This is an incredible movie.
(The speech John Q. gives to his son)
I just need to tell you a few things. You always listen to your mother. You understand? Do what she tells you to do. She’s your best friend. You tell her you love her every day.
You’re too young for girls right now, but… there’s […]

讲故事
我念小学的时候,参加过一个讲故事比赛.
“我的同学王小毛给我留下 印象最深.王小毛上台讲了一个故事:
‘从前有个地主,生了两个儿子,大儿子生来好吃懒做,对穷人从来又打又骂,小儿子同情穷人.小儿子爱上了穷人的女儿,地主不同意他们的婚事,就把财产全留 给了大儿子,赶走了小儿子.大儿子从此变本加厉,对穷人越发凶残.小儿子变成了穷人,也被他的哥哥欺负.后来小儿子家里实在没吃的,就去求大儿子借粮食, 大儿子说:你要是赶走你的穷人妻子,我就借给你粮食.小儿子想,没有粮食,两个人都得饿死.就把妻子赶走了.大儿子反悔,粮食也不借了.小儿子和他原来的 妻子就都饿死了.’
大家瞪着眼睛等下文,王小毛说:’故事讲完了‘.老师说:’一定是你没有看完书,故事不应该完.”王小毛肯定地说:”故事就到这里.’
老师很惋惜地说:’这个孩子真不诚实,明明没有讲完故事,还一定说讲完了.王小毛这个月的诚实小红花得不到了, 你们小组得第一也没希望了.’
我的故事讲完了.”

Off-Broadway show: Room Service (Sunday, June 10)
Here is a NewYorkTime Review:
“Generally considered one of the funniest American plays of the 1930’s, Room Service centers around a slippery theatrical producer, trying to find a backer for his new show while holed up in a Times Square hotel with nineteen starving actors. Hoping to forestall eviction, he […]
