English Original
Mrs. Jones was still cleaning the house when her husband came home from work. She was wearing dirty old clothes and no stockings, her hair was untidy, her face was dusty, and she looked exhausted. Her husband looked at her and said, "Is this what I come home to after a hard day's work?"
Mrs. Jones's neighbor, Mrs. Black, was visiting. Upon hearing Mr. Jones's remark, she quickly said goodbye and rushed home. There, she washed, carefully brushed and combed her hair, put on her prettiest stockings, applied makeup, and waited for her husband.
When Mr. Black arrived, he was hot and tired. He walked slowly into the house, saw his wife, and stopped. Then he shouted angrily, "And what are you going to do this evening?"

琼斯先生下班回家时，琼斯太太仍在打扫房间。她穿着又脏又旧的衣服，没穿袜子，头发凌乱，脸上满是灰尘，看起来疲惫不堪。她丈夫看着她说道：“这就是我辛苦工作一天后回家要看到的吗？”
当时，琼斯太太的邻居布莱克太太正在做客。听到琼斯先生的话，她立刻告辞，匆匆跑回家。在家里，她洗漱一番，仔细地梳理了头发，穿上最漂亮的袜子，化好妆，然后等待丈夫归来。
布莱克先生到家时又热又累。他慢慢地走进屋子，看到妻子后停了下来，然后生气地大声吼道：“那你今天晚上打算干什么去？”
