Can you imagine boarding a commercial flight and finding out the person sitting next to you is the President of Mexico? It could actually happen.
当你乘坐一架商业航班出行的时候,你能想象身边的人是墨西哥总统吗?这件事已经实实在在的发生了。
It's only been three days since Mexican President Andrés Manuel Lopez Obrador took office, but some of his campaign promises are already in motion.
墨西哥新任总统安德烈斯·曼努埃尔·洛佩斯·奥夫拉多尔上任仅3天,就已经开始实现自己的一些竞选承诺。
During his leftist bid for presidency1, Lopez Obrador vowed2 to sell the presidential plane -- a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner -- and use the proceeds to help his country's poorer communities.
在他的左翼总统竞选中,洛佩斯表示将出售自己的总统专机--一架波音787-8梦幻客机,将所得用于帮助国家贫困的社区。
"I will not get on the presidential plane. I would be embarrassed. My face would be filled with shame if I board such a luxurious3 plane in a country with so much poverty," Lopez Obrador said in a video posted to Twitter in September.
洛佩斯·奥夫拉多尔在今年9月发布在推特上的一段视频中表示:“我不会乘坐总统专机,在墨西哥这样贫穷的国家坐豪华客机,我会觉得羞耻。”
True to his word, just one day after taking office Lopez Obrador flew on a commercial airline to the Gulf4 state of Veracruz.
说话算话,就在上任一天后,洛佩斯·奥夫拉多尔就乘坐商业航班前往墨西哥韦拉克鲁斯州。
The President was photographed at Mexico City International Airport traveling just like any other passenger, reported CNN affiliate5 ForoTV.
据CNN子频道ForoTV报道称,在墨西哥城国际机场拍摄的照片显示,这位总统和其它乘客别无分别。
A video posted to Twitter showed Lopez Obrador in what appeared to be coach class. At least he had a window seat.
