I am from Missouri. 这句话有时后面要加一句：「I need to be shown.」或「You have got to show me.」，意思是 Missouri 州的人很固执 (stubborn)，不太信任别人，一定要人家「证明一下」(prove it to me)，所以密苏里州也被称为「The Show Me State」。  据说这句话所以流行 (尤其在美国中西部) 是因为美国一些名人都住过密苏里州，包括 Harry Truman, Mark Twain, Walt Disney 等。后来老外不轻易相信别人时，就使用这句话。(也有半开玩笑性质) 例如： 4. clock in 打卡  Dont forget to clock in,otherwise you wont get paid. 别忘了打卡，否则领不到钱。 6. .come easily 易如反掌 。 7. .push around . 欺骗 8. keep ones shirt on 　保持冷静 Keep your shirt on.
