A Culinary Complaint | 烹饪的抱怨

English Original

Two old friends reunited after many years and soon began discussing their husbands' faults.

"We've been married for fifteen years," one woman said, "and every night after dinner, my husband complains about the food."

"How terrible!" exclaimed the other. "Does it bother you?"

"Why should it bother me?" her friend replied. "If he can't stand his own cooking?"


中文翻译

两位老朋友多年后重聚,很快就开始谈论起各自丈夫的缺点。

“我们结婚十五年了,”一位女士说,“每天晚饭后,我丈夫总要抱怨饭菜不好。”

“真糟糕!”另一位惊呼道。“你不觉得烦吗?”

“我为什么要烦?”她的朋友答道。“如果他连自己的厨艺都忍受不了呢?”
