Tony Blair makes a less than ministerial hand gesture  in this group photo. In his youth, Tony Blair's rebellious streak often landed him in trouble. He was almost expelled from school for persistent rule-breaking and was once arrested as he tried to climb into his dormitory through a window. The future Prime Minister remained equally impish when at Oxford - as this extraordinary picture of him making a lewd hand gesture demonstrates. A photograph of Tony Blair as a long-haired, boater-wearing student was reproduced in a number of newspapers with focus on his less than prime ministerial hand gesture. The shaggy-haired undergraduate from St John's College, Oxford University -- dressed in a blue blazer, white shirt with enormous collars and a straw hat perched at a jaunty angle -- has been seen before but only from the waist up. BBC's "Newsight" programme has now unearthed the original and published it in full, complete with the then 21-year-old Blair's universally understood right-hand gesture around his groin area. Although the photo has been published before, Mr Blair's hand gesture was digitally removed from it by the press agency which supplied it, out of respect for the Prime Minister. A "Newsight" reporter found the snap of the apparently well-oiled college archery club in 1975 while researching a student photograph of Conservative leader David Cameron. On Blair's photo, the Daily Express wondered: "So, Tony... is that where you learnt gesture politics?" 點擊查看更多雙語新聞 (AFP)

英國首相托尼·布萊爾青年時代的叛逆個性給自己惹了不少麻煩。由于他總是違反學校規定，差點被學校開除；他還曾因試圖從窗戶爬進宿舍而被逮捕。 這位如今的首相先生在牛津大學上學時仍不改頑皮個性，這張帶有他做著下流姿勢的特殊照片便可以證明這一點。 布萊爾學生時代的一張照片日前在很多家報紙被轉載，照片上的布萊爾蓄著長頭發、戴著一頂硬草帽，更引人注目的是，這位首相先生在照片中做了一個與其如今身份極不相稱的手勢。 照片中這位牛津大學圣約翰學院的畢業生頭發蓬亂，身穿藍色夾克和白色大領襯衫，頭上俏皮的歪戴了一頂草帽。然而，這張照片并不是第一次公開，但此前人們看到的只是布萊爾腰部以上的部分。 BBC“新聞視角”欄目日前將這張原始照片公布于眾，照片中21歲的布萊爾用右手在其身體腹股溝附近所做的下流動作也隨之“大白天下”。 盡管這張照片之前被公開過，但出于對首相先生的尊重，當時提供照片的新聞社對照片中布萊爾的手勢進行了數碼技術處理。 不久前，BBC“新聞視角”欄目的一位記者在尋找保守黨領袖大衛·卡梅倫學生時代的一張照片時，發現了這張拍攝于1975年、布萊爾所在的學院劍術俱樂部的合照，照片上俱樂部的成員們顯然都喝醉了。 英國《每日快報》評論布萊爾的這張照片說：“托尼，你是從這里學到了政治姿態嗎？” （ 英語點津姍姍編輯）
