森林之火 Wood Fire

One woman lectured her best friend on the nature of the male animal. “Husbands are like wood fires; they go out if left unattened.”
一名妇女向她最好的朋友大谈雄性动物的特性：“丈夫们就像是森林里的火，一不注意，他们就会燃烧起来。”

“Does that mean,” asked the other, “that they make ashes of themselves?”
“那是不是意味着，”另一个问道，“他们将自己烧成灰烬?”
