永远ever[英]['evə(r)] [美][ˈɛvɚ] 有一次，威尔伯佛斯做国会议员候选人，他的妹妹帮助他搞竞选运动。那时候，行贿和腐败法案尚未拟定；因此，这位妹妹提出愿意送一件新衣服给每一个投她哥哥票的男人的妻子。这项提议使选民们极为满意。在一次集会上，人们高呼：“威尔伯佛斯小姐万岁！”该女士迅速从讲台上她的坐椅上站起来，说： “噢，请别这么说。我可不想永远做威尔伯佛斯小姐。” Wilberforce stood for Parliament on one occasion， and hissister helped him with his election campaign． The Bribery andCorruption Acts had not been framed in those days ; consequently， the sister offered to give a new dress to the wife of every man who voted for her brother． This offer pleased the voters immensely， and at one meeting there went up a cry of“Miss Wilberforce for ever！”The lady in question rosequickly from her chair on the platform and said： “Oh，please，don't.
