The Flatterer | 马屁精

English Original

Andy's wife, refusing to accept the signs of aging, bought an expensive new line of cosmetics guaranteed to make her look years younger.

After spending a long time in front of the mirror applying the "miracle" products, she asked her husband, "Darling, honestly, if you didn't know me, how old would you say I am?"

Looking her over carefully, Andy replied, "Judging from your skin, twenty; your hair, eighteen; and your figure, twenty-five."

"Oh, you flatterer!" she gushed. Just as she was about to tell Andy his reward, he stopped her by saying...

"Whoa, hold on there, sweetie!" he interrupted. "I haven't added them up yet!"


中文翻译

安迪的妻子不愿接受容颜老去,于是买了一套昂贵的新款化妆品,据说能让她看起来年轻许多岁。

她在镜子前花了很长时间涂抹这些“神奇”的产品,然后问丈夫:“亲爱的,老实说,如果你不认识我,你觉得我多大年纪?”

安迪仔细地打量了她一番,回答道:“看你的皮肤,二十岁;看你的头发,十八岁;看你的身材,二十五岁。”

“哦,你这个马屁精!”她脱口而出。正当她准备告诉安迪会得到什么奖励时,安迪打断了她……

“哇,亲爱的,等等!”他打断道,“我还没把数字加起来呢!”
