Marriage Proposal to Bernard Shaw
Once a beautiful and dissolute British actress wrote to propose marriage to Bernard Shaw. She said he was a genius, so she did not mind his old age and ugliness. And if they could combine the beauty of the woman with the talents of the great man, that would be greatly harmonious. “With your wisdom and my appearance, our children must be perfect.”
Bernard Shaw answered in a letter, that her imagination was splendid, “but, what if the children take my appearance and your wisdom?”
向肖伯纳求婚
英国有位美貌风流的女演员，曾写信向肖伯纳求婚。她说，他是个天才，所以她不嫌肖伯纳年迈丑陋。假如能使女郎的美貌和伟人的才能结合，那该是多么协调啊。“咱们的后代有你的智慧和我的美貌，那一定是十全十美了。”
肖伯纳给她回了一封信说，她的想象很美妙，“可是，假如生下的孩子外貌像我，而智慧又像你，那又该怎么办呢？”
