《中英對照讀英文 》U.N. chief meets South Korean pop star, Austrian skydiver─聯合國秘書長會見南韓流行歌手、奧地利跳傘人
◎陳維真
It’s not all war and peace at the United Nations. U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon added pop music and supersonic skydiving to his agenda on Tuesday when he met with "Gangnam Style" South Korean singer Psy and Austrian daredevil Felix Baumgartner.
聯合國不全是戰爭與和平。聯合國秘書長潘基文把流行音樂和超音速跳傘也加入他的行程中,週二與「江南Style」南韓歌手Psy與奧地利跳傘冒險家彭剛納爾會面。
"I’m a bit jealous," Ban told reporters. "Until two days ago someone told me I am the most famous Korean in the world. Now I have to relinquish."
潘基文告訴記者,「我有點嫉妒。兩天前,有人和我說,我是全球最有名的韓國人,現在我得把這個頭銜拱手讓人了。」
"We have a tough negotiations in the United Nations. In such a case I was also thinking of playing ’Gangnam Style’ dance so that everybody would stop and dance, maybe you can bring U.N. style," he said.
「聯合國有很艱苦的談判。這種情況下,我也想放『江南Style』,讓大家停下來跳舞,或許你可以帶來聯合國Style。」
But while he briefly posed like he was doing Psy’s trademark dance, Ban wasn’t ready to attempt it. "I know that you are here to see me dance but don’t worry - I cannot even imitate your movement," Ban said.
雖然他短暫擺出Psy的招牌舞步動作,但潘基文還沒準備好要嘗試。潘基文說,「我知道你是來看我跳舞的,不過別擔心,我連你的舞步都模仿不來。」
While the U.N. secretary-general deals with weighty issues such as the conflict in Syria and crisis in Mali, he also said he believes it is important to engage other parts of society.
