政治八卦:爆希拉里曾拒绝克林顿求婚
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton opened up about her marriage in an interview with actress and activist Lena Dunham published Tuesday.
前国务卿希拉里•克林顿于9月29日接受采访，向演员兼政治活跃分子莉娜•杜汉姆敞开心扉，畅谈自己的婚姻生活。
"I was terrified about losing my identity and getting lost in the wake of Bill’s force-of-nature personality," she said of the former president. "I actually turned him down twice when he asked me to marry him."
提到她丈夫，希拉里说：“比尔有种与生俱来的魅力，我一开始害怕在他面前迷失自我。事实上，前两次他向我求婚，我都拒绝了。”
"That was a large part of the ambivalence and the worry that I wouldn’t necessarily know who I was or what I could do if I got married to someone who was going to chart a path that he was incredibly clear about. My ideas were much more inchoate. I wasn’t sure how to best harness my energies. So I was searching," she added.
“那时候我左右为难，又焦虑万分，主要是因为找不到个人定位，对未来也毫无头绪。毕竟，比尔早已有了清晰的规划，可我还一头雾水。我不知道如何才能最好地发挥我的力量，所以一直在寻找方向，”她补充道。
Bill Clinton often recalls how he proposed twice, and how he initially felt that his future wife, who is again running for president, would be more suited for a life of public service.
比尔•克林顿谈及两度求婚遭拒的往事时则常说，一开始便预感希拉里这一生都会奉献给公共事业。如今，希拉里卷土重来，宣布再次竞选总统。
比尔•克林顿在接受E!新闻（E! News）采访时表示：“我告诉希拉里，‘我希望你嫁给我，但你不该这么做。’她说，‘这种求婚招数也太烂了吧。你到底想说什么呢？’于是我说，‘我爱你，你让我无限着迷，我们生活在一起会幸福的。不过，我觉得你是咱们这代人的政治天才。因此，你现在当务之急应是回到老家伊利诺伊州去竞选公职，或是去纽约闯一闯，当律师，竞选公职。’”
In her interview with Dunham, Hillary Clinton explained that she was worried how marriage would affect her teaching or her work at a legal-aid clinic.
在接受莉娜•杜汉姆的采访时，希拉里也表示，自己当时有教学任务，并在一家法律援助事务所工作，害怕婚姻对自己的事业带来影响。
“I loved doing that. And I wasn’t quite sure how everything I cared about might fit into a marriage with him. So eventually, I said yes. It was a big leap of faith, and I think most marriages are," she said. "You really do just sort of say, 'Okay, I think I know what it’s gonna be like, but I don’t know for sure. Let’s find out.'”
她说：“我很爱自己的工作，当时对事业与婚姻如何兼容也没想太多，但最后还是答应了比尔的求婚。结婚是放手一搏，不过我想大部分婚姻都这样。你会对另一半说，‘唔，我想我大概知道以后过日子是个什么样，但还不确定。那就让我们边走边看吧。’”
