美国国务卿马尔科·鲁比奥周二晚间出席了美国驻印度大使馆在孟买Jio世界会议中心举办的活动，庆祝美国独立250周年。在不到五个月的时间里，这是鲁比奥第二次在印度出席独立日庆祝活动。他上次访问是在今年5月，当时是为了进行双边会谈。由美国特使塞尔吉奥·戈尔领导的美国驻印度大使馆当时在新德里举办了一场活动，同样是为了庆祝美国独立250周年。
The U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio attended an event organized by the US Embassy in India at the Jio World Convention Center in Mumbai on Tuesday night, celebrating the 250th anniversary of American independence. It was the second time Rubio attended an Independence Day event in India in less than five months. He last visited in May this year for bilateral talks. The US Embassy in India, headed by US Envoy Sergio Gor, had organized an event in New Delhi then, also celebrating the 250th anniversary of US independence. The coincidence was not lost on the Florida Republican as he spoke at the Mumbai event Tuesday.
这一巧合并未被这位佛罗里达州共和党人忽视，他在周二孟买的活动上发言时开玩笑说，他“开始觉得我们大使馆在这里干的全是办派对的事”。
Rubio joked he is "starting to think all our embassy does here is throw parties." "It's a great honor to be back with all of you here today," Rubio said, as he started his speech.
“能再次回到这里与大家相聚，是一大荣幸，”鲁比奥开始演讲时说道。“我说‘再次’，是因为我就在三四个月前来过。这很有意思。三四个月前我来的时候，塞尔吉奥在德里办了一场盛大的‘250周年’派对。现在我们又来了，在孟买办另一场‘250周年’派对。我开始觉得我们大使馆在这里干的全是办派对的事。”
"And I say be back because I was just here three or four months ago. And it's interesting." When I was here three or four months ago, Sergio threw a big 250 party in Delhi. And now we're here, another 250 party in Mumbai. And I'm starting to think all our embassy does here is throw parties."
“但我们要看看明年他们又能想出什么花样，”他接着说。“你不能用同样的方式庆祝251周年。那味道就不对了。”
But we'll see what they come up with next year," he continued. "You can't celebrate 251 the same way. It's just not the same ring to it."
前康奈尔大学兄弟会主席奥拉齐奥·佩蒂托被从“简·多伊”强奸诉讼中“带偏见地”移除；这意味着什么鲁比奥对国会代表团说：“别回华盛顿告诉他们我们这儿光顾着办派对”一群来自美国的两党国会代表随马尔科·鲁比奥出访，并出席了他此次10月访印期间的相关活动。他们分别是密苏里州众议员杰森·史密斯、加利福尼亚州众议员大卫·施韦克特、纽约州众议员埃莉斯·斯特凡尼克、田纳西州众议员安迪·奥格尔斯以及佛罗里达州众议员劳拉·弗里德曼。鲁比奥在演讲中专门留出一段，向到场的国会代表团致意。
Orazio Petito, former Cornell fraternity president, removed from Jane Doe rape lawsuit ‘with prejudice’; Here's what does it meanRubio Tells Congressional Delegates: "Don't Go And Tell Washington All We Do Is Throw Parties ''A group of bipartisan Congressional delegates from the US traveled with Marco Rubio and attended the events surrounding his October India visit. They were Missouri House Rep. Jason Smith, California's Rep. David Schweikert, Rep. Elise Stefanik of New York, Tennessee's Rep. Andy Ogles and Rep. Laura Friedman of Florida. Rubio reserved a section in his speech where he addresses the Congressional delegates in attendance. He specifically asked them not to "go back and say (in the US) that all we do is throw parties."
他专门嘱咐他们不要“回去后（在美国）说我们只会搞派对”。

“我看到我们来自华盛顿、来自国会的同事们在这里，”鲁比奥说。“他们了解正在讨论的这些议题。我也非常感激他们有一个非常强有力的国会代表团在此，这是一个两党组成的国会代表团。我很高兴他们来了，因为是他们通过资助所有机构的预算。所以不要回去后说我们只会搞派对。”
And I'm also very grateful they have a very strong congressional delegation here, a bipartisan congressional delegation. I'm glad they're here because they pass the budgets that fund all the agencies. So don't go back and say that all we do is throw parties."
事实上，鲁比奥在结束演讲时仍坚持这个派对玩笑。他开玩笑说起在美国250周年庆典在印度举办的频率：“虽然今天我们在这里庆祝美国250岁生日，这是在印度举办的第18次。我开玩笑的，他们只办了12次。”
In fact, Rubio stuck to the party joke even as he ended his speech. Joking about the frequency of the America 250 parties in India, Rubio said: "While today we celebrate here the 250th birthday of the United States for the 18th time here in India. I'm kidding, they've only done it 12 times."
