美國第一夫人消失公衆視野20天后首度發聲

After a suspicious 20-day absence from all public appearances, US first lady Melania Trump resurfaced last Wednesday with a tweet that responded to questions about her whereabouts and took a jab at the press.

在公衆視線中消失已有20天並引起了一些猜測之後，美國第一夫人梅拉尼婭·特朗普在上週三重新露面，併發出了一則推文回覆有關她下落的問題，並向媒體進行了抨擊。

"I see the media is working overtime speculating where I am and what I'm doing," she tweeted. "Rest assured, I'm here at the @WhiteHouse with my family, feeling great, and working hard on behalf of children and the American people!"

她在推特上說：“我看到媒體正在不分晝夜地猜測我在哪裏以及我在做什麼。放心，我在白宮，和我的家人在一起，我很好，我正在代表孩子們和美國人民努力工作！”

Melania's communications director, Stephanie Grisham, made a point of re-tweeting the message, adding, "Straight from FLOTUS herself!"

梅拉尼婭的宣傳總監斯蒂芬妮·格里沙姆轉發推文並說道：“這是直接來自美國第一夫人的消息！”

Melania's last appearance at a public event was on May 10 when she joined US President Donald Trump in welcoming home three Americans detained in North Korea at Joint Base Andrews.

梅拉尼婭最後一次出席公衆活動是在5月10日，當時她與美國總統唐納德·特朗普一起在聯合基地安德魯斯歡迎三名被拘留在朝鮮的美國人回國。

Melania later went to Walter Reed Military Hospital for a minor kidney procedure on May 14, which her office says was successful.

之後，梅拉尼婭於5月14日前往沃爾特里德軍醫院進行了一個腎臟的小手術，她的辦公室表示手術很成功。

Many expressed concern over the first lady's well-being during her absence.

在這位第一夫人缺席期間，許多人對她的健康表示擔憂。

Some theories on social media claimed she had actually undergone more complicated plastic surgery, while others even guessed she had moved out of the White House or back to New York City. Her office quickly dismissed all those allegations.

社交媒體的一些論調稱梅拉尼婭實際上經歷了更復雜的整形手術，而另一些人甚至猜測她已經搬出白宮或回到紐約市。她的辦公室很快否認了所有這些說法。
