英国气象播报员直播时竖中指惹争议

2010-08-18来源:和谐英语
  'I've just seen Tom Schafernaker preparing for it.'

  At this point, the camera pans to the Polish-born weatherman, who reacted to the sarcastic tone by sticking his middle finger up before suddenly realising he is on camera.

  He then proceeds to try and disguise the blunder by scratching his chin.

  A gasp can be heard before McCoy quips: 'There's always one mistake. That was it.'

  但没想到,这样一句轻松幽默的介绍让率性惯了的谢弗内克冲着两位同事竖起了中指,虽然是开玩笑,但他没有意识到电视直播镜头已经转向了他。一瞬间的错愕让他意识到自己失态了,马上掩住嘴不知所措。而麦考伊和女搭档也深感震惊,他自嘲地说:“人总会犯错误,就像这样。”

  This is not the first time Schafernaker, 31, has found himself in hot water.

  Last year he stumbled over his words and forecast a 'muddy sh*te' for the Glastonbury festival.

  He was also forced to apologise in 2007 after referring to the Outer Hebrides in the Western Isles of Scotland as 'nowheresville.' 

  这已经不是素有“大嘴”之称的托马斯-谢弗内克第一次处在“水深火热”中了。去年他曾将格拉斯顿伯里音乐节所处的地段说成“泥泞狗屎”;2007年时,他还因为把苏格兰的外赫布里底群岛说成是“鸟不拉屎的地方”被迫道歉。
