豪斯是美国第28任总统伍德罗·威尔逊的助理。有一天,威尔逊总统单独召见他,同他商量一个问题。这个问题恰恰是豪斯早已深思熟虑过的,于是他便开始了滔滔不绝的长篇游说,讲得慷慨激昂、眉飞色舞。他为自己能酝酿出如此高明的计划而得意,并不断地对威尔逊总统强调:“这可是我精心研究过的,你采纳我的建议绝对不会有错!” House is an assistant to the 28th president of the United States, Woodrow Wilson. One day, President Wilson summoned him alone and discussed with him a question. This problem is exactly what House has long considered, so he began a long, endless, long talk, impassioned and enraptured. He was proud of being able to brew such a brilliant plan and constantly stressed to President Wilson: “It was a study I had done, and you would definitely not go wrong with my advice!”
