英語笑話

334　What about the Senate? 參議院那邊怎么樣？

Working on Capitol Hill, my husband was under constant pressure. After one late night session, he came home exhausted and went straight to bed. When I turned out the light, he sat up in a panic. “Is everything okay in the House?” he asked. “Yes, honey,” I answered. “I locked the doors and turned down the heat.” “That's good,” he said, lying back down, his eyelids heavy. “What about the Senate?”

我丈夫在國會山莊工作，處于持續(xù)的壓力之下。那天，又工作了大半宿，他筋疲力盡地回到家里，直接就上了床。當我把燈關(guān)掉的時候，他驚慌地坐了起來，問：“眾議院那邊都好嗎？”我回答說：“親愛的，都好。我鎖了門，關(guān)了暖氣?！薄澳呛?。”他說，又躺了回去，眼皮發(fā)沉。“參議院那邊怎么樣？”
