洛伦佐·休厄尔牧师因就职祈祷、推迷因硬币而受到批评

周一，在唐纳德·特朗普总统的第二次就职典礼上，他援引马丁·路德·金历史性的“我有一个梦想”演讲，进行了出色的祈祷。

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.

周一，在唐纳德·特朗普总统第二次就职典礼上，洛伦佐·休厄尔牧师发表了精彩的祈祷，在推广一枚刻有他名字的表情包硬币后，引发了关于他的风格和诚意的激烈争论。

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.

在他热烈的祈祷中感谢上帝奇迹般地将特朗普从暗杀企图中拯救出来后，他还引用了马丁·路德·金历史性的“我有一个梦想”演讲，但批评很快就来了。

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 球员、直言不讳的基督徒本杰明·沃森 (Christian Benjamin Watson) 显然是在挖苦休厄尔的言论，称这位 180 教堂牧师“完全是耻辱”。

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

“他应该为自己感到羞耻。太尴尬了，”沃森在 X 上的一篇帖子中写道。

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."

当活动传教士敬拜领袖 Sean Feucht 回答说他认为 Sewell 的祈祷是“辉煌且受膏的”时，Watson 回击道，“如果你真的相信这一点，请确保你也购买一些他的加密货币。”

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.

沃森指的是休厄尔在为总统祈祷后不久，在 X 上推广了一种不稳定的模因硬币，该硬币以他的名字命名为 $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.

“加密货币社区非常友善地向我发送了 Lorenzo 美元，因此我将我的代币永久锁定在流动资金池中，这样我就永远不会在社区上出售，而只是随着我们的代币继续蓬勃发展而赚取费用！太棒了，所有人荣耀归于上帝！”休厄尔发推文。

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

休厄尔鼓励追随者购买这枚硬币，以“帮助我们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."

“我需要你帮我一个忙，帮我去拿那枚硬币，以实现上帝呼召我们在地球上实现的愿景，”休厄尔说。 “我将荣耀归给上帝所做的一切。我们知道，只有承认人们生活在噩梦中，金的梦想才能实现。”

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.

其他批评者，例如参与奥巴马-拜登竞选活动并在 2020 年竞选美国国会议员失败的田纳西州民主党人克里斯托弗·黑尔 (Christopher Hale)，指责休厄尔通过模因币抢劫穷人。

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

“从穷人身上偷窃是对福音的侮辱，”黑尔在休厄尔周一视频的评论中写道。

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

一些支持休厄尔祈祷的基督徒和特朗普支持者，比如安吉·M，对模因币表示失望。

"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.

“我无法表达地享受你在就职典礼上的祈祷。但不知何故……我认为耶稣不会批准这一点。你知道……他翻开了货币兑换商的桌子。这需要在我们的教会中改变。更多地帮助别人而不赚钱。是时候扭转方向了。”她在 X 上写道。

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."

根据美国最大的加密货币交易所 Coinbase 的说法，Meme 币是一种加密货币，通常受到互联网 meme、人物或趋势的启发。它们通常受到热情的在线社区的支持，并且通常旨在轻松有趣”。

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.

狗狗币和柴犬就是模因币的例子，但人们并不经常购买它们，因为它们的可用性很高。它们可以被认为是“有风险且不稳定的交易资产”，或者只是一个笑话。然而，交易者对模因币表现出了兴趣，因为有可能从中获得高额回报。

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.

据美联社报道，唐纳德·特朗普总统和第一夫人梅拉尼娅·特朗普最近也推出了自己的模因币，但此举的批评者表示，此举看起来像是一种抢钱行为，可能会破坏加密货币合法化的努力。

"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."

“当我看到它时，我真的有点沮丧，”加密风险投资公司 Dragonfly 的合伙人汤姆·施密特 (Tom Schmidt) 告诉新闻社。 “这感觉非常肮脏和廉价。”

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.

特朗普上周五推出了他的模因币 $TRUMP，每个代币价格近 6.50 美元。 Meme 币的价格在周日触及 73 美元的高位，然后在周二跌至 45 美元。据 Quartz 称，迷因币现在价值数十亿美元。

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.

据美联社报道，特朗普表情包的销售是由特朗普组织的附属机构 CIC Digital 组织的。销售特朗普模因硬币的网站声称，它们是为了表达支持，而不是投资机会。

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

据报道，大约有 2 亿枚特朗普表情包硬币可供使用，但预计未来三年内将发行大约 10 亿枚硬币。

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.

在休厄尔的批评者提出的担忧中，保守派基督教传教士、《黑人选民红色浪潮：解码唐纳德·特朗普黑人支持的崛起》一书的作者达米安·琼斯牧师对针对休厄尔的消极情绪提出了批评。

"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 个孩子的父亲。在高中时，他的父亲入狱，弟弟被杀。因此，洛伦佐大量参与毒品、毒品交易和帮派生活，最终成为帮派头目。几年后，他将自己的生命献给了基督，并实现了人生的一百八十度转变，”琼斯在推特上写道。

"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

“他现在是社区中最有影响力的声音之一。我知道人们想对这位兄弟说一些负面的话或批评他的祈祷风格，但我认为我们应该这样做
