英語常用口語每天學 第59課:爲右撇子設計的表

Billy: You're so witty...

padding-bottom: 100.47%;">

Jennifer: So why is the face tilted to the right?

Billy: This watch is supposed to be worn on your left hand.

Jennifer: So it's not as convenient for left-handed people?

Billy: It's better for right-handed people like me. See, I don't even have to move my arm to see the time.

Jennifer: I'm left-handed. You bought that watch so that I won't borrow it...

Billy: Bingo!

比　利：這隻表本來是讓你戴左手的。

珍妮花：那這對於左撇子的人就沒那麼方便了？

珍妮花：我是左撇子。你買那隻表是爲了不讓我借……
