When Vífill Atlason, a 16-year-old high school student from Iceland, decided to call the White House, he could not imagine the kind of publicity it would bring.
当16岁的冰岛少年维菲尔·阿特拉森决定给白宫打电话的时候，他没有想到这会带来怎样的后果。

Introducing himself as Ólafur Ragnar Grímsson, the actual president of Iceland, Atlason found what he believed to be President George W. Bush’s allegedly secret telephone number and phoned, requesting a private meeting with him.
阿特拉森发现了一个据说是总统布什的私密电话的号码，他相信并拨打了这个号码，说自己是冰岛的现任总统奥拉维尔·格里姆松，要求和布什进行私人会晤。

"I just wanted to talk to him, have a chat, invite him to Iceland and see what he’d say," Vífill told ABC News.
维菲尔对ABC News说，“我只是想和他聊聊，邀请他到冰岛来看看他会说什么。”

A White House spokeswoman Emily Lawrimore insisted to ABC News that the young man did not dial the private number but instead dialled 202-456-1414, the main switchboard for the West Wing. But that was not the case. The student gave ABC News the number. It is indeed an extention off the White House switchboard and goes to a security command post office in the building next door to the White House.
白宫一位女发言人坚持告诉ABC news说这个年轻人拨通的并不是私密电话，而是白宫总机的号码202-456-1414。但其实不是这样的。这位学生把号码给了ABC，这的确是一个白宫的分机号，是接通到白宫隔壁的安全指挥部的。

Vífill’s mother, Harpa Hreinsdottir, a teacher at the local high school, said her son did, in fact, get through to a private phone.
维菲尔的妈妈哈帕是当地一所高中的老师，她说她的儿子的确接通了一个私密电话。

"This was not a switchboard number of any kind," she told ABC News, "it was a secret number at the highest security level."
她对ABC news说，那并不是什么总机号码，那是一个最高安全级别的秘密电话号码。

Vífill claims he was passed on to several people, each of them quizzing him on President Grímsson’s date of birth, where he grew up, who his parents were and the date he entered office.
维菲尔说他被很多人转接，每个人都会问他关于格里姆松的的问题，比如他的生日，他在哪长大，他的父母是谁以及他就任的日期。
