英文笑话：To Patch the Hole 补洞

A young man came home from work and found his bride upset. "I feel terrible," she said. "I was pressing your suit and I burned a big hole in the seat of your trousers."

"Forget it," consoled her husband. "Remember that I've got an extra pair of pants for that suit."

"Yes," said the woman, cheering up. "And it's lucky you have. I used them to patch¹ the hole."

丈夫下班回到家里，发现自己的新娘心绪烦乱。“我心里太难受了，”她说。“我在给你熨西装时把裤子的臀部烧了个大洞。”

“没事儿，”丈夫安慰她说。“你忘了我这套衣服有两条裤子。”

“是的，”妻子高兴地说，“幸亏你还有一条，我后来就用它来补了这个洞了。”
