词汇 biggest bribe
词源
biggest bribe. Probably the first major French writer to live entirely by his pen (Pope was the first English champion), Alain- René Lesage (1668–1747) followed in the footsteps of Molière, producing over 60 farces and librettos in addition to his mas- terpiece, Gil Blas, one of the greatest foreign influences in En- glish comedy. Lesage’s comedy Turcaret satirized French finan- ciers so scathingly that several Parisian moneylenders offered him 100,000 francs if he would refuse to let the play go onstage. Though the shrewd Lesage valued money as much as anyone, to his credit he turned down the offer and the play went on as scheduled. The moneylenders next tried the cast, but they re- fused the bribe, too.
