British mayor drops pants

英市長演講掉褲子(圖)

The lord mayor of Leicester, the UK, was left red-cheeked after his trousers fell down in front of hundreds of school children and teachers, the Mirror of London reported. When Colin Hall (see photo), 46, stood up to say thanks at a library event Tuesday, his pants came loose and dropped to his ankles. The mayor said Wednesday that he had "unfortunately chosen not to wear a belt" and offered "deepest apologies' to the public.

據(jù)英國《每日鏡報》報道，英國萊斯特市46歲的柯林·霍爾(圖)市長6月29日在參加一次圖書館活動中起身致謝時，他的長褲竟突然從腰間滑落掉至腳踝，令在場數(shù)百名師生瞠目結舌。市長次日解釋，那天他"不幸沒系腰帶"，并向公眾致以"最深的歉意"。
