小两口吵架惊动警方,后续秀恩爱又被群嘲……这个“宝藏男孩”真要当英国首相了?

世纪君 21世纪英文报 2019-11-07

在梅姨离开唐宁街10号之后,有关下任英国首相的人选越发成为大家关心的焦点。然而就在如此紧要关头,大热门鲍里斯•约翰逊又“作”了一把。

英国《卫报》网站率先爆料:
鲍里斯:因争吵纠纷,警方来到潜在首相的家
独家:邻居录下鲍里斯与女友Carrie Symonds在寓所中的喊叫争吵声



当地时间上周五凌晨,鲍里斯的邻居听到其住所内传来高声争吵,有人尖叫、大喊并发出乒乒乓乓的声音。邻居随后报警,而屋内的争吵声甚至在屋外都听得见。

Police were called to the home of Boris Johnson and his partner, Carrie Symonds, in the early hours of last Friday morning after neighbours heard a loud altercation involving screaming, shouting and banging. The argument could be heard outside the property.

邻居接受《卫报》采访时表示,曾听到女子的尖叫声,以及Symonds对鲍里斯说“离我远点”,“滚出我的公寓”这样的话语。

A neighbour told the Guardian they heard a woman screaming. At one point Symonds could be heard telling Johnson to “get off me” and “get out of my flat”.

邻居敲门后并没有得到答复,所以他们就比较担心了:“我当时希望有人告诉我们没事儿,但是我敲了三次门,没有人过来应答。”

The neighbour said that after becoming concerned they knocked on the door but received no response. “I [was] hoping that someone would answer the door and say ‘We’re okay’. I knocked three times and no one came to the door.”

所以邻居选择报警,午夜过后三辆警车在数分钟之后赶到现场。在确认两人安全后,警方就离开了。

The neighbour decided to call 999. Two police cars and a van arrived within minutes, shortly after midnight, but left after receiving reassurances from both the individuals in the flat that they were safe.

英媒说鲍里斯是潜在首相,可一点也不为过。

要知道,就在上周四的第五轮,也是最后一轮保守党议员投票中,有313位保守党议员参加了投票,其中1张选票被判定无效。而鲍里斯以160票遥遥领先,杰里米•亨特以77票名列第二,成为胜出的前两位候选人;环境大臣迈克尔•戈夫以75票名列第三被淘汰。

In the fifth and final round last Thursday, Boris Johnson came out on top with 160 out of the 313 votes cast. Jeremy Hunt received 77 votes and Michael Gove was knocked out with 75.

同一天,《卫报》联系到警方,而警方在最初的答复表示“该住址并无家暴事件记录”。当《卫报》提供了案件号码、警车出警等资料后,警方发布了声明:在6月21日周五0时24分,警方响应当地(伦敦南部)居民报警,报警人称担心女性邻居的安危。

When contacted by the Guardian last Friday, police initially said they had no record of a domestic incident at the address. But when given the case number and reference number, as well as identification markings of the vehicles that were called out, police issued a statement saying: “At 00:24hrs on Friday, 21 June, police responded to a call from a local resident in [south London]. The caller was concerned for the welfare of a female neighbour.

“警方出警,并且和地址中的所有人谈话了,他们都安然无恙。警方认为没有侵犯事件或令人担忧的事件发生,也没有让警方采取行动的理由。”

“Police attended and spoke to all occupants of the address, who were all safe and well. There were no offences or concerns apparent to the officers and there was no cause for police action.”

邻居则表示,由于担心Symonds的安全,所以他们录下了争吵的内容。在录音中,可以听到鲍里斯拒绝离开公寓,并且对Symonds说“放下我的笔记本电脑”,之后又是一声巨响。

The neighbour said they recorded the altercation from inside their flat out of concern for Symonds. On the recording, heard by the Guardian, Johnson can be heard refusing to leave the flat and telling Symonds to “get off my f***ing laptop” before there is a loud crashing noise.

录音中同样听到Symonds的声音,她说鲍里斯把红酒洒到了沙发上:“你就是什么都不在乎,因为你被宠坏了!你不在乎钱,你什么都不在乎。”

Symonds is heard saying Johnson had ruined a sofa with red wine: “You just don’t care for anything because you’re spoilt. You have no care for money or anything.”

