目前為止，英國(guó)首相大衛(wèi)·卡梅倫 回答過(guò)最杰出的新聞工作者的提問(wèn)，包括最厲害的前BBC記者杰瑞米·帕克斯曼在總統(tǒng)大選上的提問(wèn)。

But it took a question from a Year 7 called Reema, who is from Salford, Greater Manchester, on the BBC’s children’s television programme Newsround to leave the Prime Minister unable to find answer.
但在BBC兒童電視節(jié)目Newsround上，大曼切斯特郡索爾福德市的7年級(jí)學(xué)生瑞瑪?shù)囊粋€(gè)問(wèn)題卻難倒了首相大人。

The question was: “If you could pick one politician apart from yourself to win who would it be and why?”
問(wèn)題是：如果讓你選一位除你自己以外的政治家當(dāng)選首相，你會(huì)選誰(shuí)？為什么？

Mr Cameron, shifting uncomfortably, answered: “Wow. If I could pick politician? Would they have to be living or dead?”
卡梅倫先生不安地挪動(dòng)了一下身體，回答道：“哇，要我選一位政治家？活著的還是死去的？”

He continued: “If I thought someone else should win the election I would not be standing myself, so I can’t really answer the question about who else I would like to win.
他又繼續(xù)說(shuō)道：“如果我認(rèn)為有別的什么人應(yīng)該當(dāng)選，那么如今當(dāng)首相的就不會(huì)是我了，所以我無(wú)法真正回答這個(gè)問(wèn)題。”

“There are lots of candidates around the country I am very enthusiastic about.
“全國(guó)有很多候選人我都很看好。”

“I am afraid it is too difficult to say I would like someone else to win other than me or I wouldn’t be here, and I am quite keen on winning.”
“恐怕很難說(shuō)我想讓除我之外的誰(shuí)當(dāng)選，否則今天我不會(huì)在這兒，因?yàn)槲沂挚释A得大選。”

As Mr Cameron got up to leave he said: “Top question – it is the best one I have been asked all election campaign.”
卡梅倫起身準(zhǔn)備離開時(shí)說(shuō)道：“很棒的提問(wèn)——這是我被問(wèn)過(guò)的關(guān)于大選的一個(gè)最難回答的問(wèn)題。”

The other children asked Mr Cameron questions on immigration and "what it is like to be Prime Minister" during the programme which was filmed in Bolton last Wednesday.
上周三在博爾頓錄制該節(jié)目時(shí)，其他孩子還問(wèn)了卡梅倫關(guān)于移民的問(wèn)題以及“做首相是什么感覺”等。
