English Original
During the doctor's periodic visit to my elderly mother, I told him that she would be celebrating her 98th birthday in a few days. Delighted by the news, he bent down and gave her a kiss for the occasion. He then announced that he, too, would be celebrating a birthday soon and asked for a kiss in return.
When he left, my mother shook her head in disgust. "Can you imagine," she said. "Seventy dollars and I had to kiss him too!"

医生按期来探视我的老母亲。我告诉他，母亲过几天就要庆祝她的98岁生日了。医生听了很高兴，为此弯下腰亲了她一下。然后他说，他自己也快过生日了，并要求母亲回亲他一下。
医生走后，我母亲厌恶地摇摇头。“你能想象吗，”她说，“付了他70块钱，我还得亲他！”
