奧巴馬伕人將率美代表團赴倫敦奧運
First Lady Michelle Obama has been appointed to lead the US delegation to the London Olympics this summer.
今夏美國第一夫人米歇爾-奧巴馬將親率美國奧運會代表團前往倫敦參加2012年奧運會。
Mrs Obama will follow in the steps of her predecessors Hillary Clinton and Laura Bush, who headed the American delegations to the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, Norway and the 2006 Winter Olympics in Torino, Italy respectively.
前任美國第一夫人希拉里-克林頓和勞拉-布什也曾率隊參加奧運會。希拉里曾率隊參加1994年挪威利勒哈默爾舉辦的冬季奧運會，而勞拉曾率隊參加2006年意大利都靈冬奧會。
The announcement comes during a three-day visit to the United States made by Prime Minister David Cameron and his wife Samantha Cameron, in which Mr Obama and Mr Cameron intend to focus on foreign policy issues.
在英國首相大衛-卡梅倫攜夫人薩曼莎-卡梅倫對美國進行三天的訪問期間，美國方面宣佈了這一消息。奧巴馬和卡梅倫在此次訪問期間將專注於討論外交議題。
The Prime Minister will also go to a basketball game in Ohio with Mr Obama, and fly aboard the presidential plane, Air Force One.
卡梅倫還將搭乘美國總統專機“空軍一號”，和奧巴馬一同前往俄亥俄州觀看籃球賽。
Mrs Cameron will attend a mini-Olympic competition hosted by the First Lady as part of her Let's Move! initiative, aimed at encouraging fitness and a healthy diet to combat obesity, where children in the Washington D.C. area will participate in physical activities.
卡梅倫夫人將參加米歇爾組織的一場迷你奧運會比賽，這也是她發起的“一起來運動”活動的一部分。這項活動旨在鼓勵通過運動和健康飲食來抵禦肥胖，華盛頓地區的少年兒童將參加這些體育活動。
Mrs Obama said of her campaign to fight causes of obesity that it "isn't just a policy issue for me. This is a passion. This is my mission."
在談到發起的抗擊肥胖的活動時，米歇爾表示，這“對我來說並不僅僅是政策問題。我投入了巨大的熱情，這是我的使命。”
Despite statements during the visit that the UK and USA possess a "special relationship," a phrase made famous by Winston Churchill in a speech given at Westminster College in Missouri in 1946, Mr Obama hasn't always been so keen to push transatlantic ties.
1946年，英國前首相溫斯頓-丘吉爾訪美期間，在密蘇里威斯敏斯特學院所做的演講中提到英美之間存在“特殊關係”，隨後這一指稱英美關係的詞彙迅速流傳開來。但奧巴馬對推進英美關係沒有這麼積極。
During his very first month in office he removed a bust of Mr Churchill from the Oval Office and formally returned it to the British government, snubbing the gift originally lent to President George W Bush in the wake of the September 11 attacks.
他入主白宮後的首月，就將丘吉爾的半身像請出了總統辦公室，並正式歸還給英國政府。這尊雕像是9-11事件發生後小布什總統從英國租借而來，但奧巴馬上任後對它的態度十分冷淡。
