[J-2] Undishonored Lady 未失节的女士
Two middle-aged spinsters, vacationing at a rustic inn, were rocking on the veranda one afternoon when suddenly a cackling hen rushed by hotly pursued by a rooster. Just as the hen got to the road, a car came round the corner and ran over it. “You see, Joan,” said one of the women, nodding righteously. “She'd rather die!”

spinster (老处女)， rustic (乡下的)， inn (客栈，旅馆)， rock (在摇椅上摇动)，veranda = verandah (门廊，游
