纳博科夫接着说：“我的听众包括孔雀、鸽子、我死了很久的父母，两株柏树，几个蹲在四周的小护士，还有一个老得几乎看不见的家庭医生。”

"My audience," Nabokov went on, "consisted of peacocks, pigeons, my long dead parents, two cypresses, several young nurses crouching around, and a family doctor so old as to be almost invisible."

我是这么说这个笑话的：“一个护士——她的名字是Joyce——在候诊室感到了某种存在。”

Here's how I tell it: "a nurse — her name is Joyce — feels a presence in the waiting room."

一个护士冲进诊疗室，说：‘医生，医生，在候诊室有个隐形人。’

'a nurse rushes into an exam room and says, "doctor, doctor, there's an invisible man in the waiting room."'
