Bad news and good news

好消息＆坏消息

An artist asked the gallery owner if there had been any interest in his paintings currently on display. "I've got good news and bad news," the owner replied. "The good news is that a gentleman inquired about your work and wondered if it would appreciate in value after your death. When I told him it would, he bought all fifteen of your paintings."

"That's wonderful!" the artist exclaimed, "What's the bad news?". With concern, the gallery owner replied, "The guy was your doctor."

一名艺术家问画廊老板，最近有没有人对他展出的画感兴趣。“这有好消息和坏消息，”老板回答。　“好消息是有一位先生咨询你的作品，他想知道在你死后你的画会不会升值。　我告诉他你的画会升值，他就把你的15幅画全都买走了。”

“真是太好了”，艺术家是喜形于色，“那坏消息是什么？”　带着关心的口吻，画廊老板回答，“买画的人是你的医生”。
