When Bernardo de Bernardinis was asked whether tremors in the Italian city of L’Aquila foreshadowed a major earthquake, his reassuring message to the public was not so much black-and-white as red-or-white. There was no need for evacuation, the civil protection officer assured the press: fretful citizens should go home and sip a glass of wine. His preferred vintage? “Absolutely, absolutely a Montepulciano D.O.C.”
當(dāng)貝爾納多?德貝爾納迪尼斯(Bernardo de Bernardinis)被問及發(fā)生在意大利城市拉奎拉(L'Aquila)的多場(chǎng)輕微地震是否預(yù)示著一場(chǎng)大地震時(shí),他的回答雖然不能算特別輕描淡寫,但也頗為隨意。這位民防部門官員讓媒體放心,說:市民如果感到焦慮,就應(yīng)該回家喝一杯葡萄酒。(他的首選佳釀?)“一定、絕對(duì)是蒙特普齊亞諾法定產(chǎn)區(qū)酒(Montepulciano D.O.C.)。”
