英语常用口语每天学 第59课:为右撇子设计的表

Billy: You're so witty...

Jennifer: So why is the face tilted to the right?

Billy: This watch is supposed to be worn on your left hand.

Jennifer: So it's not as convenient for left-handed people?

Billy: It's better for right-handed people like me. See, I don't even have to move my arm to see the time.

Jennifer: I'm left-handed. You bought that watch so that I won't borrow it...

Billy: Bingo!

珍妮花：这个表面怎么歪向右边啊？

比　利：这只表本来是让你戴左手的。

珍妮花：那这对于左撇子的人就没那么方便了？

珍妮花：我是左撇子。你买那只表是为了不让我借……

比　利：答对了！
