關於新晉法國第一夫人你所需要知道的一切

Everything You Need to Know About the New First Lady of France

譯者：韓小女 原文作者：PATRICIA GARCIA

You would be forgiven for thinking, at first glance, that the love story between France』s new president, Emmanuel Macron, and his wife, Brigitte, was par for the course. Like most romances, it starts off when boy meets girl, and in their case, in high school. Boy and girl fall in love, even though everyone is against it. Years later, boy marries girl. And even more years later that boy ends up becoming the president of France. Here』s the twist: The girl was that boy』s teacher.

如果說你對法國總統和第一夫人的的愛情故事的第一感受是「意料之中」，這一點也是可以理解的。如大多數的浪漫故事一樣，這一切始於一個男孩遇見了一個女孩，這段戀情始於高中校園。面對全世界的阻攔，他們仍然義無反顧地相愛了。多年以後，男孩成為了法國總統，而愛情始終沒有變過。故事中有一個意想不到的轉折：女孩是這個男孩的老師。

穿著幹練而有女人味

Yes, the 64-year-old Brigitte, née Trogneux, first met Emmanuel, 39, when he was 15 and she was teaching an after-school drama program at his high school in the small town of Amiens. Back then, she was a married schoolteacher and had three kids, one of whom was a classmate of Emmanuel』s. He quickly fell for her, while Brigitte has said she was initially blown away by her student』s precociousness, saying, 「I was totally overcome by the intelligence of this boy.」 The two grew close, and when his parents found out, they sent him to finish school in Paris with the hope that he would forget about Brigitte. Instead, he promised he would marry her one day. (Très romantique!)

現年64歲的布麗吉特第一次與埃馬紐埃爾相遇時已經39歲了，而當時埃馬紐埃爾年僅15歲。布麗吉特當時在亞眠的一個小鎮上的高中當老師，她負責指導課餘戲劇興趣小組。當時，她是一名已婚教師，育有三個孩子，其中一個孩子甚至是埃馬紐埃爾的同學。埃馬紐埃爾迅速愛上了這位女教師，而布麗吉特則表示一開始她完全被這個早熟的孩子驚到了，她說：「我完全為這個男孩的睿智所折服。」兩人的關係越來越密切，而當埃馬紐埃爾的父母發現此事後，他們安排埃馬紐埃爾轉學到巴黎繼續完成學業。父母希望藉此機會能讓埃馬紐埃爾忘記布麗吉特。然而，事與願違，此時的埃馬紐埃爾已經下定決心，有朝一日一定要贏取他心愛的布麗吉特。

最近的帥氣亮相

While most stories of star-crossed love would have ended there, Emmanuel kept his promise. In 2007, when he was 29 and she was divorced, Macron asked Brigitte』s children for her hand in marriage; they all gave their blessing. The two have been inseparable ever since, and their families all seem to get along pretty well. Brigitte』s daughter Tiphaine worked on Emmanuel』s presidential campaign, and according to reports, her seven grandchildren affectionately call Emmanuel 「Daddy.」

儘管大部分悲情故事都會終結於此，埃馬紐埃爾卻遵守了自己的諾言。2007年，埃馬紐埃爾29歲，而此時布麗吉特也以恢復單身，於是埃馬紐埃爾便徵求了布麗吉特子女的意見，希望能與布麗吉特結婚。這段婚姻得到了孩子們的支持與祝福。兩個人從此幸福低生活在了一起，家人也和睦相處。布麗吉特的女兒蒂凡納（Tiphaine）參與埃馬紐埃爾的競選工作，據報道。

弗朗索瓦·奧朗德與瓦萊麗·特里耶維勒

While Brigitte (or more accurately, her age) has caused a stir around the world, those who keep up with French politics know she』s only the latest in a series of unconventional first ladies moving into the élysée Palace. In 2008, there was Carla Bruni, the former model and musician whom then-President Nicolas Sarkozy publicly courted and later married just a few months after meeting her at a dinner party. And then came Valérie Trierweiler, a former Paris Match journalist who fell in love with politician Fran?ois Hollande while he was still with his partner, Ségolène Royal. The two never married, but as Hollande』s partner, Trierweiler became France』s first lady in 2012. Only two years later, Trierweiler moved out of the élysée Palace after it was revealed Hollande was sneaking off on secret rendezvous with another woman, actress Julie Gayet. How very French indeed.

布麗吉特，準確地說時布麗吉特的年齡在全世界引起了軒然大波，然後熟悉法國政壇的人都清楚，事實上她只不過是又一位入主愛麗舍宮的非傳統第一夫人。2008年的卡拉·布魯尼，作為一名前模特兼音樂人，她遭遇前總統尼古拉·薩科齊的公開示愛，並在兩人初遇後的幾個月內閃婚。緊接著，曾任《巴黎競賽》記者的瓦萊麗·特里耶維勒與弗朗索瓦·奧朗德墜入愛河，儘管當時弗朗索瓦仍與塞戈萊納·羅亞爾保持著戀人關係。瓦萊麗·特里耶維勒和弗朗索瓦·奧朗德並未成婚，但2012年她仍已第一夫人的身份入住愛麗舍宮。然而僅僅兩年後，奧朗德被曝與女演員茱莉·嘉葉秘密約會，特里耶維勒隨後搬出愛麗舍宮。多麼典型的法國故事呀！

Yet despite their scandalous predecessors, the Macrons』 24-year age gap (which, it must be pointed out, is the same age difference between Donald and Melania Trump) has led to more than a few raised eyebrows, even among the unflappable French. The May-December relationship has led to rumors that Emmanuel is actually a closeted gay man, speculation that he laughed off during the campaign, accusing his critics of sexism. 「If I was 20 years older than my wife, no one would have questioned it being a legitimate relationship,」 he said to Le Parisien. 「It』s only because my wife is 20 years older than me that people say it』s not tenable.」 And he has a point. During last year』s American election, the vast difference in age between the Trumps rarely if ever came up as an issue. And when it was revealed Mick Jagger, 73, was having a baby with his 30-year-old girlfriend late last year, their 43-year age gap barely registered beyond a few tabloid items.

儘管有這些醜聞式的前輩在先，馬克龍夫婦的24歲的年齡差仍然引人側目，即使是無比淡定的法國人亦是極為驚訝。必須指出的是，事實上，唐納德·特朗普和梅拉尼亞·特朗普的年齡差同樣是24歲。這段老妻少夫的關係甚至引發了埃馬紐埃爾是未出櫃的同性戀的謠言，埃馬紐埃爾在競選活動中的一笑置之，指責他的批評者是性別歧視。「如果我比我的妻子年長20歲，就絕不會有人質疑這段關係的合理性了。」埃馬紐埃爾對《巴黎人》說，「現在僅僅因為我的妻子比我年長，人們就認為這段關係不可靠了。」在去年的美國大選中，特朗普夫婦的巨大年齡差幾乎沒有成為人們關注的焦點。同樣的，73歲米克·賈格爾在去年和他30歲的小女友生子，他們之間43歲的年齡差也僅僅被一些小報所關注。

特朗普夫婦

Rather than keeping their relationship low-profile, the Macrons have instead decided to fully embrace the spotlight, taking every opportunity to praise each other in public. 「Without her, I wouldn』t be me,」 he once said.

馬克龍夫婦選擇全身心接受社會的廣泛關注，而不是對這段關係保持低調，他們在各種公開場合互相稱讚，大秀恩愛。「沒有她，我將不能成為今日的我。」埃馬紐埃爾曾這樣說。