在如此关键时刻,却曝出这样的负面消息,对于鲍里斯而言可不是什么好事情:他的竞选之路可能蒙上阴影。

据《中国日报》网报道,在22日举行的会议中,约翰逊多次被问到为什么警察会被叫到他的家。他则回避称,人们应该不会想听这件事,而是想知道自己有关国家和政党的计划。

Johnson ducked repeated questions during a leadership hustings in Birmingham the day before. Questioned by journalist, he said: "I don't think they want hear about that kind of thing," prompting applause from party members. "I think what they want to hear is what my plans are for the country and the party."

在上周末进行的一项民调中,结果显示在此事件后,鲍里斯的支持率下降。他从领先竞争对手杰里米•亨特8个百分点,变成了落后3个百分点。而在同一时期《每日邮报》的统计中,保守党投票人面对“谁将成为最佳首相人选”这一问题时,鲍里斯的支持率从领先27%骤降到11%。

A poll conducted last weekend showed support for Johnson had fallen sharply following the incident. His eight-point lead earlier in the week had fallen to three points behind Jeremy Hunt. Among Tory voters, when asked who would make the best prime minister, Johnson’s lead had slumped from 27% to 11% in the same period, according to Survation, which carried out the polls for the Mail on Sunday.

杰里米•亨特同样没忘记“补刀”,针对鲍里斯对这一事件“避而不答”的态度,亨特表示:我认为想当首相的人就应该回答所有问题,不过我不会就此发表评论。

Asked about the issue, Hunt told Sky News: "I think someone who wants to be PM should answer questions on everything, but I'm not going to comment on character."

亨特表示鲍里斯和女友的纠纷“与领导人辩论无关”,因为英国在脱欧问题上已经到了“十分严峻的地步。”

Hunt said he thought the story about Mr Johnson's row with his girlfriend was "irrelevant to the leadership debate" because the country was in "such a serious situation" over Brexit.

 

眼看选战已经到了白热化地步,鲍里斯却以这样的新闻上头条,也难怪英国工党脱欧发言人Keir Starmer在推特上转发了《卫报》有关新闻后,发表了这样的评论:还有人比鲍里斯更不适合当首相的吗?



据BBC报道,大约16万保守党成员将于7月选出下任党魁——也是下一任英国首相。7月6至8日,选举开始,结果预计将在22日那一周揭晓。

Next month around 160,000 Conservative Party members will choose the next leader of the Tory Party - and the next prime minister. Members will receive their ballots between 6 and 8 July, with the new leader expected to be announced in the week beginning 22 July.


不过,你以为事情到这里就完了?并没有哦……

在吵架事件几天之后,一张鲍里斯和女友的牵手照片在部分英媒上传播开来, 甚至还登上了几份报纸的头条。

A picture of Boris Johnson holding hands with his girlfriend Carrie Symonds features on several front pages.
 



包括《镜报》和《Metro》还都用了“Carrie on”这样的谐音双关来吸引眼球。英文中carry on可以表示“坚持、继续”等含义,这里则用了鲍里斯女友的名字Carrie来代替carry,暗指两人关系继续~

“What a Carrie on,” says the Mirro. The Metro has the same “Carrie on” pun in its main headline.


 
只不过,这张构图良好,意境深远的照片,出现在鲍里斯和女友吵架的关键时刻,是不是太巧合了?也让大家质疑是不是摆拍的公关痕迹过于明显。

但是据《卫报》报道,鲍里斯在接受广播节目采访中,多次拒绝表示,这张泄露给媒体的照片,是否来自其竞选团队的公关策略。

Boris Johnson has repeatedly refused to say whether his campaign team passed a photograph of him and his partner to newspapers as a PR strategy during a radio interview.



同样,照片没有任何有关具体拍摄地点、拍摄时间以及拍摄者的细节。

The pictures appeared in selected newspapers without any details of where and when they were taken, or by whom.

有人指出,照片上的鲍里斯头发长度,似乎也跟现在不同。鲍里斯同样没有回答。

尽管问题多多,这张照片却还是火了!

为啥?因为它激发了广大网友的P图灵感,各种花样层出不穷。

比如完美契合泰坦尼克背景:
 


比如无处不在的活宝鲍里斯:



再比如一旁暗中观察的卡梅伦:


最刺激的莫过于:他们又打了一架……



这么看来,鲍里斯是不是能当上英国首相,都不妨碍他成为网民心中的“宝藏男孩”了~
