ELISABETH BUMILLER2026年10月14日It started out so well for her.起初，她的一切都那么顺利。Kimberly Guilfoyle, the U.S. ambassador to Greece until she was effectively fired on live television on Tuesday when the new White House press secretary said that President Trump had asked for her resignation, was at one point engaged to Donald Trump Jr., the president’s eldest son. The couple owned a $9.7 million home in Florida, appeared at Trump rallies together and sent each other adoring posts on Instagram.金伯莉·吉尔福伊尔曾是美国驻希腊大使，直到周二，白宫新任新闻秘书在电视直播中宣布特朗普总统已要求她辞职，她实际上就这样被公开解职。吉尔福伊尔曾与总统的长子小唐纳德·特朗普订婚。两人在佛罗里达州拥有一栋价值970万美元的豪宅，一起出席特朗普的竞选集会，还经常在Instagram上向彼此公开示爱。“Falling in love with my fiancé more and more every day,” Ms. Guilfoyle posted on Instagram on Valentine’s Day 2022. “@donaldjtrumpjr, you’re my best friend, my support system and my forever guy.”“我每天都比前一天更加爱我的未婚夫，”吉尔福伊尔在2022年情人节的一则Instagram帖子中写道。“@donaldjtrumpjr，你是我最好的朋友，是我的精神支柱，也是我想相伴一生的男人。”“Thanks for always being there no matter what the haters are throwing our way,” he posted in 2024. “I love you.”“谢谢你始终陪在我身边，无论那些讨厌我们的人怎样攻击我们，”小特朗普在2024年发帖写道。“我爱你。”Today, the junior Mr. Trump is married to a Florida socialite and model. And Ms. Guilfoyle, who was nominated as ambassador to Greece by the president soon after her engagement to his son was broken off two years ago, is out of a job after a series of damning reports in The Wall Street Journal, including that she asked a Republican donor to pay off $100,000 on her American Express credit card just before her Senate confirmation hearing in July 2025.如今，小特朗普已经娶了一名来自佛罗里达州的名媛兼模特。吉尔福伊尔则在两年前与他解除婚约后不久获得特朗普总统提名，出任美国驻希腊大使，如今却丢了工作。此前，《华尔街日报》接连发表了多篇对她不利的报道，其中一篇披露，2025年7月，就在参议院举行她的大使任命确认听证会之前，她曾要求一名共和党捐款人替她偿还美国运通信用卡上的10万美元欠款。The rise and fall of Ms. Guilfoyle, 57, was not a surprise at the White House, where many saw her as a flamboyant party girl with questionable judgment.现年57岁的吉尔福伊尔经历了从风光无限到黯然失势的转变，在白宫，很多人对此并不意外，他们认为她是一个作风张扬、热衷派对、判断力令人质疑的女人。Her supporters said she was in fact a substantive person underneath the glitz. Ms. Guilfoyle, a former Fox News host and a former prosecutor in San Francisco and Los Angeles, was once married to Gavin Newsom, who would go on to become governor of California and one of the Democratic Party’s most outspoken critics of Mr. Trump.她的支持者说，在浮华外表之下，她其实是个有内涵的人。吉尔福伊尔曾是福克斯新闻主持人，也曾在旧金山和洛杉矶担任检察官，还曾与加文·纽森有过一段婚姻。纽森后来成为加利福尼亚州州长，也是民主党内最直言不讳的特朗普批评者之一。2003年，吉尔福伊尔与当时的丈夫加文·纽森在他赢得旧金山市长选举后合影。纽森后来成为加利福尼亚州州长，也是民主党内最直言不讳的特朗普批评者之一。 Marcio Jose Sanchez/Associated PressEither way, Ms. Guilfoyle was a Trump insider with a prominent role in the family and its political operation. The president’s swiftness in firing her showed his willingness to cut off anyone who becomes a liability and an embarrassment. But it also left her with little reason to remain loyal to the president and his family at a time when Mr. Trump’s political authority is ebbing.无论如何，吉尔福伊尔曾是特朗普圈内人，在这个家族及其政治运作中扮演着重要角色。总统如此迅速地将她解职，表明他愿意毫不犹豫地与任何成为负担、令他难堪的人切割。但与此同时，在特朗普政治权威日渐衰落之际，此举也让吉尔福伊尔几乎没有理由继续效忠总统及其家族。