British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak faced criticism last Saturday for seeming out of touch with ordinary people when he asked a homeless man at a charity whether he "worked in business" and wanted to get into the finance industry.

综合路透社、英国《卫报》等媒体24日报道,此事发生在上周五,当时,苏纳克走访了这家流浪者收容所,在餐厅为前来领取救济餐的人供应早餐。期间,他与一名叫迪恩的无家可归者交谈了起来。

值得注意的是,路透社在报道中还特别提到,苏纳克此前是高盛银行家,也是英国最富有的人之一。

Sunak, a former Goldman Sachs banker and one of Britain's wealthiest people, was serving breakfast at a homeless shelter in London last Friday, when he began chatting with a man who identified himself as Dean.

在短暂的介绍过后,来领救济餐的迪恩问苏纳克:“您正在解决经济问题吗?” 苏纳克回答说:“没错,那正是我正在做的事情。”

After a brief introduction, Dean asked the prime minister: "Are you sorting the economy out?” Sunak replied: "That is exactly what I am trying to do."

在迪恩表示,解决经济问题“对做生意有好处(good for business)”后,苏纳克接着问道:“你是做生意的吗?”

After Dean said that sorting the economy would be good for business, Sunak then asked: "Do you work in business?"

迪恩回答说:“不是。我无家可归,我是一个无家可归的人,但我对商业感兴趣。”

Dean replied: "No, I'm homeless. I am actually a homeless person. But I am interested in business."

然而,苏纳克忽略了迪恩“无家可归”的现状,又进一步询问:“是什么样的商业工作?”

Sunak responded: "Yeah? What kind of business?"

迪恩说:“我喜欢金融,这对这座城市发展有好处,并且金融发展好了,我们大家也都会好。”

Dean added: "I like finance, it's good for the city and when finance and stuff is doing well, we all do well, don't we, in London."

报道称,听完迪恩的话,苏纳克称“我以前就在金融行业工作(I used to work in finance)”, 还大谈如何“在英国各地”都能找到金融领域的工作。之后,他问无家可归的迪恩:“你是想要进入金融界吗?”

Sunak then proceeded to tell Dean how he "used to work in finance" and how jobs in finance can now be found "around the UK". Then he asked: Is that something youd like to get into?

对此,迪恩回答说:“我不介意,但我不知道,我想先过完圣诞节。”

“Yeah I wouldn’t mind. But, I don’t know, I’d like to get through Christmas first,” the homeless man said.

听完迪恩的想法,苏纳克又询问对方“周末有何安排”,迪恩坦言,他只希望有慈善机构能帮他找个临时住所,“这样我就不用露宿街头了(so I’m not on the street)”。

Sunak asked: “What’s your plan, what are you doing this weekend?” Dean replied that he was hoping the homeless charity St Mungo’s could help him get into temporary accommodation “so I’m not on the street”.

据英国《卫报》、《独立报》等媒体报道,这段视频发布后,苏纳克的言论立即遭到一些英国议员的批评。

英国工党副领袖安吉拉·雷纳在推特转发了该视频并评论称,苏纳克和迪恩的这段对话“很折磨人”。

 

另一位工党议员比尔·艾斯特森则认为苏纳克的此番言论“脱离现实”。

Labour’s deputy leader, Angela Rayner, described the exchange as “excruciating”. Another Labour lawmaker, Bill Esterson, called Sunak "out of touch".

工党的丽莎·南迪则表示,“我们这位首相还能有多脱离现实?保守党让英国经济陷入崩溃后,今年,抵押贷款和租金飙升,这个冬天,无家可归者的数量也在不断上涨,也许苏纳克应该努力解决这些问题,而不是去摆拍一些令人痛苦的照片。”

Labour's Lisa Nandy said: How much more out of touch could this Prime Minister be? After the Tories crashed the economy, sending mortgages and rents soaring, homelessness is on the rise this winter. So perhaps Rishi Sunak should focus on fixing this crisis rather than posing for excruciating photo opportunities.

此外,视频也在国外社交媒体疯传,苏纳克遭到许多英国和其他国家的网友炮轰。↓

“他是如此脱离现实,真的很可怕。”

 

“‘我无家可归’,‘哦很好,那你想跟我一样在金融机构工作吗?’……简直是个残忍的笑话。”

 

“英国最富有、最有权势的人之一和英国最贫穷、最无权无势的人对话,这画面真残忍。”

 

有网友认为,苏纳克问了那么多,却没有给这名流浪汉提供任何真正的帮助:

“我不认为问‘你做生意吗?’是问题所在。真正的问题是:这位先生没有地方睡觉,也没有家人一起过圣诞节,但首相完全无视了这点,没有给他提供任何帮助……”
