—个小伙子决定提前下班去喝酒。他一直喝到凌晨3点酒吧关门，当时他醉得一塌糊涂，离开酒吧步行回家。 回家之后，他不想惊动任何人,于是脱下鞋子，蹑手蹑脚地上了楼梯。然而，他走到楼梯中间时，不慎向后摔了下来，背部先着了地。摔得不是很严重，只是他后面的口袋里有两个空瓶子，瓶子碎了,碎玻璃把他的背划伤得很严重。然而他醉得很厉害，根本不知道自己被划伤了。 一会儿他脱衣服时,发现有血迹，于是自己照镜子察看，背部确实被割伤很厉害，他尽最大的努力把伤口处理了一下,然后上床睡觉了。 第二天早晨，他头很痛，背也痛，自己躺在被子里，想着编造些什么理由，这时妻子走进了卧室。 “看来你昨晚真的很累，”妻子问道，“你到哪里去了？” "我工作到很晚，"他说，“工作期间喝了两三杯啤酒o" "两三杯啤酒？真是笑话，”她说道，"昨晚你贴了那么多胶布，你到哪里去了？” “你怎么就这么确定我昨晚喝多了？" “好啦，”她回答，“我最重要的依据是,今天早晨起床时，发现镜子上贴了一排邦迪胶布。” I Know You Were Drunk Yesterday A fellow decides to take off early from work and go drinking. He stays until the bar closes at three in the morning, at which time he is extremely drunk. After leaving the bar, he returns home on foot. When he enters his house, he doesn’t want to wake anyone, so he takes off his shoes and starts tip-toeing up the stairs. Half-way up the stairs though, he falls over backwards and lands flat on his back. That wouldn't have been so bad, except that he had couple of empty bottles in his back pockets, and they broke ； the broken glass carved up his back terribly. Yet, he was so drunk that he didn’t know he was hurt. A few minutes later, as he was undressing, he noticed blood, so he checked himself out in the mirror, and, sure enough, his behind was cut up terribly. He then repaired the damage as best he could under the circumstances, and he went to bed. The next morning, his head was hurting, his back was hurting, and he was hunkering under the covers trying to think up some good story，when his wife came into the bedroom. “Well, you’re really tired last night," she said. “Where’d you go?" "I worked late," he said，”and I stopped off for a couple of beers.” "A couple of beers? That，s a laugh," she replied. "You got plastered last night. Where did you go?” "What makes you so sure I got drunk last night, anyway?” "Well,” she replied，" my first big clue was when I got up this morning and found a bunch of band -aids stuck to the mirror.” |
