Brown can't go casual

布朗穿西裝度假遭嘲笑

Gordon Brown, 59, has been keeping a low profile since standing down as UK Prime Minister in May. But he is still struggling to shake off the formal style which characterised his time in office, UK media reported Sunday. Taking to the waters of a Scottish loch with his 2 sons Saturday, he again failed to master the casual look. Mr Brown wore a sombre navy suit and shirt under his life jacket as he went for a dinghy ride with the boys (see photo). The Daily Mail of London said, "For goodness sake, Sarah, please take Gordon out and get him some weekend casual gear."

據英國媒體8月1日報道，59歲的布朗今年5月卸任英國首相以后，行事一直相當低調。然而，他似乎仍擺脫不了當年在任時西裝革履的正統形象。7月31日，布朗攜二子在蘇格蘭一小湖乘橡皮艇度假時，還是"休閑"不起來，灰暗的西裝、襯衫外面套著救生衣(見圖)，《每日郵報》因此直呼:"看在上帝的份上，莎拉(布朗妻子)，快把布朗拉走，給他穿點休閑裝吧！"
