I'll Change My Name | 我会改名字

English Original

At the age of 16, Edely decided to leave home and join a theater company. His father was appalled, "A son of mine on the stage? It's a disgrace!" he wailed. "What if the neighbors find out?"

"I'll change my name," the comic-to-be volunteered.

"Change your name!" his father screamed. "What if you're a success? How will the neighbors know it's my son?"


中文翻译

"我会改个名字,"这位未来的喜剧演员主动提议。

"改名字!"他父亲尖叫道,"要是你成功了怎么办?邻居们怎么知道那是我的儿子?"
