美國流行笑話：Heroine in Rain 雨天的女英雄

40　Heroine in Rain 雨天的女英雄

An author was coming to my local bookstore to discuss her novel. The main character was “a strong-willed heroine fighting to survive the hardships of the times.” When I went to the reading, I was disappointed to learn the writer had canceled her appearance. The reason? She didn't want to drive in the rain.

一位女作家要到我們附近的書店來和大家討論她的小說。小說的主人公是一位“在困苦中以奮斗求生存的意志堅定的女英雄”。當(dāng)我趕到讀書會的時候，很失望地得知這位女作家取消了這個聚會。原因是她不愿意在雨天開車。
