A woman at the mall was giving away free kittens. I picked out a cute black and white one. “I call him Prince,” she told me. That's a dumb name for a cat, I thought. When I got him home, I immediately changed it to “the Kitten Formerly Known as Prince.”
一位婦女在商場里拿小貓送給大家。我挑了一只可愛的黑白花貓。她告訴我說:“我叫它王子。”我心里想,給貓起這樣的名字可不好。回到家里我馬上把它改成“以前叫做王子的小貓”。
