Never run out——从不缺

　　Living in a dry county was the bane of my friend Robert's existence. He was complaining to me one day about having to make a 60-mile round trip to get his favorite brand of bourbon. "I buy it by the case," he said. "Are you addicted to that stuff?" I asked. Robert thought for a second. "I don't know. I've never run out."

　　我的朋友Robert所居住的县气候干旱,而这成为他酗酒的根源。 1天，他跟我抱怨说得跑60英里才能买到他最喜欢的1种牌子的波旁威士忌酒。“我整箱地买”，他说。 “你喝这玩儿是喝上瘾了？”，我问他。 Robert想了1下，说“我不清楚，反正我从来就没缺过”。
