Do you call that a hat 你把那個叫帽子嗎?
【課文】
'Do you call that a hat?' I said to my wife.
'You needn't be so rude about it,' my wife answered as she looked at herself in the mirror.
I sat down on one of those modern chairs with holes in it and waited. We had been in the hat shop for half an hour and my wife was still in front of the mirror.
'We mustn't buy things we don't need,' I remarked suddenly. I regretted saying it almost at once.
'You needn't have said that,' my wife answered. 'I needn't remind you of that terrible tie you bought yesterday.'
'I find it beautiful,' I said. 'A man can never have too many ties.'
'And a woman can't have too many hats,' she answered.
Ten minutes later we walked out of the shop together. My wife was wearing a hat that looked like a lighthouse!
【課文翻譯】
“你把那個叫帽子嗎?”我對妻子說。
“你說話沒必要這樣不客氣，”我的妻子邊回答邊照著鏡子。
我坐在一個新式的滿是網(wǎng)眼兒的椅子上，等待著。我們在這家帽店已經(jīng)呆了半個小時了，而我的妻子仍在鏡子面前。
“我們不應(yīng)該買我們不需要的東西，”我突然發(fā)表意見說，但馬上又后悔說了這話。
“你沒必要這么說，”我妻子回答說，“我也不必提醒你昨天買的那條糟糕透了的領(lǐng)帶。”
“我覺得它好看，”我說，“男人有多少領(lǐng)帶也不會嫌多。”
“女人有多少帽子也不嫌多。”她回答。
10分鐘以后，我們一道走出了商店。我妻子戴著一頂像燈塔一樣的帽子。
