Wrong E—mail Address錯的電子郵件地址

張恒

A couple was going on vacation， but his wife was on a business trip. So he went to the destination first and his wife would meet him the next day.

一對夫婦要出門度假，但是妻子正在出差，因此丈夫先去目的地，妻子在第二天將和他會合。

When he reached his hotel， he decided to send his wife a quick e-mail.

他到了旅館后，決定給他妻子發一封簡短的電子郵件。

Unfortunately， when typing her address， he mistyped a letter and his note was directed instead to an elderly preacher1s wife whose husband had passed away only the day before.

倒霉的是，在打她的地址時，他打錯了一個字母，他的郵件發到了一個年老的牧師妻子的郵箱，這位牧師前一天才剛剛去世。

When the sad widow checked her e-mail， she took one look at the monitor， let out a scream， and fell to the floor in a dead faint2.

當悲傷的寡婦查看郵件的時候，一看到顯示屏就發出一聲尖叫，然后就摔倒在地上不省人事。

At the sound， her family rushed into the room and saw this note on the screen：

聽到聲響，她的家人沖進房間，看到了顯示屏里的那封郵件：

Dearest Wife，

Just got checked in. Everything prepared for your arrival tomorrow.

P.S. Sure is hot down here.

親愛的妻子：

我剛剛入住。我已做好準備迎接你明天到來。

另附：這里真熱。endprint
