What the butler saw:
管家带你认识特朗普:
He does his own hair
自己打整发型
Mr Trump’s hair has, for decades, been a source of fascination to the American public.

And Mr Senecal revealed that, despite the estate having a salon, the billionaire preferred to style his own hair.

He only needs four hours sleep a night

Like Margaret Thatcher, General David Petraeus, Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer and Pepsi's Indra Nooyi, Mr Trump sleeps only for four hours a night, his butler said. Then he rises before dawn to read the newspapers before playing golf.
特朗普每晚只睡四小时,就像撒切尔夫人、彼得雷乌斯将军、雅虎CEO玛丽莎?梅耶尔、和百事可乐CEO卢英德那样。他天不亮就起床读报纸,之后打高尔夫。
The White House has had a light-sleeping incumbent before. George W Bush was famously in bed by 10pm, but Bill Clinton frequently survived on four or five hours sleep.
以前白宫爱睡觉的要算小布什了。他每晚10点前必睡。而克林顿当总统时每晚也是就睡四五个小时。

喜欢熟牛排
He likes his steaks well done.
特朗普喜欢熟牛排。
“It would rock on the plate, it was so well done,” said Mr Senecal.

If he wears a white baseball cap, he’s in a good mood
戴白色棒球帽时心情好
Mr Trump, most mornings, will emerge after having read the papers – New York Times, New York Post, New York Daily News and Palm Beach newspapers – to play golf.
大多数的清晨,特朗普读报纸后会去打高尔夫。他经常读《纽约时报》、《纽约邮报》、《纽约每日新闻报》和棕榈滩当地的报纸。
When he wears a white cap, he is in a good mood. When he wears a red cap, he is in a bad mood.
当他戴着白色帽子,说明他心情很好,如果是红帽子,就恰好相反了。
He doesn’t like to swim
不喜欢游泳
Despite the Florida heat and his own fabulous pool, Mr Trump is not a keen swimmer. And, Mr Senecal said, he is not a sun worshipper – rarely appearing in swimming trunks.
尽管佛州炎热,而他的游泳池清爽无比,特朗普还是不爱游泳。塞内卡尔说,他也不喜欢晒太阳,很少穿泳裤。
He likes to lie about the history of his house
喜欢对大豪宅的历史撒个小谎
Trump once claimed the tiles in Ivanka's room were made by a young Walt Disney, which is not true.
塞内卡尔还说起,特朗普有一次说女儿伊万卡房里的瓷砖是华特?迪士尼年轻的时候做的,这当然不是真的。
When Mr Senecal, who now serves as the house historian, points out it isn’t true, Mr Trump will reply: “Who cares?”
如今,身为豪宅历史见证人的塞内卡尔有时会指出这不是真的,但特朗普会说:“谁会在意?”
He needs his ego boosting on the golf course

“Tony, how far is that?” Mr Trump would ask.

“It’s like 275 yards,” Mr Senecal would respond, though he said the actual distance was 225 yards.
塞内卡尔会回答:“大概275码。”而他说实际距离只有225码。
He hands out $100 bills to groundsmen
给园丁发百元小费
Mr Trump would regularly stroll through his gardens, greeting the mainly Hispanic workers. And Mr Senecal said that he would frequently dish out $100 bills to the groundsmen who, unsurprisingly, were deeply appreciative.
特朗普会经常在花园散步,和园丁们打招呼,他们大多是西班牙裔。他经常给园丁发几百美元消费,他们也非常感激他。
He’s not a connoisseur of art or literature
对艺术和文学不在行
And after the real estate mogul bought the estate in 1985, he turned the library, with centuries-old British oak bookcases filled with rare first editions, into a bar and hung a painting of himself, in tennis whites, on the wall.
1985年,当这位地产大亨买下这处房产的时候,他把图书馆改造成了酒吧并挂上了自己身穿白色网球衣的画像。图书馆里的橡木书架已经有几百年历史了,上面摆满了罕见的初版图书。
A series of 16th Century Flemish tapestries hung in the house when he bought it, which had been carefully protected by drapes. He soon blasted them into oblivion with sunlight, causing them to fade irreparably.

The sound of planes flying overhead drives him mad, leading him sue the nearby country-run airport and to yell repeatedly: “Tony, call the tower!”
头顶上飞机驶过的轰鸣让他烦恼,他还曾起诉附近的机场。经常喊:“托尼,给塔台打电话!”
He has also sued the town in a dispute over the size of his estate’s flagpole; the size of the banquet hall he added to the property; and the size of the club.
他还曾因为旗杆的大小,他增加的宴会厅的大小、酒吧的大小和当地闹上法庭。
