寨主只有普通酷而已

 美日一句：

A: My wife wants to take out a life insurance policy on me.
B: What is the purpose of life insurance anyway?
A: To protect your family from financial burden in case you kick the bucket all of a sudden.
B: I see. I guess I need one too, otherwise, my wife and children would be in debt if I went belly-up now!

甲：我老婆打算幫我買一份人壽保險。
乙：到底為什麼人需要買人壽保險呢？
甲：萬一你突然翹辮子了，你的家人的經濟狀況才不會陷入困境。
乙：原來如此。那我應該也需要買一份，不然我要是現在突然走了，我老婆和小孩都得舉債度日了！

 Kick the bucket = belly-up

翹辮子；一命嗚呼

寨主解：古時絞刑或上吊，腳底下都會先墊個東西。bucket 是桶子，kick the bucket 正好象徵把桶子踢開後一命嗚呼。另外 belly 是肚皮的口語俗稱，belly-up 就像金魚一樣腹部朝上，當然就是翹辮子嘍。

寨主曰：老師有教過，天底下最美麗的動作就是查字典！
