双语文本

Andy Byron, the former CEO of data company Astronomer, is reportedly exploring legal action against Coldplay after a kiss cam incident at one of the band's concerts in Massachusetts went viral.

据报道，数据公司“天文学家”（Astronomer）前首席执行官安迪·拜伦正考虑对酷玩乐队提起法律诉讼，此前该乐队在马萨诸塞州演唱会的亲吻镜头事件在网上疯传。

The clip, which showed Byron and Astronomer's HR head Kristin Cabot in what appeared to be an intimate exchange, sparked a massive controversy online and led to significant personal and professional fallout.

这段视频显示拜伦和天文学家人力资源主管克里斯汀·卡伯特之间似乎存在亲密互动，这在网上引发巨大争议，并给他们的个人生活和职业生活带来了严重影响。

Attorney Camron Dowlatshahi explained that while Byron could attempt a defamation claim, it would be difficult to prove. This is complicated further by multiple clips from the concert showing the two kissing and hugging repeatedly throughout the evening.

律师卡姆伦·道拉沙希(Camron Dowlatshahi)解释说，虽然拜伦可以尝试提出诽谤索赔，但很难证明。演唱会的多个视频显示，两人整晚不断亲吻拥抱，使得情况更加复杂。

The incident gained even more traction when Coldplay frontman Chris Martin joked about the situation on stage. "Either they're having an affair or they're just really shy," Martin said, a remark that was caught on video and quickly spread online, adding to Byron's public embarrassment.

当酷玩乐队主唱克里斯·马汀在舞台上拿这件事开玩笑时，引发了更多关注。马丁说：“他们要么是在秘密交往，要么就是太害羞了。”这番话被录了下来并迅速在网上传播，让拜伦在公众面前更加难堪。
