布什总统的父亲节!
Bush has a rainy Father's Day

President Bush waves with his daughter Jenna Bush as they walk to Air Force One in Waco, Texas Sunday, June 17, 2007.

President Bush unwrapped Father's Days gifts Sunday at his Texas ranch where the skies let go a deluge of rain that turned roadside gullies into muddy ponds.

From first lady Laura Bush, the president received several ties she purchased during their recent trip to Europe, White House spokesman Scott Stanzel said. Bush's twin daughters, gave him a CD they had made for him to listen to while exercising.

Bush spent the day with Mrs. Bush and their daughter, Jenna. Their other daughter, Barbara, was not at the ranch over the weekend. The president also spoke to his father, former President George H.W. Bush, over the phone.

In between showers on Saturday, Bush squeezed in a bike ride at his ranch. But Sunday brought a downpour so heavy that high water covered the road leading into Crawford. The local fire department blocked the road with fire trucks and turned back motorists.

Bush flew back to Washington aboard Air Force One later in the day.

On Monday, Bush is scheduled to attend a Republican National Committee luncheon in Washington, sign a bill and meet with NCAA championship teams on the South Lawn. On Tuesday, he meets with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert.

 

上周日,布什总统在德克萨斯农场的家中打开了他收到的父亲节礼物。当时那里下着倾盆大雨,路边的水沟都变成了泥塘。

白宫发言人斯科特·史坦泽说,第一夫人劳拉送给布什的礼物是他们最近出访欧洲时买的几条领带。布什的两个双胞胎女儿送的是她们亲手录制的一盘CD,供他在锻炼的时候听。

布什与夫人及女儿詹娜一起度过了父亲节这一天,另一个女儿芭芭拉上周末不在农场。布什还与他的父亲--前总统乔治·H·W·布什--通了电话。

周六,布什趁雨停的间歇在农场骑了会儿自行车。但是周日的雨特别大,雨水淹没了通往克劳福德镇的路。当地消防局用消防车把路挡住,让过往的车辆掉头返回。

布什当天晚些时候乘坐“空军一号”返回了华盛顿。

周一,布什将按计划出席共和党全国委员会在华盛顿的午宴、签署一项法案,并将在白宫南草坪接见全美大学生联赛球队。周二,他将会见以色列总理埃胡德·奥尔默特。
