Mother: How did he do it?

妈妈：他怎么打的？

TELEMARKETER
I answered the phone one evening and quickly realized the voice on the other end belonged to a telemarketer.
"Good evening," he said, "may I speak with Leah Jonason?"
"She is a baby, " I replied.
"All right," said the caller, "I'll try again later."
电话推销员
一天晚上我接了一个电话，对方的声音使我很快意识到他是个电话推销员。
“晚上好，”他说，“我想和利厄乔纳森说话。”
“她是个婴儿，”我回答说。
“没关系，”他说，“我以后再打。”
MODERN LIFE
Two old friends got together after many years and soon fell to discussing their husbands' faults.
"We've been married fifteen years," one woman said, "and every night after dinner my husband always complains about the food."
"How terrible!" exclaimed the other. "Does it bother you?"
"Why should it bother me?" her friend replied. "if he can't only stand his own cooking?"
现代生活
两个老朋友分别多年之后又见面了，很快就开始谈起各自丈夫的缺点。
“我们结婚十五年了，”一个妇女说道，“每天晚饭后，我丈夫总要抱怨饭菜。”
“真可恶！”另一个惊呼道。“难道你不烦吗？”
“我烦什么？”她的朋友答道。“他不过是忍受不了自己的烹调技术。”
