Dick Whittington

/ˌdɪk ˈwɪtɪŋtən/
- (died 1423) Lord Mayor of London three times (1397-98, 1406-7 and 1419-20). Most British people know the stories about him: that he was running away from London when he was a boy, but thought he heard the church bells telling him to 'Turn again, Whittington, Lord Mayor of London', and that he became rich by selling his cat to a foreign king. The story of his life is a popular subject for pantomimes.
迪克·惠廷顿(Dick Whittington):(死于1423年)三度任伦敦市长(1397-98、1406-7和1419-20)。大多数英国人都知道有关他的故事:小时候他正逃离伦敦,但以为他听到教堂的钟声告诉他“伦敦市长惠廷顿再次转身”,并且他因把他的猫卖给外国国王。他一生的故事是哑剧中的热门话题。
