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.
法國愛麗舍宮上周日傳出喜訊,第一夫人卡拉•布呂尼-薩科奇可能已經(jīng)懷孕,這將是法國總統(tǒng)夫婦期盼已久的第一個(gè)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,法國全國不同政治派別的報(bào)紙都報(bào)道稱,現(xiàn)年43歲的前模特布呂尼和56歲的法國總統(tǒng)尼古拉•薩科奇將迎來他們的第一個(gè)孩子。布呂尼和薩科奇在2008年閃婚。
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.
愛麗舍宮和法國多名高級(jí)部長(zhǎng)都沒有否認(rèn)此事。一位發(fā)言人稱,這屬于總統(tǒng)夫婦的私事,不會(huì)發(fā)表官方聲明。
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.

雜志稱,法國多名部長(zhǎng)已被告知此事,但被要求暫時(shí)封口,因?yàn)椴紖文釕言胁痪?,還“不太穩(wěn)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."
布呂尼曾多次表態(tài)希望給薩科奇添丁,她解釋說:“如果我還夠年輕,我希望能和他有個(gè)孩子。這是我的夢(mèng)想。”
