賴世雄讀英語笑話學英語之婚姻笑話(3):喔,真是恩愛的一對!(雙語)
unit 3 aw, how sweet! 喔,真是恩愛的一對!
two women friends were having tea. said one to the other, “i’ve been trying to reach my lawyer for a week...”
兩個女人正在喝茶,其中一位對另一位說道:“我已經花了一個禮拜找我的律師,……。”
“oh, please don’t mention lawyers to me,” interrupted the recent widow. “i’ve had so much trouble settling my husband’s estate that i sometimes wish he hadn’t died!”
“哦,拜托別再向我提律師的事了,”那位剛死去丈夫的女人插嘴道,“我在處理我先生遺留的房地產時遭遇到好多麻煩,有時候我真希望他沒死就好了。”
英語知識點解說:
1.reach vt. 聯絡到 & n. 能力所及范圍
beyond (above, out of) one's reach 某人能力所不能及
keep sth within easy reach 把某物放在容易拿到的地方
例:dodging and weaving, johnny stayed just beyond the bully's reach.
(小強尼躲躲藏藏并迂回而行,讓那個壞蛋找不到他。)
the wily gangster always kept a pistol within easy reach.
(這個狡猾的歹徒總是把手槍放在容易拿到的地方。)
