奥巴马在Gap服装店为妻子女儿买衣服 President Barack Obama took on a daunting task on Tuesday: shopping for clothes for his wife and daughters during a brief stop at a Gap store in New York before attending two Democratic Party fundraisers in the city. 3月12日，奥巴马总统接受了一项十分具有挑战性的任务，那就是在进行两次民主党资金筹集之前，在纽约的Gap服装店小停一站，为妻子和女儿们买衣服。 ? At the store, he sorted carefully through sweaters in search of a purchase for one of his two daughters, Sasha and Malia, before holding up a pink one. ? Im worried the V-neck is going to slip, the president said before opting for a regular-cut neck. ? The president wound up（紧张的） buying two button-down（领尖有纽扣的）, long-sleeve sweaters: one in light pink and the other a bright coral, both smalls. The cotton-blend items were made in China and cost $44.95 each. ? Moving to the adult womens section, Obama declared wife Michelle difficult to shop for: Maybe I should buy some socks. ? Part-time salesclerk Susan Panariello recommended a hoodie（连帽衫） for the First Lady, but the president said she doesnt like them. ? He instead chose a slate-blue, medium athletic zip-up track jacket for Michelle, who has made no bones about her love for Gaps styles, once wearing a $10 t-shirt to a lunch with former First Lady Nancy Reagan. ? The polyester-blend jacket, made in Vietnam, put him back $64.95. It never hurts to bring something back when youve been on a road trip. You get points when you go home, Obama quipped after buying a warm-up jacket for wife Michelle and two long-sleeve sweaters for daughters Malia, 15, and Sasha, 12. ? I think the ladies will be impressed by my style sense. ? He joked while sifting through the garments among roughly 20 shocked customers.
