雙語金句﹕我犯錯 但我誠實

【明報專訊】"(Germany needs) a president that enjoys the trust of not only a majority, but a broad majority of citizens. The development of the last days and weeks have shown that this trust and therefore my effectiveness have been damaged."

"For this reason, it is no longer possible to carry out the office of president both domestically and abroad the way it needs to be done. I have made mistakes, but I was always honest."

「（德國需要）一位不僅獲得多半數，而是獲得廣泛大多數國民信任的總統。這些日子的事態發展顯示，這種信任以至我的執行能力，都已受損。基於這理由，我已再無法根據工作需要，繼續在國內外執行總統的職務。我犯了過錯，但我一直都誠實。」


德國總統武爾夫昨宣布辭職時，承認濫權貪腐醜聞已令他失信於國民，只能選擇辭職，但仍堅稱自己「有錯但誠實」。
