A White Lie | 善意的谎言

English Original

A middle-aged couple visited an art gallery.

The wife, who was nearsighted, stood before a mirror at the entrance, mistaking it for a painting. Seeing the reflection of a woman, she exclaimed, "Dear me, how could a woman be so ugly?"

"Don't be so fussy," said her husband. "It's lucky that it's a painting and not a mirror."


中文翻译

一对中年夫妇参观了一家画廊。

近视的妻子站在入口处的一面镜子前,误以为那是一幅画。她看到一个女人的影像,惊呼道:“天呐,怎么会有女人长得这么丑?”

“别大惊小怪,”她的丈夫说,“幸好那是一幅画,而不是一面镜子。”
