Two acquaintances were in the barber shop getting shaves at the same time. After the barbers had finished, each man was asked if he would like some after-shave applied¹ to his skin.

两个熟识的朋友刚好同时在理发店内刮胡子。理发师刮完他们的胡子后，两人都被问到要不要在脸上抹上一些刮胡子后所使用的香水。

“No, no,” answered the first man. “My wife will think I’ve been in a whorehouse.”

“不，不，”第一个先生说。“我太太会以为我去过妓院。”

“Go ahead,” said the other. “My wife has never been in a whorehouse!”

“我没关系，”另一个先生说道“。我太太从没在妓院待过！”
