694　Knuckles drag on the floor 手掌拖着地

My sister walked into a men's clothing store to buy a shirt for me and pants for our father. I'm well over six feet tall and our dad is pretty short. She asked a salesman for help. “I'm looking for a shirt with an 18 neck and 38-inch sleeves,” she told him, “and trousers with a 30-inch waist and an inseam of 27 inches.” After absorbing those measurements, the salesman said, “I have to ask. Do this guy's knuckles drag on the floor?”

我妹妹到一家男式服装商店去给我买一件衬衣，给爸爸买一条裤子。我有六尺好几寸，而我爸爸比较矮。她请一个售货员帮忙。她说：“我要买一件衬衣，领子18寸，袖子38寸。裤子的腰30寸，长27寸。”售货员对这些数字进行一番研究以后说：“我不得不问一下，这个人的手掌是不是拖着地？”
