I
Am
Acting
Like
a
Lady
One
day
when
women's
dresses
were
on
sale
at
the
FarEast
Department
Store,
a
dignified
middle-aged
man
decided
to
get
his
wife
a
piece.
But
he
soon
found
himself
being
battered
by
frantic
women.
He
stood
it
as
long
as
he
could;
then,
with
head
lowered
and
arms
flailing,
he
plowed
through
the
crowed.
"You
there!"
challenged
a
thrill
voice.
"Can't
you
act
like
a
gentleman?"
"Listen,"
he
said,
"I
have
been
acting
like
a
gentleman
for
an
hour.
From
now
on,
I
am
acting
like
a
lady."
我要表现得象位女士
一天,远东百货公司的女装大减价,一位高贵的中年男士想给太太买一件。可是,没过多久,他发现自己已被疯狂的女人冲得踉踉跄跄。
他竭力忍耐着。后来,他低下头,挥动双臂,挤过人群。
“你干嘛?”有人尖声叫道,“你难道不能表现得象位绅士吗?”
“听着,”他说,“我已经象绅士一样表现了一个小时。从现在起,我要表现得象个女士。”