In announcing her resignation, she decried what she called false accusations and said she would vigorously defend her reputation. Speaking to reporters outside the White House, Mr. Trump did little to suggest he would continue to keep her close.在宣布辞职时，她谴责了她所称的不实指控，并表示将竭尽全力维护自己的声誉。而特朗普在白宫外对记者发表讲话时，几乎没有流露出继续与她保持亲近关系的意思。“She wasn’t a member of my family,” he said. “She, I guess, dated my son a long time ago.”“她又不是我的家人，”他说。“我猜，她很久以前跟我儿子交往过。”Ms. Guilfoyle, who arrived in Greece less than a year ago, was a highly unusual choice for the role to begin with.吉尔福伊尔女士不到一年前抵达希腊，而从一开始，她就不是这个职位的寻常人选。In a sense, it was Don Jr. who got her the job, indirectly. In December 2024 he and the socialite and model, Bettina Anderson, were seen holding hands as they left a Palm Beach restaurant. The next day, President-elect Trump announced that Ms. Guilfoyle was his pick to be ambassador to Greece.从某种意义上说，是小唐纳德间接让她得到了这份工作。2024年12月，有人看到他和社会名媛兼模特贝蒂娜·安德森手牵手离开棕榈滩一家餐厅。次日，当选总统特朗普宣布，吉尔福伊尔是他驻希腊大使的人选。The timing suggested the president wanted her out of the country at an awkward time for Don Jr., who married Ms. Anderson this year. Ms. Guilfoyle’s allies said that was not the case, although Greeks at the time wondered if they were simply getting the woman who had been jilted by the president’s son.这一时机表明，总统想在小唐纳德尴尬之际把她送出国外。小唐纳德今年与安德森结婚。吉尔福伊尔的盟友否认了这种说法，但当时希腊人也不禁怀疑，美国是不是只不过把一个被总统儿子抛弃的女人派给了他们。In Athens, Ms. Guilfoyle became a sensation as soon as she arrived, on the private jet of a multimillionaire Greek American businessman. She wore a partly sheer black evening dress to a Thanksgiving week dinner, joked with the Greek president when she presented her credentials that she was working on finding a new husband and stayed out until the small hours of the morning at Athens nightclubs.在雅典，吉尔福伊尔乘坐一位希腊裔美国亿万富翁商人的私人飞机抵达后，立刻引起轰动。感恩节那一周，她穿着一袭局部透视的黑色晚礼服出席晚宴。在递交国书时与希腊总统开玩笑说，她正在努力寻找新丈夫。她还经常流连雅典的夜总会，直到凌晨才离开。“Oh, I wasn’t late, it was like before 3,” Ms. Guilfoyle said in an interview with The New York Times last year, referring to how she had turned up at a nightclub for the 1:30 a.m. premiere show of her friend, one of the country’s most famous pop singers, Konstantinos Argiros.“哦，不算晚，大概不到3点，”吉尔福伊尔去年接受《纽约时报》采访时说，指的是自己曾在凌晨1点半赶到一家夜总会，观看好友、希腊最著名的流行歌手之一康斯坦丁诺斯·阿尔吉罗斯的首演。2023年，小唐纳德·特朗普与吉尔福伊尔在年度保守派政治行动会议上，当时两人已订婚。2024年底，在小特朗普被拍到与社交名媛兼模特贝蒂娜·安德森——如今是他的妻子——手牵手后不久，她被提名为驻希腊大使。Paparazzi followed her everywhere, but Greeks at the time said Ms. Guilfoyle worked as hard as she played. By the nature of her position and what they saw as her access to the White House, they viewed her as one of the most important people in the country. Mostly forgotten were her words on Fox during the Greek financial crisis in 2015, when she called Greeks “freeloaders” who should be punished like a dog that “pees on the rug.”狗仔队到处跟着她，但当时希腊人说，吉尔福伊尔玩得凶，工作也努力。由于她的职位性质以及他们认为她能接触白宫，他们把她视为该国最重要的人物之一。人们大多忘了她在2015年希腊金融危机期间在福克斯新闻说过的话——当时她称希腊人是“白吃白喝的人”，应该像“在地毯上撒尿”的狗一样受到惩罚。Early on, Ms. Guilfoyle announced two important business deals, the development of a U.S.