前几天从amazon买来一本800页的日记:The Alastair CampbellDiaries (Vol.1, Prelude to Power, 1994-1997)。老坎真能写,这本大书只是四卷之一(其余三卷未见)。原来以为能偷窥一点儿好玩儿的,似乎没有。我对政治家的“正事儿”不感兴趣,所以决定退货了。(感谢amazon,能在一个月内无条件或随便选一个理由退货。)
退货前偷看了那些大人物们“今天”的事儿(1996年):
A truly dreadful day. TB was useless, I was tired and useless and fed up….
TB就是十个月后搬家到唐宁街10号的Tony Blair。他们今天的情绪不高啊。
前一年也不好玩儿:
Bad start to the day because of the coverage on our Welsh MPs boycotting Welsh Questions yesterday because of William Hague’s appointment. TB was livid when I told him, saying people would think we just weren’t serious….
三行字出现几个陌生的词儿,读起来很费事儿的。从这儿隐约能看到一点英国政坛活动的场景。幸好,不管Welsh Questions还是Scottish Questions,我都不感兴趣,不必费工夫去刨根问底儿了。
