英語笑話:Good news and bad news

An artist asked the gallery owner if there had been any interest in his paintings currently on display.
一個畫家問畫廊的主人有沒有人對他正在展覽的畫作感興趣。

I've got good news and bad news, the owner replied.
我有個好消息，又有個壞消息要告訴你，主人說。

The good news is that a gentleman inquired about your work and wondered if it would appreciate in value after your death. When I told him it would, he bought all fifteen of your paintings.
好消息就是一位紳士向你的畫作詢價並想知道你死後那些畫會不會升值。當我告訴他會以後，他便買下了你全部的15幅作品。

That's wonderful! the artist exclaimed, What's the bad news?. With concern, the gallery owner replied, The guy was your doctor.
那太好了！畫家驚歎道，那壞消息呢？主人面露關切之色，回答道：那個人是你的醫生。
