白宫有人参加反特朗普集会,官方表示不知情

President Trump’s top spokesman said Wednesday that he’s not aware of any White House employees who skipped work to attend the “Day Without a Woman” protests.

本周三,总统特朗普的首席发言人表示,他没有发现白宫内有谁翘班去参加“没有女人的日子”的女权游行。

"I am not aware of any that are not here,” White House press secretary Sean Spicer told reporters. Spicer, who was accompanied in the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room by an all-female team of aides, defended Trump’s efforts to promote women’s hiring and entrepreneurship. Demonstrations and strikes are taking place in cities across the country Wednesday against Trump's agenda.

“我没有发现有任何人缺席”白宫新闻发言人西恩斯派斯告诉记者,他是詹姆斯布兰迪白宫发言室的一员,该新闻室全部都是女性助手,为特朗普就促进女性就业和创业的工作提供有力的辩护。但周三在全国爆发的游行示威和罢工却阻挠了特朗普的日常事务。

The demonstrations were organized to coincide with International Women’s Day and have resulted in some closed schools and businesses. They are a follow-up to protests dubbed Women’s Marches that took place the day after Trump’s Jan. 20 inauguration. Protesters have taken issue with Trump’s crude comments about women and policy positions they say infringe on women’s rights.

该示威游行特地选在国际妇女节那天,导致学校放假、商店歇业。该游行是继特朗普1月20日就职典礼当天妇女权益示威游行的后续。游行者从特朗普就妇女和政治地位的不当言论出发,指责他损害妇女权益。

One group marched on Pennsylvania Avenue past the White House earlier on Wednesday. While Spicer plugged Trump’s agenda, he declined to criticize the demonstrators. "It's a free country,” he said. “People have a right to express themselves."

周三早些时候,有一组在宾夕法尼亚大道上经过白宫的游行队伍。当时斯派斯临时取消了特朗普的行程,他拒绝评论示威者,并表示“这是个自由的国度,人民有权发表自己的言论。”
