The worst part is he's going to Paris

I've always thought that most French people are very talented. Because they know humor, and never hesitate to "preach" their humor on appropriate occasions. French humor has always been so playful, like the dashing cowboys swinging a resounding whip sheath, reverberating in the romantic sky of France.

I have seen a foreign emotional drama, I can't remember what the name is, but a few of the words have been stranded in my memory for a long time, every time I want to think, I can't help laughing.

It is a "unfaithful man" betrayal play. The woman was sitting on the floor with tears pouring down her face, next to her friend. Her friend kept comforting her.

Friend: "Stop crying and tell me what he did to you."

Woman: "He slept with another woman." (A snot touches a friend's sleeve)

Friend: "How do you know?"

Woman: "He told me." (sobs)

Friend: "What do you want to do?"

Woman: "I don't know, and he has to go away for a long time for work."

Friend: "..."

Woman: "The worst part is he's going to Paris."

"The worst part is he's going to Paris." This sentence is like a treasure to be discovered, there is much to be learned from it. Is there anything worse than a husband cheating on you? Probably most people think not. But, as far as the women in the show are concerned, they do. That's my own man going to Paris.

Everyone knows what "Paris" means. Paris must be heaven in the eyes of a man, but if a woman comes to see it, it may become hell! Because, they simply can't imagine their men "go to Paris" after, will produce what subtle things, the most important is to their own attitude will produce what a shocking reversal. It has been said that France is a place that is good at making "sentimental". American journalist Ted Stangal once described the amorous French men in his book "The Wonderful French Here" as follows: French men fall in love once a week at the age of 20, once a month at the age of 30, and once a year at the age of 40. Then, as time passes and countless failures accumulate, they begin to think about retirement and inheriting the property of their distant uncle...

When people think of Paris, they will naturally jump into the mind of such a word - romantic! In the eyes of the world, romance seems to have become the patent of the French, and France has become the soil for breeding romance.

The French are the best at making jokes about marriage. A friend of mine who studied in France once told me about a French tradition: When you go drinking with your friends, when the last drop of wine is in someone's glass, the person next to you will stop him and ask: Mariage ou Pendu? (Marriage or hanging?) Then the person would shout, "Mais cest le meme chose! (It's the same thing!) "

There is such a joke: a man wants to jump off a building, his wife shouted: Dear don't be impulsive, we have a long way to go! The man heard this and jumped off. The policeman said: You shouldn't have threatened him like that!

This is an almost ironic joke. This kind of association, this kind of unexpected, this kind of unconventional ridicule, is simply no one in any country in the world can match.

Some people narrowly understand the "romance" of the French as "coatitude", in fact, to a certain extent, the romance of the French is the representative of the sunshine of the French mentality. People who know a little about France know that the "rooster" is an animal that we are familiar with, but in France, it has become a symbol of the country, why the French love the rooster so much? The French explanation is this: because it is the only animal that can sing and dance in its excrement.

Finally, let's take a look at how the French themselves are romantic! The French believe that romance is a manifestation of the vitality of France and the chic of the whole French nation!
