Although it’s endured a fire, structural damage, and major renovations, the White House has—more or less—stood in the same spot at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue since John Adams became the first occupant in 1800. Take a look at seven things that were once prohibited from entering. 尽管白宫承受过火灾和结构破坏，还经历过重大翻修，但是自约翰·亚当斯在1800年成为白宫的第一任主人之后，白宫差不多一直矗立在相同的位置上，也就是宾夕法尼亚大街1600号。来看一下白宫曾禁止的7件事。 1. BROCCOLI 1、西兰花 With less than two years in office, President George H.W. Bush made a startling proclamation in the spring of 1990: Broccoli would no longer be seen in the White House or on Air Force One. “I do not like broccoli,” he told reporters. “My mother made me eat it. I’m President of the United States, and I’m not going to eat any more broccoli!” 乔治·赫伯特·沃克·布什接管白宫还不到两年，他就在1990年春季发布了一项令人吃惊的公告：白宫或空军一号不会再有西兰花了。“我不喜欢西兰花，”他告诉记者。“我妈妈让我吃西兰花。我是美国总统，我不要再吃西兰花了!”(有权就是任性啊!) 2. CHRISTMAS TREES 2、圣诞树 The Scrooge of the lot was Teddy Roosevelt, who banned anyone from placing a freshly-cut tree inside. But Roosevelt’s son, Archie, didn’t share his ecological principles: He dragged in a small tree and hid it, fully decorated, in a closet. |
