双语故事:Blind Date(相亲)

【英文原文】

Blind Date——相亲

After being with her all evening, the man couldn't take another minute with his blind date.

Earlier, he had secretly arranged to have a friend call him to the phone so he would have an excuse to leave.

When he returned to the table, he lowered his eyes, put on a grim expression and said,

"I have some bad news. My grandfather just died.

""Thank heavens," his date replied. "If yours hadn't, mine would have had to!"

【中文译文】

和相亲对象呆了一晚上后，男人再也受不了了。

他事先安排了个朋友给他打电话，这样他就能借故先离开了。

当他回到桌边，他垂下眼睛，装出一副阴沉的表情，说：“有个不幸的消息，我的祖父刚刚去世了。”

“谢天谢地！”他的约会对象说，“如果你的祖父不死，我的祖父就得死了！”
