史上十大绝妙反驳：不动声色堵死你

10. An English Comeback 英式反驳

Nancy Astor was an American socialite who married into the wealthy English family of Astor. She actually was the first woman to be elected to Parliament, which makes her humiliation all the sweeter. She was invited to 1912 a dinner party located in the Churchill estate, but, unfortunately for her, she became extremely annoyed at a drunk and politically incorrect Winston Churchill. Finally, she exclaimed the following: “Winston, if you were my husband, I’d put poison in your coffee.” Unaffected by her sudden outburst, Churchill moderately and quickly replied with a great comeback:
南茜·阿斯特是嫁入英国阿斯特家族的美国名媛，事实上她也是第一位入选国会的女性，这样看起来虽然她在丘吉尔面前丢脸了，也无伤大雅。1912年，南茜受邀到丘吉尔的府邸参加晚宴，不过她很不幸，她对着喝醉的丘吉尔，再想到与其在政治上的意见分歧，越发恼火，最后南茜说出下面这句话：“温斯顿，你要是我丈夫，我早在你的咖啡里下毒了。”可是丘吉尔对南茜的突然爆发表现得无动于衷，他很快很平常地回了一句：

“Nancy, if you were my wife I’d drink it.”
“南茜，你要是我夫人，我肯定会喝的。”
