Norway's Prime Minister Pretends to be Taxi Driver

挪威總理假扮計程車司機聽民意

 

Norway's prime minister says the best place to find out what people are thinking is in a taxi. So Jens Stoltenberg disguised himself as a taxi driver one day and transported passengers around Oslo.

挪威總理說知道民意最好的地方就在計程車中. 所以 Jens Stoltenberg 某天就假扮成一個司機來載運奧斯陸的乘客.

Footage from the prime-minister-as-taxi-driver scheme in June was posted Sunday on a daily newspaper's web site and the prime minister's Facebook page.
這段總理在六月時假扮成計程車司機的影片稍後在星期日時在某日報網站跟總理的臉書上發佈.

The stunt, planned by an advertising agency as part of Stoltenberg's re-election campaign, was taped with hidden cameras to catch Norwegians' views on politics and their reactions when they realized their driver was their prime minister.

這個花招是由Stoltenberg的競選雇問公司出的主意, 還設了個隱藏攝影機來拍下當這些民眾發表對政治的意見之後才發覺開車的人是總理時的臉部表情.

 

The hidden cameras also caught a confession from the prime minister - he has not driven a car in eight years. One passenger was not impressed with Stoltenberg's driving skills, saying "this driving is not exactly the best I have seen."

這隱藏攝影機同時也補捉到總理的告解自白 - 他八年多沒開過車了. 有個乘客不滿意 Stoltenberg 的開車技巧並說 " 我覺得你剛剛的開車技巧不太好哦 ".

Stoltenberg's Labour party is trailing in the polls against the opposition Conservatives for the September election.

Stoltenberg所領導的工黨將在九月的大選中對上反對黨, 保守黨.
