【孪生龙虾】

　　

　　我当演员取得成功后，想在妈妈面前炫耀一番。于是，我带着她到拉斯维加斯的凯撒宫去吃饭。在菜谱中有道菜是“孪生龙虾--45美元。”

　　

　　“你为什么不点那个呢，妈？”我问道：“我知道你很喜欢吃龙虾了。”

　　

　　她满眼狐疑地看着我，然后摇了摇头。“他们怎么知道它们确实是孪生的呢？”

　　

　　【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?"
