Two elderly couples were sharing a friendlyconversation when one of the men asked the other, "Fred, how was the memory clinic you went to lastmonth?" "Outstanding," Fred replied. "They taught usall the advanced techniques—X-ray, hearing aid,radiation, etc. It was great! ""That's great. Andwhat was the name of the clinic?" the latter asked.Fred went blank. He thought and thought, butcouldn't remember. Then a smile broke across hisface and he asked, "What do you call that flower with the long stem and thorns?"
两对老夫妻正在愉快地聊天,其中一个老头问另一个,“弗瑞德,上个月你去的那家记忆恢复所怎么样?”“非常棒,”弗瑞德回答:“他们教给我们所有先进的技术:X光,助听器,放射等等。真是太好了。”“这么棒!诊所名字叫什么?”后者问。弗瑞德脑袋一片空白,想了很久,却怎么也记不起来。过了一会儿他脸上出现了一丝笑容,问:“那种长着长长的茎,带着刺的花叫什么?”
"You mean a rose?"
“你是说玫瑰?”
"Yes, that's it!" He turned to his wife, "Rose, what was the name of that memory clinic?"
“是的,就是玫瑰!”然后他转头问妻子,“露丝(玫瑰),那家记忆恢复诊所叫什么名字来着?”
