《中英對照讀新聞》Pullover power? Bolivia leader inspires wan 套頭毛衣發威？玻利維亞總統激勵了崇拜者
◎ 俞智敏
It may have been laughed at by fashionistas worldwide, but Evo Morales' now infamous striped sweater has become a must-have item for those eager to emulate Bolivia's president and his refusal to pander to Western dress protocol.
這件衣服或許遭到全球時尚迷訕笑，但玻利維亞總統莫拉萊斯這件惡名昭彰的橫條毛衣，已成為亟欲仿效他拒絕迎合西方服裝禮節作法的崇拜者必備道具。
Bolivian knitwear company Punto Blanco said it planned to manufacture 800 striped pullovers based on the model worn by Morales in his meetings with world leaders like Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero and Chinese President Hu Jintao.
玻國織品公司Punto Blanco表示，打算製造八百件橫條毛衣，這些毛衣都是以莫拉萊斯與西班牙總理札帕泰羅、中國國家主席胡錦濤等世界領袖會面時所穿著的毛衣為藍本。
Morales, Bolivia's first indigenous president, has eschewed donning the traditional western suit and tie for meetings, preferring to maintain his own informal style.
身為玻國第一位原住民總統的莫拉萊斯，在會議中避免穿著傳統的西裝和領帶，寧可維持他自己的非正式風格。
"His attributes are being a different person, being an indigenous person, being someone with a different reputation from a traditional politician in Bolivia," said social analyst Gonzalo Mendieta.
「他的特質原本就代表與眾不同，代表原住民，代表和玻利維亞傳統政治人物擁有完全不同名聲的人，」社會分析家Mendieta說。
Though European media went to town, mocking his informal wear, Mendieta sees no offense in Morales' decision to wear the clothes that he has always worn throughout his political career.
儘管歐洲媒體來到玻國後，多嘲笑莫拉萊斯的非正式穿著，但Mendieta認為，莫拉萊斯決定穿著他從政以來一直穿著的衣服並沒有錯。
