607　Never get any exercise 再不能锻炼身体了

My parents had one of those old-time rotary telephones. Once, I misdialed a long-distance number and had to do it all over again. “Mom,” I asked in frustration, “why don't you replace this thing with a touch-tone phone?” “If we did,” my mother said, “your father would never get any exercise.”

我的父母有一台老式的拨号式的电话机。有一次我打长途电话，拨错了一个号，只好从头再来一遍。我沮丧地问：“妈，你们为什么不换一台按键式的电话机呢？”我妈说：“如果我们换了，那你爸爸就不能再锻炼身体了。”
