卸任後的盡情釋放 奧巴馬度假玩風箏衝浪!
A number of people around the world are stressed out about what's going on in the White House - but former president Barack Obama doesn't look like he's one of them.
全世界很多人都在爲白宮正在發生的事而感到壓力山大，不過美國前總統奧巴馬卻似乎並不在意。A smiling Obama was enjoying being jobless as he rode the waves recently in the Virgin Islands with billionaire Richard Branson.
奧巴馬最近在維爾京羣島與維珍集團創始人、億萬富豪理查德·布蘭森一起玩衝浪，享受無官一身輕的生活，十分愉悅。Branson published a blog post with pictures and video of the ex-president kitesurfing off one of his private islands in the British Virgin Islands.
布蘭森於近日發博文貼出奧巴馬在他在英屬維爾京羣島上的一座私人島嶼上玩風箏衝浪的照片和視頻。
Obama, and his wife, Michelle, have spent time vacationing with the Virgin Group founder since leaving the White House on Jan 20.
自1月20日離任後，奧巴馬和妻子米歇爾便與布蘭森共度假日時光。Branson writes that Obama told him he was prevented from surfing by his security detail during his time in office, so he jumped at the chance to learn how to kitesurf.
布蘭森寫道，奧巴馬告訴他，在任期間安保人員不讓他衝浪，所以他抓住這次機會學習如何玩風箏衝浪。"It was a huge honour to be able to invite President Barack and Michelle Obama down to the British Virgin Islands for a complete break after Barack finished his second term as President and the family left the White House," Branson wrote.
布蘭森寫道：“在奧巴馬完成作爲總統的第二任期、全家離開白宮之後，我非常榮幸地邀請到他和米歇爾·奧巴馬來維爾京羣島徹底地放鬆一下。”The billionaire said he and the former leader challenged one another to see if Obama could learn to kitesurf before Branson learned how to foilboard.
這位億萬富翁表示，他和這位前總統互相發起了挑戰，看到底是奧巴馬先學會風箏衝浪，還是布蘭森先學會水翼板滑浪。"As you can see in the video, Barack and I both fell many times, but we kept trying again and again and made progress over the days," Branson wrote.
布蘭森寫道：“正如你們在視頻中看到的，奧巴馬和我都跌倒了很多次，但我們堅持一次又一次的嘗試，這些天取得了很大進步。”
