英汉双语笑话 Roses for My Wife
On the way home one night, I spotted some fresh-cut roses outside a florist's shop. After selecting a dozen and entering the shop, I was greeted by a young saleswoman.
一天晚上回家的路上,我看到一家花店外面有一些刚剪下来的玫瑰。我挑了一打,走进店里,一个年轻的女售货员跟我打了个招呼。
"Are these for your wife, sir?" she asked.
“先生,这些是送给你妻子的吗?”她问道。
"Yes," I said.
“是的,”我说。
"For her birthday?" she asked.
“她的生日?”她问。
"No," I replied.
“不是,”我回答。
"For your anniversary?"
“你们的结婚纪念日?”
"No," I said again.
“不是,”我又答道。
As I pocketed my change and headed toward the door, the young woman called out, "I hope she forgives you."
当我将找回的钱装进口袋,朝门口走去时,那年轻的女人冲我喊道:“希望她能原谅你。”
