章节摘录
Marriage Proposal to Beernard Shaw/向肖伯纳求婚 1.Marriage Proposal to Beernard Shaw Once a beautiful and dissolute British actrcss wrote to pro- pose marriage to Bemard Shaw. She said she did not mind Bemard Shaws old age and ugliness because he was a genius. And if they could combine the beauty of the woman with the tal- ents 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 imaginaion was splendid, "But, what if the children take my appearance and your wisdom? " 1.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?”
