向肖伯納求婚 Marriage Proposal to Bernard Shaw
Once a beautiful and dissolute British actress wrote to propose marriage to Bernard Shaw. She said she did not mind Bernard Shaw’s old age and ugliness because he was a genius. And if they could combine the beauty of the woman with the talents of the great man，that would be greatly harmonious. “With your wisdom and my appearance，our children must be perfect．”
英國有位美貌風流的女演員，曾寫信向肖伯納求婚。她說，因爲他是個天才，她不嫌肖伯納年邁醜陋。假如能使女郎的美貌和超人的天才結合，那該是多麼協調啊。“咱們的後代有你的智慧和我的美貌，那一定是十全十美了。”Bernard Shaw answered，in a letter，that her imagination was splendid，“But，what if the children take my appearance and your wisdom？”
肖伯納給她回了一封信說，她的想象很是美妙，“可是，假如生下的孩子外貌象我，而智慧又象你，那又該怎麼辦呢？”
