007 Women Talk More than Men 女人比男人啰嗦

外国人讲：

A husband，proving to his wife that women talk more than men，showed her a study which indicated that men use on average only 15，000 words a day， whereas women use 30，000 words a day.

She thought about this for a while and then told her husband that women use twice as many words as men because they have to repeat everything they say.

He said，“What？”

中国人讲：

丈夫给妻子看了一项调查结果，以向她证明女人比男人啰嗦。研究表明，男人平均每天使用15，000个字，而女人每天使用30，000个。

妻子想了一会儿说，女人每天说的字数是男人的两倍，因为她们必须重复已经说过的话。

他问：“什么？”

1prove[pru：v]vt.证明，证实，检验，考验

2wife[waΙf]n.妻子

3indicate[⁵ΙndΙkeΙt]vt.指出，显示，象征，预示，需要，简要地说明

4average[＇ævərΙdʒ]n.平均；平均水平

5whereas[weər＇æz]conj.然而

6twice[twaΙs]adv.两倍

爆笑点评

笑点在哪？好吧，丈夫问完“What”了，妻子肯定要再重复一遍她说的话呀。所以让别人重复刚才说的话可不只有“pardon”哦，不过实际应用时要注意语境以及感情色彩哦！
