奥巴马携女儿逛书店买17本书一本关于中国

据美联社11月29日报道，为响应感恩节过后的“星期六小商家日”，美国总统奥巴马当天带着两个女儿玛丽亚和萨莎光顾了华盛顿一家知名独立书店，并购买了17本书，其中一本书还与中国有关。

近年来，感恩节后的星期六已被包装成“星期六小商家日”，旨在鼓励消费者把自己的假期购物消费放在独立小商家身上。该消费日设在大型零售商的“黑色星期五”和在线零售商的“网购星期一”之间。

在17本书中，成年人读物有《纽约客》杂志前驻华记者欧逸文的《野心时代:在新中国追逐财富、真相和信念》，外科医生阿图•葛文德的《致命》，以及美国作家安东尼•多尔的《所有我们不能看见的光》。年轻人的读物包括3本布里安•雅克的“红城”系列，2本芭芭拉•帕克的朱尼•琼斯系列，以及朵琳•克罗宁的《疯狂农庄收藏》。

President Barack Obama tried to draw attention to independently owned businesses on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, a day that is increasingly being marketed as one for deal-hungry consumers to remember to patronize these mom-and-pop outlets while doing their holiday shopping.

He bought bags of books — 17 titles in all — during a stop at Politics and Prose, a popular Washington bookstore now owned by a former Washington Post reporter and his wife, also a former Post reporter who also worked for Hillary Rodham Clinton at the White House and State Department.
