I Understand Him | 我懂他的话

English Original

While eating in a restaurant, I reprimanded my four-year-old son for speaking with his mouth full. "Mumpf umn Kmpfhm," was all I heard.

"Drew," I scolded, "no one can understand a word you're saying."

"He says he wants some ketchup," my husband said calmly.

A woman sitting nearby leaned over and asked, "How in the world did you understand him?"

"I'm a dentist," my husband explained.


中文翻译

在餐厅吃饭时,我责备了我四岁的儿子,因为他满嘴食物还在说话。我只听到“唔唔嗯嗯”的声音。

“德鲁,”我斥责道,“没人能听懂你在说什么。”

“他说他想要一些番茄酱,”我丈夫平静地说。

坐在旁边的一位女士倾身问道:“你究竟是怎么听懂他的话的?”

“我是牙医,”我丈夫解释道。
