Short on the sides and thinning on top, French President Francois Hollande's hair is kept perfectly groomed at a cost of almost 10,000 euros a month, the Canard Enchaine weekly reported Wednesday.
法國總統弗朗索瓦•奧朗德的髮型兩鬢較短、頭頂稀疏。本周三，法國《鴨鳴報》周刊爆料稱，奧朗德保持對頭髮的完美打理，每月花費近1萬歐元。
The leader's hair has never been the topic of scrutiny, unlike other high-profile male politicians such as US presidential candidate Donald Trump or former London mayor Boris Johnson.
與美國總統候選人唐納德•川普或前倫敦市長鮑裡斯•詹森等其他引人注目的男性政治家不同，奧朗德的頭髮從來不是人們密切關注的話題。
However the publication of the contract of his hairdresser, identified only as Olivier B., by the investigative newspaper had the French public bristling over such extravagant spending by a Socialist president.
然而，奧朗德「御用」理髮師的僱傭合同——只能辨認出理髮師的名字為奧利維耶B——被調查性報紙《鴨鳴報》公開後，法國公眾對這位社會黨總統的奢侈花費十分不滿。
"I can understand the questions, I can understand that there are judgements," said government spokesman Stephane Le Foll, who confirmed the hairdresser's steep salary of 9,895 euros ($10,900) a month.
政府發言人Stephane Le Foll說：「我能理解這些質疑，我知道人們會有評判。」他證實了理髮師每月9895歐元（10900美元）的高薪。
"Everyone has their hair done, don't they?" added Le Foll, his trademark thick grey mane flopping over his forehead.
Le Foll標誌性的濃密、灰白的頭髮撲在額頭上，他補充道：「每個人都要理髮不是嗎？」
- 'Coiffeurgate' -
—「理髮門」—
A lawmaker with the far-right National Front (FN) referred to Hollande as "his majesty" on Twitter, while other users superimposed afros, mullets and other hairstyles on pictures of the president, to "help his hairdresser earn his salary".
一名極右翼國民陣線（FN）議員在推特上稱奧朗德為「陛下」，而其他用戶則在總統的照片上疊加了黑人式爆炸頭、鯔魚頭等髮型，來「幫他的理髮師掙薪水」。
The hashtag #Coiffeurgate was trending on Twitter in France.
話題標籤#理髮門#成為法國推特上的熱門話題。
Some Twitter users also suggested other balding candidates for the presidency in 2017, such as Alain Juppe of the opposition Republicans, could save taxpayers money.
一些推特用戶還提出，共和黨的阿蘭•朱佩等其他禿頂的2017年總統候選人可以節省納稅人的錢。
An image of Hollande with a beanie photoshopped onto his head was captioned "budget cuts".
在奧朗德的一張照片中，頭部被PS了一頂無簷小便帽，標題為「削減預算」。
Hollande himself earns an annual wage of 179,000 euros a year or 14,900 euros a month.
奧朗德年薪17.9萬歐元，月薪1.49萬歐元。
The Canard Enchaine reported that in addition to his salary, the hairdresser was entitled to a "housing allowance" and other "family benefits".
《鴨鳴報》報導稱，除工資外，理髮師還享有「住房補貼」和其他「家庭補助」。
He has been employed since 2012 and travels with the president on most of his foreign trips.
該理髮師自2012年就已被聘用，並在總統奧朗德的大部分國事訪問中隨行。
The hairdresser's contract states that he must "maintain absolute secrecy about his work and any information he may have gathered both during and after his contract".
該理髮師的僱傭合同規定，他必須「在合同存續期間、結束以後都對工作及獲得的任何信息絕對保密」。
Hollande's former partner Valerie Trierweiler denied that the hairdresser had been brought in at her request, as two journalists claimed in a book published in April.
奧朗德的前女友瓦萊麗•特裡耶韋萊否認理髮師是應她的要求聘用的，並不像兩名記者在四月出版的一本書裡聲稱的那樣。
"Let's be fair: F. Hollande was not aware of the hairdresser's salary," she said.
她說：「公平地說，奧朗德不知道理髮師的工資多少。」
"I can attest to his anger when he learned it later," she added.
她補充道：「我可以證實後來他得知後很憤怒，」
Trierweiler, a journalist, published a bestselling tell-all memoir of her relationship and break-up with Hollande.
瓦萊麗是一名記者，她出版了一本暢銷的回憶錄，講述了她與奧朗德如何戀愛以及關係如何破裂。
Hollande, who was elected in 2012, has always portrayed himself as "Mr Normal", in stark contrast to his predecessor Nicolas Sarkozy whose flashy lifestyle saw him dubbed "President Bling Bling".
奧朗德於2012年當選，一直把自己描繪為「正常先生」，與前任總統尼古拉斯•薩科齊形成鮮明的對比，後者因其浮華的生活方式被稱為「金光閃閃總統」。
Hollande has said he will decide by the end of the year whether to stand for re-election next year. He has said his decision will depend on his success in cutting unemployment.
奧朗德表示，他將在今年年底決定明年是否競選連任。他說該決定將取決於他降低失業率的措施成功與否。
