九十歲老人的兩個故事：

1） Because they had no reservation at a busy restaurant, my elderly neighbor and his wife were told there would be a 45-minute wait for a table.  
  "Young man, we're both 90 years old, " he told the maiter d'. "We may not have 45 minutes."
  They were seated immediately.

2） My father, at age 93, had only the most basic needs and very few wants. Last fall, my sister-in-law, hoping to get a little help in choosing a suitable birthday gift for him, asked, "Pa, what would you like for your birthday this year?"
  "Nothing," he replied.
  "But, Pa,"she kidded, "that's what we gave you last year."
  "Well," he answered, "I'm still using it."

1） 因為他們在繁忙的餐廳沒有預訂，我年邁的鄰居和他的妻子被告知那裏會45 分鍾等待一張桌子。
   “年輕人，我們都 90 歲了，”他告訴梅特德（領班） “我們可能沒有45分鍾。”
   他們立即就就座了。

2）我父親，93歲，隻有最基本的需求和很少的嗜好。 去年秋天，嫂子為了給他挑選合適的生日禮物，希望能得到一點幫助，問道：“爸，你今年的生日想要什麽？”
   “沒什麽，”他回答。
   “但是，爸爸，”她開玩笑說，“這是我們去年給你的。”
   “嗯，”他回答，“我還在用它。”
