美国流行笑话：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.

一位女作家要到我们附近的书店来和大家讨论她的小说。小说的主人公是一位“在困苦中以奋斗求生存的意志坚定的女英雄”。当我赶到读书会的时候，很失望地得知这位女作家取消了这个聚会。原因是她不愿意在雨天开车。
