636　The Only Sensible Choice 唯一明智的选择

My grandmother was famous for her quick wit. Once, at a family event, my sister's date asked if he could bring her a drink. “Yes. A Manhattan,” Grandmother said. “Okay, but you can't be our designated driver,” the young man joked. “Oh, I don't drive. Never did.” “Why is that?” he asked. “I knew that if you drink, you shouldn't drive. So I made the only sensible choice.”

我的奶奶因说话风趣而闻名。在一次家庭聚会上，我妹妹的男朋友问奶奶，要不要给她带一点喝的。奶奶说：“好，要一杯曼哈顿酒。”小伙子开玩笑说：“那你就不可以当我们选派的司机了。”“啊，我不开车，从来不开车。”“为什么？”“我知道，如果你喝酒，你就不能开车。所以我就做唯一明智的选择。”
