麻烦提供几个丘吉尔的故事、趣闻(一定是英文的)
呵呵手上有几个丘吉尔的轶事:-
1.Lady Astor and Winston Churchill met at a social function.(They had a history,it seems,of not getting along very well.) Lady Astor went up to him and said,"Sir Winston,if you were my husband,I'd poison your coffee." To which he replied,"Madam,if you were my wife,I'd drink it."
2.Another time,at a party,Sir Winston had been imbibing a bit more than usual and was showing the effects.One of the other guests - a woman not on his list of favorites - came up to him and said,"YOU,sir,are drunk!" To which he replied,"And you,madam,are ugly,but tomorrow I shall be sober."
3.Winston Churchill was criticized for ending a sentence with a preposition.(注:有个说法是,用前置词做句子结尾的就不是规范的英文.)
Anyway,Sir Winston was upset over the negative remark and responded loudly,"Criticism is one thing up with which I will not put!"
