Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
|
Better known for his defiance on Iran's nuclear programme, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Tuesday revealed he was a handy cook who prepares "delicious" food and regrets not spending more time at home.
In a television interview aimed at showing his personal side, Ahmadinejad made no mention of Iran's disputes with the West and instead portrayed himself as a hardworking husband who only leaves his job in the small hours.
"Before (I became president) I used to do the grocery shopping. Now sometimes I help in the kitchen and I know how to make all the Iranian food," Ahmadinejad said.
Pressed by the interviewer for more details, Ahmadinejad continued.
"Of course what I make is delicious -- ask everyone who has eaten it! I can make all the different kinds of soups and Iranian stews," said the president.
Ahmadinejad, who has been known for his ability to work hard, said he is often at his desk by 5:30 am and sometimes does not leave until after midnight.
"I used to visit my relatives more but now I do so less. I see them when they are all in one place, but I regularly visit my mother and when I visit her the rest come to see me."
But like almost all Iranian politicians, Ahmadinejad's private life remains a closely guarded secret, and his wife, two sons and daughter are rarely seen in public.

伊朗總統(tǒng)默哈默德?艾哈邁迪-內(nèi)賈德向來以在伊朗核問題上態(tài)度強(qiáng)硬而聞名。而內(nèi)賈德在本周二透露，他的“廚藝”不錯(cuò)，能做一手“好菜”，并遺憾自己不能在家多呆些時(shí)間。
在一個(gè)旨在展現(xiàn)其私人生活面的電視采訪中，內(nèi)賈德沒有提及伊朗與西方國家（在核問題上的）糾紛，而是將自己描述成了一個(gè)勤勞的丈夫，不過這位勤勞的丈夫大部分時(shí)間在工作。
內(nèi)賈德說：“當(dāng)總統(tǒng)之前，我常去雜貨鋪購物。現(xiàn)在，我有時(shí)會(huì)去廚房幫幫忙，而且我會(huì)做各式的伊朗食物。”
在主持人的追問下，內(nèi)賈德繼續(xù)說起了其中的細(xì)節(jié)。
他說：“我的廚藝確實(shí)不錯(cuò)——去問問嘗過的人就知道！我會(huì)做各式的湯和伊朗燉菜。”
內(nèi)賈德總統(tǒng)以努力工作而著稱。他說自己經(jīng)常工作到凌晨5點(diǎn)半，有時(shí)到了半夜才離開辦公室。
他說：“過去我經(jīng)常走走親戚，現(xiàn)在走的少了。我會(huì)在他們聚在一起時(shí)去看望他們，不過我經(jīng)常去看我母親，這個(gè)時(shí)候，其他親戚會(huì)過來看我。”
與伊朗其他政治人物一樣，內(nèi)賈德的私生活一直受到嚴(yán)密保護(hù)，他的妻子、兩個(gè)兒子和女兒很少在公共場合露面。
