美國(guó)流行笑話：They send in the obituary writer 他們把寫訃告的人派來了

144　They send in the obituary writer 他們把寫訃告的人派來了

As a writer for one of the less glamorous sections of a newspaper, I also do entertainment features on rare occasions. Once, I was assigned to review a play that hadn't opened yet. After the rehearsal, I was chatting with the cast and mentioned what I usually do at the paper. One thespian, shaking his head, remarked, “Oh, great. The play hasn't even opened yet, and they send in the obituary writer.”

我是一家報(bào)紙的不太熱門的專欄作家。偶爾也寫一些娛樂特寫報(bào)道。有一次，我被派去評(píng)論一個(gè)尚未上演的劇目?？赐昱啪氁院?，我和演員們聊天，談到我在報(bào)社通常干什么。一個(gè)演員搖搖頭評(píng)論說：“噢，太棒了。這個(gè)劇還沒有上演，他們已經(jīng)把寫訃告的人派來了。”
