英文短篇故事（纽约）323 Mom the Matchmaker

（单词翻译）

 　　Henry had a good job. But he didn't have a girlfriend. "Why don't you have a girlfriend?" his mother asked. "You need a girlfriend, so you can get married and have kids. That way I'll have some grandchildren¹." Henry said, "Do you want me to have a girlfriend, or do you want you to have grandchildren?" His mom said, "Both! So I'm going to find you a girlfriend. I have plenty of friends who have unmarried² daughters." A week later, she said, "I've found the perfect girl for us. Mary is your age. She has a good job. Her mom says she's looking for a husband." Henry said, "Forget it! I'm not going to date someone who's desperate³ to get married. She probably isn't married yet because there's something wrong with her." His mom said, "Really? Maybe there's something wrong with you too. Maybe two wrongs can make a right."
