The Bad News and the Terrible News

Michael sat in his attorney's office. "Do you want the bad news first or the terrible news?" the lawyer asked.

"Give me the bad news first." 

"Your wife found a picture worth a half-million dollars."

"That's the bad news?" asked Michael incredulously. "I can't wait to hear the terrible news."

"The terrible news is that it's of you and your secretary¹."

坏消息和可怕的消息

　　迈克尔坐在律师的办公室里。“您想先知道坏消息还是可怕的消息？”律师问。

　　“先告诉我坏消息吧。”

　　“您的妻子发现了一张价值５０万美元的照片。”

　　“那就是坏消息？”迈克尔满腹怀疑，“我要等不及听那个可怕的消息了。”

　　“那可怕的消息就是那是一张您和秘书的照片。”
