Berlusconi ’appreciates’ pretty girls 貝魯斯孔尼「欣賞」美女

 ◎羅彥傑
Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi lived up to his "playboy" reputation on Monday, saying men from Latin countries can "appreciate pretty girls" and asking foreign ambassadors to bring some over.
義大利總理貝魯斯孔尼週一讓他的「花花公子」名聲名實相副，聲稱拉丁國家的男人們懂得「欣賞美女」，並要求外國大使們帶一些過來。
"Bring some good-looking girls over some time. We would appreciate them because we are Latins," the 73-year-old told a gathering of ambassadors and business leaders from nearly 30 Mediterranean countries in Milan.
「找個時候帶一些正妹過來。我們因為是拉丁民族，懂得欣賞她們，」這位73歲歐吉桑在米蘭向近30個地中海國家的大使與企業界領袖們表示。
"But not playboys, as in my case, I’ve become a ’play-old’," he added with a grin.
「但這不是花花公子，正如同我的個案，我已成為『花心老頭』，」他咧嘴而笑地補充說。
Last year, Berlusconi’s wife filed for divorce over revelations that the media tycoon attended the 18th birthday party of an aspiring model who called him "Daddy".
去年，貝魯斯孔尼妻子訴請離婚，因為有人爆料，這位媒體大亨參加一名叫他「爹地」、想出名的女模18歲生日趴。
Berlusconi was also forced to deny paying for sex after a call-girl disclosed publicly she had spent the night with him, recorded conversations with him and filmed his bedroom with her cellphone.
在一名應召女郎公開揭露她和他過夜，錄下與他的對話並用手機拍下他的臥室後，貝魯斯孔尼也被迫否認花錢召妓。
