趣味閱讀：粉刷匠與首相的合影

Beaming for the camera with his arms wrapped around UK's Prime Minister, you might think the man with David Cameron was one of his friends.
一個人用手臂環繞着英國首相，對着照相機眉開眼笑。你可能會以爲他是大衛-卡梅倫的某位朋友。

In fact, Dean Wallis, a 33-year-old plasterer, had never met Cameron before, and had just asked for a photograph after spotting him dining in a restaurant.
事實上，33歲的粉刷工迪安-沃利斯以前從沒見過卡梅倫。他只是在餐廳認出卡梅倫後，便提出想與他合影留念。

Recalling the encounter, Wallis said, "He was wearing a polo shirt and was with five or six people. I approached him and said hello. He shook my hand and I asked if it was OK to have a photo with him. He said he was just having his dinner at the moment. I said, 'I'll leave you to it.' He was very polite about it."
回憶這次奇遇時，沃利斯說：“他身穿馬球衫，身邊有五六個隨行人員。我走上前去問好，他與我握了手。我詢問是否可以與他合影，他說自己正在用餐。我說：‘我聽候您的安排。’他很有禮貌。”

Wallis thought his chance had passed but later he was called over to see Cameron, who said, "Sorry about earlier. Would you and your girlfriend like to take a picture?" Therefore, the three of them took a picture then.
沃利斯原以爲機會泡湯了，不料後來卡梅倫卻請他過去，並且說：“我對之前發生的事很抱歉。你和你的女朋友還想和我拍照嗎？”所以，他們三個人隨後拍了一張合影照。

"He was sitting down and it was difficult to get to his height so I ended up leaning over and putting my arms around him," said Wallis while recalling.
“他是坐着的，要和他在同一高度很困難，所以最後我就俯下身子，用手臂環繞着他。”沃利斯回憶說。

Wallis was so proud of the result. He has a copy in his living room and his mother has another in a silver frame.
這次合影讓沃利斯非常驕傲。他洗了一張照片掛在自家的客廳裏，他的母親也擁有一張，並加裱了銀色邊框。
