661　A New Boyfriend 新交的男朋友

One night a teenage girl brought her new boyfriend home to meet her parents, and they were appalled by his appearance: leather jacket, motorcycle boots, tattoos and pierced nose. Later, the parents pulled their daughter aside and confessed their concern. “Dear,” said the mother diplomatically, “he doesn't seem very nice.” “Oh please, Mom,” replied the daughter, “if he wasn't nice, why would he be doing 500 hours of community service?”

一天晚上，一个十几岁的女孩带着她新交的男朋友去见她的父母。她的父母被他的外表吓住了：皮夹克、摩托车靴子、刺青和鼻环。后来，她的父母把她叫到一边，说出他们的担心。母亲委婉地说：“他看起来不是非常好。”女儿说：“哦，妈妈。他如果不好，怎么会做500小时社区服务呢？”（注：美国监狱人满为患，法庭给轻犯人的处罚通常是几百小时社区服务。）
