對(duì)約翰內(nèi)斯堡FNB球場內(nèi)數(shù)以千計(jì)的曼德拉追悼者來說,這場“世紀(jì)葬禮”的確是對(duì)曼德拉這位“歷史巨人”最好的致敬。
But while some reflected on the remarkable life of Nelson Mandela, some world leaders saw it as the perfect opportunity to grab a quick 'selfie' with their peers.
追悼會(huì)上,曼德拉一生中不平凡的瞬間被一一展現(xiàn);但同時(shí),一些國家領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人卻把它當(dāng)成了與他國領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人迅速“自拍”的絕好機(jī)會(huì)。
Perhaps not in keeping with the tone of a memorial service, US President Barack Obama, Prime Minister David Cameron and Danish leader Helle Thorning-Schmidt grinned as they cosied up for a quick picture at today's memorial service for the former South African president, prompting an outpouring of criticism.
與追悼會(huì)氛圍不符的是,美國總統(tǒng)奧巴馬、英國首相卡梅倫和丹麥?zhǔn)紫嗪绽铡ね袑帯な┟芴刈谝黄鹫f笑起來,還在追悼會(huì)上玩起了自拍。這也引起了網(wǎng)民的廣泛爭議。
As the trio posed for the mobile phone snap, Obama's wife Michelle sat alongside her husband looking less than impressed.
當(dāng)這三位領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人拿著手機(jī)玩自拍時(shí),第一夫人米歇爾則坐在一旁一臉不悅。
Obama had earlier paid an emotional tribute to Nelson Mandela, calling the South African leader a 'giant of history' as he spoke in a stadium.
此前奧巴馬在球場內(nèi)發(fā)表了講話,傷感地向納爾遜·曼德拉致以敬意,稱這位南非領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人是“歷史巨人”。
To people watching inside the FNB stadium and in the wider South Africa, he said: "The world thanks you for sharing Nelson Mandela with us. His struggle was your struggle. His triumph was your triumph."
奧巴馬對(duì)FNB體育場內(nèi)在座的觀眾以及南非群眾說:“世界感謝你們,能與我們分享曼德拉的偉大。曼德拉的斗爭也是你們的斗爭。他的勝利也是你們的勝利。 ”
