在美度假着泳裤遭偷拍 萨科奇发飚
Zut alors! Nosy photogs pester Sarkozy on vacation
[ 2007-08-14 10:07 ]

French President Sarkozy points at the two photographers

French President Nicolas Sarkozy, rarely shy in front of cameras, found enough was enough Sunday when chased down by two news photographers while boating in his bathing suit on his American holiday.

Sarkozy angrily confronted two photographers and even jumped aboard their boat when they snapped pictures of him and his family, one of the photographers said.

"Zut alors! French president loses his temper on Lake Winnipesaukee," was the banner headline Monday on the front-page of the local newspaper, the Union Leader. It ran with a photograph of an upset Sarkozy pointing his index finger directly at the photographer.

The incident occurred at about 2:00 pm Sunday, when the French leader and his family were taking a boat trip on Lake Winnipesauke, according to Vincent DeWitt, who works for Sipa photo agency.

DeWitt and an Associated Press photographer took off around 1 pm (1700 GMT) on a boat to get close to the swank vacation home Sarkozy was visiting.

"We could see some activity on the dock," said DeWitt. "The president, his wife and children went on a boat."

That is when he saw Sarkozy pointing at them. "I could see that he was angry," DeWitt said. "He had the boat captain steer towards us.

"President Sarkozy (then) stepped onto our boat. He started talking very agitatedly in French."

"He was pointing at me," DeWitt said, adding that Sarkozy even grabbed his long-lens camera.

A woman with dark hair then said in English in a very calm voice: "The president asked that no pictures were taken."

Sarkozy calmed down, and again asked that no pictures be taken.

Sarkozy arrived Wolfeboro on Friday and is staying with his family in a lakeside mansion. It is Sarkozy's first summer break since becoming president in May.

Wolfeboro, a quiet town of some 6,000 people by Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire, is said to be the country's oldest summer resort.

法国总统尼古拉斯•萨科奇在镜头面前很少害羞,可上周日,当这位在美国度假的总统先生穿着泳裤划船被两名摄影记者追踪时,他可实在是受够了。

据其中一名摄影记者透露,当萨科奇看到他和他的家人被偷拍时,生气地指着他们,还跳上了他们的游船。

当地《Union Leader》报周一的头版头条就是《见鬼!法国总统在温尼珀索基湖发飚了》,文中还配有一张萨科奇生气地用食指指着那位摄影记者的照片。

据在Sipa图片社工作的文森特•德维特介绍,这一事件发生于当地时间上周日下午两点,当时萨科奇正和他的家人在温尼珀索基湖上划船。

德维特和美联社的一位摄影记者于当日下午1点乘船靠近萨科奇到访的度假别墅。

德维特说:“我们可以看到码头上的一些情况。当时总统先生与他的夫人和孩子上了一艘游船。”

就在这时,他看见萨科奇用手指着他们。德维特说:“我能看出来,总统先生生气了。他让船长向我们这边驶来。”

“萨科奇总统跳上了我们的船。他非常激动,说了一堆法语。”

德维特说:“他用手指着我。”据他介绍,当时萨科奇甚至抓住了他的长镜头相机。

之后,一位黑头发的女士十分平静地用英语说:“总统先生让你们别拍照。”

萨科奇终于平静下来,又说了一遍不让拍照。

萨科奇于上周五抵达沃尔夫伯勒,并与家人在一个湖边别墅下榻。这是萨科奇于今年五月当选法国总统后首次夏季度假。

沃尔夫伯勒是美国新罕布什尔州温尼珀索基湖边一个安静的小镇,共有约6000个居民。据说,它是美国最古老的夏日度假胜地。
