One day, one of the young men came to visit her and asked her to become his wife. She answered, "No, John, I won't marry you. I want to marry a man who is famous, who can play music、sing and dance very well, who can tell interesting stories, who does not smoke or drink , who stays at home in the evenings and who stops talking when I'm tired of listening."
The young man got up, took his coat and went to the door, but before he left the house, he turned and said to Bertha, "It isn't a man you're looking for. It's a television set."

一天,一個(gè)男人來(lái)拜訪她并向她求婚。她回答道:“不,約翰,我不會(huì)答應(yīng)你。我想嫁一個(gè)有名、善歌善舞的人。他還要會(huì)將有趣的故事,不抽煙不喝酒。晚上會(huì)一直在家,當(dāng)我不想聽(tīng)他說(shuō)話時(shí),他會(huì)閉嘴。”
