I complimented one of my co-workers on having lost ten pounds. However, I couldn't resist bragging that when I was 17, 1 weighed 225 pounds and today I tip the scales at 224. 1 added, "That's not bad for a man of my age."　　
Overhearing this, a woman remarked, "You mean to say it took you all this time to lose one pound?"
我稱贊我的一個同事減肥10磅。可是，我禁不住夸耀說我17歲時，體重225磅，而目前體重是224磅。我還說：“這對我這樣年齡的男子來說，是不錯的。” 　　
一個女子聽到了這些話，她說道：“你是說你花了這么長時間才減了1磅？”
