Kensington Palace Shares Photo of Kate Middleton Amid Online Conspiracy Theories
肯辛顿宫分享了一张凯特·米德尔顿的照片，以应对网上的阴谋论。
Kensington Palace shared Kate Middleton‘s first official photograph after her January surgery on Sunday. The photo, featuring the princess alongside her three children, included a short message regarding British Mother’s Day.
周日，肯辛顿宫发布了凯特·米德尔顿在一月手术后的首张官方照片。这张照片中，王妃与她的三个孩子一同出现，还配有一段关于英国母亲节的简短信息。
“Thank you for your kind wishes and continued support over the last two months,” the statement reads.
声明写道：“在过去两个月里，感谢你们的祝福和持续支持。”
Catherine, Princess of Wales, underwent a planned abdominal surgery at The London Clinic on Jan. 16. While there was no public announcement ahead of her surgery, it was made known immediately afterward that the procedure was a success and that she would remain in the hospital to recover for 13 days.
英国凯特王妃于1月16日在伦敦诊所接受了计划性的腹部手术。尽管手术前没有公开声明，但在手术后立即宣布手术成功，并且她将在医院内恢复13天。
At the time, the palace also announced that the princess would, based on medical advice, be “unlikely to return to public duties until after Easter.”
当时，白金汉宫还宣布，王室根据医生的建议认为，王妃“不太可能在复活节前恢复公务”。
The statement and subsequent absence of the Princess sparked a deluge of conspiracy theories online, bolstered by the fact that at the time of the announcement, she had already not been seen in public since Christmas eve.
王室的声明及其后的销声匿迹在网上引发了大量阴谋论，因为就在宣布这一消息的时候，她已经自圣诞夜以来没有公开露面了。
The rumors included speculation that the surgery was not planned and that the princess’ health was in more danger than the palace had let on. These theories grew louder when Prince William pulled out of a memorial service due to a “personal matter” at the end of February. A statement released shortly after his cancellation reiterated that the palace would “only provide updates on Her Royal Highness’ progress when there is significant new information to share.”
传言包括手术并非计划中、王妃病情比王室所公开的更为严重等。2月底，威廉王子因“个人事务”退出一个追悼会时，这些揣测声浪升高。他取消活动后不久，王室发布声明重申，只有在有重大新进展时，才会更新王妃的情况。
The initial January announcement also requested that the public understand Catherine’s wish “that her personal medical information remains private.”
一月份的初步声明还请求公众尊重凯特王妃的意愿，“不要公开她的个人健康信息”。
Shortly after the Mother’s Day photo was released on Sunday, the picture was pulled by four major news agencies over fears the image was “manipulated.” The BBC reported that the four big photo agencies — Getty Images, Reuters, AFP and AP — ordered “photo kill” notices over the image over the manipulation concerns.
周日母亲节照片发布后不久，路透社、Getty Images、法新社（AFP）和美联社（AP）等四大新闻机构出于对图片“可能被操纵”的担忧，纷纷撤回了这张照片。英国广播公司（BBC）报道称，这四家图片机构都发出了“照片杀”（photo kill）通知，以处理这一问题。
On social media, people pointed to the sleeve of Princess Charlotte’s arm not lining up and the lack of focus on Prince George’s right hand, both suggesting photo manipulation. (Read that story here.)
在社交媒体上，有人指出夏洛特公主的衣袖似乎对不上焦，而乔治王子的右手也没有清晰呈现，这些都被指可能是照片经过了处理（点击这里阅读相关报道）。
