The Doctor Lives Downstairs | 医生住在楼下

English Original

"Doctor," she said loudly, bouncing into the room, "I want you to say frankly what's wrong with me."

He surveyed her from head to foot. "Madam," he said at length, "I've just three things to tell you. First, your weight wants reducing by nearly fifty pounds. Second, your beauty could be improved if you used about one tenth as much rouge and lipstick. And third, I'm an artist---the doctor lives downstairs."


中文翻译

“医生,”她冲进房间,大声说道,“我想让你坦率地说说我到底怎么了。”

他从头到脚打量了她一番,最后说道:“夫人,我有三件事要告诉你。第一,您的体重需要减少近五十磅。第二,如果您只用十分之一的胭脂和口红,您的容貌会更好看。第三,我是一位画家——医生住在楼下。”
