词汇 peace with honor
词源
peace with honor. The great British statesman Lord Bea- consfield (Disraeli) made this phrase popular in a speech he gave after returning from the Congress of Berlin in 1878, which Bismarck chaired as “the honest broker” (his own phrase). Said Disraeli: “Lord Salisbury [the foreign minister] and myself have brought you back peace—but a peace I hope with honour, which may satisfy our Sovereign and tend to the welfare of the country.” Similar words, however, had been used by Shake- speare in Coriolanus almost 300 years earlier.
