他可能是英国史上最强的段子手
一直在介绍英国老王——奥斯卡·王尔德，其实他还有一项最出众的能力，19世纪如果有微博，他一定是风靡全国甚至是全世界的大咖。
1881年，王尔德坐船横跨大洋来到美利坚，进关的时候傲然地对海关官员翻了个白眼说：
“我没有什么可以申报的，除了我的才华。”
I have nothing to declare except my genius.
我自信，我傲娇
他不仅才华横溢、自恋，而且，他能把语言变得诙谐而讽刺：
“要原谅你的敌人，没有什么事比这更让他们抓狂的了。”
Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.
“我不想去天堂，我的朋友都不在那里。”
I don't want togo to heaven. None of my friends are there.
“努力不过是无事可做的人的避难所。”
Hard work is simply the refuge of people who have nothing to do.
“只有无聊的人才会把早餐吃出花样来。”
Only dull peopleare brilliant at breakfast.
“一个优秀的人没有敌人，但他的朋友也没有一个喜欢他。”
An excellent man，hehas no enemies；and none of his friends like him.
“借钱就要向悲观主义者借，因为他们不会期待你还钱。”
Always borrow money from a pessimist. He won't expect it back.
“对于建议，你所能做的，就是把它转送给别人，建议从来就不是给自己准备的。”
The only thing to do with good advice is to pass it on. It is never of any use to oneself.
“死亡和庸俗是十九世纪仅有的无法用巧辩逃避的东西。”
Death and vulgarity are the only two facts in the nineteenth century that one cannotexplain away.
“为什么我会和这样一些人生活在同一个时代？”
Why was I bornwith such contemporaries?
“公众惊人地宽容。他们可以原谅一切，除了天才。”
The public is wonderfully tolerant. It forgives everything except genius.
“每次人们赞同我的时候，我都觉得自己一定错了。”
Whenever people agree with me I always feel I must be wrong.
关于爱情，他持有悲观的态度：
“人生就是一件蠢事追着另一件蠢事而来，而爱情则是两个蠢东西追来追去。”
Life is one foolthing after another whereas love is two fool things after each other.
“离婚的主要原因是什么？结婚。”
What is the chiefcause of divorce? Marriage.
“结婚是想象战胜了理智，再婚是希望战胜了经验。”
Marriage is the triumphof imagination over intelligence. Second marriage is the triumph of hope overexperience.
我美吗？
关于女人：
“女人是用来被爱的，不是用来理解的。”（这一句迫害了多少男人？）
Women are meant to be loved, not to be understood.
“如果一个女人不能把自己的错误变得迷人，那她就只是一个雌性动物。”
If a woman can'tmake her mistakes charming, she is only a female.
“一个人决不应该相信说出自己真实年龄的女人。如果她把这都说出来了，那她什么都会说。”
One should never trust a woman who tells her real age. If she tells that, she'll tell anything.
关于人性，他看的透彻：
“敌人造成的困难很容易忍受，朋友取得的成功却让人很难忍受。”
It is very easy to endure the difficulties of one's enemies. It is the successes of one'sfriends that are hard to bear.
"人生的悲剧只有两种：一种是没有得到自己想要的东西，另一种是得到自己想要的东西。"
There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it.
"一个人总是可以善待他毫不在乎的人。"
One can always be kind to people one cares nothing about.
“我喜欢看戏。与人生相比，戏剧更加真实。”
I love acting. Itis so much more real than life.
如今段子手们还在玩的梗，100多年前他就说过：
“我年轻时以为金钱是世界上最重要的东西，等到老了才知道，原来真的是这样。”
When I was young,I used to think that money was the most important thing in life, now that I amold, I know it is.
当然他也有正儿八经的言论，胜过心灵鸡汤，传播正能量：
“每个圣人都有过去，每个罪人都有未来。”
Every saint has apast and every sinner has a future.
“我们都生活在阴沟里，但仍有人仰望星辰。”
We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.
Bast：我只想静静的躺着，就这么一直美下去，醒来，睡去。
