A team of European neurologists says in a new study that Russian president Vladimir Putin walks with a peculiar “gunslinger’s gait”.

欧洲一神经学家团队在一项新研究中称俄罗斯总统普京走路时带有一种奇特的“枪手步态”。

The study, published on Tuesday by the British Medical Journal, notes that Putin has shown a “clearly reduced right-sided arm swing”, possibly related to weapons training he received when he was part of the Soviet KGB.

周二，这份发表在《英国医学杂志》周刊的报告称“显然，普京的右臂摆动少”，这可能与普京在前苏联克格勃接受过武器训练有关。

Citing a KGB training manual they obtained, the researchers suggest that his style of walking is linked to training he underwent in the feared security agency, where he rose to the rank of lieutenant colonel before retiring at the twilight of the Soviet Union.

普京在前苏联时期为克格勃工作，退休前曾晋升中校军衔。通过研究克格勃使用的训练手册，研究人员认为普京的走路方式与他在情报安全机构接受的培训有关。

“According to this manual, KGB operatives were instructed to keep their weapon in their right hand close to their chest and to move forward with one side, usually the left, presumably allowing subjects to draw the gun as quickly as possible when confronted with a foe,” the researchers, based in Portugal, Italy, and the Netherlands, wrote.
