Winston Churchill
A member of the House of Commons got up in a debateand said that Winston Churchill was evidently suffering from beriberi,as a sign of that disease was a swollen head.
Afterwards Churchill corrected the member and said that swollen feet, not head, were the sign.
"That makes no difference," was the reply. "All I meant to convey was that you were too big for your boots."
温斯顿·邱吉尔
一位下院议员在辩论中站起来说温斯顿·邱吉尔显然是得了脚气病,因为脚气病的一个症状就是头脑发涨。
后来邱吉尔纠正了这个议员的话,说该症状是两脚肿胀,而不是头脑发胀。
“那没什么区别,”这是他得到的回答。“我想说的是你太自大。”
