816　She named the boat 她给船起了名字

Mike wanted a boat more than anything. His wife kept refusing, but he bought one anyway. “I'll tell you what,” he told her. “In the spirit of compromise, why don't you name the boat?” Being a good sport, she accepted. And when Mike went to the dock for his maiden voyage, this is the name he saw painted on the side: For Sale.

麦克想要一条船胜过其他一切。他的妻子一直反对，不过他还是买了。他对妻子说：“我跟你说，按照折中的精神，我让你给这条船起一个名字。”他太太表现了高尚的道德，接受了这个条件。当麦克到码头去作处女航的时候，他看到在船上油漆的船名“出让”。
