It was too late 为时已晚

分类: 英语笑话 

Although I had never met him, I knew that my grandfather had been five feet, six inches tall, while my stately grandmother stood five feet, eleven inches .

As a teen-ager leafing through(迅速翻阅) old photographs with grandma, I finally realized how unusual they must have looked together.

"Grandma," I asked, "how could you have fallen in love with a man five inches shorter than you?"

She turned to me "Honey," she said, "we fell in love sitting down, and when I stood up, it was too late."

尽管我未见过祖父,不过我知道他身高只有五英尺六英寸,而我高贵典雅的祖母身高却有五英尺十一英寸。

我十几岁的时候,和祖母一起翻看着老照片,我觉得他们在一起看起来很别扭。

“奶奶,”我问道,“你怎么会爱上一个比你矮五英寸的人呢?”

她转过脸来看着我。“宝贝,”她说,“我们是坐着相爱的。当我站起来的时候,已经太晚了。”
