我们分享一切 We share everything

An elderly couple goes to Burger King, where they carefully split a burger and fries.

一对老夫妇在汉堡王餐厅吃饭，他们小心翼翼地将汉堡和薯条分成两份。

A trucker takes pity on them and offers to buy the wife her own meal.

一个卡车司机非常同情他们，就提议想给老太太单独点一份。

"It's all right," says the husband. "We share everything."

“没关系的。”老先生说，“我们分享一切。”

A few minutes later, the trucker notices that the wife hasn't taken a bite.

几分钟后，卡车司机注意到老太太还没动口吃一点东西。

"I really wouldn't mind buying your wife her own meal," he insists.

他再次对老先生说，“我真的不介意请您妻子吃一顿……”

"She'll eat," the husband assures him. "We share everything."

“她会吃的，”老先生向他保证，“我们分享一切。”

Unconvinced, the trucker implores the wife, "Why aren't you eating?"

The wife snaps, "Because I'm waiting for the teeth!"

老太太咂咂嘴，“我在等他的假牙。”
