Officials at a small school district in upstate New York say an "honest mistake" led to students being identified in the yearbook as "Creepy smile kid" and "Some tall guy."
紐約州北部的一個小型學區的官員表示，一個「無心之過」導致一些學生在畢業紀念冊上被標識為「恐怖微笑小鬼」與「某個高大個兒」。


The labels appear in photo captions of the high school yearbook at Hoosick Valley, a rural district 20 miles northeast of Albany.
這些稱號出現在胡斯克谷的高中畢業紀念冊的圖說。胡斯克谷是個鄉村地區，位於（紐約州首府）奧爾巴尼東北方20英里。


Acting Superintendent Amy Goodell tells the Troy Record that a "nonintentional, honest mistake" resulted in some members of the track and field team being labeled with made-up names such as "Isolation kid." Several students were identified simply as "Someone."
代理教育局長艾美˙谷戴爾告訴特洛伊紀錄報，一個「非刻意的無心之過」，導致田徑隊的某些成員，被以像是「孤立小鬼」之類的捏造名字予以標記。好幾名學生甚至就只被標識為「某人」。


Goodell says corrections are being made and the parents of students whose names weren’t published correctly have been contacted.
谷戴爾說，錯誤已更正，也已通知那些大名未被正確印刷的學生的家長。
