    I asked a colleague1 of mine how he liked the shirt his daughter had given him as a gift. "The color and the design are nice," he said. "But the sleeves2 are three inches too long."I suggested that perhaps it was made for a much taller man. "I don't think so," he said. "If I stand on my toes, it still fits the same."Notes:

我问我的同事是否喜欢他女儿送他的衬衣。“颜色和款式嘛是无可挑剔,”他说,“就是袖子长了三英寸。”
    我对他说或许衬衣是为个头更高的人做的。“我想不是吧,”他说,“我踮起脚尖,它还是一样长。”
