双语笑话|Chairs bought in the 1930s

The fine-furniture store where I work has been in business since the 1920s. Recently I received a call from a woman who wanted to replace some chairs from a dining set purchased from us in the 1930s. I assured^{1 her we could help and sought the assistance2 of the office manager. You'll never believe this one, I told him. I just got a call from a customer who bought some chairs from us in the 1930s. Before I could finish repeating her request, he interrupted3 and said, Don't tell me she hasn't received them yet!}

我所工作的精品家具商店是从20世纪二十年代以来就营业的。近期我接到一个妇女的电话。她想换一套餐具中的一些椅子。这套餐具她是在三十年代从大家这儿买的。我向她保证说大家可以帮她的忙，于是我向部门经理寻求帮助。你永远也不会相信，我对他说，我刚接到一个客户的电话，她在三十年代从大家这里买了一些椅子。 我还没有来得及说她的需要，经理就打断了我的话：你别告诉我她到目前还没有收到货！
