divorce

I asked my friend why she wanted to divorce her husband. She answered, "Every time I sit on his lap, he starts dictating letters".

Notes:

1.I asked my friend why she wanted to divorce her husband.

我问我朋友为什么她要和丈夫离婚。

2.She answered,"Every time I sit on his lap, he starts dictating letters."

她回答：“每次我坐在他大腿上时，他就开始口述信件。”

“lap”是指“(人坐着时)腰以下到膝为止的大腿部”。因为笔记本电脑是可以放在大腿(lap)上(top)的电脑，所以称为 laptop。“dictate”在这里表示“使(人)听写”?如：The teacher dictated vocabulary words to the students.老师让同学听写单词。

所以每当妻子坐在他大腿上，他就感觉好像回到了办公室，秘书(secretary)坐在他大腿上的场景，就不知不觉地口述起信来了，与秘书的风流韵事(affkir)因此曝光!
