Gaffe-tastic Joe Biden thinks ’Africa’ is a country, not a continent 糗到爆的拜登以為「非洲」是國家，而非大陸

Vice President Joe Biden wants everyone to know that he has high hopes for the ’nation’ of Africa.

副總統拜登希望每個人都知道，他高度看好非洲這個「國家」。

Biden isn’t just a walking gaffe machine – he’s a walking gaffe top-ten list. So when he goofed at Tuesday’s U.S.-Africa Business Forum, and there was no F-bomb involved, it didn’t make headlines.

拜登不只是活生生的醜態製造機，還名列前茅。所以，當他在週二的美非商業論壇上說錯話又沒爆粗口，就沒登上頭條。

But gaffe he did, in front of 50 world leaders and their entourages at the event held on the sidelines of President Barack Obama’s U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit.

但他確實在這場總統歐巴馬召開的美非領袖峰會會外舉行的活動上，當著50名世界領袖及其隨行人員的面前出糗。
