Brown can't go casual

布朗穿西装度假遭嘲笑

Gordon Brown, 59, has been keeping a low profile since standing down as UK Prime Minister in May. But he is still struggling to shake off the formal style which characterised his time in office, UK media reported Sunday. Taking to the waters of a Scottish loch with his 2 sons Saturday, he again failed to master the casual look. Mr Brown wore a sombre navy suit and shirt under his life jacket as he went for a dinghy ride with the boys (see photo). The Daily Mail of London said, "For goodness sake, Sarah, please take Gordon out and get him some weekend casual gear."

据英国媒体8月1日报道，59岁的布朗今年5月卸任英国首相以后，行事一直相当低调。然而，他似乎仍摆脱不了当年在任时西装革履的正统形象。7月31日，布朗携二子在苏格兰一小湖乘橡皮艇度假时，还是"休闲"不起来，灰暗的西装、衬衫外面套着救生衣(见图)，《每日邮报》因此直呼:"看在上帝的份上，莎拉(布朗妻子)，快把布朗拉走，给他穿点休闲装吧！"
