Είδα στις ειδήσεις κάποιον ξένο δημοσιογράφο με ματσούκι να ρωτάει τον Γ. Βαρουφάκη για Grexit, οπότε ο υπουργός του απάντησε το παρακάτω και προχώρησε αφήνοντάς τον σύξυλο:
Surely you don't expect me to answer such an impertinent question in such a beautiful place?
Νομίζω ότι άκουσα να αναφέρονται σε «αναιδή ερώτηση» [προσθέτω σύνδεσμο], αλλά το impertinent έχει δύο σημασίες:
impertinent
Not showing proper respect; rude:
an impertinent question
They can ask us the most impertinent or rude questions but, obviously, we cannot ask, hint at or even think about anything approaching the same.
2 formal Not pertinent to a particular matter; irrelevant:
talk of ‘rhetoric’ and ‘strategy’ is impertinent to this process
The students believed that the goal of their required first-year course was to improve their writing, and for that reason my effort to pose writing as a subject of analysis was misguided at best and at worst impertinent and irrelevant.

Έτσι, αν το συσχετίσουμε με το «such a beautiful place», πιστεύω ο υπουργός εννοούσε ότι η ερώτηση ήταν εκτός τόπου και χρόνου.
