美国第一夫人消失公众视野20天后首度发声

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.

在公众视线中消失已有20天并引起了一些猜测之后，美国第一夫人梅拉尼娅·特朗普在上周三重新露面，并发出了一则推文回复有关她下落的问题，并向媒体进行了抨击。

她在推特上说：“我看到媒体正在不分昼夜地猜测我在哪里以及我在做什么。放心，我在白宫，和我的家人在一起，我很好，我正在代表孩子们和美国人民努力工作!”

梅拉尼娅的宣传总监斯蒂芬妮·格里沙姆转发推文并说道：“这是直接来自美国第一夫人的消息!”
