2018-03-05来源:和谐英语

Melania Trump obtained US citizenship on a visa reserved for immigrants with "extraordinary ability" and "sustained national and international acclaim", according to a report in the Washington Post.

根据华盛顿邮报的报道,梅拉尼亚-特朗普获得的美国公民身份,是为移民提供的“超凡能力”和“持续的国内和国际赞誉”的签证。

Nicknamed the "Einstein Visa", the EB-1 is in theory reserved for people who are highly acclaimed in their field - the government cites Pulitzer, Oscar, and Olympic winners as examples - as well as respected academic researchers and multinational executives.

绰号“爱因斯坦签证”,EB-1理论上保留给那些在其领域受到高度赞扬的人,政府援引例如普利策,奥斯卡和奥运获胜者,以及受尊敬的学术研究人员和跨国公司高管。

Mrs Trump began applying for the visa in 2000, when she was Melania Knauss, a Slovenian model working in New York and dating Donald Trump. She was approved in 2001, one of just five people from Slovenia to win the coveted visa that year, according to the Post.

特朗普女士于2000年开始申请签证,当时她是名为梅拉尼亚-克劳斯,是一名在纽约工作并与特朗普约会的斯洛文尼亚模特。据邮报报道,她于2001年获得批准,这是斯洛文尼亚仅有的五人之一中赢得当年令人垂涎的签证的人。

Becoming a citizen in 2006 gave her the right to sponsor her parents, Viktor and Amalija Knavs, who are now in the US and in the process of applying for citizenship.

在2006年成为公民后,她有权赞助她的父母Viktor和Amalija Knavs,他们现在在美国并正在申请公民资格。

The reports of how Mrs Trump obtained her EB-1 visa will rankle with some, at a time when her husband is railing against immigrants and attempting to scrap the right of new citizens to sponsor family members. And questions have been raised about her suitability for the extraordinary ability category.

有关特朗普夫人如何获得EB-1签证的报道将使得一些人为此争吵不休,因此此时她的丈夫正在对移民进行围攻并企图废除新公民资助其家庭成员的权利。还有人提出了关于她是否适合非凡能力类别的问题。
