大家都知道一位女士是丘吉尔在议会的主要对手,这位女士在演说时,丘吉尔以他一贯对对手的热情,打起盹来。她停下演说,大声把丘吉尔叫醒:“Mr.Churchill,must you sleep while I talk?”(丘吉尔先生,我讲话时你一定要睡觉吗?)丘吉尔懒洋洋答道:“No,ma’am.I do so purely by choice.”(不一定,夫人,我这么做纯粹是自己的选择。) As we all know, a lady is Churchill’s main rival in Parliament. During a speech, Churchill took a nap with his usual enthusiasm for her opponents. She stopped her speech and yelled Churchill aloud: “Mr.Churchill, must you sleep while I talk? ” (Churchill, do you have to sleep when I speak?) Churchill lazily replied: “No, ma’am.I do so purely by choice. ”(Not necessarily, ma’am, I did it purely for myself.)
