周六晚上，两个老年人正在玩牌，在过去的35年里他们一直都是这样。马克斯年龄大些，记忆力不好，记不清手里拿的是什么牌,常常需要他妻子的帮助。 玩牌结束时，艾德对马克斯说：“今晚你打得不错，一点也没用别人帮是什么原因啊？” 马克斯回答道："因为妻子送我上了记忆力培训学校，从此我的记忆力就不存在问题了。” “记忆力培训学校？什么样的记忆力培训学校?” 马克斯想了一会儿："噢，那种红色的、带刺的花叫什么花儿？的确非常漂亮的花儿……” “玫瑰?” “啊……就是它！"马克斯转向妻子，咕哝着，"嘿，罗斯！你送我去的那个记忆力培训学校叫什么？” Memory Loss Two elderly gentlemen are playing cards on Saturday evening as they have done for the past 35 years. Max, the older, had been having problems remembering what cards were what, and usually needed help from his wife. At the end of the card game Ed said to Max, “You did very good tonight. You didn’t need any help at all. Why is that?” Max replied, “Ever since my wife sent me to that memory school，I haven’t had any problems at all. ” “Memory school? What memory school?” Max thought for a moment, “Oh, what's that flower that’s red with thorns? A really pretty flower. “A rose?” “Yeah... that’s it!” Max turned to his bled, “Hey, Rose! What’s the name of that you sent me to?” 注：在英语中rose既是玫瑰花,又是人名罗斯 |
