（单词翻译）

 　　She said, "I hate your long face. You should be happy being married to me, not sad." He said, "I am happy! I can't help it if the corners of my mouth turn down. That's gravity, not me."

They actually do have something called 'corner uplift' surgery." She said, "Great! Go for it." One month later, she said, "I love your new smiley face." One year later, she said, "I wish you'd stop smiling all the time. You look like The Joker. It's very irritating."
