The Gambler's Loss | 赌徒的损失

English Original

A gambler took $1000 from home to a casino. A few hours later, he returned. His wife immediately asked him, "Did that big bill give birth to any little ones?"

"Yes, yes," the gambler replied, pulling out two ten-dollar bills with a sorrowful tone. "Unfortunately, their mother passed away."


中文翻译

一名赌徒从家里拿了1000美元去赌场。几小时后,他回来了。妻子立刻迎上前问道:"那张大票子生出小票子没有?"

"生了,生了!"赌徒哭丧着脸,从口袋里掏出两张十美元的钞票说,"不幸的是,它们的母亲去世了。"
