英語笑話:父親的東西 Father's Things
When Tom Howard was seventeen years old he was as tall as his father, so he began to borrow Mr. Howard's clothes when he wanted to go out with his friends in the evening. Mr. Howard did not like this, and he always got very angry when he found his son wearing any of his things. One evening when Tom came downstairs to go out, his father stopped him in the hall. He looked at Tom's clothes very carefully. Then he said angrily, "Isn't that one of my ties, Tom?" "Yes, Father, it is," answered Tom. "And that shirt's mine too." "Yes, that's yours too," answered Tom. "And you're wearing my belt!" said Mr. Howard. "Yes, I am, Father," answered Tom. "You don't want your trousers to fall down, do you?"湯姆.霍德華十七歲的時候，長得和父親一樣高了，於是當他晚上和朋友一起出去時，就開始借父親的衣服穿。 霍德華先生可不喜歡這樣，當他發現他的兒子穿他的衣服時，總是非常生氣。 一天晚上，湯姆下樓準備出去，父親在門廳裏攔住了他。他細細打量着湯姆的穿着。 然後他氣呼呼地說：“湯姆，那不是我的一條領帶嗎？” 湯姆回答說：“是的，父親，是你的領帶。” “還有那襯衫也是我的。” “是的，襯衫也是你的。”湯姆回答說。 “還有呢，你連皮帶也用我的。”霍德華先生說。 “是的，父親，”湯姆回答說，“你不願意讓你的褲子掉下來吧？”
