美国大选结束四个月之后，沉寂已久的希拉里·克林顿正逐渐回到公众视野。

Following her loss in the 2016 election to President Trump, Hillary Clinton's gradual return to the spotlight continued with a speech on Friday night in Scranton, Pennsylvania.

《今日美国》报（USA Today）在推特上用了两个词来总结：She's back.

18日，希拉里出现在爱尔兰妇女协会组织的圣帕特里克节晚餐会上。

Clinton told a women's group on St. Patrick's Day that she's "ready to come out of the woods and to help shine a light...help draw strength that will enable everybody to keep going."

为了配合活动主题，希拉里身穿绿色外套出席，看起来气色不错。

St. Patrick's Day is an Irish festival celebrated annually on March 17, the death date of Saint Patrick, a patron saint of Ireland. It is a public holiday in Ireland and widely celebrated by Irish communities around the world.

活动当天，希拉里的致辞在现场引发了阵阵掌声和笑声。

虽然她说了不少话，但是各家媒体不约而同地都选择了这一句做标题：

Hillary Clinton says she's "Coming Out of the Woods"

Hillary Clinton says she's "ready to come out of the woods"

国内媒体也差不多，所以我们看到了这样的标题：

《希拉里欲重返政坛自称“我准备好走出树林了”》（北晚新视觉）

《这是要复出? 希拉里宣布准备“走出树林”》（新快报）

今天就来八一八“走出树林”吧~

一个习语

老规矩，先来查字典：

out of the woods

来自 dictionary.cambridge.org

来自 thefreedictionary.com

总结一下：out of the woods 翻译成中文就是“走出困境/脱离险境”。

一个“老梗”

对于希拉里个人来说，“走出树林”还是一个经典“梗”。

败选两天后，希拉里在自己家附近的树林里散步遛狗并偶遇其支持者。两人微笑合影的照片曾是社交媒体上的热门帖。

Hillary Clinton was spotted taking a walk in the woods with her dog and her husband Bill Clinton two days after the Election Day. Clinton supporter Margot Gerster shared a photo of the encounter on Facebook.

此后，这个“梗”就被大家玩坏了。因为希拉里决定出席特朗普的就职典礼，反对者嘲讽地说：“Stay hiking in the woods, old girl.”

希拉里本人也不止一次地用“树林梗”来自嘲。例如，在最近的这次演讲中，希拉里暗示自己对特朗普上任后的政策不满。

She said, "I'm like a lot of my friends right now; I have a hard time watching the news."

所以，怎么办呢？到森林里散步吧……

11天前，在纽约举行的另一场午餐会上，她也调侃地说：经历败选之后，她花了很长时间睡觉，在树林里散步……

Hillary Clinton gave a speech during the 2017 Girls Inc. New York luncheon celebrating women of achievement on March 7.

这一番自嘲“笑果”不错，现场听众发出了会心的笑声。

对于此次希拉里暗示自己要“重新出山”，网友们反响不一。

支持者鼓掌欢迎：“Help us Hillary” ；还有人说：“We are waiting!!!”

反对者则用“树林梗”各种造句：例如，“Please stay in the woods forever!” 还有“Out of the woods and into the retirement home.”

四个多月后，希拉里终于要“走出树林”了。她将去向何方，我们还不得而知，但看来这个“树林梗”还将一直玩下去。
