[J-142] What a Wife! 多么个太太！
A harassed husband never seemed to be able to please his complaining wife. On their wedding anniversary she bought him two ties, one green, the other yellow. He thanked her profusely, but she sighed: “Well, I guess you don't like my gift.”
“But, darling, I do. I'm mad about them. I'll prove it to you.” He removed the tie he was wearing, put on the yellow tie and beamed: “There.”
His wife looked at him sadly and sighed: “Don't like green, eh?”
[译注] 某位被叨扰的丈夫似乎永远不可能取悦他怨东怨西的太太。在他们结婚周年时，她买给他两条领带，一绿一黄。他大大地感谢她，可是她叹息说：「啊，我猜你不喜欢我的礼物。」 「但，达伶，我喜欢啊。我为它们而疯了呢。我愿证明给你看。」他拿掉当时戴着的那条领带，戴上那条黄色的领带，然后微笑说：「有了。」 他太太伤心地看着他而叹说：「不喜欢绿色的，呃？」 注： harassed (受骚扰的)， anniversary (周年)， profusely (丰富的，极多的)， removed (去除，拿掉)， beam (微笑)， there (在哪儿，有了)。
