Q: What are the best comebacks when s...
这篇在翻译的时候是需要找背景资料的，原文中关于对话双方的内容并不完整，然后只是挑出了句子可能并不能很好理解，善良的我给你找来了很多相关的小故事：
（注：故事流传可能版本不一致，所以大部分都是找的两个故事，比较长，但是当小故事读起来也不费劲）
1.1 Senator Charles Sumner of Massachusetts called at the White House early one morning. He was told that the President was downstairs, that he could go right down. He found the President polishing his boots. Somewhat amazed, Senator Sumner said, "Why, Mr. President, do you black your own boots?" With a vigorous rub of the brush, the President replied, "Whose boots did you think I blacked?"
1.2 Lincoln was a humble man. A high government official once discovered Lincoln polishing his own boots. "Mr. President, gentlemen don't black their own boots," was the protest. Lincoln looked up and innocently replied, "No? Whose boots do they black?"
2.1 Wilkes was extremely ugly and had a dreadful squint but he was very witty. During one of his fights with the government he was invited to make up a table at cards but declined, saying: 'Do not ask me, for I am so ignorant that I cannot tell the difference between a king and a knave.' The Earl of Sandwich's comment that Wilkes would die either of the pox or on the gallows brought the response: 'That depends, my lord, whether I embrace your mistress or your principles.'
2.2 In a famous exchange with John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich, where the latter exclaimed, "Sir, I do not know whether you will die on the gallows or of the pox," Wilkes is reported to have replied, "That depends, my lord, on whether I embrace your lordship's principles or your mistress."
3.1 In 1942, actress Ilka Chase, who had just written her autobiography, "Past Imperfect,'' received this barb from an actor: "I thought your book was wonderful. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed it. By the way, who wrote it for you?'' Chase replied, "I'm so glad you liked it. By the way, who read it to you?''
4.1 However, by far the most famous quotations attributed to her are taken from alleged exchanges between her and Winston Churchill, though, like the statements above, these are not well documented and may be misattributed. Examples include an instance in which Churchill is supposed to have told Lady Astor that having a woman in Parliament was like having one intrude on him in the bathroom, to which she retorted, "You’re not handsome enough to have such fears." Lady Astor is also said to have responded to a question from Churchill about what disguise he should wear to a masquerade ball by saying, "Why don't you come sober, Prime Minister?" Possibly the most famous of all such anecdotes reports that Lady Astor said to Churchill, "If you were my husband, I'd poison your tea," to which he responded, "Madam, if you were my wife, I'd drink it!" The retort is variously attributed, but is apparently actually due to Churchill's great friend F. E. Smith, Lord Birkenhead.
4.2 Nancy Astor was an American socialite who married into an English branch of the wealthy Astor family (she holds the distinction of being the first woman to be seated in Parliament). At a 1912 dinner party in Blenheim Palace—the Churchill family estate—Lady Astor became annoyed at an inebriated Winston Churchill, who was pontificating on some topic. Unable to take any more, she finally blurted out, "Winston, if you were my husband, I'd put poison in your coffee." Without missing a beat, Churchill replied, “Nancy, if you were my wife, I'd drink it.”

居然多到放不下了……
5.1 ABRAHAM LINCOLN was a paradoxical figure to the many artists who portrayed him. He felt ignorant about art, admitted to having an “unpracticed eye,” and he was given to publicly mocking his appearance. Once accused during a debate with Stephen Douglas of being two-faced, Lincoln is said to have replied, "If I had another face, do you think I’d wear this one?"
5.2 In 1860, Abraham Lincoln wrote, “In [my] tenth year, [I] was kicked by a horse and apparently killed for a time.”[1]
There is no clinical proof that the injury had any lasting effects, but for whatever reason, Lincoln’s face was different than most. When accused of being two-faced, Lincoln replied: "If I had another face, do you think I would wear this one?"
