安地卡及巴布達聖喬治,11月2日(路透社)——英國國王查爾斯在安地卡遭遇一場熱帶暴雨時,沮喪地舉起雙手;他的妻子卡蜜拉王后則拿著唯一可用的雨傘離開。SAINT GEORGE, Antigua and Barbuda, Nov 2 (Reuters) - King Charles flung up his hands in despair as he was caught in a tropical rainstorm in Antigua, while his wife Queen Camilla strolled off with the only available umbrella.
這對王室夫婦的加勒比海訪問行程,一直受到英國在奴隸貿易中所扮演角色的辯論所主導;但週日登上媒體頭條的,卻是這位全身濕透的君主。The couple's Caribbean tour has been dominated by the debate over Britain's role in the slave trade, but it was the sight of the soaked monarch which made headlines on Sunday.
大雨猛烈打在77歲的查爾斯身上時,只見他比手畫腳並轉過身,試圖引起可能幫忙的人注意;卡蜜拉則受到保護,未被這場暴雨淋濕。As the rain hammered down on Charles, 77, he was seen gesturing and turning round to try to attract the attention of someone who might help, while Camilla was shielded from the downpour.
參加安地卡及巴布達獨立日遊行的當地人,在暴風雨襲來時毫不退縮。Locals taking part in the Antigua and Barbuda independence day parade did not flinch as they were lashed by the storm.
查爾斯最後拿到一把雨傘,並被拍到與總理賈斯頓・布朗開玩笑談起這段經歷。王室家族Instagram帳號發布的一段影片中,他說:「我想我的西裝上快要長出西洋菜了。」Charles was eventually given an umbrella and was seen joking about his experience with Prime Minister Gaston Browne. "I think I'm about to grow watercress on my suit," he said in a video posted on the royal family's Instagram account.
這並非以脾氣急躁出名的查爾斯第一次在公開場合被拍下不滿情緒。It is not the first time the frustration of the famously short-fused Charles has been captured in public.
2022年他成為國王後不久,在北愛爾蘭一場活動中,一支鋼筆漏墨沾到他的手上,他不悅地作出反應;這起事件隨後在社群媒體上瘋傳。Not long after he became king in 2022 in an incident which went viral on social media, he reacted grumpily when a pen leaked ink onto his hand at an event in Northern Ireland.
他咒罵道:「噢天啊,我討厭這個。」"Oh God, I hate this," he cursed.
他接著說:「我受不了這該死的東西……每次都這麼討厭。」"I can't bear this bloody thing… every stinking time," he continued.
後來他也自嘲,在之後一場活動中開玩笑說:「我希望我的筆會好好運作。它通常不會。」He has since made fun of himself, quipping at a subsequent event, "I'm hoping that my pen is going to work. It doesn't usually."
他預定週二向大英國協各國領袖發表演說。自從成為國王以來,他已對奴隸制度造成的苦難表達悲痛,但沒有跨過英國長期抗拒的一條界線:道歉。He is due to make a speech to Commonwealth leaders on Tuesday. Since becoming king, he has expressed sorrow for the suffering caused by slavery without crossing a line that Britain has long resisted: an apology.
