Me: Hello, "Television Views"! I am Aziza Bellamy, and thanks for watching. I want to especially thank you, Ms Bertha, for agreeing to this interview on live television. It's a pleasure to meet you, the first - known trans - galactic visitor to the earth. Now, I understand that you are from a planet called Zadernol?
Bertha: Just call me Miss Bertha or Bertha, please, but not "Ms".
Me: Okay, sorry about that. So, you've been on the earth for about a week now. Have you met anything unpleasant so far?
Bertha: It's not the worst planet I've ever been to. Mercury was much worse. The aliens—oops, I mean humans, have been unkind, overall. The family I'm staying with, for example, were nice at first. But now they roll their eyes whenever I open my mouth to say anything. They're not interested in any of my stories. And I think they may be trying to avoid me. Worst of all, they make me wash my own dishes and bathe myself. They're so rude.
Me: Oh, um... wow. That's just...
Bertha: I am used to having high standards when I choose where to stay, by the way. I have stayed with presidents on other planets. And they all adored(崇拜)me and begged me not to leave. But I gave this human family a chance to host me. I mean, really, they should be thankful that I chose them, of all the people on the earth, to wash my clothes and cook my meals and entertain(款待)me.
Me: Well, what you're saying is surprising, Bertha. Do you think it's possible that this family just wants you to be a good guest?
Bertha: It's surprising that you're not agreeing with me. If you were smarter, you'd agree with me. That's another thing. Everyone on Zadernol is smarter than the smartest person on the earth. The earth is below me.
Me: You know what, Bertha? I'm starting to see why you're so unhappy here on the earth. You're just a boastful(自夸的), spoiled(被宠坏的)alien.

我：您好，“电视观察”栏目！我是阿齐扎·贝拉米，感谢您的收看。我要特别感谢您，伯莎女士，同意接受这次电视直播采访。很高兴见到您，您是已知的第一位跨星系访问地球的访客。现在，我了解到您来自一个叫扎德诺尔的星球，对吗？
伯莎：请叫我伯莎小姐或者伯莎就好，别叫“女士”。
我：好的，很抱歉。那么，您到地球已经大约一周了。到目前为止，您有没有遇到什么不愉快的事情？
伯莎：这不是我到过的最糟糕的星球。水星要糟糕得多。总的来说，这些外星人——哦，我是说人类，一直都不友善。比如，我住的这家人，一开始还挺好的。但现在我一开口说话，他们就翻白眼。他们对我的任何故事都不感兴趣。而且我觉得他们可能在躲着我。最糟糕的是，他们让我自己洗碗、自己洗澡。他们太无礼了。
我：哦，嗯……哇。那真是……
伯莎：顺便说一下，我选择住处的时候向来要求很高。我在其他星球上和总统们一起住过。他们都很崇拜我，还求我不要离开。但我给了这个人类家庭一个招待我的机会。我是说，说真的，在地球上这么多人里，我选了他们来给我洗衣服、做饭、招待我，他们应该心存感激才对。
我：嗯，您说的话很让人吃惊，伯莎。您觉得有没有可能这个家庭只是希望您做个好客人呢？
伯莎：您不同意我的看法，这很让人吃惊。如果您再聪明点，就会同意我的看法了。还有一件事，扎德诺尔星球上的每个人都比地球上最聪明的人还要聪明。地球在我眼里不值一提。
我：您知道吗，伯莎？我开始明白您在地球上为什么这么不开心了。您就是一个自夸、被宠坏的外星人。
