He was the silent of the storm that erupted after the violent death of Diana, Princess of Wales. The only survivor of the horrific crash in Paris, Trevor Rees-Jones would surely answer all the puzzling questions about that night in 1997. But apart from one tabloid interview that he instantly regretted, the 31-year-old bodyguard remained as enigmatic as the last fateful seconds locked irretrievably inside his head.
The former paratrooper had suffered serious chest and head injuries, his face so badly disfigured that it was sewn back together after more than 20 metal splinters were removed. What hurt more, it seems, were the accusations about his role and the wild conspiracy theories made by his former employer, Mohamed al-Fayed, father of the deceased Dodi.
Rees-Jones has now decided to break his silence by writing a book, The bodyguard’s Story, which gives his unalloyed account of the events leading up to the final "shambles". It describes the bizarre Fayed menage. Crates of bottled water were taken to the family villa in St Tropez — the equivalent of coals to Newcastle. Fayed’s private Gulfstream jet transported five sacks of sand to Finland to make a beach for the Fayed children, only to be swept away.
Although adamant that he is not cashing in on Diana’s death, Rees-Jones is submitting to a media hoopla because he is hard up. Denied compensation in France, facing legal bills and without long-term provision after his acrimonious parting from Fayed, the money has provided him with a two-bedroom house in Oswestry in Shropshire and some security.
It has bought him no peace of mind. In an interview with The Daily Telegraph, he confesses he is plagued by the thought that Diana, Dodi and driver Henri Paul died on my shift and that he would gladly have sacrificed his own life to save theirs. "If I could have died and those three survived, I could have done it," he says.
Rees-Jones was one of 40 security men — 16-stone nannies hired to guard the Fayed family and pander to their whims. A former squaddie with the Parachute Regiment in Northern Ireland, he was a useful rugby player whose tough looks and soft in frame belied a mild and stoical nature.
Which statement is not true about the bodyguard?
选项
A、He was the only survivor in that tragedy.
B、He was the key to all questions about that tragedy.
C、He was only interviewed by a big and influential newspaper but felt regretted soon.
D、He used to serve in the army.
答案
C
解析
细节理解题。文章第一段指出,他是那次车祸中唯一的幸存者,人们都认为他是解答当晚一切谜团的关键,第二段开头有提到了他曾经是一名伞兵,故A、B、D都正确。C错在他的确接受过一次采访,随后就后悔了,但是对方是一家小报(tabloid),而非大型的、有影响的报纸。
