美國副主席JD Vance昨天（5月18日）會見了教皇獅子座

在會議期間，萬斯以相當晦澀的欣賞代幣授予新成立的教皇。

The vice-president of the United States, JD Vance, met with Pope Leo XIV yesterday (18 May), during which he bestowed the newly-implemented pontiff with a rather obscure token of appreciation.

美國副主席JD Vance昨天（5月18日）會見了獅子座XIV，在此期間，他以相當晦澀的欣賞代幣授予了新成立的Pontiff。

Joined in the Vatican by wife Usha, as well as Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy and several other political leaders, 40-year-old Vance was seen in official photographs shaking the hands of the former cardinal Robert Prevost.

妻子Usha以及烏克蘭總統沃羅迪米爾·澤倫斯基（Volodymyr Zelenskyy）和其他幾位政治領導人加入了梵蒂岡，在正式照片中看到了40歲的萬斯，搖晃著前樞機主教羅伯特·普雷福斯特（Robert Robert Prevost）。

The group also witnessed the 69-year-old religious icon deliver his inaugural mass in St Peter's Square - an event overlooked by thousands of other attendees who lined the streets of both the Vatican and Rome over the weekend.

該組織還目睹了這位69歲的宗教偶像在聖彼得廣場（St Peter's Square）舉行了他的就職彌撒，這一活動被數千名與會者所忽視的活動，他們在周末在梵蒂岡和羅馬的街道上排隊。

Prevost was elected the new Head of the Catholic Church earlier this month following the death of Pope Francis on Easter Sunday (21 April), after which he announced his official title, Pope Leo.

普雷福斯特（Prevost）在復活節星期日（4月21日）的教皇弗朗西斯（Francis）去世後，於本月初當選了天主教會的新主管，此後他宣布了他的正式冠軍教皇獅子座。

He also boasts the honour of being the first ever American to attain the position, having been born in Chicago, Illinois - a privilege that didn't go unnoticed by Republican president Donald Trump at the time.

他還擁有成為有史以來第一個獲得該職位的美國人的榮譽，該職位曾在伊利諾伊州的芝加哥出生 - 當時共和黨總統唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）並沒有註意到這種特權。

"Congratulations to Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, who was just named Pope. It is such an honor to realize that he is the first American Pope. What excitement, and what a Great Honor for our Country."

“恭喜樞機主教羅伯特·弗朗西斯·普雷斯特斯（Robert Francis Prevost），他剛剛被任命為​​教皇。意識到他是美國第一位教皇，這是一種榮幸。什麼是興奮，對我們國家的榮幸是什麼。”

The father-of-five wasn't present for the 'cordial' talks that the Catholic Church's moderate new pope held over the weekend, having taken part in talks in the Middle East instead.

五歲的父親沒有參加“親切”的談判，即天主教會在周末舉行的天主教中心的新教皇，而是參加了中東的會談。

However, his VP attended where the politician was seen to be handing Pope Ben a pretty controversial gift.

但是，他的副總裁參加了這位政治家，他們被認為是遞給本教皇本的禮物。

The religious icon appeared in photos to be somewhat surprised after Vance presented him with a Chicago Bears American Football jersey, being that he is famously a fan of baseball, and has shown no support of NFL before.

宗教偶像出現在照片中，在萬斯（Vance）向他展示了芝加哥熊隊美式足球球衣後，他是棒球的粉絲，並且以前沒有對NFL表示支持。

The mishap didn't go unnoticed by many eagle-eyed onlookers, however, many of whom pointed out that a Chicago White Sox - another team from the Windy City - baseball jersey would have been more appropriate.

不幸的是，許多鷹眼旁觀者並沒有註意到，但許多人指出，芝加哥白襪隊（來自風城的另一支球隊）是棒球澤西島的一支球衣。

After one pointed out it was an NFL kit, one social media wrote: "Lol ik he's lifelong baseball fan, the fact that they brought that with no prove of him supporting that team is kind of funny.."

一個社交媒體指出這是一個NFL套件後，一位社交媒體寫道：“大聲笑，他是終生的棒球迷，他們帶來了這一事實，沒有證明他支持那個團隊很有趣。”

Another awkwardly added: "He likes the White Sox,..."

另一個尷尬地補充說：“他喜歡白襪隊，……”

Despite receiving a jersey from a different sport, the pope looked thrilled when Vance turned it over to see it had both 'Pope Leo' and the number 'XIV' (14th) on the back.

儘管從另一項運動中獲得了一件球衣，但當萬斯將其翻了過去，看到它的“教皇獅子座”和“ xiv”（第14位）時，教皇看起來很興奮。

It is somewhat expected, however, that Pope Ben will butt heads with both Trump and Vance in the coming years, having spoken out against their right-wing political beliefs for some time.

但是，人們有些期望，教皇本將在未來幾年與特朗普和萬斯都陷入困境，並在一段時間內反對他們的右翼政治信仰。

Following his election earlier this month, the religious leader was asked by press if he has 'any message for the United States' - a question to which he simply replied: "Many."

在本月初當選之後，新聞界詢問了宗教領袖，他是否有“對美國的任何信息” - 他簡單地回答了一個問題：“許多人”。

Several years earlier, whilst working as a cardinal, the pope highlighted via social media that his politics certainly don't align Trump's beliefs by re-posted an article titled 'JD Vance is wrong: Jesus doesn't ask us to rank our love for others.'

幾年前，教皇在擔任紅衣主教的同時，通過社交媒體強調，他的政治當然不會通過重新發表一篇名為“ JD Vance是錯誤的文章”來使特朗普的信仰保持一致：耶穌不要求我們對我們對他人的愛進行排名。

Another comment from around the same time retweeted by Pope Ben asked 'Do you not see the suffering? Is your conscience not disturbed?' in response to Trump's meeting with El Salvador President Nayib Bukele, during which the politician spoke of deporting US citizens abroad.

教皇本轉發了同一時間的另一條評論問：“您沒有看到痛苦嗎？你的良心沒有受到打擾嗎？為了回應特朗普與薩爾瓦多總統納伊布·布克爾（Nayib Bukele）的會面，在此期間，政客們​​談到將美國公民驅逐出國。

A third instance in 2018 saw the pope retweeting a message originally posted online by Cardinal Blase J. Cupich, which read: "There is nothing remotely Christian, American, or morally defensible about a policy that takes children away from their parents and warehouses them in cages. This is being carried out in our name and the shame is on us all."

2018年的第三個實例看到，教皇轉發了一條最初由Cardinal Blase J. Cupich在線發布的消息，該消息寫道：“沒有什麼是基督教，美國人或道德上的遙不可及的政策，該政策將孩子帶離父母並在籠子裡倉庫中倉庫。
