美國流行笑話：Doesn't last very long 放不太久

184　Doesn't last very long 放不太久

Our neighbor gave us a pumpkin pie as a holiday gift. It was clear from the first bite that the pie tasted bad. It was so inedible that we had to throw it away. Ever gracious and tactful, my wife still felt obliged to send the neighbor a note. It read “Thank you very much for the pumpkin pie. Something like that doesn't last very long in our house.”
我們的鄰居送給我們一個南瓜餡餅作為節(jié)日禮物。咬了一口就知道味道極差。實(shí)在沒法吃，只能扔掉。我妻子向來很慈祥、得體。她覺得還是要給鄰居寫一張謝卡。她寫道：“非常感謝你們的南瓜餡餅。像這樣的東西在我們家是放不太久的。”
