An Awkward Critique | 尴尬的批评

点击查看中英对照

One of the guests turned to a man beside him to criticize the performance of the woman who was entertaining them.

"What a terrible voice! Do you know who she is?"

"Yes," the man replied. "She is my wife."

"Oh, I beg your pardon. Of course, it's not her voice, really. It's the material she has to sing. I wonder who wrote that awful song."

"I did," was the answer.
