Inquiring minds want to know. What does President George W. Bush carry in his pockets? Not much, it turns out.

　　A Latin American journalist at a briefing on the president's trip to the region this week told Bush he wanted to ask the "unofficial" question that he asks all presidents -- what does he carry in his pockets?

　　Bush magnanimously answered by pulling out a white handkerchief with a flourish and then rummaged around in both pockets.

　　And finally, showing that he had nothing to hide, Bush pulled both pants pockets inside out. They were empty.

　　"Es todo. No dinero," ("That's all. No money.") Bush joked in his own brand of Spanglish. "No wallet, no bolsa (wallet)."

　　He even showed off his Timex wristwatch, but quickly added: "I'm not supposed to be endorsing products."




拉美记者向布什提问：你口袋里都装了什么？
　　美国总统布什的衣服口袋里究竟装了些什么？一名拉美地区的记者日前在招待会上提出了这样一个问题。而事实证明，布什的口袋里除了一条手绢以外，其它什么都没有。

　　据路透社11月2日报道， 在日前举行的一次以布什即将于本周展开的拉美之行为主题的小型记者招待会上，一位来自拉美地区的记者告诉布什，自己想问一个"非正式"问题--你的衣服口袋里究竟装了些什么？对此，布什予以了很大度的回答。他首先从裤子口袋中掏出了一条白手绢并挥舞了几下，然后在两个口袋里仔细搜寻了一番。为证明那里面空空如也，他干脆将两个裤子口袋完全翻了出来。

　　布什还就此开玩笑说："就是这些，没有钞票，也没有钱包。"他甚至还向记者们展示了自己所戴的Timex手表，但马上又补充说："我可不打算在这里替某些产品做宣传。"
