British Prime Minister Gordon Brown's wife Sarah says she was "bemused" by a sketch of her on French First Lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy's new website. Critics say the line drawing, along with sketches of figures including Nelson Mandela and US President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle, is unflattering. Others say it simply doesn't look much like her. "Love Carla Bruni-Sarkozy's new website though bit bemused by illustration of me," Brown said in a Twitter posting about the website of the model-singer who married President Nicolas Sarkozy last year. In a later posting -- which officials insist was responding to fellow Twitter users rather than advice from her husband or his office -- Brown adds: "Bemused in a good way -- I think it is really cool." Most of the gallery of pictures -- which also features musicians including Bob Dylan, Bono and Bob Geldof -- are believed to have been drawn by French artist Alice Dechelette. The Daily Telegraph newspaper said the drawing of Sarah Brown "bears scant resemblance to her". "She seems to have lost most of her eyebrows and to be in urgent need of visits to a dentist and a hairdresser," it added. On the site, which crashed on its launch Monday after being overwhelmed by visitors, 41-year-old Bruni-Sarkozy admits she sometimes feels locked in a beauty contest with Michelle Obama and other leading ladies. The website aims to publicise Bruni's charity work as well as giving the world a glimpse of her life in the Elysee Palace with Sarkozy. 點擊查看更多雙語新聞

英國首相戈登?布朗的妻子莎拉的素描畫像日前出現在法國第一夫人卡拉?布呂尼-薩科奇新推出的官方網站上。莎拉稱自己看到這張畫像后感到有些“茫然”。 一些批評人士稱這張素描把莎拉給畫丑了，其他人則認為這張畫像不太像莎拉。其他一些名人政要的畫像也出現在該網站上，其中包括（南非前總統）尼爾森?曼德拉、美國總統奧巴馬及其夫人米歇爾等。 布朗夫人在微型博客Twitter上留言說：“我喜歡卡拉?布呂尼-薩科奇的新網站，不過看到自己的畫像時有點茫然。”卡拉?布呂尼-薩科奇曾是一名模特兼歌手，她于去年與法國總統尼古拉?薩科奇完婚。 之后，布朗夫人又留言稱：“我說的茫然，是好的意思，我覺得這張畫像真的很酷。”官方堅稱這條留言是對“推友”的回復，而非來自其丈夫或首相辦公室的建議。 據悉，網站上的大部分肖像畫由法國藝術家愛麗絲?德謝萊特所作，其中還包括音樂家鮑勃?迪倫、波諾和鮑勃?格爾多夫的畫像。 《每日電訊報》稱，莎拉?布朗的肖像畫“和她本人不怎么像”。 該報稱，“在這張素描畫像上，她的大部分眉毛似乎都沒了，而且看起來急需整牙和打理頭發。” 41歲的布呂尼-薩科奇在網站上坦稱她有時覺得自己總在與米歇爾?奧巴馬以及其他國家的第一夫人進行選美競賽。該網站于本周一推出后因訪問者過多而癱瘓。 該網站推出的目的是為了宣傳布呂尼的慈善活動，并且能讓全世界的人們有機會一窺她和薩科奇在愛麗舍宮的生活。 相關閱讀 （英語點津陳丹妮 姍姍編輯） |
