"我不喜欢这部戏剧，但后来在不利的条件下看到了它——幕布升起了。"
— Groucho Marx

Simplified Meaning:
At first, someone didn't enjoy the play they watched. Later, they realized their opinion was influenced by the fact that they saw the play when the curtain was accidentally raised before everything was ready. This means they saw the behind-the-scenes chaos instead of the final polished performance. Think of a cook who didn't like a dish because they tasted it before it was fully cooked. The dish wasn’t bad, it just wasn’t finished yet. In life, we should remember not to judge things too quickly, especially if we see them before they are ready. If someone feels unhappy with something, they should consider if they are seeing it at the wrong time or in the wrong situation.
