A male crab1 met a female crab and asked her to marry him.

　　She noticed that he was walking straight instead of sideways. Wow, she thought, this crab is really special. I can’t let him get away. So they got married immediately.

　　The next day she noticed her new husband walking sideways like all the other crabs2, and got upset. "What happened?" she asked. "You used to walk straight before we were married."

　　"Oh, honey," he replied, "I can't drink that much every day."

　　一只雄蟹遇到了一只雌蟹，便向她求婚。

　　雌蟹發(fā)現(xiàn)他是直著走路，而不是橫著走。她心想，這只雄蟹真是與眾不同，我可不能讓他跑了。于是他們很快就結婚了。

　　第二天，雌蟹發(fā)現(xiàn)她的新郎走起路來和普通螃蟹一樣。她便疑惑重重。“你怎么了？”她問，“我們結婚之前你可是直著走路的。”

　　“哦，寶貝，”他回答說，“我不可能每天都喝那么多啊。”
