佐大量參與毒品、毒品交易和幫派生活，最終成為幫派頭目。幾年後，他將自己的生命獻給了基督，並實現了人生的一百八十度轉變，」瓊斯在推特上寫道。

"He is now one of the most influential voices in his community. I know folks want to have something negative to say about the brother or criticize his style of prayer, but I think we ought to

「他現在是社區中最有影響力的聲音之一。我知道人們想對這位兄弟說一些負面的話或批評他的祈禱風格，但我認為我們應該這樣做
