Much lmproved

The other day at work I ran into Bob. We chatted over lunch and he dropped a bombshell on me.“Rodney”,he said,“Becky and I are going to get a divorce.”

I was stunned.“Why?What happened,you two seem so happy together.”

“Well,”he said,“ever since we got married,my wife has tried to change me. She got me to stop drinking,smoking,running around at all hours of the night and more. She taught me how to dress well,enjoy the fine arts,gourmet cooking,classical music and how to invest in the stock market.”

“Are you a little bitter because she spent so much time trying to change you?”I probed.

“Nah,I’m not bitter. Now that I’m so improved,she just isn’t good enough for me.”

尽善尽美

一天,我上班的时候,碰到了鲍勃。午餐时我们边吃边聊,他突然向我透露了一个令人吃惊的消息。“罗德尼,”他说,“贝基和我准备离婚了。”

我感到很震惊。“为什么?发生什么事了?你们俩看起来倒是很幸福的。”

“哎”,他说,“自从我们结婚以来,我老婆一直试图改变我。她让我戒酒、戒烟,不让我在晚上东奔西跑,还管很多事情。她还教我怎样穿着体面,怎样欣赏艺术,怎样烹调美食,怎样欣赏古典音乐,怎样在证券市场投资。”

“是否因为她花了这么大的精力来改变你,使你对她怀恨在心?”我试探地问道。

“不,我一点也不恨她。既然我已经如此完美了,她怎么配得上我?”
