英语幽默：给予与提取(中英双语)

　　Give and take

　　给予与提取

　　My friend's preparations for a visit from her children included a trip to the bank. Waiting in line at the teller's window, she lamented to the middle-aged man behind' her,"My children are in their 20's，and I'm still giving them money. When does it end?"

　　我的朋友为其子女的光临做着一些准备工作。这些工作当然包括要到银行去一超。当她在出纳员的窗外排队等候时，她对她身后的一位中年男子说:“我的孩子们都20多岁了，可我仍然得给他们钱。这种事什么时候才算完呢?”

　　"I'm not sure，"the man replied while glancing uncomfortably at a paper in his hand，"but I`m not the one to ask. I'm here to deposit a check my mother gave me."

　　“我可不知道。”那位男子边回答边不安地看着手里拿着的那张纸。“我可不是你该问的人，我到这儿是来支取我妈妈给我的支票的。”
