4.I am from Missouri.
这句话有时后面要加一句:「I need to be shown.」或「You have got to show me.」,意思是 Missouri 州的人很固执 (stubborn),不太信任别人,一定要人家「证明一下」(prove it to me),所以密苏里州也被称为「The Show Me State」.
据说这句话所以流行 (尤其在美国中西部) 是因为美国一些名人都住过密苏里州,包括 Harry Truman,Mark Twain,Walt Disney 等.后来老外不轻易相信别人时,就使用这句话.(也有半开玩笑性质) 例如:
He is not easily convinced because he is from Missouri.(他是来自密苏里州,所以不容易说服他.)
Don't try to fool me; I am from Missouri.(You have got to show me.) (别愚弄我,我是来自密苏里州.)
We are all from Missouri; we need to be shown.
As Mr.Smith is a tough guy; he must be from Missouri.(Smith先生是位倔强的人,他一定是来自密苏里州.)
(主词可用任何人称代名词 you,he,she,we,they 等
