双语新闻（Ｃｈｉｎｅｓｅ－Ｅｎｇｌｉｓｈ Ｎｅｗｓ）细数大连优势 夏市长与客人互相“纠错”首席记者马野新本报讯这两天，夏德仁市长每次会见各国高官，都要把大连的情况介绍一下，尤其是大连的环境优势。这些优势对于市长来说早已了然于胸、张口就来，没想到昨天却被德国劳动部国务秘书鲁道夫·安兹格捡了个漏儿。当时夏德仁向客人介绍大连及在大连投资的德国企业情况后，轮到鲁道夫讲话：昨晚我住在宾馆的23楼，早晨起床，一推开窗，啊，多么美丽的城市！开场白后，他又说，我在柏林住了4年，刚才听了大连的人口，让我惊讶，居然有590万人，而柏林算是德国大的城市了，也只有350万人。接下来，他很是一本正经地说，刚才听到市长说起大连的优势，我觉得你少说了一点：大连的足球。我知道，你们的足球队得过6次联赛冠军。说到这儿，夏德仁忍不住笑了，对，对，不过你也说错了，我们是9年联赛7夺冠。鲁道夫说，德国总理就是个球迷，大连在德国的两个友好城市——不来梅和罗斯托克都有着足球传统。记者听后不由得感慨，一个城市跟另一个城市甚至另一个国家打交道，足球有时会胜过一个不错的“大使”呢。
