Pesky spring guest buzzes Obama’s Easter egg roll 討厭的春天訪客打亂歐巴馬的復活節滾彩蛋活動
A flying, buzzing harbinger of spring briefly upstaged President Barack Obama at the annual White House Easter egg roll.
在白宮一年一度的復活節滾彩蛋活動上，一隻會飛的、嗡嗡叫的春天預告者，瞬間搶走美國總統歐巴馬的風采。
Squeals and shrieks from a clump of agitated children interrupted Obama’s reading of his childhood favorite, Maurice Sendak’s "Where the Wild Things Are".
來自一群激動小朋友的尖叫聲此起彼落，打斷了歐巴馬朗讀他童年最愛的讀物——莫里士．桑塔克的《野獸冒險樂園》。
Obama looked up to see what the trouble was.
歐巴馬抬頭看發生了什麼事。
"Oh no, it’s a bee!" he said, laughing, then quickly tried to reassure the kids. "That’s OK guys, bees are good. They won’t land on you. They won’t sting you."
「噢不，是一隻蜜蜂。」他說，大笑，然後立即試圖安撫孩子們。「那沒關係啦，孩子們，蜜蜂是好的。牠們不會停在你身上。牠們不會叮你。」
In fact, helping honeybees and other beleaguered pollinators survive is a goal of Obama’s administration. Elsewhere at the event, children were given seeds to encourage them to plant bee-friendly habitats.
事實上，幫助蜜蜂和其他受苦的授粉昆蟲生存，是歐巴馬政府的目標。在這項活動的其他區域，孩子們被贈予植物種子，以鼓勵他們栽種出適合蜜蜂生存的棲息地。
But the kids ducking and dodging in their hay-bale seats had no interest in being part of this bee’s habitat. "Scary!" one of them shouted.
不過，孩子們在其乾草堆綑成的座位上東躲西閃，對於參與培育蜜蜂棲息地的計畫毫無興趣。「好恐怖！」其中一名孩子大叫。
