A couple drove down a country road for several miles, not saying a word. An earlier discussion had led to an argument and neither of them wanted to concede their position.
As they passed a barnyard of mules, goats and pigs, the husband asked sarcastically, "Relatives of yours?"
"Yep," the wife replied, "in-laws."
一對夫婦在一條鄉(xiāng)間小路上開車行駛了好幾里路,沒有說一句話。他們剛剛進行過一場爭論,沒有人想承認對方對了。
當他們經過一個養(yǎng)著騾子、山羊與豬的農場時,丈夫挖苦地說:“這些是你的親戚嗎?”
“是的,”妻子回答,“法律上的。”
Tips:這里為什么說是法律上的(in-laws)呢?因為在英文中,mother-in-law意指婆婆或岳母,father-in-law意指公公或岳父等……總之這里的in-laws指的是丈夫家的親戚。
