R ISHI SUNAK is in Washington this week. The centrepiece is the British prime minister’s meeting with President Joe Biden in the Oval Office. But he will also meet other senior politicians and business leaders, and attend a game of the local Major League baseball team, the Washington Nationals. It had been rumoured that Mr Sunak would throw the ceremonial first pitch, but it now appears he will not have the honour. That may, in fact, come as a relief: celebrity pitching is fraught with risk, as Barack Obama discovered in 2010, when he threw so high and wide that those in the crowd who weren’t laughing jeered.
Rishi Sunak本周在华盛顿。该核心是英国总理在椭圆形办公室与乔·拜登总统的会议。但是他还将与其他高级政客和商业领袖会面，并参加当地美国职棒大联盟华盛顿国民队的比赛。有传言说Sunak先生会举行礼仪的第一场比赛，但现在看来他将没有荣誉。实际上，这可能是一种解脱的：正如巴拉克·奥巴马（Barack Obama）在2010年发现的那样，名人投球充满了风险，当时他扔了很高和宽广的范围，以至于人群中那些没有嘲笑的人。
