Photos of White House adviser Kellyanne Conway kneeling on an Oval Office couch with her shoes on have sparked an online debate about decorum in the executive mansion.
美国白宫顾问康韦穿鞋跪在白宫沙发上的照片在网上引发了人们对白宫礼仪的热议。
Conway is seen perched on her knees on the couch with her feet behind her in photos taken Monday while President Trump met with leaders of historically black colleges and universities.
这张照片拍摄于周一，当时美国总统特朗普正会见多位美国非洲裔历史名校的校长。照片上，康韦跪在沙发上，双脚压在下面。
Some Twitter users were quick to highlight the photo as evidence of a lack of respect for the office from Conway and the Trump administration.
一些推特网友很快把这张照片作为康韦和特朗普政府不尊重白宫的证据。
我对这张照片有很多疑问，但最主要的是为什么没人告诉康韦把她的脚从沙发上拿下来？

康韦真是以白宫办公室为家，看上去她要窝在沙发里看一晚上《丑闻》了。

《纽约每日新闻》撰稿人、民权运动人士Shaun King在推特上发文说：“在白人军队领导人面前，康韦永远不会脱下鞋、跪在沙发上”。
还有些媒体人拿这件事来揶揄特朗普：
“I will only be able to get mad at the way Kellyanne Conway sits on a couch if it turns out she's hiding ... Trump's tax returns under her,” “Last Week Tonight” writer Josh Gondelman tweeted.
美国脱口秀Last Week Tonight撰稿人Josh Gondelman发推特说：“如果康韦这样坐在沙发上，是为了把特朗普的纳税申报单藏在身下，那我才真会疯掉了呢。”
But others pushed back, noting that an additional photo shows she was simply trying to position herself to snap a picture of the visitors with the president.
但也有人回应说，从另一张照片上可以看出，当时她只是想找个合适的位置给来访的客人们拍张照片。
“This is the dumbest outrage ever,” one Twitter user commented. Another called the fuss over the photo “exactly the reason people don’t take the media seriously.”
一位推特用户评论说：“这是有史以来最愚蠢的愤怒”。还有位用户称人们对照片的关注“恰好是人们不认真对待舆论的原因”。
“她只是在拍照片呢，这真是有史以来最愚蠢的愤怒。”

康韦本周二回应了人们的指责，说她“无意冒犯”。
“I was asked to take a certain angle [photo] and was doing exactly that. I certainly meant no disrespect, I didn’t mean to have my feet on the couch,” Conway said in an interview.
康韦接受采访时说：“当时让我从某个角度拍照，我正在拍。我当然无意冒犯，我不是故意踩沙发的。”
不过网友们已经开始恶搞：
