"从我拿起你的书的那一刻起,直到我放下它,我都在捧腹大笑。总有一天我打算读它。"
— Groucho Marx
Simplified Meaning:
When someone says they couldn't stop laughing from the moment they picked up a book until they put it down, they're saying the book was really funny. However, the second part of the statement suggests they haven't actually read the book for its content yet. This means they might have only skimmed through it or found something about it amusing even without understanding the whole story. For example, imagine you see a comic book with hilarious pictures on the cover and inside pages. You laugh a lot just from looking at the funny drawings and captions, but you never really sit down to read the entire comic. The joke is that even though you enjoyed a lot from just the surface, you haven't fully appreciated the whole book yet. This can teach us that sometimes we might quickly judge something based on first impressions because it amuses or catches our attention. To truly understand and appreciate it, we should take the time to read or explore it fully. In life, it's good to look deeper into things rather than make quick judgments based on just what we see or hear at first glance.
