点击查看中英对照

A mother asked her young daughter, "What do you want to be when you grow up?"

The girl replied, "I want to be an old maid."

Surprised, her mother said, "Oh, dear, why?"

"I don't think I'd like to kiss a man so often and tell him he's handsome every time. I'd get bored," the girl explained. "I prefer to go shopping, so I'd rather earn money to buy things for myself."
