President Theodore Roosevelt's enthusiasm for exercise posed a continual challenge to Washington's diplomatic corps.On White House's visit，Jusserand was invited-after two sets of tennis-to go jogging.A workout with the medicine ball followed.Then，his guest's enthusiasm apparently flagging，Roosevelt asked，“What would you like to do now？”
“If it's all the same to you.”the exhausted Frenchman sighed，“lie down and die.”

这位筋疲力尽的法国人叹气道：“躺下，死去……”
