英語幽默笑話：恭維話

"Larry! Come here!" said his furious mother, putting the telephone down, " I’ve just had a call 　　from Mrs. Harrison about your behavior to her Doris at the school dance last night. You wretched, rude boy!"

"I was nice to her, Mum, really I was!" protested the youth.

"I even paid her a compliment when we had a dance."

"Did you, indeed?" said his mother grimly, "And what exactly did you say?"

"I said, Gosh, Doris, you sweat less than any fat girl I’ve ever danced with!"

恭維話

“拉里，你過來!”媽媽放下電話后生氣地說，“我剛才接到哈里森夫人地電話，她告訴我你在昨晚的學(xué)校舞會上對多麗絲行為不好，你可恥，粗魯!”

“媽媽，我對她很好，真的!”小伙子不服氣地說。“當(dāng)我和她跳舞時我還說了一句恭維她的話。”

“你真的這么做的嗎?”媽媽嚴(yán)厲地問。“你的原話是怎么說的?”

“我說，啊呀，多麗絲，你比我跳過舞的任何胖姑娘出汗都少!”
