"I don't like to inquire too curiously into your affairs，"said the lady to her husband."But something's been bothering me for days."

　　"So?" said the husband."Tell me all about it."

　　"You got a letter last Friday，" the lady said."It was perfumed.It was in a girl's handwriting.I saw you oped it：you broke into a sweat.You turned white.Your hands trembled…For goodness'sake，who was it from and what did it say？"

　　"Oh，that，"said the husband."I decided it was best for both of us not to talk about it at the time."

　　"For heaven's sake，"screamed the woman."Tell me who it was from and what it said."

　　"Okay，" said the husband."It was from your dress shop.It said you owe them＄740.00."

　　“我不想过分好奇地打听你的事，”一位女士对丈夫说。“但是这件事已经困扰我好多天了。”

　　“所以呢？”丈夫说。“跟我说说是什么事。”

　　“你上周五收到一封信，”女士说。“那封信洒了香水，是女孩的笔迹。我看你看了信后，突然出了一身冷汗，脸色发白，双手颤抖... .。。看在上帝的份上，那是谁寄来的？上面又写了些什么？”

　　“噢，那件事啊。”丈夫说，“我觉得那时候我们最好不要谈论那件事。”

　　“看在老天的份上，”女人尖叫到。“告诉我那是谁寄来的？信上都说了些什么？”

　　“好吧，”丈夫说。“那是从女装店寄来的。信上说你欠他们740美元。”
