愛潑斯坦案的陰影,至今仍像一團濃霧,籠罩在歐美政壇上空。
近日,外媒再度曝出爆炸性新聞:美國前總統比爾·克林頓(Hillary Clinton)與前國務卿希拉里·克林頓(Hillary Clinton),因愛潑斯坦案被國會傳喚作證。
消息一出,迅速引發全球嘩然。這對曾經站在美國權力巔峰的“第一夫妻”,再次被推上風口浪尖。

事實上,比爾·克林頓與愛潑斯坦之間的關系,早已不是秘密。多年來,外界不斷披露兩人存在密切往來。

克林頓當天接受了6個多小時問詢。希拉里則在前一天接受了約7個小時的閉門問詢。此后,克林頓還在個人社交媒體上發布了一個視頻,堅持為自己辯護:

在視頻中,克林頓嚴厲批評了委員會前一天強行要求其妻子、前國務卿希拉里出庭作證的做法。希拉里也在自己的證詞中明確表示,她從未與愛潑斯坦有過任何交集。
"Before we start, I have to get personal," Bill, 79, said. "You made Hillary come in. She had nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein. Nothing. She has no memory of even meeting him. She neither traveled with him nor visited any of his properties. Whether you subpoenaed 10 people or 10,000, including her was simply not right."
“在正式開始之前,我想先說幾句私人的話,”79歲的比爾表示,“你們把希拉里也叫來了。她和杰弗里·愛潑斯坦毫無關系,一點關系都沒有。她甚至不記得是否見過他。她從未和他一同出行,也從未去過他的任何房產。不管你們傳喚10個人,還是1萬人,把她也列入其中,都是不恰當的。”

克林頓隨后再次重申了自己長期以來的說法,他“沒有做錯任何事情”,也未曾看到任何跡象表明愛潑斯坦存在虐待或犯罪行為。
"No matter how many photos you show me, I have two things that at the end of the day matter more than your interpretation of those 20-year-old photos: I know what I saw, and more importantly, what I didn't see," he said. "I know what I did, and more importantly, what I didn't do.I saw nothing, and I did nothing wrong."
“不管你們給我看多少照片,有兩點比你們對這些20年前舊照的揣測更重要:我很清楚自己看到了什么,更清楚自己沒看到什么,”他說道,“我清楚自己做了什么,更清楚自己沒做過什么。我什么也沒看見,更沒有做錯任何事。”
"As someone who grew up in a home with domestic abuse, not only would I not have flown on his plane if I had any inkling of what he was doing-I would have turned him in myself and led the call for justice for his crimes, not sweetheart deals," Bill continued.
比爾接著說:“我是在一個充斥著家暴的家庭長大的。如果我對他所做的勾當有哪怕一絲察覺,我絕對不會上他的飛機——我甚至還會親手把他送進監獄,帶頭為他的罪行討回公道,絕不會讓他得到任何私下的包庇優待。”
"But even with20/20 hindsight, I saw nothing that ever gave me pause. We are only here because he hid it from everyone so well for so long. And by the time it came to light with his 2008 guilty plea, I had long stopped associating with him."
“但即便現在回過頭來看,我也沒發現過任何可疑之處。我們今天之所以在這里,只是因為他把一切掩藏得太好,長時間騙過了所有人。等到2008年他認罪、真相浮出水面時,我早已和他斷絕了來往。”
【讀外刊學英語】:20/20 vision:英語里表示“視力完美、看得非常清楚”,hindsight:事后回顧、事后視角,連在一起可以表示“事后看得一清二楚”,或者“事后諸葛亮”。

然而,在愛潑斯坦案文件公開后,克林頓的多張私密影像被曝光。其中一張尤為引人關注:他坐在熱水按摩浴缸中,身旁緊貼著一名面部被打碼的神秘女性。對此,克林頓方面態度強硬,矢口否認所有不當指控。
When questioned about the photograph showing the former president lounging in a hot tub with the person who appeared to be a woman - whose face is blacked out to protect her identity - Bill Clinton told lawmakers that he did not know her. When asked if he had sex with the woman, he said he did not, a source told the BBC.
據BBC報道,當克林頓被問及那張他坐在熱水浴缸中、身旁有一名面部被打碼以保護身份信息的女性照片時,他向立法者表示,并不認識這名女性。當被追問是否與該女性發生性關系時,他否認了這一說法。
