A Curse ~ 游戏主人·《笑林广记选·骂》 with English Translations

Listen to this article

《笑林广记》是一部流传久远、影响深广的通俗笑话总集,语言风趣幽默,文字简练生动,形式短小精悍,堪称中国古代文化宝库中的旷世奇珍。此书作者署名清代“游戏主人”,但其内容并非一人一世所作,而是广大劳动者集体智慧的结晶!

游戏主人·《笑林广记选·骂》

一医为人看病。病家费去多金,竟不起,因恨甚,遣仆往骂。少顷归,问:”曾骂否?”曰:”不曾。”问:”何以不骂?”仆答曰:”要骂要打的人,多得紧在那里,叫我如何挨挤得上?”

A Curse

After having spent a lot of money on a doctor’s treatment, a patient still couldn’t get up. Filled with loathing and spite, he sent a servant to curse the doctor. After a while, the servant came back. “Have you cursed him?” asked the host. The servant answered, “Not yet.” When asked why not, the servant replied, “There is a huge crowd of people who wanted to curse and beat him. How could I squeeze in?”

(郑孝先、袁孝竞 译)
