[J-81]   Whose Ancestors?

             谁的祖先?  

 

     In an antique shop, I spotted a pair of early American portraits and questioned the proprietor about them.

 

   “Their ancestors,” he said.

   “Whose ancestors?” I pursued.

   “Anyone's that has a mind to have them,” explained the enterprising humorist. 

 

[译注]

「谁的祖先啊?」我追问。

「任何人的,有心拥有它们就是啦。」那从事企业的幽默家说明。

 

注: antique (古老的、古董的), spot (认出、看见), portrait (画像), proprietor (业主), enterprising (从事企业的)。
