He had been using the distinctive briefcase, bearing his title of ‘Prime Minister’, to carry official papers as he travelled to a wedding in Yorkshire.

这个与众不同的盒子上印有“首相”头衔，卡梅伦去约克郡参加一个婚礼时还一直用它存放官方文件。

It was photographed by a fellow passenger, seemingly unattended on a table, after Mr Cameron wandered to another part of the train. Downing Street insisted that claims of a security breach were ‘nonsense’, and that a member of Mr Cameron’s police protection team was keeping watch at all times.

在火车上，卡梅伦先生到其它车厢走动，把红盒子丢在原位，似乎无人看管。这一场景被同车乘客拍了下来。唐宁街坚持认为根本没有安全漏洞一说，声称卡梅伦先生的警卫保护队中一直有一人时刻看管红盒子。
