2007年3月11日,希拉克发表了简短的电视讲话,向他献出了毕生心血的法国政坛说再见。希拉克32岁从政,当过18年巴黎市长、两届总理和两任总统,宦海沉浮40余载,即将谢幕之际,有人赞他急流勇退,更多的人为之惋惜,称“法国少了一位民众最渴望共餐的政治人物”。 On March 11, 2007, Chirac delivered a brief televised speech and said goodbye to his devoted French political life. When Chirac was 32 years old, he was the mayor of Paris in 18 years, two prime ministers, and two presidents. When the Bohai Sea floated for more than 40 years, he was greeted with a gushing retreat on the occasion of the curtain call. He was more regretted and said, “France is less. A politician who is most eager to eat together.”
