奧巴馬澳洲被'杯具'(圖)

Australia's parliamentary gift shop has withdrawn commemorative mugs that misspelled US President Barack Obama's name Monday, AP reported Tuesday. The shop in Canberra put 200 "Barrack" Obama mugs (see photo) on sale ahead of his scheduled visit to the country. They sold two before they realized their mistake and took them off the shelves. "Barrack" could mean booing somebody in English. The error was said to have been made by an official who ordered the mugs from a manufacturer.

據美聯社8日報道，澳大利亞國會大廈紀念品商店7日召回一種美國總統奧巴馬紀念杯，原因是杯子上奧巴馬的名字被拼錯了(見圖)。這家商店位于堪培拉，在奧巴馬訪問澳大利亞前夕，上架了200個奧巴馬紀念杯。在他們意識到名字拼錯之前，已售出兩個杯子。"Barrack"在英語中有喝倒彩的意思。據悉，這是從制造商處訂購杯子的官員犯下的錯誤。
