The $65,000 Question | 六万五千美元的问题

English Original

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!"

简是六万五千美元知识竞赛节目的新手选手。她运气不错,遥遥领先于对手,甚至赢得了比赛。但不幸的是,在主持人能问她最后一个关键问题前,时间到了。简同意第二天返回节目。

在开车回家的路上,简紧张地对丈夫罗杰说:“我明天必须赢。真希望我知道答案!我今晚肯定睡不着了。”
“放松点,亲爱的,”罗杰安慰她,“一切都会好的。”

到家十分钟后,罗杰抓起车钥匙。“你要去哪儿?”简问。
“办点小事,很快就回来,”他回答。

在令人煎熬的三小时等待后,罗杰回来了,脸上挂着狡黠的坏笑。“亲爱的,我搞到明天的问题和答案了!”
“是什么?”她兴奋地喊道。
“听着。问题是:‘男性解剖结构的主要三部分是什么?’答案是:‘头、心脏和阴茎。’” 简松了口气,沉沉睡去。

凌晨三点半,罗杰摇醒她提问。“头、心脏和阴茎,”简迷迷糊糊地回答完又睡着了。早上她刷牙时,罗杰又问了一次,她再次答对。

再次站在节目录制现场,尽管知道答案,简还是感到紧张。摄像机开始运行,主持人回顾了前一天的情况后,转向她。
“简,为了六万五千美元,男性解剖结构的主要部分是什么?你有十秒钟。”
“嗯……头?”她紧张地说。
“很好。六秒。”
“呃……心脏?”
“非常好!四秒。”
“我……哦,该死!我丈夫昨晚反复教我,今天早上我还记得清清楚楚的……”
“这足够接近了!”主持人说,“恭喜你!”
