他是谁？
He was born in England.
He was a son of a British statesman.
He was never considered as an obedient and excellent student in school but a rebellious one.
He decided to pursue his military career and took three tries to pass the examination for the British Royal Military College(英国皇家军事学院).
He became a war correspondent in 1899 and was once taken prisoner while reporting on the Boer War, but, fortunately, he made his legendary escape from the prison.
He was a member of the British Parliament, a supporter of social reform and introduced several reforms such as the first minimum wage and unemployment insurance.
He said:“ a pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.”
He was a famous writer, a painter and won Nobel Prize for Literature.
He was appointed as British prime minister and minister of defense during the Second World War.
He stood firmly in the House of Commons and delivered many persuasive,inspiring speeches to fight against the Nazis as clouds of war darkened over Europe. But one of his iconic oratories which I can never forget goes like this: We shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be; we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender...
Do you have any idea who he is?
If you can’t figure out his name, here the answer is
温斯顿·丘吉尔（Winston Churchill）
