梅姨打台球“献丑”，英国网友看完视频却乐翻了

最近，一段英国首相特蕾莎·梅和意大利总理朱塞佩·孔特打台球的视频，在网上火了起来！

Footage has emerged of UK Prime Minister Theresa May attempting to play pool with Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte.

 
当时，梅姨正参加在埃及举行的欧盟-阿盟峰会。忙里偷闲之际，她接受了意大利总理孔特的邀请去打台球。不过，梅姨却根本就不会打……要知道，在英国的餐馆酒吧里，台球可是相当流行的。

Stepping away from negotiations at the EU-Arab League summit in Egypt, May accepted a friendly challenge to a game from her Italian counterpart. But she had to rely on him to show her the fundamentals of a pastime which is popular in pubs across her homeland.



在意大利总理通过推特上传的视频中，可以听到梅姨说：我会得到很多人的支持，但我很绝望。你得教我怎么打。

In the video, posted to Twitter by the Italian premier, May can be heard saying, "I'll have a lot of support but I'll be hopeless. You'll have to show me how".


孔特先是亲身示范：



然后又用巧粉帮梅姨擦球杆，同时英方官员Gavin Barwell也在一旁解释规则，分享技巧。

As Conte chalks the cue for her, May's chief of staff Gavin Barwell steps in to assist the Italian in his explanation of the game.
 

随后梅姨弯腰亲自尝试击球，只不过在旁人看来，其手指动作略显怪异。

Lining up the ball at the end of the table, May awkwardly splays her fingers to steady the cue and strikes the white.

至于击球效果嘛……

CNN报道称，似乎是为了保留颜面，视频到这里就结束了……

Perhaps to save her blushes, the video cuts out before the shot is completed.
 


自然，我们也不知道梅姨对阵孔特，谁输谁赢了。

It's not clear if Mrs May managed to pot any balls or win the game against Conte.

俗话说，没有对比就没有伤害，英国《每日邮报》还特意找来一组老照片。照片上的英国前首相们——撒切尔、布莱尔和卡梅伦，都在比划击球，并且看上去要比梅姨的动作自信不少。
 




不出意外，梅姨略显僵硬的击球表现，再次成为英国网友们的谈资。值此脱欧关键时刻，梅姨自然不能避免成为嘲讽对象。

“我打赌，下一杆击球要拖延两个礼拜了”


看似平平无奇的评论，为啥能有700多个赞？

这是因为就在前不久，梅姨刚刚把有关脱欧协议的投票时间，再一次推迟了……



“梅姨在打台球。同一时刻，英国国会是这个样子的（炸锅了）。”


“脱欧台球局”


“孔特赢定了。梅姨的紧身外套限制了她的行动自如——她一直就有这个问题。”
 

话说，这早已不是梅姨第一次尝试自己不熟悉的动作了！之前由于僵硬的舞姿，她还被网友们嘲笑称为“Maybot，机器梅”。

去年8月，梅姨访问南非，就留下了这样看上去不太协调的尬舞镜头：

It was the awkward moment in front of the cameras for the famously reserved British leader, who, on a tour of South Africa, had been filmed gracelessly dancing along to a children's musical performance in Cape Town.



所以，梅姨要不试试这位网友的意见，看看能不能摆脱Maybot的名号？
 
不过讲真，英国网友们是不是也有点太较真了？
