第一章 Bad acting has its benefits
演技三流有好处
A young businessman had just started his own firm. He rented a beautiful office and had it furnished with antiques. Sitting there，he saw a man come in to the outer office. Wishing to appear the hot shot，the businessman picked up the phone and started to pretend he had a big deal working. He threw huge figures around and made giant commitments. Finally he hung up and asked the visitor，“Can I help you？” The man said，“Yeah，I've come to activate your phone lines.”
一个年轻人的公司刚刚开张。他租用了漂亮的办公室，还在办公室里放了古董作装饰。
一天，这位年轻人正在办公室里面坐着，他看到一个男的走进了办公室。 为显示他是个成功的老板，这位年轻人拿起电话假装正在谈大买卖，开口就是高价。
最后，他挂上听筒后问进来的那个人：“您有事吗？”那人说，“有事，我是来给你开通电话的”。
Bad acting has its benefits
There once was a young man who went to his girlfriend's house and said to her father，“Sir，may I ask your permission to marry your daughter？” And the father said，“No way. There's no way my daughter is going to marry an actor. That's final!” But the boy begged him，“Please，before you make a final decision，would you at least go to see me perform tonight and then decide？” So the father said，“OK，fair enough.”
So that evening the father took his daughter to the theater to see the young man perform，and after the performance，he took his daughter backstage into the young man's dressing room and said，“OK，you can marry my daughter，no problem.” The young man was beside himself and so happy that he said，“Yes，sir，but why？” And the father said，“Because you're no actor.”
演技三流有好处
有一个年轻人到他女朋友家，对女友的父亲说：“伯父，请您把女儿嫁给我好吗？”女孩的父亲回答：“不！我女儿绝不能嫁给一个演员，不用再说了！”但是男孩请求他说：“拜托您至少先看了我今晚的表演，再做最后决定好吗？”那位父亲说：“好吧！这要求不过分。”
当天晚上，这位父亲就带着女儿去剧院看年轻人的演出。表演结束后，他带女儿到后台的演员化妆室，告诉年轻人说：“没问题，你可以娶我的女儿。”年轻人欣喜若狂地说：“太好了！是什么原因让您同意呢？”这位父亲回答：“因为你不是当演员的料！”
Sweet revenge
A grandmother gave a water pistol as a birthday gift to her grandson. So he was squeezing and squashing it everywhere，splashing all over，and the mother was very，very disturbed.
She looked sternly at her own mother，the grandmother. “I'm surprised at you，mother!”
“Why？” “Don't you remember how we used to drive you crazy with water guns？”
The grandmother said，“Yes dear，I remember!”
甜蜜的报复
外婆送给孙子一枝玩具水枪作为生日礼物。结果孙子拿着水枪玩耍，喷得到处都是水，让妈妈非常生气。
她板着脸看着自己的母亲说道：“妈，您让我感到很诧异！” “怎么啦？”“您不记得以前我们是如何用水枪让您抓狂的吗？”“亲爱的，我记得啊！”
A holiday from school
Tommy hated school and was always looking for excuses not to go.
If he sneezed，he asked his mother to write a note saying he had a cold.
If he had a headache，he asked his mother to take him to the doctor during school hours.
He spent more time at home than he did at school.
On the days that he did go to school，he looked for excuses to come home early.
One morning he came home when the lessons were only half finished.
His father was surprised.
“You've come home early，”he said. “Is the school closed today？”
“No，Dad”，Tommy said， “It's open. I came home early.”
“How did you do that？his father asked him. “What did you say to the teacher？”
“I told her that I had a new baby brother and that I had to come home and help you .”
“But your mother has had twins，”his father said，“a boy and a girl. You've got a baby brother and a baby sister.”
“Yes，I know，Dad，”Tommy said. “I'm saving up my baby sister for next week .”
休假
汤姆讨厌上学，总是找借口不去上学.
如果他打喷嚏，他就叫他妈妈写个纸条说他感冒了。
如果他头痛，他就叫他妈妈在上课时间带他去看病。
他呆在家里的时间比在学校的时间要多。
在他的确去上学的日子里，他就找借口早点回家。
一天早上他上了一半课就从学校回来了。
他爸爸很惊讶。
“你回来得很早，”他爸爸问，“学校放学了吗？”
“没有，爸爸，”汤姆说，“还没放学。我提前回来了。”
“你怎么会提前回来了？”爸爸问，“你对老师说什么了？”
“我告诉她我有了一个小弟弟，我得回家帮你。”
“但是你妈妈生了一对双胞胎，”爸爸说，“一个男孩，一个女孩。你有一个小弟弟和一个小妹妹。”
“是的，我知道，爸爸，”汤姆说，“我要等下个星期再说我有个小妹妹了。”
What time is it now？
The two boys were camping in the backyard. When they couldn't figure out what time it was，the first boy said to the second，“Start singing very loud.”
“How will that help？” said the second b
