奧巴馬陷“拿鐵敬禮”門

去年，美國總統(tǒng)奧巴馬與時任土耳其總理在白宮外開發(fā)布會時，因讓一旁的海軍陸戰(zhàn)隊(duì)員幫他撐傘而被各界批評，身陷“打傘門”。昨日，奧巴馬前往紐約參加聯(lián)合國氣候峰會。下直升機(jī)時，他用拿著咖啡杯的手隨意給兩位敬禮的士兵回了禮，這一幕被拍下放到白宮Instagram以后，又引發(fā)各界不滿，此舉被稱為“拿鐵敬禮”門。

When President Obama stepped off Marine One at the Wall Street landing zone in New York City, he saluted back two Marines at the bottom of the stairs as he held a coffee cup in the same hand.

美國總統(tǒng)直升機(jī)座駕“海軍陸戰(zhàn)隊(duì)一號”降落在紐約市華爾街降落區(qū)，奧巴馬下飛機(jī)后，用拿著咖啡杯的手向兩位敬禮的陸戰(zhàn)隊(duì)員回禮。

The unusual gesture appeared in an Instagram video posted by the White House on social media. It was quickly dubbed the “latte salute.”

這一不尋常的舉動視頻被發(fā)布在白宮的Instagram賬號上，并很快被網(wǎng)友戲稱的“拿鐵敬禮”。

The video drew ridicule from some Instagram users, who saw the unorthodox salute as “un-presidential.”

這一視頻引來一些Instagram用戶的嘲諷，認(rèn)為這種不正規(guī)的敬禮方式“有失總統(tǒng)風(fēng)范”。

Others saw unnecessary nitpicking in the criticism.“People are dying from disease, abuse or even hunger,” another user commented on the video. “Priorities.”

有些用戶則表示沒有必要如此挑刺。有用戶評論說：“人們在因?yàn)榧膊　⑴按踔琉囸I而死去，請大家關(guān)注重點(diǎn)。”

However one feels about today’s salute, it’s unlikely any coffee was at play. President Obama prefers hot tea.

對于敬禮事件，還有網(wǎng)友表示不同看法。他認(rèn)為奧巴馬手里拿的不是咖啡，奧巴馬總統(tǒng)更喜歡喝熱茶。
