If you’re the former leader of a European nation, the president of a major human rights organization and the owner of a diplomatic passport, you’re not likely to encounter a long wait at airport immigration.
倘若你是某歐洲國家的前領導人、某主要人權組織主席，而且還持有外交護照，你在機場過移民關時不太可能會遭遇排隊人龍。
But on January 31, Kjell Magne Bondevik, the former Prime Minister of Norway, encountered more than just a lengthy queue.
但在1月31日，挪威前總理龐德維克所遭遇的事情，不是只有排隊長龍。
Bondevik told CNN’s "Connect the World" he was interrogated by officials at Washington’s Dulles International Airport because he had an Iranian visa in his diplomatic passport.
龐德維克告訴美國有線電視新聞網「與世界接軌」節目，他在華府杜勒斯國際機場遭官員盤問，因為他的外交護照上有伊朗簽證。
"When they found the Iranian visa, where I was in December 2014, they said that there was a ... regulation that with such a visa I had to be flagged up," Bondevik said.
「當他們發現這個伊朗簽證，我2014年12月時在伊朗，他們說……有個規定指像我這種簽證需要特別注意」，龐德維克說。
After the former European leader detailed his travel history － he was in Tehran speaking at an anti-extremism conference － Bondevik said he "assumed and presumed that they would let me go immediately."
在這位歐洲國家的前領導人詳述他的旅遊史——他當時在（伊朗首都）德黑蘭的一場反極端主義大會上演講——後，龐德維克說，他「以為與相信，他們（機場官員）會立刻放他走。」
But instead, Bondevik said he was questioned for over an hour.
結果，龐德維克說，他反而被問話超過1小時。
