英文短篇故事（纽约）305 My Wife's Better Than Yours

 　　They were at a small Japanese restaurant on Second Avenue¹. "You're a very lucky man," said Sylvia. William said, "Is that so?" Sylvia asked, "Do you know why you're a very lucky man?" William said, "I'm not sure. Because I have a good job?" Sylvia said, "Because Laura is your wife. That's why you're a very lucky man." William said, "You're so right. I am very lucky to have Laura as my wife. In fact, I'm not just 'very lucky.' I'm the luckiest man in the world. I have the best wife in the world!" A man sitting at the next table said, "You have the best wife in the world? I beg to differ. I have the best wife in the world!" A man at another table said, "Neither of you are correct. I have the best wife in the world! And I have the photos to prove it!"
