笑话原文】

We Share Everything

An elderly couple goes to Burger King, where they carefully split a burger and fries.

A trucker takes pity on them and offers to buy the wife her own meal.

"It's all right," says the husband. "We share everything."

A few minutes later, the trucker notices that the wife hasn't taken a bite.

"I really wouldn't mind buying your wife her own meal," he insists.

"She'll eat," the husband assures him. "We share everything."

Unconvinced, the trucker implores² the wife, "Why aren't you eating?"

The wife snaps, "Because I'm waiting for the teeth!"


中文译文】

我们分享一切

一对老夫妇在汉堡王餐厅吃饭，他们小心翼翼地将汉堡和薯条分成两份。

一个卡车司机非常同情他们，就提议想给老太太单独点一份。

“没关系的。”老先生说，“我们分享一切。”

几分钟后，卡车司机注意到老太太还没吃一口东西。

他再次对老先生说，“我真的不介意请您妻子吃一顿……”

“她会吃的，”老先生向他保证，“我们分享一切。”

司机不太相信，恳求老太太，“你为什么不吃一点？”

老太太咂咂嘴，“我在等他的假牙。”
