2. Paul Revere
Quote: “The British are coming!”
According to Wikipedia, Revere's mission depended on secrecy and the countryside was filled with British army patrols; also, most colonial residents at the time considered themselves British. The quotation is more likely based on (although not taken verbatim from) the later famous poem “Paul Revere's Ride.”
保罗·瑞维尔
引语:英国人来了。
根据维基百科,瑞维尔的任务要求保密,乡间到处是英国军队的巡逻队,而且在那个时候大多数殖民地居民认为自己是英国人。这个引语更可能是根据(虽然不是一字不差的出自)后来的著名的诗篇《保罗·瑞维尔骑马来》。
