In one dinner party, a capitalist eyed bony Bernard Shaw up and down, and said in all seriousness, “Look at your appearance, it really makes people believe that all the British are starving.”

Bernard Shaw, examining the potbellied capitalist, said, “But, I know as soon as I saw you the reason why Britain is suffering from famine.”

在一次宴會上,一个资本家上下打量着瘦骨嶙峋的萧伯纳,一本正经地说:“看看你的模样,真叫人以为英国人都在挨饿。”

萧伯纳审视着大腹便便的资本家说:“但是,我一见到你,就知道英国正在闹饥荒的原因了。”
