English Original
My husband's brother-in-law, Joseph, an American real estate agent, came to China for a short visit to our city.
To show hospitality at the welcoming dinner party, Mr. Sun, the host, entertained Joseph with Chinese wine, saying, "According to our custom, a brother-in-law coming to his wife's native country for the first time must drink three cups of wine."
Joseph declined the offer by saying, "Thank you, but I can't drink even one drop."
"Then our dinner won't be over without your drinking at least one cup," insisted Mr. Sun.
To this, Joseph responded, "The Korean War is over. Don't attack the Americans any more."

我丈夫的姐夫约瑟夫，一位美国房地产经纪人，来到我们所在的城市进行短期访问。
在欢迎晚宴上，为了表示热情好客，主人孙先生用中国酒招待约瑟夫，并说道：“按照我们的习俗，姐夫第一次来到妻子的祖国，必须喝三杯酒。”
约瑟夫婉拒道：“谢谢，但我一滴也喝不了。”
“那您至少得喝一杯，否则我们的晚宴就不算结束，”孙先生坚持道。
对此，约瑟夫回应说：“朝鲜战争已经结束了。别再攻击美国人了。”
