Find a Girl Just Like Your Mother | 找一个像你母亲一样的女孩

English Original

No matter which girls he brought home, the young man found disapproval from his mother. A friend gave him advice: "Find a girl just like your mother — then, she's bound to like her."

So the young man searched and searched, and finally found the girl. He told his friendly adviser: "Just like you said, I found a girl who looked, talked, dressed, and even cooked like mother. And just as you said, mother liked her."

"So," asked the friend, "what happened?"

"Nothing," said the young man. "My father hates her!"


中文翻译

有个小伙子发现,无论他带什么女孩子回家,妈妈都不赞成。一位朋友建议他:“你找一个像你母亲一样的女孩吧——你母亲肯定会喜欢她的。”

这个小伙子就找啊找啊,终于找到了一个女孩。他告诉自己的朋友:“就像你说的,我找到了一个女孩,无论在长相、谈吐、打扮,甚至烹饪手艺都很像母亲,而且真的像你说的那样,妈妈很喜欢她。”

“那么,”他的朋友问到,“发生了什么事?”

“没事,”小伙子说,“我父亲很讨厌她!”
