Unit 5 Son-in-law

女婿

A very successful businessman had a meeting with his new son-in-law. “I love my daughter, and now I welcome you into the family,” remarked the guy.
有个事业很成功的商人见了他的新女婿后对他说：“我很爱我女儿，欢迎你成为家族的一分子。”

“To welcome you into the family, I’m making you a 50-50 partner in my business.”
“为了表示我的诚意，我让你成为我事业的另一半合伙人。”

“All you have to do is pick up parts and deliver them to the clients.”
“你只要负责带着零件，送到客户那边就行了。”

The son-in-law interrupted, “I hate driving. I can’t stand the noise.”
女婿打岔道：“我讨厌开车，受不了噪声。”

“I see,” replied the father-in-law. “Well, then you’ll work in the factory and learn the ropes there.”
“我懂。”岳父回答：“那好，你去工厂工作，学点相关诀窍也不错。”

“I hate factories,” remarked the son-inlaw. “I can’t stand being stuck in one place all day.”
“我讨厌工厂，”女婿回答：“我受不了整天困在同一个地方。”

“Hey,” remarked the father-in-law. “I just make you half-owner of a moneymaking business, but you don’t like to drive a truck and won’t work in the factory. What am I going to do with you?”
“喂，”岳父说：“你刚成为一个赚钱事业的半个老板，可是你既不喜欢开卡车又不喜欢到工厂工作。那你要我怎么办？”

“Easy,” said the young guy. “Buy me out.”
“简单，”年轻人说：“把我那一半买会回去的了。”
