[(Title)] British diver prepares lawsuit against Elon Musk for calling him 'pedo guy'.

The British diver Elon Musk called a  "pedo"  on Twitter after he helped rescue a group of Thai boys trapped in a cave is threatening to sue the Tesla CEO for libel.

在营救被困在洞穴泰国男孩时被艾伦·马斯克在推特上称为“弱鸡（pedo guy）”的英国潜水员，威胁要以诽谤罪名起诉Tesla首席执行官。

A lawyer for Vernon Unsworth is reportedly  "preparing a civil complaint for libel,"  BuzzFeed News reported.

据BuzzFeed新闻报道，弗农·昂斯沃斯(Vernon Unsworth)的一位律师正在撰写的“诽谤民事申诉”。

The report comes after Musk on Tuesday said his allegations had no legal impact.

此前，马斯克曾表示昂斯沃斯对他的指控没有任何法律效应。

"You don't think it's strange he hasn't sued me? He was offered free legal services,"  Musk tweeted.

马斯克本周二（8月28日）在推特上表示，参与洞穴营救的英国专家弗农·昂斯沃斯没有起诉自己，这“很奇怪”，他可以享受免费法律服务的。

Unsworth in July dismissed Musk's efforts to aid the rescue mission by building a mini submarine as an impractical publicity stunt, sparking Musk's Twitter outburst.

昂斯沃斯曾在采访中吐槽马斯克的小型潜水艇救援计划不过是不切实际的“宣传活动”，引发马斯克在推特上进行言辞激烈的反击。

Musk later apologized, saying,  "his actions against me do not justify my actions against him, " and deleted the series of accusatory tweets.

马斯克事后道歉，并表示“他对我的行为并不能证明我对他的行为是正确的”并删除了一连串推文。

Unsworth, through his attorney, sent Musk a letter in early August claiming a lawsuit for  "false and defamatory statements"  is in the works.

昂斯沃斯通过律师在8月初给马斯克发一封信，要求对其“虚假和诽谤性陈述”提起诉讼。

"You published through three different tweets to your twenty-two million followers that Mr. Unsworth engages in the sexual exploitation of Thai children, and you did so at a time when he was working to save the lives of twelve Thai Children, "  the letter reads.  "You did so without any basis. According to a subsequent Twitter post, you did so out of anger."

"你通过3条不同的推文向你的2200万粉丝发表了观点，表示昂斯沃斯参与了对泰国儿童的性剥削，而当时他正在为拯救12名泰国儿童的生命而努力。"信中说，"你这样做毫无根据，根据随后的推文，你出于愤怒才这么做的"。
