Presidents don’t get to have very much fun. Beyond the day-to-day stresses of the job, security concerns keep a whole bunch of activities off-limits, and whatever Barack Obama might be missing about the Oval Office, those restrictions don’t appear to be one of them.
总统无法尽情地享受乐趣。除了日常的工作压力，安全问题还使大量的活动成为禁区。巴拉克·奥巴马也许错失了总统办公室，但不管怎样，(过去的)那些限制似乎都不再是问题了。
The former president tried out some high-adrenaline water recreation in the Virgin Islands over the weekend, in a friendly competition with billionaire Richard Branson off the coast of Moskito Island.
周末的时候，奥巴马前总统在维尔京群岛尝试了非常刺激的水上娱乐活动，并与亿万富翁理查德·布兰森在莫斯基托岛沿海展开友好竞争。
Pictures in a post on the Virgin Group website show the 44th president in apparent joy, learning to kiteboard (also known as kitesurfing) – a fairly new sport which outfits a surfer on board with a handheld kite for propulsion.
维京集团网站上贴出的照片说明，第44任总统显然在高兴地学习风筝浪板(也被称为风筝冲浪)，这是一项相当新式的运动，它为滑板上的冲浪者配备了手持风筝来提供推进力。
The pictures emerged just a few day after Obama, several weeks into a post-presidency vacation with former first lady Michelle Obama, was spotted looking relaxed on a beach sporting a backwards hat – to the amusement of many on the internet.

Obama has mostly kept a low profile since leaving the White House, as is tradition, but did break his silence to issue a statement about Donald Trump’s travel ban executive order. He has stated he will speak up if our “core values are at stake”.

During the election Trump repeatedly criticized Obama. Obama said Trump was not qualified to lead the country.

Despite that, Trump said the two were able to “hop into the car” and drive down Pennsylvania Avenue together during his inauguration with no ill will. “Politics is amazing,” he said.
