Obama returns to Jakarta

奥巴马的印尼情感之旅
奥巴马的印尼情感之旅

US President Barack Obama returned to Jakarta on a trip to Indonesia, Guardian reports. Obama, who spent four years living in the Indonesian capital, said it was "wonderful" to return to the city of his boyhood, even if it was unfamiliar. "I barely recognize it," he said of Jakarta's radical transformation from a developing city into a global metropolis. "When I first came here in 1967 everyone rode on becaks (cycle rickshaws), you stood in the back and it was very crowded," he said.

据英国《卫报》报道,美国总统奥巴马重游故地雅加达,开始他的印尼访问。他曾经在雅加达生活了4年,他称能够再次回到童年故地真是非常高兴,尽管原来对雅加达也不是很熟悉。“我几乎都认不出来了”,奥巴马表示,雅加达真是有着翻天覆地的变化,从一个发展中城市现在俨然成为一个国际大都市。“当我1967年第一次来到这里的时候,每个人都是骑着人力自行车,人们站在车后,非常的拥挤。”
