Bad Acting Has Its Benefits
(originally in English)
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，向她父亲说：「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！」
