Valentine's Day Cards | 情人节贺卡

English Original

A man walks into a post office and sees a middle-aged, balding man at the counter. He is methodically placing "Love" stamps on bright pink envelopes covered in hearts. He then takes out a perfume bottle and sprays them all.

Overcome by curiosity, the observer approaches and asks what he is doing. The man replies, "I'm sending out 1,000 Valentine's cards signed, 'Guess who?'"

"But why?" asks the observer.

"I'm a divorce lawyer."


中文翻译

一名男子走进邮局,看到一位中年秃顶男子站在柜台前。他正有条不紊地在印满心形的亮粉色信封上贴“爱”字邮票。随后,他拿出一瓶香水,开始往所有信封上喷洒。

出于好奇,旁观者走上前去询问他在做什么。那人回答道:“我正在寄出1000张情人节贺卡,上面签着‘猜猜我是谁?’。”

“但这是为什么?”旁观者问。

“我是一名离婚律师。”
