"Doctor," she said loudly, bouncing into the room, "I want you to say frankly what's wrong with me."
“醫(yī)生”她沖進(jìn)屋后大聲說道。“我想讓你坦率地說我到底得了什么病。”
He surveyed her from head to foot. "Madam," he said at length, "I've just three things to tell you. First, your weight wants reducing by nearly fifty pounds. Second, your beauty could be improved if you used about one tenth as much rouge and lipstick. And third, I'm an artist---the doctor lives downstairs."
他從頭到腳打量打量她,然后說:“太太,我有三件事要對你說。第一,您的體重需要減少大約50磅;第二,如果您要用上十分之一的胭脂和口紅,您的美貌將會改變。第三,我是一位畫家——醫(yī)生住在樓下。”
