字幕原文

Lesson 89 A Slip of the Tongue People will do anything to see a free show, 第89课 口误 人们为了看免费演出什么都干得出来，

even if it is a bad one. 哪怕演出很烂。

When the news got round that a comedy show would be presented 当消息传开，说P&U鸟食公司要在我们当地电影院搞一场喜剧演出时，

at our local cinema by the P&U Birdseed Company, 我们都抢着去看。

we all rushed to see it. 去看。

to see it. 我们排了好几个小时的队才进去，

We had to queue for hours to get in, 演出开始前现场肯定有好几百号人。

and there must have been several hundred people present just before the show began. 不幸的是，

Unfortunately, 这场演出是我们看过的最无聊的之一。

the show was one of the dullest we have ever seen. 那些没挤进去的人其实不用觉得遗憾，

Those who failed to get in need not have felt disappointed, 因为很多本该出场的艺人压根没来。

as many of the artistes who should have appeared did not come. 那天晚上我们听到的唯一好笑的东西，

The only funny things we heard that evening came 来自节目开头的一个广告员。

from the advertiser at the beginning of the program. 他明显紧张得要命，在麦克风前尴尬地站了好几分钟。

He was obviously very nervous and for some minutes stood awkwardly before the microphone. 他一开口，

As soon as he opened his mouth, 全场就爆笑。

everyone burst out laughing. 我们都知道这可怜家伙本来该说什么，

We all know what the poor man should have said, 但他实际说的是：

but what he actually said was, 这是Poo和E鸟食公司。

This is the Poo and E Seed Bird Company. 女士们，晚上好，先生们。

Good ladies, evening and gentlemen. 各位女士们，先生们，晚上好。
