back Sarcastically
A couple drove several miles down a country road, not saying
a word.An earlier discussion had led to an argument, and neither
wanted to concede their position.
As they passed a barnyard of mules and pigs, the wife sarcastically
asked, “relatives of yours?"
"Yep," the husband replied, "In-laws."
反唇相讥
一对夫妻在乡村开车走了几英里也没说一句话,因为他们先前在争论一个问题,谁也不想让步。
当他们经过关骡子和猪的畜棚场,妻子讥讽地问道:“它们是你的亲戚?”
“是的,”丈夫回答道,“姻亲。”

200、Complain
A man had a habit of buying things immediately after reading
the ads about the products in the paper. Naturally, his wife
was not too happy about it.
One day the man read an ad about a sale on steel-belted radial
tires. He jumped up, exclaiming that he would quickly buy four
tires while the sale was on.
The wife complained, “I don't know what's wrong with you. You
are going to buy four expensive tires when you've got a crappy
old car?”
The man replied, “Don't make such a big deal about it! I don't
complain when you buy new bras, do I?”
抱怨
一个男人有个习惯,就是一看到报纸有产品广告就立即要买。
当然,他老婆并不高兴。
一天,男人看到一个有着高品质钢轴的轮胎的广告。他跳了起来,惊呼产品一上市就要买四个。
妻子抱怨道:“我真不明白你是怎么了。你居然要为你那辆老爷车配制四只昂贵的轮胎?”
男人回敬道:“别唠叨,当你买胸罩时我可从未抱怨过,是不是?”
