雙語(yǔ)美文:粉刷匠與首相的合影
Beaming for the camera with his arms wrapped around UK's Prime Minister, you might think the man with David Cameron was one of his friends.
一個(gè)人用手臂環(huán)繞著英國(guó)首相,對(duì)著照相機(jī)眉開(kāi)眼笑。你可能會(huì)以為他是大衛(wèi)·卡梅倫的某位朋友。
In fact, Dean Wallis, a 33-year-old plasterer, had never met Cameron before, and had just asked for a photograph after spotting him dining in a restaurant.
事實(shí)上,33歲的粉刷工迪安-沃利斯以前從沒(méi)見(jiàn)過(guò)卡梅倫。他只是在餐廳認(rèn)出卡梅倫后,便提出想與他合影留念。
Recalling the encounter, Wallis said, "He was wearing a polo shirt and was with five or six people. I approached him and said hello. He shook my hand and I asked if it was OK to have a photo with him. He said he was just having his dinner at the moment. I said, 'I'll leave you to it.' He was very polite about it."
回憶這次奇遇時(shí),沃利斯說(shuō):“他身穿馬球衫,身邊有五六個(gè)隨行人員。我走上前去問(wèn)好,他與我握了手。我詢問(wèn)是否可以與他合影,他說(shuō)自己正在用餐。我說(shuō):‘我聽(tīng)候您的安排。’他很有禮貌。”
Wallis thought his chance had passed but later he was called over to see Cameron, who said, "Sorry about earlier. Would you and your girlfriend like to take a picture?" Therefore, the three of them took a picture then.
沃利斯原以為機(jī)會(huì)泡湯了,不料后來(lái)卡梅倫卻請(qǐng)他過(guò)去,并且說(shuō):“我對(duì)之前發(fā)生的事很抱歉。你和你的女朋友還想和我拍照嗎?”所以,他們?nèi)齻€(gè)人隨后拍了一張合影照。
"He was sitting down and it was difficult to get to his height so I ended up leaning over and putting my arms around him," said Wallis while recalling.
“他是坐著的,要和他在同一高度很困難,所以最后我就俯下身子,用手臂環(huán)繞著他?!蔽掷够貞浾f(shuō)。
Wallis was so proud of the result. He has a copy in his living room and his mother has another in a silver frame.
這次合影讓沃利斯非常驕傲。他洗了一張照片掛在自家的客廳里,他的母親也擁有一張,并加裱了銀色邊框。
