第一夫人梅拉尼娅：我染上新冠病毒的个人经历

两周前，与许多美国人以及全世界的人们一样，我收到了诊断新冠病毒（COVID-19）的检测结果：呈阳性。更糟糕的是，我的丈夫和我们国家的（三军）总司令也收到了同样的消息。

自然而然，我立即想到了我们的儿子。让我们感到大为欣慰的是，他的检测结果是阴性的，但是，正如过去几个月来许多父母所认为的那样，我不禁想到 "明天或第二天又会如何呢？"。我的担心成真了，当他再次接受测试时，结果是阳性。 幸运的是，他是一位坚强的少年，没有任何症状。从某种程度上来说，我很高兴我们三个人同时经历了这一过程。这样我们就可以互相照顾，共度时光。此后，他的检测结果为阴性。

我是非常幸运的，因为我被诊断出的症状极小，尽管它们一下子击中了我，而且在之后的日子里，似乎有过山车般的症状。我经历了身体酸痛、咳嗽和头痛，大多数时候感到非常疲倦。在用药方面，我选择了自然疗法，更多的选择了维生素和健康食品。我们身边有很好的护理人员，我们将永远感谢康利（Conley）医生和他的团队为我们提供的医疗保健和专业的诊疗服务。对我来说，这是一种陌生的感觉，我是病人，而不是一个试图鼓励我们的国家保持健康和安全的人。现在是我被照顾，并获得了一位新冠病毒患者经历的第一手经验。作为患者以及受益于如此众多医疗支持的人，我发现自己对各地的护理人员和急救人员更加感激和敬畏。对于一直以来照顾我们一家的医务人员和住所员工，感谢你们是说不完的。

从疾病中恢复会给你很多时间进行反思。当我的丈夫被带到沃尔特·里德（Walter Reed）作为预防措施时，我花了很多时间来反思我的家庭。我还想到了我国各地成千上万的人受到这种病毒的影响，这种病毒毫无歧视地感染着人们。我们正处在一个前所未有的时代，随着总统大选的快速临近，我们很容易陷入如此多的负面能量之中。

这也让我想起，在我们国家和世界上遇到的人们，如果你去寻求帮助时，就会发现许多良善和同情心，这让我感到高兴。我们的国家已经克服了许多艰辛和逆境，我希望将来告诉我们的后代，我们曾经战胜了新冠病毒并从中吸取教训。

我鼓励大家继续过自己最健康的生活。均衡的饮食、新鲜的空气和维生素对保持我们的身体健康确实至关重要。为了你充溢的幸福，同情心和谦逊对保持我们的心灵强大同样重要。对我个人而言，康复过程中影响最大的部分是有机会反思很多事情，包括家庭、友谊、工作，以及忠于自己的本份。

我很高兴地报告，我已被测试为阴性结果，希望能尽快恢复工作。除了这个好消息，我想让大家知道，我的家人得到所提供的这种照顾是多么幸运。如果你生病了，或者你有亲人生病了，我会每天牵挂你。我为我们的国家祈祷，也为每一位正在与新冠病毒和任何其他疾病挑战作斗争的人祷告。

感谢所有伸出援助之手，并为我们的家人致以良好的祝福和祈祷，你也在我们的祷告中。

英文全文：First Lady Melania Trump: “My personal experience with COVID-19.”

Melania Trump October 14, 2020

It was two weeks ago when I received the diagnosis that so many Americans across our country and the world had already received—I tested positive for COVID-19. To make matters worse, my husband, and our nation’s Commander-in-Chief, received the same news.

Naturally my mind went immediately to our son. To our great relief he tested negative, but again, as so many parents have thought over the past several months, I couldn’t help but think “what about tomorrow or the next day?”. My fear came true when he was tested again and it came up positive. Luckily he is a strong teenager and exhibited no symptoms. In one way I was glad the three of us went through this at the same time so we could take care of one another and spend time together. He has since tested negative.

I was very fortunate as my diagnosis came with minimal symptoms, though they hit me all at once and it seemed to be a roller coaster of symptoms in the days after. I experienced body aches, a cough and headaches, and felt extremely tired most of the time. I chose to go a more natural route in terms of medicine, opting more for vitamins and healthy food. We had wonderful caretakers around us and we will be forever grateful for the medical care and professional discretion we received from Dr. Conley and his team. It was an unfamiliar feeling for me to be the patient instead of a person trying to encourage our nation to stay healthy and safe. It was me being taken care of now, and getting first-hand experience with all that COVID-19 can do. As the patient, and the person benefitting from so much medical support, I found myself even more grateful and in awe of caretakers and first responders everywhere. To the medical staff and the residence staff who have been taking care of our family—thank you doesn’t say enough.

Recovering from an illness gives you a lot of time to reflect. When my husband was taken to Walter Reed as a precaution, I spent much of my time reflecting on my family. I also thought about the hundreds of thousands of people across our country who have been impacted by this illness that infects people with no discrimination. We are in unprecedented times—and with the election fast approaching, it has been easy to get caught up in so much negative energy.

It also cheered me to think of all the people I have met across our country and the world—and the goodness and compassion that exists if you seek it out. Our country has overcome many hardships and much adversity, and it is my hope COVID-19 will be another obstacle we will be able to tell future generations we overcame — and learned from in the process.

I encourage everyone to continue to live the healthiest life they can. A balanced diet, fresh air, and vitamins really are vital to keep our bodies healthy. For your complete well-being, compassion and humility are just as important in keeping our minds strong. For me personally, the most impactful part of my recovery was the opportunity to reflect on many things—family, friendships, my work, and staying true to who you are.

I am happy to report that I have tested negative and hope to resume my duties as soon as I can. Along with this good news, I want people to know that I understand just how fortunate my family is to have received the kind of care that we did. If you are sick, or if you have a loved one who is sick—I am thinking of you and will be thinking of you every day. I pray for our country and I pray for everyone who is grappling with COVID-19 and any other illnesses or challenges.

Thank you to everyone who reached out, and offered well wishes and prayers for our family. You remain in ours as well.

您的支持与爱心使我继续写下去，感恩您的打赏！
