Fred is 32 years old and he is still single.
Fred는 32세로 아직 미혼이다.
One day a friend asked, "Why aren't you married? Can't you find a woman who will be a good wife?"
어느날 친구가 "왜 결혼하지 않니? 좋은 아내감을 못 찾았니" 라고 물었다.
Fred replied, "Actually, I've found many women I wanted to marry, but when I bring them home to meet my parents, my mother doesn't like them."
Fred는 "사실, 결혼하고 싶은 여자를 많이 찾았는데, 부모님한테 보여주려고 집에 데려가면 어머니가 좋아하지 않으셔"라고 대답했다.
His friend thinks for a moment and says, "I've got the perfect solution, just find a girl who's just like your mother."
친구는 잠시 생각한 뒤, "좋은 생각이 있어. 어머니와 같은 여자를 찾아봐."라고 말했다.
A few months later they meet again and his friend says, "Did you find the perfect girl? Did your mother like her?"
몇 달 후에 서로 만나서 친구가 물었다. "완벽한 여자를 찾았니? 어머니가 그 여자를 좋아하시든?"
With a frown on his face, Fred answers, "Yes, I found the perfect girl. She was just like my mother. You were right, my mother liked her very much."
얼굴을 찡그리며 Fred가 말했다. "응, 완벽한 여자를 찾았지. 어머니와 똑 같아. 네가 옳았어. 어머니가 그녀를 아주 좋아 하셨어."
The friend said, "Then what's the problem?"
친구가 물었다. "그런데 뭐가 문제야?"
Fred replied, "My father doesn't like her."
Fred가 대답하길, "아버지가 그녀를 좋아하지 않으셔."
