看笑話學(xué)英語(yǔ):我們分享一切
這是一則阿根廷的笑話,但是在小編看來(lái)它稱不上是笑話,不如就當(dāng)做一個(gè)溫情的故事來(lái)看吧……
We Share Everything
An elderly couple goes to Burger King, where they carefully split a burger and fries.
A trucker takes pity on them and offers to buy the wife her own meal.
"It's all right," says the husband. "We share everything."
A few minutes later, the trucker notices that the wife hasn't taken a bite.
"I really wouldn't mind buying your wife her own meal," he insists.
"She'll eat," the husband assures him. "We share everything."
Unconvinced, the trucker implores the wife, "Why aren't you eating?"
The wife snaps, "Because I'm waiting for the teeth!"
我們分享一切
一對(duì)老夫婦在漢堡王餐廳吃飯,他們小心翼翼地將漢堡和薯?xiàng)l分成兩份。
一個(gè)卡車司機(jī)非常同情他們,就提議想給老太太單獨(dú)點(diǎn)一份。
“沒(méi)關(guān)系的。”老先生說(shuō),“我們分享一切。”
幾分鐘后,卡車司機(jī)注意到老太太還沒(méi)動(dòng)口吃一點(diǎn)東西。
他再次對(duì)老先生說(shuō),“我真的不介意請(qǐng)您妻子吃一頓……”
“她會(huì)吃的,”老先生向他保證,“我們分享一切。”
司機(jī)不太相信,懇求老太太,“你為什么不吃一點(diǎn)?”
老太太咂咂嘴,“我在等他的假牙。”
