某次宴会中,朋友看见邱吉尔夫妇对坐无言。不久,大名鼎鼎的首相把食指和中指弯曲起来放在桌面,向他太太的方向匍匐前去。朋友很好奇,问他在做什么。夫妇俩微笑不答。宴毕,邱吉尔太太悄悄告诉朋友:“出门前,我们发生了争执,刚才他那个动作,是表示他正跪在地上,爬行来向我道歉。” At a party, friends saw the Churchill couple sitting silent. Soon after, the famous Prime Minister curved his index finger and middle finger on the tabletop, creeping toward his wife. My friend is curious and asks him what he is doing. The couple did not smile. When dinner was over, Mrs. Churchill quietly told my friend: “Before we went out we were in a dispute. What he said just now was that he was kneeling on the ground and crawling to apologize to me.”
