美国前总统小布什“雷人语录”（中英对照）来源：21英语网 日期: 2010-12-09美国人最近做了一项调查，结果显示，小布什获评美国最不受欢迎的在世前总统。64岁的共和党人布什被戏称为Dubya(小布什姓名中W的谐称，因小布什经常将W发音为“dubya”，故人们用此昵称嘲讽他的德克萨斯口音)。小布什在任期间曾发动反恐战争，在他任期内还爆发了金融危机，所以被人们选为近50年来最不受欢迎的在世美国总统。但他留给了美国乃至全世界一大笔遗产，那就是令人难忘的“雷人语录”。以下是布什语录精选：“得州牛仔”篇 "They misunderestimated me,"- Bentonville, Arkansas, November 6, 2000“他们错误低估（misunderestimate）了我。”2000年11月6日在阿肯色州本特维尔"There's an old saying in Tennessee - I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee - that says, fool me once, shame on . shame on you.
