【路透社 20150317】普京再次公开露面 对“八卦”一笑置之
Russian President Vladimir Putin reappeared on Monday after 10 unexplained days out of public view, laughing off the "gossip" over his health that had erupted during his absence.俄罗斯总统普京从公众视线消失10天后，周一再次露面，对外界有关他健康的传言一笑置之。The 62-year-old leader met the president of Kyrgyzstan at a lavish Tsarist-era palace outside St Petersburg in his first appearance since Feb. 5. His absence had fueled rumors he was ill, had been overthrown by the army or had even flown abroad to attend the birth of a love child.普京在圣彼得堡市郊的康斯坦丁宫与吉尔吉斯斯坦总统阿坦巴耶夫会晤，这是他自3月5日以来首次在公开场合露面。普京之前“消失”引发外界各种揣测，有传言说他生病了，有说法称其被军队推翻，也有说法称其飞往国外陪情人产子。
"It would be boring without gossip," Putin said, smiling easily before television cameras. He looked relaxed, if pale.“要是没有八卦，就太无聊了。”普京在电视镜头前微笑着说。他看起来神情放松，面色似乎略微苍白。
His spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, mocked the press for its interest, referring sarcastically to the various rumors: "So you've seen the broken, paralyzed president, who has been captured by generals? He's only just flown in from Switzerland, where he attended a birth as you know."普京发言人佩斯科夫（Dmitry Peskov）则对媒体大加嘲讽：“所以你们现在看到总统被将军们抓起来了，不能动弹？或者如你们所知，他只不过刚从瑞士飞回来，在那陪完产子而已。”

Putin's return to public view coincided with Russia's biggest military exercises since ties with the West sank to a post-Cold War low over the Ukraine crisis.俄罗斯当前正举行自乌克兰危机导致俄罗斯与西方关系降至冰点以来的最大规模军事演习。
