這幾天氣溫陡然升到了華氏九十多度,春天的掃除變成了夏日清理。我也想起鄰居去年發給我的一個搞笑Email。從ipod,iphone,ipad,到iron(烙鐵,熨鬥) 的關係說開去。有趣的是她的先生名叫Ron,我說你家裏有真正的i-Ron 哦。
她發給我的圖已經找不到了, 就從網上下載幾張,這個小故事以一個男人的口氣說話,譯出來大概意思如下:
It all began with an iPhone...
這一切都是由一個 iPhone 引起的
March was when my son celebrated his 15th birthday and I got him an iPhone, and he loved it, who wouldn't?
三月份我兒子過十五歲生日我送了他一個iPhone,他愛不釋手,擱誰誰不愛呀!
I celebrated my birthday in July and my wife made me very happy when she bought me an iPad
我七月過生日,我太太送我一個iPad,我喜出望外。
My daughter's birthday was in August so I got her an iPod
我女兒八月過生日,我送了她一個ipod
September came by, so for my wife's birthday I bought her an iRon.
九月我太太過生日,我送了她一個iRon(烙鐵,熨鬥)
It was around then that the fight started...
從此我們開始爭吵。。。
Girls can have their own computer...
看看這圖上畫的,女子也可以有自己的計算機:加蒸汽加水的按鈕就是左鍵,右鍵,熨鬥是個大鼠標,熨衣板就是鼠標墊啊!
What my wife failed to recognize is that the iRon can be integrated into the home network with the iWash, iCook, and iClean. This unfortunately activated the iNag app.
我太太沒有意識到這“熨鬥”~iRon 也可以並入家庭網絡係統嘛!“我洗衣”~iWash,“我做飯”~iCook,“我收拾”~iClean。。。可惜“我牢騷”~iNag這個應用程序也啟動了。。。
Which led me to the iHospital and the Doctors predict that...
最終我進了醫院, 醫生預言到。。。
iGet out Fr-iDay.
我周五出院。
據說吸塵器,熨鬥一類的物件是最不受歡迎的禮物。好在沒人拿熨鬥當禮物送我。我去年生日的時候,得到一個ipad2。本來我在中國惠普和美國HP總部工作過,對惠普產品情有獨鍾。後來孩子們有了多個ipod, itouch產品,我也試用公婆好友帕西拉的iPad,很喜歡,家人得到暗示就準備送我一個。在ipad的背麵,先生問我要刻上什麽字?生日快樂?我想起大寶上小學時給我寫的一首詩,就刻上兩句吧!當時在大寶屋裏看到紙上的這詩,我還心想這小小子愛上誰了?再仔細一看,題目是我的中文名啊。原來是大寶在學校寫的詩,我差點當廢紙扔了。等他回家送他Big Hugs!
Her name is a whisper through the air,
A person to whom I dearly care.
She awakens me in the morning like the sun,
And sends me to bed like the moon.
Her heart is pure like a river,
Her mind is strong like a mountain.
She is a star twinkling in my heart.
Always in her special spot.
~周末愉快~
藤玉姐姐你在日本,女子都尤其的溫柔會持家。 謝謝玉姨對大寶雪兒的愛。回送i-yu(^O^☆♪
親愛的藍寶寶說得我心裏甜甜的,回送你大大的擁抱,i寶寶(^O^☆♪
多謝貝卡,周末開心一笑。你家五個寶寶,一定有做不完的家務,也有無盡的笑語歡歌。
祝福(^O^☆♪
親愛的阿晴妹妹我們日常生活的繁瑣也藏著小幽默,妹妹的付出我們都沒法相比。突發一個新想法,你下次要爺爺奶奶小本幫忙時就想著是你送他們機會和小寶親熱了,所以是“送愛心”不是“求幫忙”,心安理得。
替大寶謝謝晴姨,主佑平安,愛你們(^O^☆♪
哈哈花花我們見了烙鐵就當上甩手掌櫃。自打大寶小時候我為了熨剛做好的窗簾,被燙了一下就不愛熨東西了。
替大寶謝謝花姨,你家小寶也知心。祝福花花春安(^O^☆♪
替大寶多謝葉子姨,過獎了。記得大寶小時候說的第一個句子是“Is that choo choo?” 因為他聽到火車聲,後來他含含糊糊地說“I love you”的時候,俺激動地抱著他親了又親。。。
祝福(^O^☆♪
Always in her special spot.
美燕兒,你有個聰明有才華的兒子!
多謝點綴兄,讓您見笑了。一家人生活不會永遠花前月下,家務活的繁瑣讓我們嘮叨,也借機調侃輕鬆一下。
我是有了這iPad 上網方便了才開博的,認識了你們這些好友很開心。(^O^☆♪
很有趣的故事。。。很溫馨又感人的結尾。。。
京燕君得到了心愛的禮物,還有兒子的愛。。。
祝賀林楓妹妹,現在有了鍵盤這樣用iPad 就更方便了吧!
iCongrats(^O^☆♪
多謝心姐,也替大寶謝謝大姨。有孩子的一份心意我們付出再多也心裏甜蜜蜜。
新周愉快(^O^☆♪
親愛的九月,你那月份得到的禮物很貴重啊哈哈哈。
Your answer reminds me of what people like to say that "girls are full of sugar and spice". September is a spice girl!
(^O^☆♪
彩霞星雲,你這麽開心我就更高興了。。。(^O^☆♪
"September came by, so for my wife's birthday I bought her an iRon." --- then she told me: "Sir, please keep it for yourself or somebody will get "tortured" somehow and somewhere", Aha-ha-ha...
謝謝尼斯美眉,我喜歡燕子這個名字,我想我從北京飛到這裏就安家了。上中學時我的前後桌都是燕子。
千山萬水送來的祝福我收下了,也請網絡捎去一份祝福給你和家人,平安快樂(^O^☆♪
I laughed as hard as you, sis., especially the photo of the iron, so creative.
I am thinking if anyone give iron as a gift, we should send him a gift back ~ "turn your face to the wall”!
Thank you for your kindness toward Dabao & me, xoxoxo(^O^☆♪
多謝阿鬆,大寶送的這份愛心俺差點就沒受到。你家寶貝也很可愛呦。我家大寶大了,有時候也氣人,我們說這樣為他上大學離家做準備,免得我們舍不得哈哈。
祝福阿鬆全家春安(^O^☆♪
遙遠發自真心的祝福!
I am so proud of your son, and you too:). a touching poem.
燕子好幸福啊,祝福!