7.1 One day, she arrived at the Algonquin Hotel wearing a suit that was very similar to one that the English actor No?l Coward was wearing. Ferber and Coward were friends (she once described him as her favorite theater companion) and Coward saw an opportunity to engage in a bit of playful badinage with one of his favorite people. Carefully looking her over, he observed, "Edna, you look almost like a man." Ferber looked Coward over in a similar manner and came back with a classic riposte, "So do you."
8.1 Winston Churchill makes this list again. In his early career, he was at a meeting and another member was giving a long-winded speech. Churchill began to close his eyes and fall asleep. At the sight of this, the member became visibly angry and shouted: “Mr. Churchill, must you fall asleep while I’m speaking?”
Instead of making attempts at an apology or a cover-up, Churchill simply replied, "No, it’s purely voluntary."
9.1 In a profession noted for windbags, the 30th U. S. President Calvin Coolidge was a politician of very few words, well deserving the nickname, "Silent Cal" (he once said, "I've never been hurt by something I didn't say"). Coolidge's taciturn style frustrated the many people around him who felt a man of his stature should be more talkative. At a White House dinner one evening, a female guest sidled up to the President and whispered in his ear, "You must talk to me, Mr. President. I made a bet today that I could get more than two words out of you." Coolidge whispered back, "You lose."

Q: What are the best comebacks when s...
首先人名要补全，这个我就不帮你补了哈，小故事里面已经都给出来了～说点翻译上的：
Here are some of the best comebacks I have read in the history …
下面是我读过的一些历史上很绝妙的反驳。
Diplomat，外交官。使节好像略久远……
You black your own boots?
其实我觉得单纯翻译的话，翻成“你自己擦皮鞋啊？”就好，不过为了对应林肯的回复，我翻译成了“你给自己擦皮鞋啊？” - “是啊，那你给谁擦皮鞋呢？”
Sir, I do not know whether you will die on the gallows or of the pox.
真不知道你是会死于绞刑还是瘟疫。感觉尽量简短一点吧，你觉不觉得，不管是侮辱还是反击，话太长气势都会弱掉。
另外，后面英文用embrace是一词多义，翻译的时候还是要分开。信奉你的准则，还是抱着你的情妇？
Nancy, if you were my wife, I’d drink it.
我有看到翻译成甘之如饴的，这边还是表示愿意，但不一定是速度什么的，如果你是我老婆，那就算有毒我也会喝的。不过喝之前可以调戏一下？【哔——
I leave it to my audience. If I had another face, do you think I would wear this one?
这个故事的背景是别人批评林肯虚伪，是个两面派。另外，林肯十岁的时候被马踢过，脸和大多数人长得都不太一样，简单的说就是有点丑啦～这里就是借自己的容貌反驳别人的话，“我让大家来说说，如果我还有张脸，你觉得我还会用这张吗？”
看到一个翻译版本，“如果我有两张脸，你觉得为什么我现在脸是这样？”
Anonymous Singer，这里anonymous指已经无法确定这个歌手是谁了，而不是匿名
You look almost like a man.
这个故事的背景是Ferber穿了一套女式西装，据其中一个故事说，这套衣服和Coward的很像，他俩其实是朋友，科沃德就觉得机会难得，调侃了她一句，“你看起来真像个男的”，于是Ferber说，“你也是啊”。
Mr. Churchill, must you fall asleep while I’m speaking?
这句话反驳的重点在must，“丘吉尔先生，你一定要在我讲话的时候睡着吗？”“不，这纯粹是自愿的。”or“这是纯自愿的。”
Mr. Coolidge, I've made a bet against a fellow who said it was impossible to get more than two words out of you.
人家是位女士，那个时候出席重大场合是会很注意用语细节的，fellow当然可以说是小伙伴，但我觉得这里翻译成朋友就可以了，“我和朋友打了个赌，他说你不可能对我说超过两个字。”
回答的话，说“你输”好像不太对，如果只是说“输了”呢？
总的来说吧，这些都是在对话中出现的绝妙反驳，说话再注意，很多地方也是口语，翻译的时候可以注意下口语化，最重要的是，你可以想想如果是自己说这句话，你会怎么说？
首先人名要补全，这个我就不帮你补了哈，小故事里面已经都给出来了～说点翻译上的：...
