The Handsaw | 手锯轶事

English Original

At the mall, my wife and I purchased some hardware items, including a handsaw. On our way back to the car, we passed by a steakhouse.

"Let's try it," my wife suggested. Although I felt a bit foolish carrying the saw, I followed her inside.

After scanning the menu, my wife told the waitress, "I'll have the chopped sirloin, please."

The waitress then turned to me, glanced at my saw, and remarked, "And I see, sir, that you've come for our T-bone special."


中文翻译

在商场里,我和妻子买了一些五金用品,其中包括一把手锯。在返回停车场的路上,我们路过一家牛排馆。

"我们尝尝这家吧," 我妻子提议道。尽管我觉得拿着锯子有点傻,但还是跟着她走了进去。

浏览菜单后,我妻子对女服务员说:"请给我一份炒牛腰肉片。"

女服务员随即转向我,看了一眼我的锯子,评论道:"我看出来了,先生,您是冲着我们的T骨牛排特色菜来的。"
