美国流行笑话：Doesn't last very long 放不太久

184　Doesn't last very long 放不太久

Our neighbor gave us a pumpkin pie as a holiday gift. It was clear from the first bite that the pie tasted bad. It was so inedible that we had to throw it away. Ever gracious and tactful, my wife still felt obliged to send the neighbor a note. It read “Thank you very much for the pumpkin pie. Something like that doesn't last very long in our house.”
我们的邻居送给我们一个南瓜馅饼作为节日礼物。咬了一口就知道味道极差。实在没法吃，只能扔掉。我妻子向来很慈祥、得体。她觉得还是要给邻居写一张谢卡。她写道：“非常感谢你们的南瓜馅饼。像这样的东西在我们家是放不太久的。”
