Off-the-cuff Remarks 丘吉尔的即兴妙语
Be wisely worldly, be not worldly wise. ——Francis Quarles
要善于处事，不要老于世故。——弗朗西斯·夸尔斯
One of the great wits of last century was Sir Winston Churchill, the late former British Prime Minister. He was an author, an orator, as well as the best known statesman. He was comparable by no one with his off-the-cuff remarks.
On one of his visits to America, he was the house guest of President Roosevelt. One morning, he was caught stark naked by the President. Immediately Mr. Roosevelt tried to withdraw so as not to embarrass his guest. Churchill, as befitting his position, declared: “The Prime Minister of United Kingdom has nothing to hide from the President of the United States.”
On one muggy summer afternoon, during a lengthy debate in the House of Commons, Mr Churchill apparently dozed off. One of his colleagues whispered to his neighbor. “The man is really getting old. He can’t walk. He can’t talk. He can’t see.” Without opening his eyes, Churchill interjected: “They also say he cannot hear either.”
An irate woman member of the opposition party once in a Parliament session said to Churchill: “If you were my husband, I would put poison in your tea.”
“If you were my wife, I would gladly drink it.” snapped back Churchill.
The best known statement made by Mr. Churchill was probably his pronouncement in praise of British Royal Air Force and their achievements in world war II: “Never in the field of human conflict has so much been owed by so many to so few.”
off-the-cuff 即席的，即兴的 orator （拉丁文）演说家 statesman 政治家 stark naked 一丝不挂的 withdraw 离开，撤离 muggy 闷热的 doze off 睡着 interject 打断，插话 parliament 议会 snap 反讽
英国已故首相温斯顿·丘吉尔是上世纪智慧最超群的大师之一。他不仅是最出名的政治家，还是作家和演讲家。他的即兴妙 语更是无人能及。
一次，丘吉尔出访美国时被邀请到罗斯福总统家中做客。一天清晨，罗斯福总统无意中看到了一丝不挂的丘吉尔。罗斯福总统本想马上转身离开，好让丘吉尔不感到尴尬；几乎在同一时间，丘吉尔以英国首相的口吻宣称：“英国首相在美利坚合众国总统面前，从不会掩藏任何事情。”
一个闷热的夏日午后，英国下议院正在进行一场冗长的辩论。而丘吉尔却显而易见地打起了瞌睡。
一位同僚发现了，小声对他的邻座说：“那家伙真是老了，他走不动了，口齿不清了，又老眼昏花”闭着眼睛的丘吉尔，突然插话说：“别人还说他耳聋呢！”
一次议院开会时，一位来自反对党的女议员怒气冲冲地对丘吉尔说：“如果你是我的丈夫，我一定会在你的茶里下毒。”
“如果你是我的太太，我一定会笑着喝下去的。”丘吉尔反讽道。
丘吉尔先生一生发表的最著名的演说大概是他在第二次世界大战期间为英国空军部队庆功时的精彩致辞：“在人类斗争的领域，从来没有取得过如此以少胜多的战绩。”
丘吉尔的仕途并非是一帆风顺的。1922年，他因为做了阑尾切除手术，而无法到处演讲，失去如此重要的“武器”， 他的政治生涯进入了低谷。那一年的竞选，他落败了。朋友们来拜访他时，他说道：“一转眼，我忽然发现我已经没有了职务，没有了党派，没有了职位，甚至还没有阑尾。”本 来大家都一副沉闷的表情，听他这么一说，一下子变得轻松起来。
