[双语新闻] 法总统萨科奇大选前得子

 

The Elysee Palace on Sunday fuelled rife speculation in France that Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, the first lady, has fallen pregnant with a long-expected first child by the French leader.
法国爱丽舍宫上周日传出喜讯，第一夫人卡拉•布吕尼-萨科奇可能已经怀孕，这将是法国总统夫妇期盼已久的第一个孩子。

Newspapers across the political spectrum on Sunday reported that the 43-year-old former model was expecting a first child with President Nicolas Sarkozy, 56, whom she married following a whirlwind romance in 2008.
上周日，法国全国不同政治派别的报纸都报道称，现年43岁的前模特布吕尼和56岁的法国总统尼古拉•萨科奇将迎来他们的第一个孩子。布吕尼和萨科奇在2008年闪婚。

Neither the Elysee Palace nor senior ministers denied the claims. A spokesman said the matter was part of the couple's private life and there would be no official statement.
爱丽舍宫和法国多名高级部长都没有否认此事。一位发言人称，这属于总统夫妇的私事，不会发表官方声明。
 

The latest edition of FrenchCloser claimed Mrs Bruni-Sarkozy is in the early weeks of pregnancy', meaning the child would be born just as the next presidential campaign hits its stride.
法国最新一期《Closer》杂志称，布吕尼孕期刚刚数周，因此孩子将在下届总统选举前出生。

Mr Sarkozy hopes to be returned to the Elysee Palace for a second term next spring.
萨科奇希望明年春天在大选中成功连任。

The magazine said ministers were informed of the pregnancy but warned not to leak the news because the condition is in early stages and 'fragile'.
杂志称，法国多名部长已被告知此事，但被要求暂时封口，因为布吕尼怀孕不久，还“不太稳定”。

Mrs Bruni-Sarkozy has often spoken of her desire to have children with Mr Sarkozy, explaining: "I hope to, if I am young enough. It would be a dream."
布吕尼曾多次表态希望给萨科奇添丁，她解释说：“如果我还够年轻，我希望能和他有个孩子。这是我的梦想。”

Over the Christmas period Ms Bruni-Sarkozy visited a shrine in India and told a Muslim cleric that she was praying for another son.
去年圣诞节期间，布吕尼还曾远赴印度一个宗教圣地，向一位穆斯林神职人员祈愿能生个儿子。
