"Are you coming to the office Christmas party tomorrow night?" the young man asked his colleague.
"Well," replied his friend, "I'd like to, but I'm afraid I have to stay home. My pet gets very anxious if I'm out late."
"Pet?" replied the young man. "I didn't know you had one. What is it?"
"A centipede."
"A centipede? That's unusual. But that's no problem. Why don't you bring it with you?"

“嗯，”他的朋友回答，“我想去，但恐怕我得待在家里。如果我回去太晚，我的宠物会非常焦虑。”
“宠物？”年轻人回应道，“我不知道你养了宠物。是什么宠物？”
“一只蜈蚣。”
“一只蜈蚣？这可不常见。但这没问题。你为什么不把它一起带来呢？”
