(CNN)Vladimir Putin, Russia’s leading Renaissance man, has just shown off yet another hidden talent: He’s a trained pianist.
俄罗斯多才多艺的总统弗拉基米尔.普京又展示了他的另一项不为人知的才能:他是一位受过训练的钢琴家。
The controversial Russian president was at a Chinese state guesthouse in Beijing on Sunday, waiting for a meeting with President Xi Jinping. There, Putin spotted a shiny black grand piano and couldn’t resist.
星期天,在中国北京的一个国宾馆,这位备受争议的俄罗斯总统正在等待与习近平会晤。在那儿,他看到了一架闪亮的黑色三角钢琴,来了兴致。
Putin sat down and spontaneously played two Russian songs, "Moscow Windows" and "The City on the Free Neva River," Russia’s Sputnik news agency reported.
普京坐到钢琴前,很自然的弹奏了两首俄罗斯歌曲《莫斯科之窗》和《暮歌》,据俄罗斯卫星网报道。
But this was far from a typical spontaneous performance. First, a videographer followed Putin as he walked to the piano. Second, the Russian leader played the unofficial anthems of Moscow and St. Petersburg -- apparently never missing an opportunity to promote his country.
不过,这可不是一次偶发性的演出。首先,他走向钢琴时旁边跟着摄影师;其次,他弹奏的是莫斯科和圣彼得堡的非官方市歌——显然不错过任何一个推销他的国家的机会。
Putin was in Beijing to attend the "Belt and Road" economic forum. The conference focuses on the massive One Belt, One Road (OBOR) trade initiative, which takes its inspiration from the ancient Silk Road trading route.
普京是到北京来参加“一带一路”经济论坛的。这次会议聚集“一带一路”贸易合作倡议,它的灵感来自于古代丝绸之路。
Putin’s unexpected piano recital certainly isn’t the first time he’s publicized his skills and hobbies outside the Kremlin.
普京这次意想不到的钢琴秀可不是他第一次在克里姆林宫以外大秀才艺。
The annual Vladimir Putin calendar has showcased the president’s many passions, featuring him as an equestrian, a pilot, a shirtless fisherman and a cat lover.
年度版的普京日历也展示了这位总统生活中的多面柔情,比如他骑马、驾驶飞机、赤膊钓鱼和怀抱小猫的场景。
