选美冠军桂冠被抢走?
Controversy erupted at the Mrs. Sri Lanka beauty pageant on Sunday, when a former title holder took the crown off the winner's head and falsely claimed she was a divorcee and therefore ineligible to take part.
周日举行的斯里兰卡小姐选美比赛发生了一起风波,上届冠军选手抢走了本次冠军的桂冠,并声称她离过婚,没有资格参赛。
Pushpika De Silva was named the competition winner to applause and cheers from spectators in the Sri Lankan capital Colombo. Video footage from the event showed organizers placing the winners' sash around De Silva and the crown on her head.
在斯里兰卡首都科伦坡,普什皮卡·德·席尔瓦赢得了观众的掌声和欢呼,比赛视频显示,组织者将获胜者的绶带戴在德·席尔瓦身上,同时也将皇冠戴在了她的头上。
Shortly afterward, the pageant's 2019 winner and Mrs. World 2020, Caroline Jurie, took to the stage and picked up the microphone.
不久之后,2019年选美大赛的冠军、2020年世界小姐卡罗琳·朱莉走上舞台,拿起了麦克风。
"I have a small request," she said.
“我有一个小小的请求,”她说。
"As for the Mrs. World Inc., there's a rule that you'll have to be married, and not divorced. So, I'm taking my first step saying that the crown goes to the first runner-up."
“对于世界小姐选美主办方来说,有一天规则是你必须结婚,但是必能离婚。因此,我在这里首先宣布,桂冠应该属于第二名选手。”
Jurie then turned to a stunned De Silva, forcefully took the crown off her head and placed it on the first runner-up, who broke into tears and thanked the judges as De Silva walked away.
朱莉后来转身走到惊呆了的德·席尔瓦面前,用力将皇冠从她头上取下,然后把它戴在了第二名选手的头上,第二名选手感激涕零,向评委致以谢意,而德·席尔瓦则转身离去。

After the incident, organizers declared De Silva the official winner of the pageant, and said in a statement that contestants who were "legally married" were allowed to compete.
这次风波发生后,主办方宣布德·席尔瓦才是官方的获胜者,并在一则声明中说只要是合法结过婚的参赛者都有资格参选。

德·席尔瓦周一在脸书上发表的一则声明中说她目前“因为个人原因”跟丈夫分居了,不过她们还没有离婚。
If she had been ineligible, she would have been removed from the competition at the start, she said.
如果她的状况不具备参赛资格的话,他们应该一开始就不让她参赛才对,她说道。
In her statement, De Silva described the incident as an insult and decried Jurie's actions, saying true queens do not snatch other women's crowns.
