A male crab¹ met a female crab and asked her to marry him.

 

She noticed that he was walking straight instead of sideways. Wow, she thought, this crab is really special. I can’t let him get away. So they got married immediately.

 

The next day she noticed her new husband walking sideways like all the other crabs², and got upset. "What happened?" she asked. "You used to walk straight before we were married."

 

"Oh, honey," he replied, "I can't drink that much every day."

 

一只雄蟹遇到了一只雌蟹，便向她求婚。

 

雌蟹发现他是直着走路，而不是横着走。她心想，这只雄蟹真是与众不同，我可不能让他跑了。于是他们很快就结婚了。

 

第二天，雌蟹发现她的新郎走起路来和普通螃蟹一样。她便疑惑重重。“你怎么了？”她问，“我们结婚之前你可是直着走路的。”

 

“哦，宝贝，”他回答说，“我不可能每天都喝那么多啊。”
