咂咂嘴

笑話原文】

We Share Everything

An elderly couple goes to Burger King, where they carefully split a burger and fries.

A trucker takes pity on them and offers to buy the wife her own meal.

"It's all right," says the husband. "We share everything."

A few minutes later, the trucker notices that the wife hasn't taken a bite.

"I really wouldn't mind buying your wife her own meal," he insists.

"She'll eat," the husband assures him. "We share everything."

Unconvinced, the trucker implores the wife, "Why aren't you eating?"

The wife snaps, "Because I'm waiting for the teeth!"

中文譯文】

我們分享一切

一對(duì)老夫婦在漢堡王餐廳吃飯，他們小心翼翼地將漢堡和薯?xiàng)l分成兩份。

一個(gè)卡車司機(jī)非常同情他們，就提議想給老太太單獨(dú)點(diǎn)一份。

“沒(méi)關(guān)系的。”老先生說(shuō)，“我們分享一切。”

幾分鐘后，卡車司機(jī)注意到老太太還沒(méi)吃一口東西。

他再次對(duì)老先生說(shuō)，“我真的不介意請(qǐng)您妻子吃一頓……”

“她會(huì)吃的，”老先生向他保證，“我們分享一切。”

司機(jī)不太相信，懇求老太太，“你為什么不吃一點(diǎn)?”

老太太咂咂嘴，“我在等他的假牙。”

詞匯講解】

1.elderly年長(zhǎng)的/近老年的/老人。Old與elderly： old是老的意思 older是比老還要老的意思;elder是年長(zhǎng)，elderly是年長(zhǎng)者 。He is an old man.[他是個(gè)老人。] He is older[他更老。]She is my elder sister.[她是我的姐姐。] Please give up your seat for the elderly[請(qǐng)把位子讓給年長(zhǎng)者。]

2.split分離，劃分。有時(shí)與up連用，比如：split up a cake into 4 lots.把蛋糕分成4份。注意：它的過(guò)去分詞也是split，進(jìn)行時(shí)是splitting，雙寫(xiě)t。

3.offer在文中是“主動(dòng)表示愿意做某事”的意思。還有“出價(jià)”之意：I’ll offer you nine pounds for it.這件東西我愿出9鎊買下來(lái)。

4.unconvinced懷疑的。She looks unconvinced, but says nothing.她看上去沒(méi)有信服，但不作聲。

5.implore懇求，哀求，乞求?？勺骷拔飫?dòng)詞：I implore you to help me.懇請(qǐng)你幫助我。也可作不及物動(dòng)詞：The prisoner implored pardon.囚犯哀求赦免。

6.snap在文中是“咂嘴”的意思。它也有“怒聲責(zé)罵”之意：I snapped at him to sit down.我厲聲命他坐下。
