7. The“Deaf”Wife

　　A man is talking to the family doctor.“Doctor, I doubt whether my wife's goingdeaf.”The doctor answers,“Here’s something you can try on her to test her hearing. Stand some meters away from her and ask her a question. If she doesn't answer, move a little closer and ask again. Keep repeating this until she answers.Then you'll be able to tell if she is deaf or not.”

　　The man goes home and begins to test his wife's hearing. He stands by the wall and says,“My dear, what's for dinner?”He doesn't hear an answer, so he moves closer to her.“My dear, what's for dinner?”Still no answer. He repeats this several times, until he's standing just a few feet away from her.

　　Finally, she answers,“For the eleventh time, I said we're having meat and rice!”

　　【漢語翻譯】

　　“耳聾的”妻子

　　某人對他的家庭醫生說，“醫生，我懷疑(doubt)我妻子(wife)要聾(deaf)了。”醫生回答說，“有個辦法可以測試(test)她的聽力。你站(stand)在離她幾米遠(some meters away)的地方，然后問她一個問題(question)。如果她不回答，你再走近點(a little closer)，然后再問。如此重復(repeat)直到她聽到為止。那時你就可以判斷她是否聾了。”

　　這人回家后便開始測試他妻子的聽力。他站在墻的旁邊(by the wall)說，“親愛的(dear)，晚飯(dinner)吃什么？”他沒聽到回答，于是又朝妻子走近了些。“親愛的，晚飯吃什么？”仍然(still)沒有回答。他如此反復了幾次(several times)．直到他離妻子只有幾英尺(a few feet)的地方。

　　最后(finally)，她回答道，“我都說了十一次了，我說咱們要吃肉(meat)和米飯(rice)。”
