This pint-sized politician may not speak softly but he sure does carry a big stick. Mayor Robert Tufts is calling the shots in Dorset, Minn., a small community near Park Rapids. 这位小小政治家可能不会温柔地跟镇上的居民沟通，但他还是会拄个大拐杖在镇上巡视。小镇长罗伯特·塔夫斯目前管理着明尼苏达州的小镇多西特，该镇位于帕克拉皮兹附近。 The four-year-old might not have the academic credentials for the job (he hasn’t passed kindergarten). But residents say he’s got the chops--and the mouth--to run the town. 4岁的小镇长可能没有不满足这项工作的学历资历要求（因为他幼儿园还没毕业），不过镇上的居民们都说他管理小镇来还真有两把刷子。 “He’s amazing. He’s just completely amazing,” said Kathy Schmidt, whose family has lived in the area for four generations. “He’s right in your face and well-spoken. You can’t imagine what a ball of fire he is.” The mayor can sing and dance with the best of them, WCCO reports. 家族四代人都住在小镇上的凯西·施密特表示：“他很棒，真的非常棒。他站在你面前，说话头头是道。你可能想不到，但他真的是个才智过人精力充沛的孩子。” 根据WCCO网站的报道， 塔夫斯才艺多多，能唱会跳。 He guides his citizens safely across the street, big stick in hand. He’s also an expert fisherman and knows how to dole out advice about the best bait to use. |
