There was once a large，fat woman who had a small，thin husband. He had a job in a big company and was given his weekly wages every Friday evening. As soon as he got home on Fridays，his wife used to make hirn give her all his money，and then she used to give him back only enough to buy his lunch in the office every day.
曾有一位块儿大、膘肥的女人，她的丈夫却是瘦小、干瘪。丈夫是在一家大公司做事。每到周五晚上领到工资，也正是周五这位丈夫回家时，老婆就让他把所有钱都交出来，然后再给他一点儿在办公室吃午饭的钱。

One day the small man came home very excited. He hurried into the living-room. His wife was listening to the radio and eating chocolates.”You'll never guess what happened to me today，dear,"he said. He waited for a few seconds and then added:“I won ten thousand pounds on the lottery!”
一天，这位小丈夫回到家，兴奋得不得了。他匆匆忙忙地来到起居室。他老婆正在那儿听广播，吃巧克力。“亲爱的，你永远也猜不到我今天怎么了，”他说道，过了数秒钟他又说:“我中了一万英磅的彩票。”

"That's wonderful!"said his wife delightedly. But then she thought for a few seconds and added angrily，"But wait a moment! How could you afford to buy the ticket?".
“太棒了!”他老婆非常高兴地说。但她又沉思了一会儿并气愤地问:“你说说，你拿什么钱买的彩票?”
