A couple of days ago, Mr. Cai Shenkun
@cskun1989 asked about why the Chinese translator—who failed to keep up with Xi Jinping at the BRICS summit in South Africa, got blocked by security, and left Xi standing alone and looking lost (repeatedly turning back to search for him in front of other world leaders)—hasn’t been fired yet (Anyone still remembers that eposide? ). I replied: “It’s not easy to train a good translator.”
After seeing this photo posted by
@EricTrump, I suddenly realized there might be another reason: it’s also not easy to find such a short translator to make Xi Jinping look “tall and imposing” by contrast, either.
Just look at the little tricks Xi used this time to appear as tall as Trump—or even taller than him. It shows just how important height is as a factor.
What do you think?
