The $65,000 Question | 六万五千美元的问题

点击查看中英对照

Jane was a first-time contestant on the $65,000 quiz show. Luck was on her side, and she gained a substantial lead over her opponents. She even managed to win the game, but unfortunately, time ran out before the host could ask her the final, big question. Jane agreed to return the next day.

Nervous on the drive home, Jane told her husband, Roger, "I just have to win tomorrow. I wish I knew the answers! I won't sleep at all tonight."
"Relax, honey," Roger reassured her. "It will all be okay."

Ten minutes after arriving home, Roger grabbed his car keys. "Where are you going?" Jane asked.
"Just a quick errand. I'll be back soon," he replied.

After an agonizing three-hour absence, Roger returned with a wide, wicked grin. "Honey, I got tomorrow's question and answer!"
"What is it?" she cried excitedly.
"Okay. The question is: 'What are the three main parts of the male anatomy?' The answer is: 'The head, the heart, and the penis.'" Relieved, Jane fell into a deep slumber.

At 3:30 a.m., Roger shook her awake to ask the question. "The head, the heart, and the penis," Jane replied groggily before falling back asleep. He asked her again in the morning as she brushed her teeth, and once more, she answered correctly.

Back on the quiz show set, Jane felt butterflies despite knowing the answer. The cameras rolled, and the host, after recapping the previous day, turned to her.
"Jane, for $65,000, what are the main parts of the male anatomy? You have ten seconds."
"Hmm... the head?" she said nervously.
"Very good. Six seconds."
"Uh... the heart?"
"Very good! Four seconds."
"I... oh, darn! My husband drilled it into me last night, and I had it on the tip of my tongue this morning..."
"That's close enough!" said the host. "CONGRATULATIONS!"
