第122期雙語笑話加練習題 母親的腳
To prevent our dog, Lacy, from pestering visitors to our house, my mother often massaged her as she lounged beneath the kitchen table, her favorite resting spot. One day a contractor came over to talk about a home-improvement project. As he and my mother sat across the table discussing the renovations, my mother slipped off her shoes and mindlessly soothed Lacy with her feet. My mother had been talking for about a half-hour when to her great embarrassment she heard Lacy bark outside the front door.

16.母親的腳
為避免我們的狗，萊希，糾纏來訪的客人，我母親常在愛犬喜歡呆的地方，即餐桌下面，摩昵它。一天，一個建筑商來談居室裝潢工程。在這人和我母親坐在餐桌邊談居室的修茸時，我母親滑脫了她的鞋子，開始不經意地用腳摩蹭起萊希來。談話進行了半個小時的時候，我母親突然感到很不好意思起來，因為這時她聽到了萊希在前門外的犬吠聲。
練習參考答案：
① She is a dog that likes to pester visitors.
② She massaged her.
③ A contractor came for home-improvement project.
④ About a half-hour.
⑤ Because she was massaging not the dog but the contractor' s foot.
