进门时,一个高大魁梧的侍卫官说:"I should tell you one thing, Mr. Blair, you don't actually kiss the Queen's hand in ceremony of kissing hands. You brush them gently with your lips."
他当时简直就给搞蒙了。
“I confess that floored me, What on earth did he mean? Brush them as a pair of shoes, or touch them lightly? "
正在此时,门开了,可怜的汤尼进去的时候,被脚下的地毯绊了一下。
“I practically fell upon on the Queen's hands."
失礼啦!
当他回复常态后,女王和他讲了一句话:“You are my tenth prime minister. The first was Winston. That was before you were born."
