English Original
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."

一位母亲问她年幼的女儿：“你长大后想做什么？”
女孩回答：“我想做个老姑娘。”
母亲惊讶地说：“哦，亲爱的，为什么呀？”
“我觉得我不会喜欢老是去亲一个男人，而且每次还得说他很帅。我会感到厌倦的，”女孩解释道，“我更喜欢逛街购物，所以我宁愿自己赚钱买东西。”
