第10章 Death in the Family

A man in a bar sees a friend at a table, drinking by himself.

Approaching the friend, he comments,"You look terrible. What's the problem? "

"My mother died in June, "he said,"and left me $10, 000. "

"Gee, that's tough. "he replied.

"Then in July, "the friend continued,"my father died, leaving me $50, 000. "

"Wow. Two parents gone in two months. No wonder you're depressed. "

"And last month, my aunt died, and left me $15, 000. "

"Three close family members lost in three months? How sad. "

"Then this month, "continued the friend,"nothing! "

家庭中的死亡

在酒吧，一个男人看见他的朋友坐在桌边独自喝酒。

他走到朋友身边说：“你看起来很糟糕。出了什么事？”

“我母亲在六月去世了，”他说，“留给我一万美元。”

“呃，这可真糟糕。”他回应着。

“然后七月的时候，”朋友继续说，“我父亲死了，留给我五万美元。”

“哇，两个月内双亲相继死去，难怪你这么悲伤。”

“上个月我姑妈过世了，留给我一万五千美元。”

“在三个月内失去三个亲近的家人？真悲惨。”

“然后在这个月，”朋友继续道，“什么都没有！”
