英語(yǔ)幽默：給予與提取(中英雙語(yǔ))

　　Give and take

　　給予與提取

　　My friend's preparations for a visit from her children included a trip to the bank. Waiting in line at the teller's window, she lamented to the middle-aged man behind' her,"My children are in their 20's，and I'm still giving them money. When does it end?"

　　我的朋友為其子女的光臨做著一些準(zhǔn)備工作。這些工作當(dāng)然包括要到銀行去一超。當(dāng)她在出納員的窗外排隊(duì)等候時(shí)，她對(duì)她身后的一位中年男子說(shuō):“我的孩子們都20多歲了，可我仍然得給他們錢。這種事什么時(shí)候才算完呢?”

　　"I'm not sure，"the man replied while glancing uncomfortably at a paper in his hand，"but I`m not the one to ask. I'm here to deposit a check my mother gave me."

　　“我可不知道。”那位男子邊回答邊不安地看著手里拿著的那張紙。“我可不是你該問(wèn)的人，我到這兒是來(lái)支取我媽媽給我的支票的。”
