Watching Operas for Free免费看歌剧

Wilson wanted to go to the city because he was told that there were more opportunities to make money there He packed his odds and ends and moved there, working at odd jobs here and there He even applied for a job as a telephone operator, but arrived at the interview only to find that his opponents were all female Anyway, he thought something must have been omitted from the ad, since it didnt say they wanted a woman for the job, which he found very offensive There was an opening for a life attendant at a theatre Wilson applied for and got the job On the opening night of a new production, Wilson was very excited, thinking he could watch operas for free He stole out of the lift to watch the play, and he really enjoyed it He cried when the hero was at odds with his sweetheart and broke off with her, and cheered when the lovers reunited against all the odds And he had onions for dinner, so he was burping loudly People were offended by his bad breath and kept eyeing him, but Wilson wasnt aware of his offense When the manager found that the only operational lift was not working, he exploded He caught Wilson in the audience and ordered him to disappear right away Wilson figured the odds were that the manager wouldnt change his mind, so he said, “Please let me stay until the show is over—the fat lady hasnt sung!” A couple of months later, he was still on the offensive against the manager, who wouldnt let him stay until the finish

威尔逊想去城里,因为别人告诉他那里有更多的赚钱的机会。他收拾好他的零星杂物,来到了城里,到处干着临时工。他甚至去应聘当话务员,面试时却发现他的对手全是女的。无论如何,他认为是广告上有疏忽,因为他们没说这份工作只要女的,这让他大为不快。剧院里有个电梯工的空缺,威尔逊去应聘并被录用了。新戏开始上演的那晚,威尔逊很激动,心想他可以免费看歌剧了。他溜出电梯去看演出,看得还非常投入。  当看到男主人公与他的心上人争吵并分手时,他哭了起来;而当这对恋人历尽磨难重归于好时,他又高兴起来。由于晚饭吃了洋葱,他大声地打着嗝。他的口臭让别人觉得很不舒服,所以他们老是看他,可威尔逊却不知道自己冒犯了别人。当经理发现可以使用的电梯也停止了运行时,他发起火来。在观众里找到了威尔逊后,他命令他马上消失。想想经理改变主意的可能性不大,威尔逊说道:“请让我看完再走——胖女人还没唱歌呢!”过了一两个月,威尔逊还在攻击剧院经理,因为他没让他把戏看完。
