孿生龍蝦

  我當演員取得成功後,想在媽媽面前炫耀一番。於是,我帶著她到拉斯維加斯的凱撒宮去吃飯。在菜譜中有道菜是「孿生龍蝦--45美元。」

  「你為什麼不點那個呢,媽?」我問道:「我知道你很喜歡吃龍蝦了。」

  她滿眼狐疑地看著我,然後搖了搖頭。「他們怎麼知道它們確實是孿生的呢?」

Twin Lobsters

Once I had achieved success as an entertainer, I wanted to impress my Mom. I brought her to Las Vegas for dinner at Caesar's Palace. Among other items, the menu listed "Twin Lobsters - $45."

"Why don't you order that, Mom?" I asked. "I know how much you like lobster."

She looked at me with the eyes of a skeptic and shook her head. "How do they know they're really twins?"
