The Price of a Perfect Woman | 完美女人的代价

English Original

In Eden, Adam said to God, "I am lonely. I need a companion."

"Alright," God replied, "I will create a perfect woman for you—beautiful, smart, and gentle. She will cook, clean, and do everything for you without complaint or question."

"That sounds wonderful," Adam said. "But what is the cost for such a perfect woman?"

"One arm and one leg."

"Oh, that's too expensive!" After thinking for a moment, Adam asked, "How about just one rib?"


中文翻译

在伊甸园里,亚当对上帝说:“我很孤独,我需要一个伴侣。”

“好吧,”上帝答道,“我将为你创造一个完美的女人——美丽、聪明又温柔。她会为你做饭、打扫,为你做一切事情,毫无怨言,也不会有疑问。”

“听起来太棒了,”亚当说,“但是,创造这样一个完美的女人,代价是什么呢?”

“一条手臂和一条腿。”

“噢,那太贵了!”亚当想了一会儿,问道:“那一根肋骨怎么样?”
