Question

英语翻译：

Once there was an old man in a town. He always forgot things, so his wife always had to say to him," Don't forget tins!"
帮忙翻译一下这段话，特别是Don't forget tins! t
tins是什么意思？谢谢！

Answer 1

Tin是罐子的意思，这里Tins应该是模拟老头的妻子的口音，把things念成了tins。如果有故事的下文就可以验证一下。这是典型的英语的幽默，翻译出来没有什么意义：

从前一个小镇上有一个老人。他总是忘记事情，所以他的妻子总是对他说，“别忘了罐子！”
