拜登又口误了 叫错韩国现任总统名字
近日，美国总统乔·拜登（Joe Biden）在访问韩国平泽三星园区发表讲话时，又口误了，把韩国现任总统尹锡悦（Yoon Seok-youl）错喊成前总统文在寅（Moon Jae-in）。
无注释原文：
Biden bungles South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol’s name
NEW YORK POST
President Biden’s first trip to Asia got off to a rocky start Friday when he called South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol by his predecessor’s name at a Samsung microchip facility.
Biden quickly corrected himself after addressing Yoon as “Moon,” an apparent reference to former Korean President Moon Jae-in, whose five-year term ended earlier this month.
“Thank you all very much and President Moon — Yoon, thank you for everything you’ve done so far,” Biden said at the end of his remarks.
Yoon, standing next to Biden, did not visibly react to the gaffe, which seemed to be an ad-libbed conclusion to a speech that Biden read from a teleprompter. The American president had twice called Yoon by his correct name earlier in the speech.
In an ironic twist, the slip-up came almost exactly one year after Biden mistakenly referred to Moon as South Korea’s “prime minister” rather than “president” during a White House Medal of Honor ceremony honoring Korean War veteran Ralph Puckett Jr.
“The people of the Republic of Korea haven’t forgotten, as evidenced by the fact that the Prime Minister of Korea is here for this ceremony,” Biden said on May 21 of last year, referring to Moon.
The president turns 80 in November and Republicans routinely accuse him of being in mental decline, but he’s also had a decades-long propensity for gaffes and has attributed some of his speaking stumbles to a stutter that he overcame in childhood.
Biden struggled on multiple occasions with names this week.
On Monday, he referred to Buffalo mass shooting hero Aaron Salter Jr. — the grocery store guard and ex-cop who died trying to stop the massacre — by the surname “Slater.”
Biden struggled Tuesday to say “AANHPI” during remarks on Asian-American history month. The acronym recently replaced “AAPI” as the most politically correct way of referring to people of Asian and Pacific Islander descent by also incorporating the letters “NH” for Native Hawaiians.
The official White House transcript quoted Biden as saying, “AAN- — NH — PI — aye, aye, aye, aye, aye.”
On Thursday, Biden used two different pronunciations of Swedish Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson’s last name during Rose Garden remarks about Sweden and Finland’s applications to join NATO.
Last month, Biden said at an event with teachers in the White House East Room that he marks up drafts of his speeches to ensure he delivers them properly and compared his childhood stutter to British King George VI’s speaking impediment, detailed in the 2010 film “The King’s Speech.”
“The guy who wrote ‘The King’s Speech’ found the original speech and made a copy of it and sent it to me — no, I mean, from the movie. And he does his speeches exactly like I did,” Biden said, adding, “If you took a look at my speech, you’ll see that there’s all these slash marks in the speech.”
President Donald Trump campaigned against Biden in 2020 by nicknaming him “Sleepy Joe”. That perception has carried into present-day domestic and even international politics. A Saudi TV station last month aired a comedy skit of a bumbling Biden mixing up names and falling asleep.
But Biden is hardly alone in flubbing names. Former President George W. Bush, 75, this week accidentally condemned the “wholly unjustified and brutal invasion of Iraq” — which he launched in 2003 — when he meant to say Ukraine. And Trump, also 75, this month mixed up the name of the Ohio Republican Senate candidate he endorsed, referring to his pick JD Vance as “JP, right? JD Mandel.”

And Trump, also 75, this month mixed up the name of the Ohio Republican Senate candidate he endorsed, referring to his pick JD Vance as “JP, right? JD Mandel.”
但拜登并不是唯一一个弄错名字的人。75岁的前总统乔治·W·布什（George W. Bush）本周意外地谴责了他在2003年发动的“完全没有道理的对伊拉克的野蛮入侵”，而他想说的其实是乌克兰。同样是75岁的特朗普本月混淆了他所支持的俄亥俄州共和党参议员候选人的名字，把JD Vance称为“JP，对吗？JD Mandel”。

⚠️这里补充一下，看到上面的「背书」你可能疑惑了，除了在金融上的含义，现在往往被用于政治领域。
📍例如，新华网2020年4月份一则新闻标题就为「奥巴马“背书”拜登」讲的就是奥巴马发声力挺拜登。
