Ear Short
耳聋
I thought my wife, Barbara, was losing her hearing, so one day I decided to test it.
我以为我的妻子芭芭拉耳聋了。有一天,我想证明一下,
I quietly walked in the front door and stood 30 feet behind her,
我轻轻走进前门,站在她后面三十英尺的地方,
"Barbara," I said, "can you hear me?"
“芭芭拉,”我说,“你听得见我吗?”
There was no response, so I moved to 20 feet behind her behind her,
她没有回答。所以我又走过去一些,站在她后面二十英尺的地方,
"Barbara," I repeated, "can you hear me ?" Still no reply.
“芭芭拉,”我重复道,“你听得见我吗?”还是没有回答。
I advanced to 10 feet and asked, "Now can you hear me?"
我又往前到了只有十英尺的地方,我问:“现在听得见吗?”
"Yes, dear," Barbara answered. "For the third time, yes!"
“是的,亲爱的,”芭芭拉说,“我已经说了第三遍了。”
