Suddenly she burst out crying."But, mama, as soon as we returned, Sam started using the most horrible language. He's been saying I've never heard before! All these awful four-letter words! You've got to come get me and take me home! Please, Mama!"
突然間她哭了出來：“可是，媽媽，我們回來后，山姆就開始講些很討人厭的話。他一直說些我以前沒聽過的話！全部都是臟話，聽了真不舒服！你一定要來接我回去！拜托啦，媽媽！”
"Sarah, sarah,"her mother said."Calm down! Tell me, what could be so awful? What four-letter words!"
“莎拉，莎拉，”她媽媽說：“冷靜一下，告訴我，什么話那么難聽？他到底都講了些什么臟話？”
"Please don't let me tell you, Mama,"wept the daughter, "I'm so embarrassed!They're just too awful! You've got to come get me and take me home! Please, Mama!"
“不要逼我講啦，媽媽，”女兒哭著說：“我好難為情哦！那些話實在太不中聽了！你一定要來接我回去！拜托了，媽媽！”
"Darling, baby, you must tell me what has you so upset. Tell your mother those horrlble four-letter words!"
“心肝寶貝，你一定要告訴我什么事惹你不開心。乖，告訴媽媽到底是什么臟話！”
Still sobbing, the bride replied,"Oh, Mama...Words like dust, wash, iron, and cook..."
