A woman had bought birthday presents for her husband.

 

She was so excited and anxious to tell him. She said, "I've bought two presents for your birthday, dear. I would tell you now because I can't wait until that day. One present is a mat to put in front of my dressing¹ table. Another one is a bronze statuette（小雕像） for the drawing room mantelpiece." And then she added: "Now me?"

 

Her husband thought for a while and then replied: "I'd better get you a new razor and some ties, so that we may exchange presents with each other."

她的丈夫想了一会就说：“我最好是给你买一个刮胡刀和几条领带。这样我们就可以互相交换礼物了。”
