【課文】
People will do anything to see a free show -- even if it is a bad one. When the news got round that a comedy show would be presented at our local cinema by the P. and U. Bird Seed Company, we all rushed to see it. We had to queue for hours to get in and there must have been several hundred people present just before the show began. Unfortunately, the show was one of the dullest we have ever seen. Those who failed to get in need not have felt disappointed, as many of the artistes who should have appeared did not come. The only funny things we heard that evening came from the advertiser at the beginning of the programme. He was obviously very nervous and for some minutes stood awkwardly before the microphone. As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone burst out laughing. We all know what the poor man should have said, but what he actually said was:‘This is the Poo and Ee Seed Bird Company. Good ladies, evening and gentlemen!’
人們會(huì)想盡辦法去看一場(chǎng)免費(fèi)演出——哪怕是拙劣的演出。當(dāng)“皮尤”鳥(niǎo)食公司將在我們當(dāng)?shù)赜霸貉莩鱿矂」?jié)目的消息傳開(kāi)后,我們都趕緊跑去觀看。我們排了好幾個(gè)小時(shí)的隊(duì)才得以入場(chǎng),演出開(kāi)始前現(xiàn)場(chǎng)估計(jì)已有好幾百人。遺憾的是,這是我們看過(guò)的最乏味的演出之一。沒(méi)擠進(jìn)場(chǎng)的人其實(shí)大可不必失望,因?yàn)樵S多本該登臺(tái)的演員都沒(méi)來(lái)。當(dāng)晚唯一有趣的事發(fā)生在節(jié)目開(kāi)始時(shí)那個(gè)報(bào)幕員的開(kāi)場(chǎng)白。他顯然非常緊張,在麥克風(fēng)前尷尬地站了好幾分鐘。剛一張口,大家就哄堂大笑。我們都明白那個(gè)可憐的人應(yīng)該說(shuō)些什么,可他實(shí)際說(shuō)的是:“這是‘浦伊’鳥(niǎo)食公司,好女士們,晚上和先生們!”
