  (Rocco was taking care of his sister Jolie’s cat.)

  Jolie: How is my cat?

  Rocco: He’s dead.

  Jolie: Dead?! Oh, no! That’s terrible!2 ... Couldn’t you have told me in a nicer way?

  Rocco: How?

  Jolie: You could have said something like,“He’s up on the roof3 and he won’t come down.”Why couldn’t you tell me the bad news later? I would be more prepared.

  Rocco: You’re right. I’m sorry.

  Jolie: Just forget4 about it. Anyway, how’s Mom?

  Rocco: Er... She’s up on the roof and she won’t come down.

幽默小品:别伤了我的心

  翻译

  (罗科前些时候一直帮他姐姐朱丽照顾她的猫。)

  朱丽:我的猫怎样了?

  罗科:他死了。

  朱丽:死了?!喔,不!真糟!……你难道不能用婉转一点的方式告诉我吗?

  罗科:怎么个婉转法?

  朱丽:你可以说些“它爬上屋顶,不肯下来”这一类的话啊。为什么你不晚一点再告诉我这个坏消息呢?这样我会比较有心理准备。

  罗科:你说得对。对不起。

  朱丽:算了。对了,妈妈好吗?

  罗科:呃……她爬上屋顶,不肯下来。
