I was sitting in Heathrow Terminal 2 last Wednesday, having arrived a couple of hours early for a short flight to Dublin. I had installed myself in Eat, where I was enjoying a bowl of porridge and doing my emails, when I came upon a link to the latest ad for the Clinton campaign. 上个月，我坐在希思罗机场(Heathrow) 2号航站楼，早到了两小时，准备搭乘短途航班到都柏林。我走进Eat餐厅，点了一碗粥，顺便收发邮件，这时我看到有一个链接指向希拉里竞选活动的最新广告。 Normally I would have ignored it: the US election has become so ugly that the only rational response is to pretend it isn’t happening. But as I had time to kill I clicked on the link and there was Barack Obama, his handsome face alert and amused, speaking to camera. “My greatest strength? Probably that I’m always early.” 我通常不会去理睬这种东西：今年的美国大选变得非常丑陋，唯一理性的回应是假装它没发生。但由于我在消磨时间，我点开了那个链接，出现的是巴拉克.奥巴马(Barack Obama)那张英俊的脸，机智且有趣，他对着镜头说：“我的最大优点？或许是我总是早到。” |
