奥巴马将参加真人秀《越野千里》
NBC announced on August 31 that Obama will become the first sitting president to appear in a special edition of the reality show Running Wild With Bear Grylls, which will be taped during his three-day trip to the region beginning Monday.
美国全国广播公司当地时间8月31日宣布，奥巴马将成为参加真人秀《越野千里》特别节目的首位现任总统。奥巴马于当地时间8月31日前往阿拉斯加州，行程为3天，期间奥巴马将参与节目录制。
The president will spend three days in the Alaska Arctic attending a climate change conference, visiting glaciers and meeting with Native American leaders.
According to a press release put out by NBC, the commander-in-chief will meet up with the celebrity survivalist to observe first-hand the effects of climate change in Alaska.
The White House confirmed on August 31 that the shoot will take place Tuesday in Exit Glacier in Kenai Mountains, reported the New York Times.
The expanse of ice is retreating, in what environmentalists say is a dramatic sign of warming temperatures.
The president will then join Grylls in the woods for a crash course in survival techniques. The episode will be aired on NBC later this year.
