After speaking in Austin, Texas, Thursday, President Obama stopped in at Franklin Barbecue, a restaurant is "well known for its great brisket and extremely long waits." Since presidents apparently have schedules to keep, Obama cut to the front of the hours-long line -- then bought lunch for those behind him as a thank-you.
據(jù)合眾國(guó)際社7月10日?qǐng)?bào)道，美國(guó)總統(tǒng)奧巴馬在德克薩斯州奧斯丁市發(fā)表演說，活動(dòng)結(jié)束后空降德州著名的富蘭克林燒烤店點(diǎn)外賣。這家燒烤店在德克薩斯以“牛肉非常美味，但也極其難等”而聞名。顯然由于總統(tǒng)日常安排十分緊張，奧巴馬插到了這個(gè)排了數(shù)小時(shí)的隊(duì)伍前面，然后為了表示歉意，主動(dòng)為排在前面的顧客買了單。

"I know this is a long line," Obama reportedly told the crowd, apologizing for his actions. "I feel real bad, but -- I’m gonna cut."
報(bào)道稱，奧巴馬為自己的插隊(duì)行為向顧客道歉稱：“我知道你們排了很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間的隊(duì)，我很抱歉，但是我不得不插隊(duì)?！?/div>
The restaurant's owner, Aaron Franklin, told the Austin American-Statesman the president is the first person he's allowed to skip the line, adding that Obama ordered enough meat to "feed a small village."
燒烤店老板阿倫·富蘭克林說，奧巴馬是這家店開張以來“加塞兒”的第一人，不過他補(bǔ)充說，總統(tǒng)點(diǎn)的食物足夠“養(yǎng)活一個(gè)村莊”。

That village includes the two people Obama jumped in line. They put "three pounds of beef, two pounds of ribs, a half-pound of sausage and a half-pound of turkey" on the president's tab, reports the Houston Chronicle. After hearing their order, Obama joked, "Now hold on. How many folks are you guys feeding? Just kidding."
這個(gè)村莊就是排在奧巴馬前面的兩名顧客。據(jù)《休斯敦紀(jì)事報(bào)》報(bào)道，這兩名顧客點(diǎn)了三磅牛肉、兩磅豬排、半磅香腸和半磅火雞，“痛宰”了美國(guó)總統(tǒng)奧巴馬。他們點(diǎn)餐后，奧巴馬打趣地問：“等等，你們這是要給多少人吃？”

President Barack Obama scrutinizes his credit card as he jokes with the wait staff while ordering barbecue.
在燒烤店點(diǎn)餐時(shí)，奧巴馬檢查自己的信用卡余額，并和等待的顧客開起了玩笑。

Obama ended up paying around $300 for his own order, and an undisclosed amount more to cover the people he cut in line.
最后，奧巴馬為自己的賬單支付了300美元，并為前面的顧客買了單。

Austin is the final leg in his three-city trip before returning to Washington.
