希拉里·克林頓稱最近一週只想窩在家裏

Former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said all she wanted to do for most of the past week was "curl up with a good book with a dog and never leave the house again."

Clinton made her first public appearance Wednesday night in Washington after conceding the presidential election to Republican Donald Trump a week ago.

She appeared at the Children's Defense Fund's Beat the Odds program, which honored five young people who overcame tragedy to become excellent students and are on their way to outstanding professional careers.

Clinton admitted that coming to the event "wasn't the easiest thing for me." But she said the five young men and women the fund was saluting never gave up after facing violence, poverty and abandonment.前民主黨總統候選人希拉里·克林頓說，過去的一個星期裏，大部分時間她都“只想窩在家裏，身邊守着狗，讀着一本好書，再也不要出門”。

自一個多星期前克林頓在大選中輸給共和黨候選人川普並發表敗選講話以來，希拉里·克林頓星期三晚上首次在華盛頓的一次活動上公開露面發表講話。

這次活動由兒童保護基金的戰勝逆境項目舉辦，表彰五位克服不幸，學業優秀，前途光明的年輕人。

希拉里·克林頓承認，來參加這次活動對她來說不是一件容易的事。但是她說，兒童基金會表彰的這五位年輕人面對暴力，貧窮和遺棄，也從未選擇過放棄。
