白金汉宫烟灰缸 [偷拿厕纸、烟灰缸?这些年从白金汉宫“顺手牵羊”的名人可真不少]

奥利维亚·科尔曼

The Oscar-winning actress told the Sunday Times that her husband had swiped a toilet roll when the couple were attending a charity event.

这位奥斯卡影星告诉《星期日泰晤士报》,她丈夫在他们参加慈善活动时偷了一卷厕纸。

"My husband stole some loo roll just to say we got it from Buckingham Palace," she said.

她说:“我丈夫从白金汉宫偷了一些厕纸。”

It"s not quite clear how complicit Colman herself was in the crime - we may need to put Broadchurch"s finest detective Ellie Miller on the case to learn the full truth.

目前还不清楚科尔曼自己在这起案件中的涉案程度——我们可能需要让《小镇疑云》中最好的侦探埃莉·米勒来了解全部真相。

complicit [kəmˈplɪsɪt]:adj.有同谋关系的,串通一气的

 

白金汉宫回应

A former press spokesman for the Queen, Dickie Arbiter says honest visitors to Buckingham Palace who leave without stealing a souvenir are not missing out.

英国女王的前新闻发言人迪基·阿比特表示,没有偷纪念品就离开白金汉宫的诚实游客并没有错过什么。

"It"s quite ridiculous. The toilet paper doesn"t have "Buckingham Palace" on it, it"s just plain white paper like everyone else has," he says.

“这很荒谬。厕纸上并没有‘白金汉宫’的字样,它只是普通的白色厕纸,和其他人家里的一样。”

And he questions whether an ashtray could have been taken from the palace in 1998, saying that it had been a non-smoking zone since well before Denise Van Outen"s confession.

同时,他也质疑1998年是否真的有人从白金汉宫偷走了烟灰缸,他表示,早在丹尼斯·范·奥登认罪很久之前,白金汉宫就已经禁烟了。

There are very few opportunities for souvenir hunters, he says. Cutlery is not embossed with a palace design and visitors to the palace are usually given napkins with their canapes rather than plates.

他说,意图顺走纪念品的人没什么机会。餐具并没有浮雕宫殿的设计,到白金汉宫的游客通常会得到餐巾纸用来放小吃,而不是盘子。

But he suggests celebrity thieves are more in search of publicity than mementos.

但他认为,名人偷盗更多的是为了博眼球,而不是为了纪念品。

memento [məˈmentəʊ]:n.纪念品

 

"It"s not that they"re taking anything of value. It"s just so they can say, I"ve stolen a loo roll from Buckingham Palace," he said.

“并不是他们拿走了任何有价值的东西。他们只是认为这样就可以说,我从白金汉宫偷了一卷厕纸。”

"Go to Poundland and buy yourself a pack of nine."

“去一镑店,给自己买一包9个装的厕纸吧。”
