伊万卡·特朗普:我不知道“串通一气”指的是什么意思
伊万卡•特朗普在成为白宫正式员工后首次接受采访,并针对她与父亲在执政上“串通一气”(complicit)的指责进行了辩护,表示她参政的动机是正面的。 她对哥伦比亚广播公司(CBS)新闻部门的盖尔•金表示:“如果说串通一气是指希望成为正面的力量,带来积极的影响,那我就是串通一气。” “我不知道‘串通一气’指的是什么意思,但我希望时间能够证明我做得很好,我父亲的执政会是成功的。” 批评者声称,伊万卡和她丈夫贾瑞德•库什纳与特朗普的内阁串通一气,对废除环保监管法规等可能与他们个人理念冲突的行政命令不置一词。《周六夜现场》(Saturday Night Live)在3月的一次节目中就对此表示了讽刺,斯佳丽•约翰逊扮演伊万卡,为一款名为“串通一气”的新香水进行了宣传。这期节目迅速走红。 这个短剧总结道:“串通一气香水,给能够、却没有阻止这一切的女人。还提供为贾瑞德(库什纳)准备的古龙水。” 伊万卡表示:“那些批评我的人如果处于我现在这个独一无二、史无前例的情况下,我不知道他们是否会做出和我不一样的决定。” 曾有报道称伊万卡将有一间位于白宫西区的办公室,却不担任正式官职,这也让她深陷批评漩涡之中。她随后宣布会正式加入联邦政府担任总统助理,并放弃所有薪水。(财富中文网) 译者:严匡正 |
In her first interview since becoming an official White House employee, Ivanka Trump defended herself against criticism that she is "complicit" in her father's administration, arguing that her motivations for participation are positive. "If being complicit is wanting to be a force for good and to make a positive impact, then I'm complicit," Trump told CBS News' Gayle King. "I don't know what it means to be complicit, but I hope time will prove I have done a good job and that my father's administration is the success I know it will be." Critics have accused Trump and her husband Jared Kushner of complicity in the Trump administration, arguing that they are staying silent on executive orders that may contradict their personal beliefs, like rolling back environmental regulations. A Saturday Night Live skit that went viral in March featured Scarlett Johanssen as Ivanka advertising a new perfume called "Complicit." "Complicit," the skit concludes. "The fragrance for the women who could stop all this. But won't. Also available in a cologne for Jared [Kushner]." "I don't know that the critics who say that of me, if they found themselves in this very unique and unprecedented situation that I am now in, would do any differently than I'm doing," she said. Trump also found herself embroiled in criticism after it was reported that she would have a West Wing office, but no official role in the administration. She subsequently announced that she would officially join the federal government as an assistant to the President, and forego any salary. |
