PM Cameron saw there are similarities between basketball and football, which is how the players keep the opponent or trying to score points before the break. However, he admitted a little confused by too frequent violations that result in free throws.
卡梅伦首相发现了足球和篮球之间的一些相似之处,那就是在中场休息之前场上的人都很敌对并努力得分。然而,他承认对频繁犯规罚球感到一丝费解。
“That was fast … sometimes hard to follow exactly who committed the offense,” Cameron told Tru TV network, in an interview with Obama at halftime.Obama responded with a joke. He said he’d ask Cameron to teach him to play cricket, the sport typically English.
“太快了,有时候很难一直跟在后面去看谁犯规了,”中场休息时,卡梅伦在和奥巴马一起接受电视网站时表示。作为回应,奥巴马讲了个笑话,他说他已经让卡梅伦教他玩曲棍球,非常英式的体育项目。

“Sometimes, when we receive foreign guests, they only visited the coastal areas … they been to New York to Washington, to Los Angeles, but Ohio is the most important,” said Obama.
“有时当我们有外国友人到访,他们只是去一些沿海的地区,从纽约到华盛顿到洛杉矶,但俄州也是很重要的,"奥巴马说。
Some have cast a cynical comment about Obama invited Cameron to Ohio.They suspect a visit to Ohio was not just to entertain guests of the state, but to get media coverage in Ohio, a key state in the U.S. presidential election. As we know, Obama is running for re-election this year on.
有些人对奥巴马邀请卡梅伦到俄州这一举动提出了批评。他们怀疑到访俄州不仅仅是为了取悦外国来宾,而是增加媒体在总统选举中对美国这一重要地域俄州的关注度。奥巴马今年会再次参加总统大选。
Cameron also used the interview opportunity to promote the London Olympics which will begin in late July. “We are very excited welcome. We will roll out the carpet for all citizens of the world. Everything is (done) on time, within budget, and all stadiums have been built, we’re ready,” said Cameron.

奥巴马对卡梅伦的盛情款待有别于前英国首相。前英国首相布朗从未收到如此款待。但此前有报道称布朗在纽约饭店的厨房游说奥巴马。
