Reporter: Did you ask Melania sort of, for permission, in a way, to run for president? Did you get her approval?

Donald: Well, I actually sat down with Melania and my whole family and we talked about it. Don, Ivanka, Eric, Tiffany. Barron to a lesser5)extent, but Barron too. And so we all had a dinner and I said, “I would like to do this. I think I can do a great job.” And I wanted to get, number one, a6)consensus，and number two, ideally, their permission. And they all agreed.

Reporter: Your son Barron, what is he, 10?

Melania: 10.

Reporter: 10. He was on camera the whole time you were giving your acceptance speech. Does he get it? Does he know?

动词词组come on有多种含义，在单独用作口语祈使句时，意思与书面表达不同，它有一种提醒的作用，表催促、激励、鼓励、注意等意，例如：

l Come on. We’ll be late.（快点，我们要迟到了。）

l Come on. You can’t keep asking Dad for money.（好了，你不能老是向爸要钱。）

l Let’s do it. Come on. We can make it.（我们一起做这事吧，来吧，我们能行的。）

记者：您即将成为第一夫人。您是不是对此有点忐忑不安？有点紧张？有点……

梅拉尼娅·特朗普：嗯，我会肩负许多责任，有……有许多工作等着我们去做。我们会日复一日地把事情做好。我会忠于自己的内心。我非常强大，很坚强，也很自信，我将听从自己内心的声音，做自己认为正确的事，遵从自己的感觉。

记者：您如何看待您丈夫的推文呢？

梅拉尼娅：呃，他的推文有时会给他惹麻烦，但也能帮很大的忙，他的粉丝数量之多让人难以置信。

记者：所以您从来没有向他说“消停一下”？

梅拉尼娅：我说过。

唐纳德·特朗普：她说过的。

梅拉尼娅：我……当然，从竞选伊始，我就曾经多次向他提过这事。

记者：如果您觉得他做了什么出格的事，您会告诉他吗？

梅拉尼娅：会的，我一直都这么做。

记者：一直都有？

梅拉尼娅：一直都有。

记者：那么……

梅拉尼娅：而且……

记者：……他听您的话吗？他会……

梅拉尼娅：我认为他明白我的话，但他最终还是会按自己的想法行事。毕竟他是成年人，知道这么做的后果。我把自己的看法告诉他，怎么做是他的事。

记者：在竞选总统这件事上，在某种程度上而言，您曾请求梅拉尼娅的应允吗？她同意了吗？

唐纳德：呃，事实上，我跟她，还有我们全家都坐下来好好谈过，小唐、伊万卡、埃里克、蒂凡尼，甚至包括巴伦——尽管与他说得不多，但也聊过。我们在一起吃晚饭时，我说：“我想做这件事，我觉得我能当个好总统。”我这么做，首先是为了取得家庭内部的共识，其次，最理想的就是征得他们的同意。他们都同意了。

记者：您儿子巴伦多大了？有10岁了吗？

梅拉尼娅：10岁。

记者：才10岁。在您发表答谢辞时，他全程都出现在镜头前。他明白这是怎么回事吗？他懂吗？

梅拉尼娅：他懂。他明白……

记者：他真的懂？

梅拉尼娅：……他明白发生了什么，他非常以父亲为荣。

记者：谈谈你们在这届政府里的角色吧。你们当中有谁希望在父亲的政府里谋一份工作呢？

埃里克·特朗普：我们会……我们将会待在纽约，继续经营我们的生意。我想我们会乐在其中，也会让他感到非常骄傲。

记者：伊万卡，人们认为你会加入新一届政府。

伊万卡·特朗普：我……不会，我只会是总统的女儿。但是正如我……我在竞选过程中多次说过，我对有些议题非常热心，想要为此一战。比如说同工同酬、儿童保育等，这些对我而言很重要。我对教育事业充满热情，也一直致力于为给妇女争取更多机会。所以你知道，我对很多事情有很深的感触，有明确的态度，但不会正式担任公职来做这些事。

记者：那么请问你们当中有谁认为参加此次竞选对特朗普品牌产生了负面影响呢？

伊万卡：我认为这不重要，竞选比生意重要得多，是一件更严肃的事。所以，我……我……你知道，竞选才是重点。

唐纳德：我想伊万卡是想说：“谁在乎这些呢？谁在乎呢？”竞选是件天大的事，这是……这是为了我们的国家，而我们的国家正在走下坡路，我们要拯救我们的国家。我不在乎酒店的入住率，这与我们当前的事业相比微不足道。我们要改善医疗保健，让人们生活得更好。美国人目前所遭遇的一切实在太不公平了。
