　　Former US president George W. Bush topped a poll of the worst examples of mangled English released Wednesday, followed closely by Arnold Schwarzenegger and Donald Rumsfeld.
　　本周三公布的一項“不知所云語錄”調查顯示，美國前總統喬治•W•布什名列該榜首位，緊隨其后的是阿諾德•施瓦辛格和（美國前國防部長）唐納德•拉姆斯菲爾德。

　　French footballer-cum-philospher Eric Cantona and former US president Bill Clinton also produced prime examples of gobbledegook, according to the online poll of 4,000 people inspired by the Plain English Campaign.
　　這項在線調查的創意來自“簡明英語運動組織” ，共有四千人參加。法國足球運動員、哲學愛好者埃瑞克•康冬納和美國前總統比爾•克林頓也躋身該榜。

　　Notoriously language-challenged Bushromped to the top accolade for his: "Our enemies are innovative and resourceful and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we."
　　一直以“雷人”英語而著稱的小布什“輕而易舉”地奪得該榜冠軍，他的奪冠語錄是：“我們的敵人足智多謀，我們也是。他們從沒停止過想辦法來侵害我們的國家和人民，我們也沒有。”

　　Second came to bodybuilder-turned-actor-turned-California governor Schwarzenegger, who during an election campaign in 2003 minted the puzzling: "I think that gay marriage should be between a man and a woman."
　　亞軍得主是加利福尼亞州州長施瓦辛格，他在2003年的一次競選活動中冒出了這么一句讓人摸不著頭腦的話：“我認為同性婚姻應該是一男一女的結合�！笔┩咝粮裨且幻∩斫叹�，在競選成為加州州長之前曾做過演員。

　　The rest of the top 10 in the poll, commissioned by an insurance company after it won an award from the Plain English Campaign, were:
　　這項民意調查由一家保險公司委托開展，之前該公司獲得了“簡明英語運動組織”頒發的一個獎項。該調查評選出的十大不知所云語錄還包括：

　　3. Rumsfeld, in February 2002: "Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns: the ones we don't know we don't know."
