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”.

乔治·华盛顿

引语：我不能说谎。是我砍倒了那棵樱桃树。

华盛顿从没说过这句话。事实上，19世纪初传记作家帕森·威姆斯最先讲述了这个故事。在他的书中，那棵树没有被砍倒。
