被问“谁选的布达佩斯？”白宫语出惊人：你妈
双语君约 4 分钟美国总统特朗普16日在社交媒体上发文称他将与俄罗斯总统普京在布达佩斯会晤。美国《赫芬顿邮报》记者对此提问：“为什么选定布达佩斯为会晤地？”白宫新闻秘书卡罗琳·莱维特回复：“你妈定的。”
US President Donald Trump announced Thursday that he will soon meet with Putin in Budapest, Hungary, to discuss an end to the war in Ukraine.
When HuffPost asked the White House who chose the location for the meeting, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt replied, "Your mom did."
白宫新闻秘书卡罗琳·莱维特
乌克兰曾于1994年在布达佩斯签署《布达佩斯安全保障备忘录》，承诺放弃核武器以换取俄罗斯对其领土完整和主权的尊重。该报记者基于这一历史背景向白宫提问，没有想到发言人反应如此激烈。
The Hungarian capital was the site of the 1994 Budapest Memorandum, in which Ukraine gave up the thousands of nuclear weapons it had inherited upon the breakup of the Soviet Union in return for assurances that Russia would respect Ukraine's territorial integrity.
此后《赫芬顿邮报》又询问莱维特是否认为自己的回答非常有趣，该媒体收到莱维特“更毒”的回复：“你居然真把自己当个记者了，真有意思。别再给我发你那些虚伪的、有偏见的狗屁问题了。”
HuffPost then asked Leavitt if she thought her response was funny.
She responded: "It's funny to me that you actually consider yourself a journal [sic]. You are a far left hack who nobody takes seriously, including your colleagues in the media, they just don't tell you that to your face. Stop texting me your disingenuous, biased, and bulls*** questions."
另据英媒《独立报》报道，当被问及“你妈”这样的话作为官方回答是否合适时，白宫发言人泰勒·罗杰斯称，这样的回应 “非常恰当”。
When The Independent asked the White House if "your mom" was an appropriate answer, spokesperson Taylor Rogers responded that it was "more than appropriate".
罗杰斯还声称，“收到这些信息的人并非真正的记者，而是民主党活动人士。因此，他们得到这样的回应非常恰当。白宫新闻团队每天都会处理并回应数百条来自真正记者的严肃问询，我们没时间浪费在党派投机分子身上！”
"The individual who received these texts is not a real reporter, they're a Democrat activist. As a result, the response they received was more than appropriate," Rogers said. "The White House press team fields and responds to hundreds of serious requests every day from actual reporters — we don't have time to waste on partisan hacks!"
无独有偶，五角大楼发言人在回应记者质询时也用了类似句式。
据美国《赫芬邮报》当地时间20日报道，美国国防部长赫格塞思日前在参加美国总统特朗普和乌克兰总统泽连斯基的会晤时，佩戴了一条红白蓝三色相间的领带，并因其与俄罗斯国旗颜色及排列顺序一致而引发舆论关注。五角大楼首席发言人肖恩·帕内尔在被问及相关问题时回答称，“你妈给他买的。”
Meanwhile, the Pentagon's top spokesman reportedly continued the "your mom" barbs on Tuesday when asked about a tie recently worn by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, which resembled the Russian flag. Hegseth had worn the tie during Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's visit to the White House and received praise from Russian officials and media for it.

《赫芬邮报》报道称，在该媒体记者提问称赫格塞思是否知道俄方对上述领带的关注以及他此前是否曾佩戴过该领带时，帕内尔回答称：“你妈给他买的——这是一条爱国的美国领带，白痴。”
When HuffPost asked Hegseth's aides if he was aware of the praise from Russia and if he had worn the tie previously, Pentagon chief spokesman Sean Parnell responded with the prepared statement: "Your mom bought it for him — and it's a patriotic American tie, moron."
