Too Many Coats | 墙衣太厚

English Original

After a two-week vacation, a man returned to his office. One of his colleagues asked him how his vacation had been.

"I spent the whole two weeks helping my wife paint the rooms in our house," he groaned.

"Does she do that often?"

"Well," came the reply, "when we moved in a few years ago, the guest room was nine by twelve feet. Now it's eight by eleven!"


中文翻译

两周的假期后,一位男士回到了办公室。一位同事问起他假期过得如何。

“我花了整整两周的时间‘帮’我老婆粉刷家里的房间,”他叹着气说。

“她经常刷房子吗?”

“这个嘛,”他答道,“几年前我们刚搬进去时,客房是9乘12英尺。现在变成8乘11英尺了!”