-backed port near Athens and the exploration for natural gas off the island of Corfu. Both were in the works long before she arrived in Athens, but Greek officials said she had jumped into the plans months earlier and wanted them announced on her watch.上任不久，吉尔福伊尔便宣布了两项重要的商业协议：在雅典附近开发一个由美国支持的港口，以及在科孚岛附近勘探天然气。这两个项目早在她抵达雅典之前就已开始筹划，但希腊官员表示，她在几个月前就已参与其中，并希望在自己的任期内宣布这些项目。Adonis Georgiadis, Greece’s health minister and a vice president of the governing conservative party, was among those impressed. “When she was first named, the people were, ‘What’s that?’” he said. But if she delivers, he said, “who cares if she has a see-through dress?”希腊卫生部长、执政的保守党副主席阿多尼斯·乔治亚迪斯便是对她印象深刻的人士之一。“她刚获得提名时，人们都在问：‘这是什么情况？’”他说。但他表示，只要她能干出成绩，“谁还在乎她是不是穿了一件透视装？”Her downfall began last month, after The Journal reported about Ms. Guilfoyle and her potential conflicts of interest over energy deals in the Balkans. But it accelerated with the report this month that she had secretly begged a Republican donor to pay her credit card debt while she was waiting to be confirmed as ambassador.吉尔福伊尔的失势始于上个月，当时《华尔街日报》报道了她与巴尔干地区能源交易之间可能存在的利益冲突。但真正加速她垮台的是该报本月的一篇报道，这篇报道披露，在等待大使任命获得确认期间，她曾私下恳求一名共和党捐款人替她偿还信用卡债务。“Honey please I need you to get this done for me today,” she wrote in what appeared to be a text message to the donor, Eric Deters. Mr. Deters provided what appeared to be screenshots of their correspondence to The Times after the initial report by The Journal.“亲爱的，拜托，我需要你今天替我把这件事办妥，”她在一则似乎是发给捐款人埃里克·迪特斯的短信中写道。在《华尔街日报》最初报道后，迪特斯向《纽约时报》提供了据称是两人通信记录的截图。It is unclear what Ms. Guilfoyle will do now. Once a legal analyst for CNN and ABC in New York, her career at Fox ended in 2018, when two people familiar with her exit told The Times on the condition of anonymity that she had been forced to leave over questions about inappropriate workplace behavior.目前尚不清楚吉尔福伊尔接下来会做什么。她曾在纽约担任美国有线电视新闻网和美国广播公司的法律分析师。2018年，她在福克斯新闻的职业生涯告终。当时，两名了解她离职内幕的人士以匿名为条件告诉《纽约时报》，她因涉嫌不当职场行为被迫离开。The New Yorker reported two years later that Ms. Guilfoyle had been forced out because of sexual harassment allegations brought by a female assistant, including that she had showed the assistant photographs of genitalia of men with whom Ms. Guilfoyle had had sexual relations.《纽约客》两年后报道说，吉尔福伊尔因一名女助理提出性骚扰指控而被迫离职，其中包括她向该助理展示与她发生过性关系的男性的生殖器照片。The magazine reported that the assistant had received a settlement of more than $4 million. Ms. Guilfoyle denied the allegations through her lawyer at the time, and declined to comment in the Times interview last year.该杂志报道说，这名助理获得了超过400万美元的和解金。吉尔福伊尔当时通过律师否认了这些指控，去年接受《纽约时报》采访时拒绝就此置评。She was immensely proud of her ambassadorship. At the end of the interview, she pointed out a framed document near the entrance to her official residence, Jefferson House, that listed all the American ambassadors to Greece since 1948. Every one until Ms. Guilfoyle was a man.吉尔福伊尔对自己能够出任大使感到无比自豪。采访结束时，她指着大使官邸杰斐逊府入口附近的一份装裱起来的文件，上面列出了自1948年以来历任美国驻希腊大使的名字。在吉尔福伊尔之前，所有大使都是男性。“Here I am,” she said, pointing to her name. “I almost cried.”“看，我在这里，”她指着自己的名字说。“我当时差点哭出来。”黄安伟(Edward Wong)自雅典对本文有报道贡献。Elisabeth Bumiller报道美国首都的民众、政治和文化，以及华盛顿做出的决定如何影响全国乃至全世界民众的生活。翻译：杜然点击查看本文英文版。
