Marriage Proposal to Bernard Shaw
Once a beautiful and dissolute British actress wrote to propose marriage to Bernard Shaw． She said she did not mindBernard Shaw's old age and ugliness because he was a genius． And if they could combine the beauty of the woman with the talents of the great man,that would be greatly harmonious． “With your wisdom and my appearance,our children must be perfect．”
Bernard Shaw answered,in a letter,that her imagination wassplendid,“But,what if the children take my appearance and yourwisdom?”
向肖伯纳求婚
英国有位美貌风流的女演员,曾写信向肖伯纳求婚.她说,因为他是个天才,她不嫌肖伯纳年迈丑陋.假如能使女郎的美貌和超人的天才结合,那该是多么协调啊.“咱们的后代有你的智慧和我的美貌,那一定是十全十美了.”
肖伯纳给她回了一封信说,她的想象很是美妙,“可是,假如生下的孩子外貌象我,而智慧又象你,那又该怎么办呢?”
再问： 还有吗？
再答： Is it far? Ali, who was working a long way from home, wanted to send a letter to his wife, but he could neither read nor write, and he had to work all day, so he could only look for somebody to write his letter late at night. At last he found the house of a letter-writer whose name was Nasreddin. Nasreddin was already in bed. 'It is late,' he said. 'What do you want?' 'I want you to write a letter to my wife,' said Ali. Nasreddin was not pleased. He thought for a few seconds and then said, 'Has the letter got to go far?' 'What does that matter?' answered Ali. 'Well, my writing is so strange that only I can read it, and if I have to travel a long way to read your letter to your wife, it will cost you a lot of money.' Ali went away quickly. 再给你一个： 闹饥荒的原因 在一次宴会上，一个资本家用遗憾的目光上下打量着瘦骨嶙峋的肖伯纳，一本正经地说：“看看你的模样，真叫人以为英国人都在挨饿。” 肖伯纳审视着大腹便便的资本家说：“但是，我一见到你，就知道英国正在闹饥荒的原因了。” 2．The Reason of the Famine In one dinner party，a capitalist eyed bony Bernard Shawup and down regretfully， and said in all seriousness，“Look atyour appearance，it really makes people believe that all the Britishare starving．” Bernard Shaw，examining the potbellied capitalist，said，“But，I know as soon as I saw you the reason why Britain is suf－fering from famine．”
