小贝留守美国不想走 计划开英式酒吧

    David Beckham moved to Beverly Hills in 2007 with his wife Victoria and their three sons, and the soccer star has no plans to move back to the UK.
    “万人迷”大卫-贝克汉姆在2007年拖家带口，搬到了美国好莱坞的贝弗利山庄，转眼三年过去了，这位球员似乎没有打道回府重归英国的打算。
    Instead, he hopes to remain in America for as long as his family are happy living there -- but insists he will never forget his English roots.
    Asked by the Los Angeles Times newspaper if he would like to get US citizenship¹, David -- who was born and raised in London -- said: "I hope so, one day. It would be nice. I'm English born and bred and that's the way I'll always be. I'm an Englishman, you know.
    相反的，大卫-贝克汉姆希望只要家人快乐，他不介意一直留在美国，不过这并不代表他已经忘了自己英格兰的血统。在被洛杉矶时报问道是否愿意加入美国国籍时，在伦敦出生成长的小贝说道：“我希望有一天可以，我想那将非常不错，不过我在出生英国，在那里长大，你知道，我永远都会是一个‘英国人’。”
    "Our boys go to school here. As long as they continue to be happy here and my wife's happy here, then we plan on staying."“我的孩子们在这里上学，只要我的妻子和孩子们在这里能过得很快乐的话，我很愿意在这里长期定居。”
    Despite his love for America, the heartthrob sportsman wants to bring a little bit of England over to Los Angeles by opening a pub called The Queen Vic.
    David and his close friend, TV chef Gordon Ramsay, are planning to open a traditional English drinking establishment for the city’s expats.
    A source previously² said: “David wants pie and mash³, fish and chips and even chicken in a basket on the menu, just like the meals he eats when he's in the UK.”
    除了对于美式生活的钟情以外，小贝还想要为洛杉矶增添一些“英国味道”。贝克汉姆正与好友，美食节目厨师戈登-拉姆齐计划在当地开设一家名为“The Queen Vic”的酒吧，顾客们将在那里平常到最地道的英国食物。
