丈夫告诉医生：“我想我的妻子快要聋了，我可以做些什么呢？”

医生告诉他：“嗯，先尝试测试她的听力。站在离她有一段距离的地方，问一个问题，如果她没有回答，走近一点再问一遍。一直重复直到她回答为止。这样我们就可以知道情况有多糟了。”

丈夫回到家，看见妻子便问：“亲爱的，晚餐吃什么？”他没有听到回答，于是走近一点再问：“亲爱的，晚餐吃什么呢？”这样重复了好几次，直到他就站在妻子旁边。

终于，她回答了：“这是第十次，我说，我们吃炖肉。”

A man tells a doctor, "I think my wife's going deaf. What can I do?"

The doctor says, "Well, try to test her hearing. Stand some distance away from her and ask her a question. If she doesn't answer, move a little closer and ask again. Keep repeating this until she answers. That way we can see how bad the problem is."

The man goes home, sees his wife and says, "Hi honey, what's for dinner?" He doesn't hear an answer, so he moves closer. "Honey, what's for dinner?" He repeats this several times, until he's standing right next to her.

Finally, she answers, "For the tenth time, I said we're having Pot Roast!"
