布什是否是高？

在星期五为某人一样易于失态象美国乔治· W布什总统，他是以罕见的形式，混淆Apec与石油输出国组织和变换澳大利亚军队成奥地利人。 布什总统的舌头起动几乎滑倒，当他在悉尼开始谈在企业论坛在一个亚太经济合作(Apec)山顶的前夕。

“总理先生，谢谢您的介绍”，他告诉了总理约翰·霍华德。 “谢谢是这样一个美好的主人为石油输出国组织山顶”。

As the audience of several hundred people erupted in laughter , Mr Bush corrected himself and joked, “He invited me to the Opec summit next year.”Australia has never been a member of the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries. Later in his speech, Mr Bush recounted how Mr Howard had gone to visit “Austrian troops” last year in Iraq. There are, in fact, no Austrian troops there. But Australia has about 1,500 military personnel in and around the country.

Upon finishing his speech, the US president took the wrong way off-stage and, looking perplexed, had to be re-directed by Mr Howard to a centre-stage exit. But not before a veteran White House correspondent seized the opportunity to ask Mr Bush whether there had been any new message in his speech. Apparently misunderstanding the question, he bristled and asked, “Haven’t you been listening to my past speeches?” before turning away.

Mr Bush is no stranger to the occasional faux pas, and often jokes about his habit of mangling the English language. One of his gaffes came in May when, at a welcoming ceremony for Queen Elizabeth II, he nearly placed her in the 18th century.
