有兩個(gè)大款附庸風(fēng)雅，參加一個(gè)冷餐會(huì)，與會(huì)者自然不乏真正的名流學(xué)者。席間，一個(gè)學(xué)者與其中的大款甲閑聊，話題不知怎么扯到莎士比亞身上。學(xué)者問大款甲：“先生是否對莎士比亞最感興趣？”大款甲頓了頓，隨即正色說：“相比之下，還是威士忌合我口味。”這時(shí)，大家都暗自竊笑。大款乙也看出了苗頭，悻悻然走開。在回來的小車上，大款乙教訓(xùn)大款甲說：“你真一點(diǎn)都不懂，莎士比亞是飲料，你怎么把它當(dāng)洋酒了！”

Two big shots attended a buffet reception, trying to pose as lovers of culture, for the participants included some real scholars of distinction. During the reception, a scholar chatted with Tycoon A and somehow the topic shifted to Shakespeare. The scholar asked, “Are you most interested in Shakespeare?” The big shot paused and announced with a severe countenance: “In comparison, whiskey is more to my taste.” Hearing that, all the listeners laughed up their sleeves. Tycoon B saw the straw in the wind and left resentfully. On their way home in the car, Tycoon B lectured Tycoon A: “ How could you be that ignorant! Shakespeare is a beverage, and you are foolish enough to take that as an imported spirit!”
