[J-43] Nothing
to Hide
无可遮掩
Once Churchill visited America and stayed at Roosevelt's
house for the night. The next morning he was caught stark naked by Roosevelt. Just as Roosevelt was about to withdraw so as
not to embarrass his guest, came this off-the-cuff remark by Churchill: “The Prime Minister of England has nothing to
hide from the President of the United States.”
[译注]
有一次丘吉尔访问美国而待在罗斯福的家里过夜。隔天早晨他被罗斯福撞见全身赤裸。正当罗斯福即将退回去以免困窘客人时，传来了丘吉尔这个即兴的评论：「英国首相跟美国总统之间没什么可遮掩。」
注：stark naked
(一丝不挂、十足赤裸)， withdraw (撤回、走回)， embarrass (使困窘)， off-the-cuff (即兴的)。
