2012-03-19来源:21st英语网

Ron Wade from east Texas was particularly interested in White House memorabilia, Yahoo reported. His collection of 10,000 presidential buttons and furniture used by U.S. presidents — worth more than $300,000 — will be featured on TV.

据雅虎新闻网报道,来自美国德克萨斯州东部的罗恩·韦德对收集白宫纪念物极有兴趣。他收集的10000多件总统使用过的物件和家具,价值30万美金,将在电视节目中展出。

In 2004, Wade built a mini replica of the Oval Office in his home. It took two-and-a-half years to design, eight months and 250 workers to build the thing and cost a quarter-million dollars.

2004年,他在自己家中复制建造了微型总统办公室,历时两年半设计,250名工人用8个月建成,共花费25万美金。

Wade said his wife, Laura, supports his fetish: She and their two daughters dress up like the Kennedys to go on drives in his vintage car.

韦德称,妻子劳拉非常支持他的这一嗜好,常和两位女儿身着肯尼迪家族服饰,坐在老式车里兜风。
