          灭火器 

 

   Sarah often complained about her husband's foolish extravagancies.  By way of proving her point, she led me to the cellar stair and pointed to a fire extinguisher. “Look at that!” she exclaimed.  “He just had to have that fire extinguisher -- 25 dollars -- and he hasn't even used it once!” 

 

[译注]

 

    萨拉常常埋怨她丈夫愚蠢的挥霍。藉由证实她的论点,她带我到地下室的楼梯那里,指向一个灭火器。「看看那个!」她嚷出来。「他就得要有那个灭火器--二十五元呢--而他连一次都没用过!」 

 

注: extravagancy (挥霍), by way of (藉由), fire extinguisher (灭火器)。
