Recently launched into the “real world” and shocked by the expenses that came with it, my son was complaining about the high cost of auto insurance. “If you got married,” I teased, “the premium would be lower.” He smiled. “That would be like buying an airline just to get free peanuts.”
我儿子最近才踏入社会,就被随之而来的各种各样的开支所震惊。他正在抱怨汽车保险太贵,我戏弄他说:“你如果结婚,保险费就会便宜一些。”他笑笑说:“这就像为了免费的花生米去买飞机票一样。”
