Drink Like a Fish | 像鱼一样喝水

English Original

A man hosted a dinner party for his colleagues, including his boss.

Throughout the meal, the host's three-year-old daughter stared intently at her father's boss seated opposite her. She was so absorbed in watching him that she barely touched her food.

The boss checked his tie, wiped his face for stray food, and patted his hair, but nothing deterred her gaze. He tried to ignore her, but eventually, her staring became too much to bear.

"Why are you staring at me?" he asked.

The table fell silent as everyone had noticed the girl's behavior and awaited her reply.

The little girl answered, "My daddy said you drink like a fish, and I don't want to miss it!"


中文翻译

一位男士为同事们举办了一场晚宴,他的老板也在受邀之列。

整个用餐期间,主人三岁的小女儿一直目不转睛地盯着坐在她对面的父亲的上司。她看得如此入神,几乎没怎么吃东西。

这位老板检查了领带,擦了擦脸看是否有食物残渣,又理了理头发,但什么都无法让她移开视线。他试图忽略她,但最终,她的凝视让他实在无法忍受。

他问道:“你为什么一直盯着我看?”

餐桌顿时安静下来,大家都注意到了小女孩的行为,等待着她的回答。

小女孩答道:“我爸爸说你喝酒像鱼一样(海量),我可不想错过!”
