📝 英文原文:
The annual Met Gala, which takes place this year on Monday, May 4, is always a lightning rod for controversy. Was Karl Lagerfeld too problematic to serve as a 2023 theme? Was TikTok, which had just been deemed a national security threat by the US government, an appropriate sponsor for 2024’s gala? And just how small can designers make Kim Kardashian’s waist? (This one comes up almost yearly.)But the 2026 gala, celebrating the accompanying exhibition, “Costume Art,” that gathers examples of clothed bodies from across the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s curatorial departments, has proven especially contentious.Elected amidgrowing public anxietyover income inequality, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced he will skip the A-list gathering. “My focus is also on affordability and making the most expensive city in the United States affordable, and that’s what I’m looking to spend a lot of my time focused on,” he told news siteHell Gatelast month.Then there is the matter of the evening’s sponsors. While fashion brands or tech behemoths like Instagram typically underwrite the affair, this year Amazon co-founder and executive chair, Jeff Bezos, and his wife, Lauren Sánchez Bezos, are the event’s main benefactors. They are also honorary chairs. (Co-chairs Beyoncé, Nicole Kidman, Venus Williams and Vogue’s Anna Wintour remain the official hosts, while Saint Laurent is sponsoring the exhibition catalog.)A guest's Karl Lagerfeld-themed cape is unfurled at the 2023 Met Gala. Lagerfeld, known for his Chanel designs and acerbic judgments, was the center of that year's exhibition.Neilson Barnard/Getty ImagesAfter the Met announced the Bezoses’ participation, many social media users — who are the Met Gala’s most enthusiastic promoters, tuning into Vogue’s livestream and analyzing looks for days afterwards — called for a boycott. This has materialized as actual protests from groups including Everyone Hates Elon (as in Musk), which over the past few weeks has papered New York City

一年一度的 Met Gala 于今年 5 月 4 日星期一举行,一直是争议的焦点。 Karl Lagerfeld 是否太有问题而不能作为 2023 年的主题?刚刚被美国政府视为国家安全威胁的 TikTok 是 2024 年晚会的合适赞助商吗?设计师能把金·卡戴珊 (Kim Kardashian) 的腰围设计得有多小? (这个几乎每年都会出现。)但是 2026 年的盛会庆祝了同期举办的展览“服装艺术”,该展览收集了布料的例子
