There was once a large,fat woman who had a small,thin husband. He had a job in a big company and was given his weekly wages every Friday evening. As soon as he got home on Fridays,his wife used to make hirn give her all his money,and then she used to give him back only enough to buy his lunch in the office every day.
曾有一位塊兒大、膘肥的女人,她的丈夫卻是瘦小、干癟。丈夫是在一家大公司做事。每到周五晚上領(lǐng)到工資,也正是周五這位丈夫回家時,老婆就讓他把所有錢都交出來,然后再給他一點兒在辦公室吃午飯的錢。
One day the small man came home very excited. He hurried into the living-room. His wife was listening to the radio and eating chocolates.”You'll never guess what happened to me today,dear,"he said. He waited for a few seconds and then added:“I won ten thousand pounds on the lottery!”
一天,這位小丈夫回到家,興奮得不得了。他匆匆忙忙地來到起居室。他老婆正在那兒聽廣播,吃巧克力。“親愛的,你永遠(yuǎn)也猜不到我今天怎么了,”他說道,過了數(shù)秒鐘他又說:“我中了一萬英磅的彩票?!?/div>
"That's wonderful!"said his wife delightedly. But then she thought for a few seconds and added angrily,"But wait a moment! How could you afford to buy the ticket?".
“太棒了!”他老婆非常高興地說。但她又沉思了一會兒并氣憤地問:“你說說,你拿什么錢買的彩票?”
