笑話習題簿10.30
JOKE:
As a freshman at the University of Dayton in Ohio, I was eager to make a good impression on my new roommate. When I arrived at our dorm room, I found her putting on perfume.
"Thats a great scent," I said, making conversation.
"Thanks-it was from my boyfriend. Here, try some," she said, holding the bottle out for me.
Unfortunately she let go before I had a firm grip, and the glass shattered on the tile floor. Embarrassed, I tried to apologize, but she cut me off - "Actually, its kind of fitting," she explained, surveying the damage."That's exactly how the relationship went. "
譯文:
作為俄亥俄州代頓大學的一名新生,我急于給我的新宿舍同伴留個好印象。我到了寢室,看到她正在往身上灑香水。
“香味真濃哇。”我說,想和她搭起話來。
“謝了----是男朋友送的,來,灑些試試。”她說著把瓶子遞給我。
不幸的是,我還沒抓牢,她就松手了,玻璃瓶在瓷磚地板上摔碎了。我感到很窘,我剛想道歉,她就打斷了我。“事實上,應該如此。” 她解釋道,查看著破碎的瓶子,“我和他的關系正是這樣的。”
