“冒牌贝克汉姆”现身美国 Bogus Beckham bends truth in LA calls An imposter pretending to be soccer superstar David Beckham made a dozencrank callsto county offices to chat about charity work and drop names of celebrity friends, officials said. County Public Information Officer Judy Hammond said the bogus Beckham also suggested bringing underprivileged kids to a practice session of the Los Angeles Galaxy, Beckham's new team. Clerk Maria Saenz and student worker Susana Guillen, avid fans of the real Beckham, "were just jumping up and down" after the first call. Officials realized the calls were a hoax after Department of Children and Family Services staffers grilled the caller. "It just smacked of bogusity," department spokeswoman Louise Grasmehr said. Representatives of Beckham confirmed he had not made the calls. The matter was being investigated to "see if it rises to the level of some kind of offense," sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore said. County Chief Executive William T. Fujioka said officials were never reallyduped. "We're notcountry bumpkins," he said. 双语资讯 (AP) 据有关官员介绍,近日,一个冒充足球巨星贝克汉姆的人给县政府办公室打了很多骚扰电话,他在电话中谈到与慈善工作有关的事,并提到一些明星朋友的名字。 |
