女婿

A very successful businessman had a meeting with his new son-in-law. “I love my daughter, and now I welcome you into the family,” remarked the guy.
有個(gè)事業(yè)很成功的商人見(jiàn)了他的新女婿后對(duì)他說(shuō)：“我很愛(ài)我女兒，歡迎你成為家族的一分子?！?/div>

“To welcome you into the family, I’m making you a 50-50 partner in my business.”
“為了表示我的誠(chéng)意，我讓你成為我事業(yè)的另一半合伙人?！?/div>

“All you have to do is pick up parts and deliver them to the clients.”
“你只要負(fù)責(zé)帶著零件，送到客戶(hù)那邊就行了?！?/div>

The son-in-law interrupted, “I hate driving. I can’t stand the noise.”
女婿打岔道：“我討厭開(kāi)車(chē)，受不了噪聲?！?/div>

“I see,” replied the father-in-law. “Well, then you’ll work in the factory and learn the ropes there.”
“我懂?！痹栏富卮穑骸澳呛?，你去工廠工作，學(xué)點(diǎn)相關(guān)訣竅也不錯(cuò)?！?/div>

“I hate factories,” remarked the son-inlaw. “I can’t stand being stuck in one place all day.”
“我討厭工廠，”女婿回答：“我受不了整天困在同一個(gè)地方?！?/div>

“Hey,” remarked the father-in-law. “I just make you half-owner of a moneymaking business, but you don’t like to drive a truck and won’t work in the factory. What am I going to do with you?”
“喂，”岳父說(shuō)：“你剛成為一個(gè)賺錢(qián)事業(yè)的半個(gè)老板，可是你既不喜歡開(kāi)卡車(chē)又不喜歡到工廠工作。那你要我怎么辦？”

“Easy,” said the young guy. “Buy me out.”
“簡(jiǎn)單，”年輕人說(shuō)：“把我那一半買(mǎi)會(huì)回去的了。”
