read my lips

閱讀筆記：

George Bush the elder, “Bush 41,” probably did not have to promise “no new taxes” in order to get elected, but once he had implored us to “read my lips,” his contrary and ill-fated decision made him a marked man. 美國第四十一任總統老布希（George Bush）也許不必保證「不徵新稅」也會當選，但一旦他拜託我們「仔細聽好」，後來就不該自食其言，做出惹人厭的決定，從此惹來異樣的眼光。（摘自《Judgment》（博客來網路書店的中文網頁介紹或Amazon.com的英文網頁介紹）
