Unit 9 We’re in the Same Boat 同病相怜
The young man was terribly self-conscious because he had a wooden eye. His friends would often invite him dance parties, but he could never work up the courage to ask a girl to dance.
一位年轻人因为他有只木制的眼睛而感到非常自卑。他的朋友常会邀请他参加舞会，但他从没能鼓起勇气邀请女孩子跳舞。

“Oh, yeah? Well, you’ve got a wooden leg!”
“哦，怎么了 ？你有一只木制的义肢——（而我有一只木制的假眼，咱们应是天生的一对嘛！）。”
