陈宋伊 [英语原文] A woman was ill, so she went to see the doctor. He was a new doctor and didnt know her. So he asked, "How old are you?" "Well," she answered, "Let me think." She thought for a minute and then said, "Oh, I remember now, doctor! When I married I was eighteen years old, and my husband was thirty. Now my husband is sixty, I know. And that is twice thirty. So Im twice eighteen. That is thirty-six, isnt it?" [汉语翻译] 一个妇女病了,所以她去看医生。他是个新医生,不认识她。他问:“你多大了?” “嗯,”她回答,“让我想想。”她想了一会儿,然后说,“哦,我现在想起来了,医生。我结婚的时候十八岁,我丈夫三十岁。现在我丈夫六十岁了,我知道,这是三十的两倍。所以我的年纪是十八的两倍。那是三十六岁,不是吗?” [口诵心惟] “for a minute”是一個短语,“a minute”不能理解成“一分钟”,而是指“一会儿”“片刻”。 读完文章后,请你告诉我,这个妇女到底多大年纪了?
