纽约市长候选人安东尼•韦纳承认“艳照门”

New York mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner has admitted sending explicit messages to a woman, two years after he left Congress over a similar affair

An unnamed woman told website The Dirty she had an online relationship with the 48-year-old last year

Mr Weiner, who has been leading polls of Democratic mayoral candidates, said he was "very sorry"

In 2011, he said his Twitter account was hacked, but then admitted sending lewd photos to young women

Flanked by his wife, Huma Abedin, at a press conference on Tuesday in New York, he apologised while reading from a prepared statement

He also said he would not drop out of the city's mayoral race, which will be decided by voters in November Three of his rivals immediately called on him to stand aside

'Horrible mistakes'

Mr Weiner told reporters: "This behaviour is behind me I've apologised to my wife, Huma, and I'm grateful that she has worked through these issues with me and that I've had her forgiveness

"I want to again say how very sorry I am to anyone who was on the receiving end of these messages and the disruption that this has caused"

He said some of the latest reports were inaccurate, but refused to go into detail

Ms Abedin then took to the podium and said: "Our marriage, like many others, has had its ups and its downs It took a lot of work and a whole lot of therapy to get to a place where I could forgive Anthony"

She continued: "Anthony's made some horrible mistakes, both before he resigned from Congress and after But I do very strongly believe that it's between us and our marriage"

"I love him, I have forgiven him, I believe in him," she added

'Carlos Danger'

Briefly taking questions after the statements, Mr Weiner admitted that some of the online activity in question had taken place as late as summer last year

The woman at the centre of the latest allegations has said they began exchanging messages in July 2012 and continued for six months

She said she was 22 years old when they made contact on the social working website Formspring

The woman claimed Mr Weiner had used the alias "Carlos Danger" for their racy exchanges

"I was young and dumb," The Dirty quoted her as saying

"I just want people to really know he's lying when he acts like he has changed"

Mr Weiner has previously said he should not have denied posting lewd photos on Twitter in 2011

He said he only did so because he wanted to keep the truth from his then-pregnant wife, who is a former adviser to Hillary Clinton

She gave birth to the couple's son, Jordan, later that year

Mr Weiner will find out how damaging his latest conduct has been in September's primary elections, when Democratic voters decide if he or one of his rivals should represent their party in the mayoral race

He is not the only disgraced politician aiming for a eback

Two weeks ago, former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer - who resigned in 2008 after admitting to paying for sex with prostitutes - announced his candidacy for city ptroller

据BBC今天凌晨的消息，两年前由于“猥亵照”事件离开美国国会的前议员安东尼·韦纳，作为下届纽约市长的热门人选，近日又爆出了“艳照门”，他承认曾在社交网站上发送露骨信息给一名年轻女子。

在妻子胡玛·阿贝丁的陪伴下，安东尼·韦纳于本周二在纽约举行了新闻发布会，宣读了事先准备好的讲稿，并就自己的所作所为致歉。

“我现在早已痛改前非。我已经向我的妻子胡玛道过歉了，非常感激她始终不离不弃地陪伴着我经历这一切，并且原谅了我。对于那些看到我照片的人，很抱歉打扰了你们的生活，我再次向你们道歉。”安东尼在发布会上说。

据指控安东尼的女子称，她和安东尼于2012年7月起开始在社交网站Formspring上互发信息，当时她22岁。安东尼将他们间的猥亵对话称作“卡洛斯危险”，这种关系一直持续了半年。

“我只是想告诉大家，他虽然表现得好像已经洗心革面了，但其实只是在欺骗大众。”这名女性告诉The Dirty网站的记者。

2011年，安东尼曾爆出在推特上发布猥亵照片的丑闻，但当时他称自己账号被盗，后来又承认确有此事，并声明此前之所以否认是因为不希望 当时有孕在身的妻子。

在今年九月即将进行的纽约市长初选中，安东尼将深刻意识到这次“艳照门”所带来的恶劣影响。届时，民主党选民将决定他或者其竞争对手是否能够代表他们的政党参与市长竞选。

有本市人担任市长的先例。

根据《中华人民共和国公务员法》规定，公务员实行国家统一的职务与级别相结合的工资制度。

市长的级别与公务员职务级别相对应，例如：国家级直辖市市长为省部级正职，地级市市长为厅局级正职，县级市市长为乡科级正职。

因此，如果某位市长是某市本地人，且其级别为厅局级正职，那么就可以说某市本地人担任过市长。

需要注意的是，这并不是一个常见的现象，因为市长通常是由该市的政治领袖或政治团体推举产生的，而不是由本地人担任。

在这种全球化的发展的情况之下，不仅国家之间的交流越来越频繁，就连国民们之间的联系也增多不少。

再加上这些年旅游业的发展之下，导致各国人们之间的关系逐渐升温，不少国人在外旅游的时候，还会认识一些外国朋友。

当然，也有不少人来到国外发展，他们在外国定居上班、学习等，这样的情况十分常见，不仅如此，一些跨国婚姻也出现在人们的视野当中。

来自河北高中毕业的一位名为“胡文兵”的小伙，他在读完书之后无所事事，一直在家务农。

可是在当年胡文兵所待在的小县城里，突然挂起了一阵去日本发展的热潮，对于这一机会，胡文兵紧紧的抓住，并与几个朋友来到日本一个叫做名古屋市的地方。

刚来到日本的时候，由于语言不互通，这对他们而言是个巨大的困难，只好选择一些苦力活工作，随后胡文兵能与日本人交流，在空闲的时候学习日语适应环境。

在几年的发展滞后，却在训练班里邂逅了一位叫做杉木佳奈子的日本女孩。

当胡文兵与日本女孩的接触之后，慢慢发现了对方是个温柔体贴的人，而胡文兵也对这个女孩子有所想法。

虽然胡文兵是个外来务工的人，但是在不断的追求之下，胡文兵并没有放弃，最终追到了这位女主。

其实杉山佳奈子接触胡文兵后，却发现他的勤劳能干，两人的关系迅速升温，然而在后期的交往之下，却发现对方却是市长的女儿。

中国人喜欢讲究“门当户对”，胡文兵生活在一个不怎么富裕的家庭里，可是杉山佳奈子虽说家庭不算太富裕。

可是面对这样的情况，胡文兵却感到焦虑，毕竟没钱没学历，想要娶一个市长的女儿，简直就是癞蛤蟆吃天鹅肉。

可最终两人在爱情长跑之下，最终走入婚姻殿堂，这一事情在县城里传得沸沸扬扬。

时过境迁，当初嫁给胡文兵的日本女孩如今怎样了？

根据了解，在结婚之后两人在河北买了套房子，而胡文兵也将事业投入房地产行业当中，经过数年的拼搏，胡文兵最终在当地获得一席之地。

而杉山佳奈子在日常生活中也没闲着，不仅融入了中国的生活，还在当地当了日语教师。

另外抚养了一男一女，在他们的教育之下，一家人的生活有滋有味，每逢节假日的时候，也会回到日本看望一下当初的市长。

事情也就到这里结束了，你们如何看待这个跨国婚姻呢？
