Egg Donor 鸡蛋捐赠人
One day, while Sue was cleaning under the bed, she found a small box. Curious, she opened it and found 3 eggs and 10,000 dollars. A little bit suspicious, she confronted her husband of twenty years about it.
一天,苏在打扫床底下的时候,发现了一个小盒子。出于好奇,她把它打开,发现里面有3个鸡蛋和一万块钱。她感觉有些可疑,就找结了婚20年的丈夫质问。
"Oh, that," Frank said. "Every time I cheated on you, I put an egg in this box." Sue was a bit unhappy about this, but figured that 3 affairs over twenty years wasn't so bad.
弗兰克说:“哦,那个啊,每欺骗你一次,我就放一个鸡蛋到盒子里。”苏虽然对此有点不开心,不过想到20年间才欺骗她3次,也不算很糟糕了。
"But what about the 10,000 dollars?"
“但是那一万块钱是怎么会是?”
"Every time I got a dozen, I sold them."
“每当我攒够了12个鸡蛋,我就把它们卖了。

2.a dozen
a dozen表示一打,也就是12个。
当dozen不与具体数字连用,而是表示不确定的泛指数时,则不仅要加复数词尾-s,而且要后接介词 of,此时可将dozens of(许多,几十)视为习语
I’ve been there dozens of times. 我去过那儿几十次。
