LUCIA BENAVIDES, BYLINE: Former King Juan Carlos was once seen as the father of Spanishdemocracy. Chosen by the dictator Francisco Franco to carry on his legacy, King Juan Carlosinstead led Spain to democratic rule after ascending the throne in 1975. Thirty-nine yearslater, he abdicated the throne amid a series of personal and financial scandals, including taxevasion, extramarital affairs and elephant hunting expeditions in the middle of a financialcrisis.

JUAN CARLOS: (Speaking Spanish).

胡安·卡洛斯：（用西班牙语讲话）。

BENAVIDES: His public apology in 2012 did nothing to erase a photo of him standing infront of an elephant's corpse, rifle in hand. And news of other scandals continued even after hehanded the throne to his son, King Felipe. This June, Spain's Supreme Court opened aninvestigation into Juan Carlos' private Swiss bank account, where he allegedly hid $100 milliongiven to him by the then-king of Saudi Arabia, King Abdullah, in 2008. Earlier this year, theseaccusations led King Felipe to renounce his father's inheritance and strip the former king ofhis annual stipend of more than $200,000.

贝纳维德斯：他在2012年进行的公开道歉没能清除其手拿步枪站在大象尸体前的照片。甚至在他将王位传给其儿子国王费利佩之后，他的其他丑闻仍在陆续曝光。今年6月，西班牙最高法院对胡安·卡洛斯的瑞士私人银行账户启动调查，他涉嫌将2008年从时任沙特阿拉伯国王阿卜杜拉那里获得的1亿美元藏在该账户中。今年早些时候，这些指控迫使国王费利佩放弃其父亲的遗产，并剥夺了前国王超过20万美元的年薪。
