Theresa May has said her shoes are the "greatest love" of her life and that she dislikes her nose, in a revealing personal interview with a local magazine.

 

在当地杂志的一次个人采访中，特蕾莎·梅曾表示，鞋子是她的最爱，而她对自己的鼻子不太满意。
 

 

The Prime Minister confessed that her shoes were her "greatest extravagance" and that her motto for life is 'Don't let the b******* get you down', a phrase coined by British army intelligence officers during World War II.

 

Mrs May also admitted the historical figure she most relates to is Queen Elizabeth I, the monarch¹ whose reign² is often associated with England's Golden Age.

 

In a 2005 interview with the Guardian's Rosanna Greenstreet (reprinted this month by Windsor, Maidenhead and Ascot magazine) she was asked for the figure with whom she most identified, she replied: "Queen Elizabeth I - a woman who knew her own mind and achieved in a male environment.

 

"Remember her speech: 'I know I have the body of a weak and feeble woman, but I have the stomach of a king."

 

Mrs May also revealed she's terrified of snakes, is "late all the time", and that "perfect happiness" is walking in the Alps in Switzerland with her husband.

 

"Like Indiana Jones, I really don't like snakes - although that might lead some to ask why I'm in politics!" she joked.

 

Asked who or what was the greatest love of her life, Mrs May said: "What? Shoes. Who? My husband Philip."
