9. George Washington
Quote: “I cannot tell a lie. It was I who chopped down the cherry tree.”
Washington never said this. In fact, the story was first told in the 1800s by biographer Parson Weems. In Weems book, the tree was not “chopped down”.
喬治·華盛頓
引語:我不能說謊。是我砍倒了那棵櫻桃樹。
華盛頓從沒說過這句話。事實上,19世紀(jì)初傳記作家帕森·威姆斯最先講述了這個故事。在他的書中,那棵樹沒有被砍倒。
