Секрет долголетия

The secret to a long life

На своей утренней прогулке доктор заметил старушку, сидящую на передней ступеньке своего дома и курящую сигару.

A doctor on his morning walk noticed an old lady sitting on the front step of her house smoking a cigar.

Он подошёл к ней и сказал: "Я не мог не заметить, какой счастливой Вы выглядите! В чем Ваш секрет?"

So he walked up to her and said: "I couldn't help but notice how happy you look! What is your secret?"

"Я курю десять сигар в день", - сказала она.

"I smoke ten cigars a day", she said.

"Помимо этого, я еженедельно выпиваю целую бутылку виски и ем исключительно чипсы."

"Apart from that, I drink a whole bottle of whiskey every week, and eat only chips."

"И я совсем не делаю никаких физических упражнений."

"And I don't do any physical exercises at all."

"Это совершенно поразительно!Сколько Вам лет?" - спросил доктор.

"That is absolutely amazing! How old are you?", asked the doctor.

"Сорок два," - ответила она.

"Forty-two", she replied.
