长期采访产生爱情

    据报道，18日（星期一），罗雅尔宣布，她的伴侣弗朗索瓦·奥朗德已经搬离他们的住所，而目前她清楚地表示希望接替社会党第一书记的工作，而这一职位由奥朗德担任，即使奥朗德表示在2008年之前都不会离开该职位。

    Segolene Royal announced on Monday that her partner Francois Hollande had moved out of their home. And now Royal has made it clear that she wants to take over his job as general secretary of the Socialist party - even though Hollande has said he will not leave the post until 2008.

    法国民众虽然对公众人物之间夸大的争吵细节嗤之以鼻，但对于这对法国左翼政治黄金搭档的分道扬镳，却引起了他们非常大的兴趣。因为这不仅仅是传闻奥朗德与一名政治女记者发生恋情，在罗雅尔于20日出版的新书里，也有隐射这段“外遇”关系的内容。

    The French are usually sniffily ambivalent about the detail of romantic disputes among public figures.But this particular break-up has caused extraordinary interest as the French people gaze at the wreckage of the golden couple of Left-wing French politics. Not least because Hollande is rumoured to have been having an affair with a political journalist. Royal herself alludes to the liaison in a book out on June 20th.

    据至少两个法国政治网站曝光，这名女子名为瓦莱丽·特里尔韦勒。她受雇于法国潮流周刊杂志《Paris Match》，是该杂志的时政女记者，而她做报道的对象不是别人，正是法国社会党，这也包括了对奥朗德的人物描写。在长期的工作接触里，他们逐渐产生了感情。该事件发生后，她当时报道的客观性让人产生质疑。

    At least two of France's political websites have named the other woman as Valèrie Trierweiler. Since Trierweiler is employed by the glossy weekly Paris Match to report on none other than France's Parti Socialiste, and has written profiles on Hollande.They fell in love during the long interview working.Her objectivity is being called into question.

    民众更同情奥朗德

    然而，更让人讶异的是，尽管奥朗德在出轨一事上显然行为不端，但许多同情的声音不是对罗雅尔，而是对奥朗德。不过，他是应该得到一些同情的，他一直要忍受着与野心勃勃的罗雅尔之间的吃力关系。一份来自法国的舆论描述上表示，奥朗德看起来很迟钝且妄自尊大，特别跟个性活泼的罗雅尔相比。

    And the extraordinary thing is that, despite his apparent misdemeanours, many are sympathising not with Segolene, but with Hollande. Once described in his country that Hollande may sometimes seem dull and selfimportant, especially when compared with the vivacious Royal.But he deserves some compassion for having endured the most exacting of relationships with the ambitious Segolene.

    此外，在法国社会，通常原谅犯下错误的男性要比忽视自己传统角色的女性要容易得多，罗雅尔，尽管她具备女性的迷人气质，但现在她应该认识到，当其好奇地做了女性不应该做的事后所要付出的代价。虽然她有4个年纪在14岁至22岁之间的孩子，但评论家称，即使她涂上口红，穿上姿态优美的高跟鞋，还是缺乏作为妻子或是母亲的品质。

    In a society that often forgives men who wander more readily than women who neglect their traditional role, Royal - for all her womanly charms - is now perceived as curiously unfeminine. She may have four children ranging in age from 14 to 22, but critics say that despite the lipstick and well-turned heel, she has few wifely or maternal qualities.

    一些社会党领袖公开表示，他们政党的前景已经因罗雅尔和奥朗德关系的瓦解而严重受损。

    Some leading socialists are openly saying that their party's prospects have been gravely damaged by the disintegration of relations between Royal and Hollande. （倩 子）
