A man always went to the same bar at the same time every day and asked for two glasses of beer. He drank them and then asked for two more.
One day the man behind the bar said to him，“Why do you always ask for two glasses of beer？Why don’t you get one big glass instead？”The man answered，“Because I do not like to drink alone. I drink with my friend.”
But a few days later the man came in and asked only for one beer.“Oh，”said the barman，“has your friend died？”“Oh，no，”said the man.“He is very well. This beer is for him. But I have stopped drinking beer. My doctor doesn’t want me to drink any more because it is dangerous for me.”

一男子每天同一时候都会到同一家酒吧喝啤酒。他先喝两杯，接着再来两杯。
一天，酒吧招待问他：“为什么你总是两杯一起喝？干吗不拿一个大杯来喝？”该男子答道：“我不愿意一个人喝，因为这样太寂寞了。我这是和朋友一起喝。”
但几天以后，该男子进来只要了一杯啤酒。“哎，”酒吧招待道，“你朋友是不是去世了？”“没有，”男子答道，“他身体很好。这杯酒是替他喝的。我已经戒酒了，因为医生不让我再喝了，说喝酒对身体有很大危害。”
