One day,Oprah Winfrey was looking around her room and said,“Damn my room is ugly!”
So Oprah called up her interior decorator and asked her to come and redid her room.
The decorator came,took a look around Oprah's room and said,“I think I know just the trick!”
So the decorator closed the door and went to work.Five minutes,the decorator walked out of the room.
“Boy,that is quick!”Oprah said.
Then she saw the decorator walk out with about 10 mirrors in her hands.“This might make your room less ugly!”
一天,欧普拉·温弗瑞向她的房间四周环顾了一下,自言自语道:“该死,我的房间真丑!”
于是,欧普拉找来了她的室内设计师,让她重新装饰自己的房间。
设计师来了,看了一下房间,说:“我有主意了!”
设计师关上房门,开始工作。5分钟之后,她走了出来。
“哇,真快啊!”欧普拉说。
她看到设计师拿着10面镜子从房间中走出来,说:“这样一来,您的房间就好看多啦!”
