國家領袖們的綽號 你知道多少
Dictators, autocrats and other strong-willed leaders — elected or not — have a way of acquiring nicknames or grandiose official titles. Some even proclaim their own.
專制君主、獨裁者以及其他堅持己見的領袖——不論是不是被選舉出來的——常常都有綽號或者浮誇的頭銜。有些綽號或頭銜甚至是他們自封的。
The latest example is Rodrigo Duterte, presumptive president-elect of the Philippines, known for stop-at-nothing political hardball and a vigilante vow to shoot criminals himself. Admirers and critics call him the Punisher and Duterte Harry.
最近期的一個例子是在菲律賓總統大選中遙遙領先的羅德里戈·杜特地(Rodrigo Duterte),他以不可阻擋的強硬政治作風和將會親自射殺犯罪分子的熱血誓言聞名。崇拜者和評論人士稱其爲懲罰者(Punisher)和硬漢杜特地(Duterte Harry)。
