We attended the wedding of an acquaintance's son. Since we did not know the young man or his bride, we decided to send a practical household gift: a fire extinguisher.
Apparently, the couple had mass-produced their thank-you notes, as we received a card stating: "Thank you very much for the nice wedding gift. We look forward to using it soon."
我们参加了一位熟人之子的婚礼。由于我们既不认识新郎也不认识新娘，便决定送上一份实用的家居礼物：一个灭火器。
显然，这对新人批量制作了感谢卡，因为我们收到了一张卡片，上面写着：“非常感谢您赠送的精美结婚礼物。我们期待着不久就能用上它。”
