Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s meeting on Tuesday with the European Union’s two presidents has raised eyebrows after European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen appeared to be left standing while her male counterparts settled into two gilded chairs at the focal point of the room.

土耳其總統艾多根週二與歐洲聯盟的兩位領袖的會面令人詫異，兩名男性領袖已安坐於房間顯眼處的兩張鍍金椅時，歐盟執委會主席烏蘇拉．馮德萊恩明顯被晾站在一旁。

In a video of the awkward moment in Ankara, von der Leyen seems unsure of where to sit, gestures with her right hand and says "ehm" as Erdogan and European Council President Charles Michel take their seats.

記錄這段發生於安卡拉的尷尬時刻的影片中，當艾多根與歐洲理事會主席米歇爾入坐時，馮德萊恩看似不知道她該坐在哪裡，以右手比了個手勢與「嗯」了一聲。

Von der Leyen was eventually offered a seat on a nearby sofa, opposite Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu, who occupies a lower-status rank in diplomatic protocol.

馮德萊恩最後坐到一旁的沙發上，她的對面是在外交禮儀上層級較低的土耳其外長卡夫索格魯。
