Mr. Kaczynski's body arrived in Warsaw later in the afternoon and was driven in a cortege from the airport through the capital's city center and the narrow streets of its Old Town before arriving at the presidential palace, which served not only as Mr. Kaczynski's official residence, but also as his private home.
卡钦斯基的遗体周日下午晚些时候运抵华沙,灵车从机场经由华沙市中心和华沙老城的狭窄街道来到总统府,这里不仅是卡钦斯基的官邸,也是他的私人寓所。