翻译方式不一样吧。
外交使节貌似只是一种官职称呼，现在仍然使用额。
①国内外交部的官员，如外交部长以下的各种官员，掌管一国对外关系方面的各种事务。
②本国派驻外国的外交人员，如大使、公使、代办、参赞、秘书以及武官、商务代表等。
有时外交官单指后者。外交官在驻在国享有外交特权和优遇。
能和总统这么谈话的估计翻译成使节更好一些，
或者说两者其实都可以使用，只是你的语感习惯问题。
这里我更倾向于我的翻译，因为这种情况，他以一种难以置信却又讽刺的语气，
在强调着“你确定你在擦你的皮鞋？”
embrace同意。第一个长短的问题，我的理解是，你看看这位贵族以一种高姿态讽刺地询问着，
不是那种慢慢的看似弱弱的更有不屑的意味在里面吗？
脑补一下：贵族欣赏着自己刚打磨完的指甲，曼斯条理不屑地说……
南希是位女权主义者，调戏下不太好吧，而且我在“老婆、老公”和“妻子、丈夫”
之间犹豫了半天，最终还是想保持他的略幽默有不失范儿的形象。
竟然没读出神马差别，言语能力严重退化了，囧rz……
同意，某歌手。
好心的帮我翻译了故事，我又看了一遍，当你确定你毒舌不过损友时，
千万不要自讨没趣，要找更弱的去发挥你毒舌的本领╮(╯▽╰)╭
不知道是White House dinner额。
但是不是耳语么？整句的语气都挺轻松的，“家伙”真得不成么？
“输了”没有主语指向不明啊！“你输了”必须加“了”表结果额，目前无解╮(╯▽╰)╭
翻译方式不一样吧。外交使节貌似只是一种官职称呼，现在仍然使用额。①国内外...
2.根据柯林斯，A diplomat is a senior official who discusses affairs with another country on behalf of his or her own country, usually working as a member of an embassy.
嗯……可能我还是比较习惯外交官，如果说使节的话，脑子里面突然跑出了文成公主什么什么的怎么破？
3.找出来的故事流传版本很多，比如列出来的两个，一个是“你为什么自己擦鞋子”，一个是“有身份的人是不会自己擦鞋子的”，加上给字是和林肯的回复对应。
说起来为什么我今天再看就觉得你那样也挺好？？
4.长度的问题，嗯，如果长，一定是有铺垫，后面的某个地方会是点睛之笔，让人发现中了埋伏这样，慢悠悠看似弱弱的，如果功力不好很容易变成作还有真的就弱掉了……（好像从翻译上升到了奇怪的层次）
5.我没让你真的翻译成老婆，捂脸，痞气上身了一下，请无视……如果真是自己老婆，牵牵小手也没啥吧？我统称为调戏……
6.啊，这个我就是解释了一下两张脸和用脸反驳的原因……你不是懒得读么……
其实有好几个地方，我改是因为觉得读着不太顺口……（而且好像今天看和昨天看的感觉很不一样啊）
翻译方式不一样吧。外交使节貌似只是一种官职称呼，现在仍然使用额。①国内外...
如果回答“是吗”呢？也是两个字哎！
2.根据柯林斯，A diplomat is a senior official...
2.其实林肯那时候对应的是中国清朝，使节比较正宗，
但我们是现代人，这个听不惯，就用外交官吧。
其实我能说最高等级的外交官就叫做“大使”么，有没有觉得高大上了？
3.4.5.6昨天在吵架，今天被表白，就是酱紫~~╮(╯▽╰)╭
PS：其实6那条对应的是8，你翻译并概括了全段，谁说我懒╭(╯^╰)╮
如果回答“是吗”呢？也是两个字哎！...
额，我觉得你已经在为“you lose”难受了好久……
是咩？哎呦！呵呵！
