181 Falling off the fridge 從冰箱上掉下來(lái)
A hearing-impaired person, I was on the phone with my brother, excitedly telling him about the cochlear ear implant I was getting. “I'm going to have a magnet implanted in my head as part of the procedure,” I told him. He asked why, and I read him the technical explanation from a booklet. “Oh,” he said. “I thought it was to keep you from falling off the fridge.”
我是一個(gè)聽(tīng)力受損的人。我正在給弟弟打電話,興奮地告訴他我要做一個(gè)耳蝸再造手術(shù)。我告訴他,作為整個(gè)過(guò)程的一部分,要在我的頭部裝一塊磁鐵。他問(wèn)我為什么要這樣做。我把一本小冊(cè)子里的技術(shù)說(shuō)明念給他聽(tīng)。他說(shuō):“噢,我以為是要防止你從冰箱上掉下來(lái)呢。”
