第8章 Good News and Bad News

An artist asked the gallery owner if anyone had shown interest in his paintings.

"I've got good news and bad news. "he said,"The good news is that some guy inquired about your work and wondered if it would appreciate in value after you died. When I told him it would, he bought all 12 of your paintings."

"And the bad news?"

"The guy was your doctor."

好消息与坏消息

一位画家向美术馆老板打听是否有人对他的画感兴趣。

“有好消息，也有坏消息。”他说，“好消息是有人询问你的作品在你死后会不会升值。我告诉他会的，他就把你的十二幅画全买走了。”

“那坏消息呢？”

“那家伙是你的医生。”
