法新社倫敦十七日電) 英國「泰晤士報」今天報導,向來口無遮攔令人尷尬的英國菲立
普親王,本週陪同女王伊麗莎白二世造訪倫敦Google總部時,無意間又讓主人面子掛不住
。
報導指出,八十七歲的親王陪同女王造訪Google時,公司高層向他們展示Google Earth軟
體的強大功能。Google人員以白金漢宮為例,示範如何透過衛星鳥瞰,將附近建築物、街
道甚至汽車看得一清二楚。
菲立普親王不改此類場合禮貌發問的習慣,詢問是否能看到Google總部,「你知道它在哪
嗎?」
Google人員按了幾下滑鼠,把畫面拉到離白金漢宮只有幾百公尺的總部所在... 結果發現
竟然不在。所有週遭街道都在,但應該是Google辦公室的地方卻是塊空地。
報導說,為掩飾尷尬,Google歐洲、中東和非洲地區業務總裁艾若拉只好說:「照片傳回
來時剛好是空地。」
菲立普親王向來以直腸子通到底聞名,他在Google辦公室問穿附帽上衣、休閒褲和慢跑鞋
的工作人員:「剛慢跑回來?」
這相較於過去禍從口出的紀錄還算小巫見大巫。二零零二年訪問澳洲時,他問原住民:「
還在扔茅嗎?」
最讓人印象深刻的則是一九八六年正式訪問中國時,他告訴一群英國學生:「如果你們待
在這裡太久,都會變成瞇瞇眼。」
