卡尔文·柯立芝Calvin Coolidge
1872–1933 · 美国 · 第 30 任总统1872–1933 · USA · 30th President · Calvin Coolidge
他被称为「沉默的卡尔」。据传在一次晚宴上，一位女士对他说：我打赌，我能让您说出超过两个字。柯立芝看了她一眼，回答：You lose.——你输了。正好两个词。他在任期间话少得出名，记者们最难熬的事就是采访他。He was known as “Silent Cal”. At a dinner, a woman is said to have told him: I bet I can get more than two words out of you. Coolidge looked at her and replied: “You lose.” Exactly two words. In office he was famously sparing with words — interviewing him was the hardest part of a reporter's job.
「You lose.」“You lose.”
入选理由：他把「少说两句」变成了一种国家元首的作风。Why they are here: He turned “say less” into the working style of a head of state.
