Three older ladies were discussing the travails of getting older. One said, "Sometimes I catch myself with a jar of mayonnaise in my hand in front of the refrigerator and can't remember whether I need to put it away or start making a sandwich." |
get older – starzeć się travails – kłopoty, trudy jar – słoik mayonnaise – majonez refrigerator – lodówka |
|
The second lady chimed in, "Yes, sometimes I find myself on the landing of the stairs and can't remember whether I was on my way up or on my way down." |
chime in – włączyć się (do rozmowy) landing – podest (na schodach) |
|
The third one responded, "Well, I'm glad I don't have that problem; knock on wood," as she rapped her knuckles on the table. Then she told them, "That must be the door; I'll get it!" |
knock on wood – odpukać w niemalowane rap – pukać, stukać knuckle – kostka (dłoni) I'll get it – ja otworzę |
