补洞 
 
　　A young man came home from work and found his bride upset. "I feel terrible,” she said. "I was pressing your suit and I burned a big hole in the seat of your trousers.”
　　丈夫下班回到家里，发现自己的新娘心绪烦乱。“我心里太难受了，”她说。“我在给你熨西装时把裤子的臀部烧了个大洞。”
 
　　“Forget it ,” consoled her husband. “Remember that I’ve got an extra pair of pants for that suit.”
 
　　“没事儿，”丈夫安慰她说。“你忘了我这套衣服有两条裤子。”
 
　　“Yes,” said the woman, cheering up. "And it’s lucky you have. I used them to patch the hole.”
 
　　“是的，”妻子高兴地说，“幸亏你还有一条，我后来就用它来补了这个洞了。”
