回答: APAD: Every man has his price 由 7grizzly 於 2024-01-06 10:01:39

""every man has his price" is apparently a mis-quote of a remark by Robert Walpole, made in 1734, that "I know the price of every man in this house (i.e. the House of Commons) except three", although it is believed that the phrase was in common use before this time."

• Thanks. It's obviously a stretch from Walpole's quote. -7grizzly- ♀ 給 7grizzly 發送悄悄話 7grizzly 的博客首頁 (0 bytes) () 01/06/2024 postreply 18:53:49
