美駐澳使館手滑 羣發睡衣派對請柬

The US embassy in Canberra has apologized for a "training error" after distributing a fake meeting invitation, complete with a photo of a pajama-wearing cat.

近日，美國駐堪培拉大使館羣發了一份假的會議邀請，裏邊配有一張穿睡衣的貓咪照片，之後美使館就這次“訓練失誤”道歉。

The email, titled "meeting", featured a photo of a tabby cat wearing a blue Cookie Monster outfit and holding a plate of chocolate chip cookies, beneath the title "cat pajama-jam".

郵件的主題是“會議”，但裏邊的照片是一隻身穿藍色甜餅怪睡衣、抱着一盤巧克力碎曲奇的虎斑貓，配文“貓咪睡衣派對”。

The email also contained a section of Latin and recipients were given the option to hit an RSVP tab.

此外，該郵件中還包含了一些拉丁語文字以及可供接收人點擊的“回覆”圖標。

It is unknown how widely the email was distributed.

目前尚不清楚這份郵件的分發範圍有多廣。

US Mission to Australia public affairs counselor Gavin Sundwall kept his apology lighthearted.

美國駐澳大利亞使館公共事務參贊加文·森德沃爾調侃了這一事件。

"Sorry to disappoint those of you who were hoping to attend this 'cat pajama-jam' party, but such an event falls well outside our area of expertise," he wrote in a follow-up email.

他在跟進的電子郵件中寫道：“我們向那些希望參加'貓咪睡衣派對'的人致歉，只是這種活動真的不屬於我們的業務範圍。”

"It was a training error made by one of our new staff testing out our email newsletter platform." Sundwall said "strong new management controls" would be added to prevent a repeat of the mistake.

森德沃爾表示：“郵件是一位新員工在測試郵件通訊平臺時發生的訓練失誤，”防止類似錯誤再次發生，大使館將實施嚴格的新管理措施。
