Ronnie: Is your new hunting horse well behaved?

Johnnie: He certainly is. He has such good manners that when we come to a fence, he stops and lets me go over first.

Ronnie：你的新獵馬表現(xiàn)得好嗎？

Johnnie：非常好。他風(fēng)度很好，我們到柵欄時(shí)，它就停下讓我先過去。

小編插話：“主人優(yōu)先”是馬的風(fēng)度，一笑置之是主人的風(fēng)度。

In case my life should end because of the cannibals, I hope someone will write on my tombstone, “we have eaten Dr. Schweitzer. He was good to the end.”

假如我的生命結(jié)束在食人族，我希望他們?cè)谖业哪贡蠈懮?，“我們吃了Schweitzer博士，他（從頭）到腳都好（吃）”。

小編插話：He was good to the end在英語(yǔ)里還可理解為“他一直到生命的最后都很好”。有智慧的人自嘲的時(shí)候還會(huì)小小的自我標(biāo)榜一把。

Were lucky we have an apartment, If we lived in our car, we'd be home by now.

幸運(yùn)的是我們還有房子住，我們?nèi)绻≡谄嚴(yán)?，現(xiàn)在就到家里了。

小編插話：如果你爸爸在車?yán)锉г菇煌〒矶?，你不妨這么幫他解嘲。

I have flabby[松弛] thighs[大腿], but fortunately my stomach covers them.

我大腿很松弛，但幸運(yùn)的是被我的肚子蓋住了。

小編插話：眼睛向下看不見大腿，只能看見肚子的時(shí)候，該慶幸至少大腿的贅肉看不見了。

Frankly, I never considered myself bald until I went to a formal dinner and bent over to pick up a napkin. The woman next to me looked down at my head, turned to the waiter and said, “No melon, thank you.”

坦白說(shuō)，我從不認(rèn)為我禿頂，直到有一次我去一家正規(guī)的餐廳，彎腰撿餐巾時(shí)，挨著我坐的女人低頭看著我的腦袋，轉(zhuǎn)向服務(wù)員說(shuō)，“不要瓜，謝謝你?！?/p>

小編插話：對(duì)自己的某些缺陷其實(shí)不用諱莫如深，偶爾自己開它一個(gè)玩笑，你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)，其實(shí)誰(shuí)在乎呢。
