參考譯文
每當有人問我做什么工作的時候，我的臉就有點發(fā)燒。我嫉妒那些說他們是作家、書店經理或醫(yī)生的人。所有這些工作本身就能說明問題。
我確實靠笑來謀生，而且我也干得很好。我既能像國王一樣笑，也能像學校的男孩一樣笑。這是一種我已經掌握了的技能，這種技能和修鞋差不多。不管別人什么時候需要我笑，或是讓我以什么方式笑——只要別人要求我這么做。我笑起來可以像公共汽車司機，也可以像商店經理。我能苦笑、友善地笑，也能開心地笑。
我不用說你們也明白，這樣的一份工作是很辛苦的。我晚上的大部分時間都是在夜總會里度過。我的工作就是在演出較為精彩時發(fā)出笑聲。我應該在什么時候發(fā)出爽朗而熱情的笑聲都是經過仔細計算的。它不能來得太早，但也不能來得太遲。
我過著平靜的生活。我能模仿別人的笑聲。我也能以不同的方式笑。但我卻不敢肯定聽到過發(fā)自自己內心的笑聲。
