老人健忘的笑話 2

(中譯:Chris)

Couple in their nineties are both having problems remembering things. During a checkup, the doctor tells them that they're physically okay, but they might want to start writing things down to help them remember. 有對九十多歲的夫婦,都有健忘的毛病。醫生為他們作健康檢查後,說健康沒大問題,但他們或要開始把事情寫下來,以助記憶。

Later that night, while watching TV, the old man gets up from his chair. "Want anything while I'm in the kitchen?" he asks.當日晚上,兩人在看電視,男人從椅子上起來,說:「我現在到廚房去,要我拿點甚麼給你嗎?」

"Will you get me a bowl of ice cream ?"「拿杯雪糕給我好嗎?」
"Sure." 「好的。」
"Don't you think you should write it down so you can remember it?" she asks. 老太太說:「你要寫下來以免忘記的吧?」

"No, I can remember it." 「不要,我記得的。」


"Well, I'd like some strawberries on top, too. Maybe you
should write it down, so not to forget it?" 「是了,我還要在上面放幾粒楊梅......你還是寫下來吧,不然又忘了。」

He says, "I can remember that. You want a bowl of ice cream with strawberries." 他說:「我記得的啦,你要一杯雪糕,上面放幾粒楊梅嘛。」

"I'd also like whipped cream. I'm certain you'll forget that,
write it down?" she asks.她說:「我還要加點乳酪-----你還是寫寫吧。」
Irritated, he says, "I don't need to write it down, I can
remember it! Ice cream with strawberries and whipped cream - I got it, for goodness sake!" 男人生氣了:「我說不用寫就不用寫!
要一杯雪糕,上面放幾粒楊梅,加點乳酪----記得的啦,不要嘮嘮叨叨好不好!」

Then he toddles into the kitchen. After about 20 minutes, the old man returns from the kitchen and hands his wife a plate of bacon and eggs. She stares at the plate for a moment. 他一拐一拐地進了廚房,20分鐘之後,老人出來,遞了一碟火腿煎雙蛋給老婆。她瞪著碟子好一會。


"Where's my toast?" 「我的烘麵包呢?」
