书籍介绍
We have had diaries from other Cabinet Ministers, but none I think which have been quite so illuminating... It is a fascinating diary... It is shorter than Barbara Castle's... and although it is rather more accurate than Dick Crossman's, it is distinctly funnier' - Lord Allen of Abbeydale (formerly Permanent Secretary at the Home Office) in The Times 'It has an entertainment and educational value which is unique. It is uproariously funny and passes the acid test of becoming more amusing at every subsequent reading... I will go so far as to claim that in the characters of Jim Hacker and Sir Humphrey Appleby, Messrs Lynn and Jay have created something as immortal as P.G. Wodehouse's Bertie Wooster and Jeeves' - Brian Walden in The Standard

断断续续看了两个星期，词汇五花八门又长得很像最终就记住了一个patronise。如果没有先看剧的话应该很多梗都get不到吧？
从另一个角度看，这也许可以看作是一场Latin与Anglo-Saxon的较量呢。
边读边回味电视剧的情形, 真美好.

The distinctive British-flavored language, though presumably not originally intended for the print, achieved a rich absurdity through a hodge-podge of colloquialisms, bureaucratic formalities, cliches, and gobbledygook. Remarkably, the total # of short structures(phrases, idioms, and all that) is roughly estimated at well above 2000. Amazing
还是英文的好，中文版的翻的一点味道也没有了
Yes,Minster 是一场官僚和政客的交锋。但是在Her Majesty的大背景下，这种交锋显得那么可爱。
最爱的英剧的衍生小说。《是!首相》《是!大臣》系列我还能再看他个八百遍
