Since a politician never believes what he says, he is surprised when others believe him.
由于政客自己都不相信自己的话,因此要是有人相信他,他自己才觉得怪呢!
Politicians have a reputation of being liars, a fact that prompted Charles de Gaulle to say, “Since a politician never believes what he says, he is surprised when others believe him.” Even a politician doesn’t believe what he himself says. He, therefore, would be surprised if others believed him.
众所周知,政客是出了名的骗子,这个事实促使法国故总统戴高乐说了这句名言:“由于政客自己都不相信自己的话,因此要是有人相信他,他自己才觉得怪呢!”连政客都不相信他自己说的话。因此,若有别人相信他,他会感到很惊讶。
