6. The Wildest and Best Comeback by Oscar Wilde
王尔德最大胆最好的反驳
Oscar Wilde was widely known for his wit and intelligence in plays, but he was no stranger to it in real-life. After one performance of one of his plays, Wilde went on stage and welcomed a warm reception. Many people applauded and threw a copious amount of beautiful flora, but one unsatisfied person threw a rotten cabbage at the playwright. Wilde picked it up and replied with a straight face:
奥斯卡·王尔德因为在戏剧创作方面的机智和才华广为人知，不过在现实生活中，王尔德也同样是一个机智过人的人。在一次他的剧作搬上舞台的演出后，王尔德上台致谢，受到了大家的热烈欢迎。许多人鼓掌，还把许多漂亮的植物投掷到舞台上。不过有位观众似乎不满意，朝剧作家扔了一颗烂白菜。王尔德捡起白菜，脸上没什么表情的说道：
“Thank you my friend. Every time I smell it, I shall be reminded of you.”
“谢谢你我的朋友，每次我闻到它，我肯定会想起你。”
