When Bradley Wiggins goes for gold tomorrow afternoon

in the men's cycling time trial the Tour de France

champion could be forgiven for checking the crowd

nervously for the face of the prime minister, who is

starting to get a reputation as a bit of a jinx.

如果环法自行车赛冠军布拉德利威金斯在争夺男子公路自行车

个人计时赛的赛场上，紧张地环顾人群，看首相卡梅伦有没有

来观战，那我们一定要原谅他，因为卡梅伦首相已开始被誉为

奥运会扫帚星。
