181 Falling off the fridge 從冰箱上掉下來
A hearing-impaired person, I was on the phone with my brother, excitedly telling him about the cochlear ear implant I was getting. “I'm going to have a magnet implanted in my head as part of the procedure,” I told him. He asked why, and I read him the technical explanation from a booklet. “Oh,” he said. “I thought it was to keep you from falling off the fridge.”
我是一個聽力受損的人。我正在給弟弟打電話,興奮地告訴他我要做一個耳蝸再造手術(shù)。我告訴他,作為整個過程的一部分,要在我的頭部裝一塊磁鐵。他問我為什么要這樣做。我把一本小冊子里的技術(shù)說明念給他聽。他說:“噢,我以為是要防止你從冰箱上掉下來呢。”
