因爲一頂帽子,美國第一夫人可被噴慘了

Melania Trump has responded to the criticism that she received when she was pictured wearing a pith helmet in Africa.

梅拉尼婭·特朗普迴應了對於她被拍攝到的在非洲戴的太陽帽的批評。

The first lady's decision to wear the hat led some to accuse her of having an “outdated understanding” of Africa, due to the association between the headwear and colonial rule in the continent.

由於頭飾與非洲大陸的殖民統治之間的聯繫，第一夫人戴那頂太陽帽的決定導致一些人指責她對非洲有“過時的理解”。

When questioned about the controversy in Egypt as part of her first international solo tour since her husband was sworn into office as president, Ms Trump expressed her wish for people to stop focusing on her clothes.

自從她的丈夫宣誓就任總統以來，這是她第一次獨自國際出行，對於這次飽受爭議的埃及之旅，特朗普夫人表達了她希望人們不要再關注她的衣服的願望。

“I want to talk about my trip and not what I wear.

“我想談談我的旅行，而不是我穿的衣服。”

“That's very important what I do, what we're doing with USAID and what I do with my initiatives. “

這對我所做的事情非常重要，包括我們與美國國際開發署的合作和我的初衷。

“The pith helmet was frequently worn by military personnel from countries including Britain, France, Spain and Italy while commanding colonial armies, which is why many people found Ms Trump's choice to wear it in Africa highly contentious.

英國，法國，西班牙和意大利等國的軍事人員指揮殖民軍時經常佩戴同樣的太陽帽，這就是爲什麼許多人覺得特朗普夫人在非洲的服飾選擇非常有爭議。

While Ms Trump has stated that she'd prefer for people to focus more on her actions than her sartorial choices, some people have explained why she needs to be taking greater responsibility when she wears clothes that cause controversy.

雖然特朗普夫人表示，她更願意讓人們更多地關注她的行動，而不是她的服裝選擇，但有人解釋了爲什麼她需要爲自己具有爭議性的穿着承擔更大的責任。

“we don't want to talk about your fashion choices either. We'd rather talk about the message you send with your fashion choices,” one person tweeted.

“我們也不想談論你的時尚選擇。我們寧願談論你的選擇中傳遞的信息。” 一位網友發推文說。

Earlier this year, the first lady came under fire for wearing a jacket adorned with the slogan “I Really Don't Care, Do U?” while visiting children at the US-Mexico border who'd been separated from their parents.

今年早些時候，第一夫人因爲在探訪美國墨西哥邊境與父母分離的兒童時穿着一件寫着“我真的不在乎，你呢？”的夾克而遭到抨擊。
