普京神祕女兒身份曝光
Vladimir Putin's 'secret' daughter is an acrobatic rock 'n' roll-dancing businesswoman and scientist, according to a Moscow journalist.
據莫斯科記者披露，弗拉基米爾·普京（Vladimir Putin）的神祕女兒是一位雜技搖滾舞蹈家，同時還是商人兼科學家。
Ekaterina Tikhonova, 28, is claimed to be one of Putin's two daughters who until now has been mystery figures to Russians, who are not allowed to see pictures of or know about the personal lives of the President's children.
有人稱，今年28歲的葉卡捷琳娜·蒂科諾娃（Ekaterina Tikhonova）是普京的二女之一。她仍然是俄羅斯公衆心中的一個神祕人物。因爲俄羅斯人民不允許看總統女兒的照片或者瞭解她們的私生活。
It is claimed Putin's youngest daughter Ekaterina is using her mother's maiden name, Tikhonova, and has been put in charge of a £1.1billion expansion of Moscow State University.
據稱，普京的小女兒葉卡捷琳娜用她母親的孃家姓科蒂諾娃（Tikhonova）作爲姓氏。她手中還掌管着莫斯科國立大學（Moscow State University）11億英鎊的擴建工程。
Journalist Oleg Kashin suggests that in reality that she has a number of faces - as befits the daughter of a former KGB spy - including the vice president of the world confederation of Acrobatic Rock 'n' Roll.
記者奧列格·卡申（Oleg Kashin）暗示道，事實上，她有着多重身份——顯然很適合這位前KGB（克格勃，蘇聯國家安全委員會）間諜的女兒——包括雜技搖滾舞世界聯盟的副主席。
A listing for dancer Yekaterina Tikhonova showed her birthday as 31 August 1986, the same date as Putin's younger daughter.
從一張舞者列表上看出，葉卡捷琳娜的出生爲1986年8月31日。該日期與普京的小女兒相吻合。
Her middle name or patronymic is Vladimirovna, indicating her father's name is Vladmir.
葉卡捷琳娜的中間名，也就是父名是Vladimirovna，表明她的父親的名字是Vladmir。
Tikhonova was also the Russian President's ex-wife Lyudmila's maiden name.
而Tikhonova是普京的前妻柳德米拉（Lyudmila）的孃家姓。
Extraordinary footage has emerged of her enthusiastically high-kicking on the dance floor with male partner Ivan Klimov - but this is evidently not her only role, though it was sufficient to see the claims go viral.
在一段珍貴視頻中可以看到，葉卡捷琳娜與男舞伴伊凡·克里莫夫（Ivan Klimov）熱情洋溢地在舞池中高踢腿。雖然舞者這一身份足以使流言廣泛傳播，但是顯然這並不是她的唯一身份。
Tikhonova attended this month's World Economic Forum in Davos along with other members of Russia's golden youth, the offspring of influential figures, it was claimed.
據稱，蒂科諾娃與俄羅斯的許多年輕企業家一起參加了本月的達沃斯世界經濟論壇。這些年輕的企業家們是頗有影響力的人物的子女。
And she is in charge of the £1.1 billion expansion of Moscow State University (MSU), while serving as a member of the institution's scientific council.
作爲科學顧問成員的葉卡捷琳娜還負責莫斯科國立大學（Moscow State University）的擴建工程。該工程價值達11億英鎊。
She appears in a number of university pictures at official ceremonies but has not been acknowledged as Putin's daughter though she appears strikingly similar in looks to Lyudmila.
她的形象多次出現在莫斯科國立大學的官方合影儀式上，但她從未承認她就是普京的女兒，儘管其長相與柳德米拉驚人地相似。
Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov was quoted saying: 'I do not know who she is. I cannot deny it, because I do not know.
普京的發言人德米特里·佩斯科夫（Dmitry Peskov）表示：“我不知道她是誰。我不能承認，因爲我根本不知道。”
'Until now, many girls said that they were daughters of Vladimir Putin'.

In a rare glimpse into his private life, Putin in November revealed both is adult daughters Maria and Yekaterina live in Russia - despite rumours they were domiciled abroad - but that he sees them only 'once or twice a month'.
極少提及私人生活的普京在11月透露說兩個女兒都已成年，一個叫瑪莉亞，一個叫葉卡捷琳娜，生活在俄羅斯（儘管有流言稱她們都在國外定居了），但是他只每月看她們一到兩次。
During his time in power, he has refused to reveal any details of their lives.
