跟前任奥巴马比起来,美国总统特朗普总是显得有些另类,以至于被人批评“没有总统的样子”。听到这样的评价,特朗普作何反应呢?
美国时间上周二,特朗普在佛罗里达的一次集会中,再度奉献演技高光时刻:在讲台上怼了那些说他“没总统样子”的人。
US President Donald Trump joked with the crowd at his rally in Tampa, Florida, last Tuesday evening about not acting presidential.
特朗普先是表示自己喜欢“粗放一些的方式,也会很有趣”,而且“摆出一个总统样,比我现在做的要容易得多,每个人都能演出总统范儿。”
Trump said he likes to "be a little wild, have a little fun" during rallies, and it's "a lot easier to act presidential than do what I do. Anybody can act presidential."
随后特朗普就开始了自己的表演,先是踱来踱去,然后用单调的声音对人群说道:“佛罗里达的先生们女士们,感谢大家来到这里。你们都很棒,我现在就要走了,不然就把你们无聊死了,谢谢!”随后,特朗普再踱步作势离开。
To demonstrate this, he began speaking in a monotone voice, telling the crowd: " "Ladies and gentleman of the state of Florida, thank you very much for being here," he said in a robotic tone with a straight face. You are tremendous people and I will leave now because I am boring you to death, thank you," before lurching away.
特朗普还有自己的总结陈词:
“我一直就跟他们——也就是假新闻媒体说:除了那位戴着大帽子的林肯,我比历史上任何总统都更有总统的样子。我也不知道为什么。”
“I used to tell them all the time - the fake news- I would say: I can be more presidential than any president in history. Except for possible Abe Lincole with the big hat. I don’t know why. “
“林肯看上去就很有总统样儿,对吧?他是个硬汉,我承认他是个硬汉,我们都爱林肯。”
"Abe looked pretty presidential, right?" he said. "He's tough. I admit it, Abe Lincoln is tough, but we love Abe Lincoln."
据《今日美国》报道,特朗普随后还引用了民意调查的结果,说自己是共和党历史上最受欢迎的人物。7月上旬,特朗普就曾在推特和采访中频频提及民意调查,夸耀自己已经超越林肯。
He then talked about a poll and asserted that he was the most popular person in the history of the Republican party. Trump has mentioned the poll numerous times over Twitter and in an interview earlier last month, bragging that he beat Lincoln.
不过在最后,《今日美国》也很幽默地补了一刀:特朗普并没有提及在林肯当总统的19世纪60年代,还没有出现很科学的民意调查活动……
But he hasn't mentioned that there were no scientific opinion polls in the 1860s when Lincoln was president.
