丘吉爾語錄
during world warⅡ, an aide read to churchill an account in a tabloid: a 75-year-old man on a january day with the temperature 35o below freezing had propositioned a 19-year-old girl to have sex on the grass in hyde park. churchill remarked:"over 75! below-zero temperature! it makes you proud to be an englishman!"
in 1940, when the first destroyers arrived under america's lend-lease program to britain, churchill went to inspect them. he looked at the decidedly overaged rust buckets and grumbled in a whisper,"cheap and nasty."＊ harry hopkins, the american president's right-hand man, was startled by the remark, and queried,"what was that?" churchill amended loudly,"cheap for us, and nasty for the germans."
