国防部发言人称，在周三有笑声从随同国防部长参观墓地的团体中传出后，哨兵“提醒所有人保持礼仪”。
Soldier Shouts at Hegseth’s Group to Show ‘Respect’ at Tomb of the Unknowns A Pentagon spokesman said the sentinel had “reminded everyone to maintain decorum” after laughter was heard from a group visiting the burial site with the Defense Secretary on Wednesday.
国防部长皮特·赫格塞斯周三在无名烈士墓前被一名陆军哨兵训斥，此前随行团体中爆发了笑声。
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was scolded on Wednesday at the Tomb of the Unknowns by an Army sentinel after laughter broke out among a group that accompanied him.
赫格塞斯先生、他的妻子及部分顾问当时正在无名烈士墓前——也称无名士兵墓——合影留念并交谈。这是位于阿灵顿国家公墓的一座庄严纪念碑，纪念那些在战斗中阵亡且身份不明的军人。
Mr. Hegseth, his wife and some advisers had been posing for pictures and chatting in front of the tomb, also called the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, a solemn memorial at Arlington National Cemetery for military members who were killed in battle and remain unidentified.
记者拍摄的视频显示，在听到随行人员中一名女子发出清晰的笑声后不久，守卫墓地的哨兵转身面向赫格塞斯一行。
Video recorded by reporters showed the sentinel guarding the tomb turning to face Mr. Hegseth’s group shortly after audible laughter from a woman among them.
“所有参观者必须始终保持肃静和尊重的氛围，”哨兵在赫格塞斯等人准备离开时向他们大声喊道。
“All visitors will maintain an atmosphere of silence and respect at all times,” the sentinel shouted toward Mr. Hegseth and others as they were leaving.
公墓的仪式规定禁止参观者大声喧哗或发出任何其他“吵闹”或“不合理的大声”噪音。
The rules for ceremonies at the cemetery prohibit visitors from yelling or making any other “boisterous” or “unreasonably loud” noise.
当天，这位国防部长一直在公墓出席年度退伍军人节献花圈仪式，特朗普总统也一同出席。
The defense secretary had been attending the annual Veterans Day wreath-laying ceremony at the cemetery alongside President Trump.
五角大楼首席发言人肖恩·帕内尔在一份声明中表示，哨兵的反应是恰当的。
Sean Parnell, the Pentagon’s chief spokesman, said in a statement that the sentinels’ reaction was appropriate.
帕内尔说：“部长和整个部门始终铭记——并将永远铭记——我们的军人为维护美国安全所做出的牺牲。在纪念这个庄严的日子时，一名士兵正确且恭敬地提醒所有人保持礼仪。”
“The Secretary and the entire Department have always honored — and will always honor — the sacrifices our military men and women have made to keep America safe,” Mr. Parnell said. “While commemorating this solemn day, a soldier correctly and respectfully reminded everyone to maintain decorum.”
守卫墓地是精锐部队——第3美国步兵团——梦寐以求的职位，该部队在那里昼夜站岗执勤。连续守卫墓地的传统已延续近九十年。该团也被称为“老卫队”，有关问题被转交给帕内尔处理。
Guarding the tomb is a coveted position for an elite military unit, the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment, that stands watch there 24 hours a day. The tradition of standing continuously over the tomb dates back nearly nine decades. The regiment, also known as “The Old Guard,” directed questions to Mr. Parnell.
周三，赫格塞斯身边有他的妻子珍妮弗·赫格塞斯，以及三名顾问里基·布里亚、塔米·拉达鲍和帕特里克·韦弗。这并非特朗普及其工作人员在阿灵顿国家公墓首次涉及礼仪争议。
With Mr. Hegseth on Wednesday were his wife, Jennifer Hegseth, and three advisers, Ricky Buria, Tami Radabaugh and Patrick Weaver. It is not the first controversy related to decorum involving the president and his staff at the cemetery.
2024年，特朗普竞选团队与公墓一名官员发生冲突，起因是竞选团队在专门安葬近期战争中阵亡美军的区域拍摄照片和视频。公墓当时发表声明称，联邦法律禁止在陆军公墓内进行政治竞选及相关活动。
In 2024 a confrontation occurred between Mr. Trump’s campaign team and a cemetery official for taking photos and videos in a section of the burial reserved for American troops killed in recent wars. A statement from the cemetery at the time said that federal law prohibits political campaigning and related activities within Army cemeteries.
特朗普曾出席一场献花圈仪式，悼念在美国从阿富汗撤军期间自杀式袭击中丧生的13名美军。特朗普在仪式上的画面后来出现在其竞选团队发布的一段TikTok视频中。
Mr. Trump had attended a wreath-laying ceremony for 13 American troops killed in a suicide bombing during the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. Footage of Mr. Trump at the ceremony later appeared in a TikTok video released by his campaign.
2017年，特朗普首个任期内曾探访退役海军陆战队上将约翰·F·凯利之子的军人墓地，并说：“我不明白。这对他们有什么好处？”赫格塞斯是一名退伍老兵，曾在陆军国民警卫队服役。这位国防部长周二在国会面临弹劾动议，但最终被众议院共和党人搁置。自上周中期选举结果出炉以来，赫格塞斯面临的压力与日俱增，选举结果部分源于民众对伊朗战争的深深挫败感。但赫格塞斯仍继续获得特朗普的支持。
And in 2017 during his first term, Mr. Trump visited the military grave of the son of John F. Kelly, a retired Marine general, and said, “I don’t get it. What was in it for them?”Mr. Hegseth is a combat veteran who served in the Army National Guard. The defense secretary faced an impeachment bid in Congress on Tuesday that was ultimately shelved by House Republicans. Pressure has mounted on the defense secretary since last week’s midterm electoral outcome, which was driven in part by deep frustrations with the Iran war. But Mr. Hegseth has continued to enjoy the support of Mr. Trump.
周三仪式结束后不久，赫格塞斯在社交媒体发布了一张他在仪式现场与妻子的合影。
Shortly after the ceremony on Wednesday, Mr. Hegseth posted on social media a picture at the site of the ceremony with his wife.
他写道：“退伍军人节快乐——献给我们最优秀的美国人，”并补充道，“感谢上帝保佑我们的战士，无论过去还是现在。”埃里克·施密特参与了报道。
“Happy Veterans Day — to our best Americans,” he wrote, adding, “Thank God for our warriors, past and present.”Eric Schmitt contributed reporting.
