雙語(yǔ)幽默：太久

　　Too Long

　　The travel editor of a newspaper called, saying she was finally using an article I had written several years earlier. She wanted to be sure the tour information was still correct. "I also wanted to make certain," she sheepishly confessed, "that you're still alive. Whenever the writer has died, I know I've held a story too long."

　　太久

　　一家報(bào)紙的旅行版編輯打開電話，說她終于決定要采用一篇我?guī)啄昵皩懙奈恼?。她想確定那旅游信息是否還可靠。“我還想確定，”她怯怯地坦白道：“您是否還健在。每次發(fā)現(xiàn)作者已經(jīng)不在人世了，我才知道我將文章壓得太久了。”
