雙語笑話: 我們是坐着相愛的

Although I had never met him, I knew that my grandfather had been five feet, six inches tall, while my stately grandmother stood five feet, eleven inches. As a teen-ager leafing through old photographs with Grandma, I finally realized how unusual they must have looked together.

"Grandma, " I asked, "how could you have fallen in love with a man five inches shorter than you?"

She turned to me. "Honey," she said, "we fell in love sitting down, and when I stood up, it was too late."

　　儘管我從未見過我祖父，但我知道他身高五英尺六，而我高貴的祖母身高五英尺十一。十幾歲的時候，我和祖母一起一頁一頁地翻着老照片，我終於認識到他們在一起是多麼不同尋常。

“奶奶，”我問道，“你怎麼會愛上一個比你矮五英寸的人呢？”

她轉過臉來看着我。“寶貝，”她說，“我們是坐着相愛的。當我站起來的時候，已經太晚了。”
