Stunning Reply 出色的回答

My five-year-old son was not picking up his toys while I was preparing dinner as I had asked him. When I inquired why he wasn't doing his chores, he said that he didn't feel like it. Exasperated, I said, "Where would you be right now if I didn't feel like making dinner?"

  He thought for a moment and then replied, " A restaurant?"

出色的回答

  我在准备晚饭的时候,我叫年仅五岁的儿子把玩具都收拾起来。当我问他为什么没做他的差事时,他说他不想做。我感到有些恼火,就对他说:"要是我说我不想做晚饭,这时你会在哪里呢?"

  他略加思索便回答说:"在饭店里?"

Diet Tribe

Mom was very proud that she'd lost ten pounds. On the way to the store with my husband and me she talked of little else. We dropped her off in the lingerie department, but when we returned, we couldn't find her. Thinking she might be in the fitting room, I asked the saleswoman if she had seen my mother. "What does she look like?" the clerk asked.

  My husband said simply, "She just lost ten pounds.

  "Third door on the left." the woman replied with a smile.

节食族

  妈妈为她减肥十磅而非常自豪。在和我们小两口一起去商场的路上,她别无所谈。我们把她送到女内衣部,在那儿分手,但当我们回来找她时,却找不见她。我想她也许会在试衣室,就问售货员是否见过我母亲。"她长得什么样?"这位职员问。

  我丈夫直截了当地说:"她刚减了十磅。"

  "左边第三个门,"女售货员笑眯眯地回答。

The Cat and the Saucer

An antiques collector was passing a small shop when he noticed a cat on the sidewalk out front, licking milk from a saucer. The man immediately realized the saucer was very old and valuable. He stepped into the shop with an uninterested look and asked to buy the cat. "I'm sorry, " the shop owner said, "but the cat is not for sale: "

  "Please, " the collector urged, "I need a cat around my house to catch mice. I'll give you 20 dollars. "

  "The cat is yours," the owner said taking the money.

  "Listen," the collector added, "I wonder if you could throw in that old saucer as well. The cat seems to like it and I'd hate to have him give it up. "

  "Sorry," the shop owner answered, "but that saucer brings me luck. Why, just this week I've sold 68 cats!"

猫与托盘

  一个古董收集者正路过一个小店。他发现店前人行道上一只猫在舔一个托盘上的牛奶。这个人立刻意识到这个托盘是个值钱的古物。他带着一种毫无兴趣的表情步入店内,要买那只猫。"对不起,"店主说,"这只猫是不卖的。"

"卖给我吧,"收集者敦促道,"我家里面需要一只猫来捉老鼠。我给你20元。"

  "猫归你了,"店主接过钱说道。

  "还有,"收集者补充道,"我想你是否能把那只旧盘子也额外赠送给我。猫好像很喜欢它。我不愿意看到它失去这东西。"

  "对不起,"店主回答说,"但那只托盘能给我带来好运。你不知道,光这一周,我就卖掉68只猫!"
