Maurice Cohen (Морис Коган) says, "I covered my wife's body with schmaltz (я покрыл тело жены салом). We made love and she screamed for six hours (шесть часов)."

The others say, "Six hours? How did you make her (как ты заставил ее = сделал так, чтобы она) scream for six hours?"

Maurice shrugs (пожимает плечами). "I wiped my hands on the drapes (я вытер руки о портьеры, драпировку)."

A businessman boarded a plane (взошел

на борт самолета) to find, sitting next to him (и обнаружил: «чтобы обнаружить» сидящую рядом с ним), an elegant Jewish woman (элегантную еврейку) wearing (на которой было; to wear - носить /об одежде, украшениях/) the largest and most stunning (самое крупное и самое потрясающее) diamond ring (кольцо с бриллиантом) he had ever seen (которое он когда-либо видел). He asked her about it (он спросил ее об этом).

"This is the Klopman diamond (это бриллиант Клопмана)," she said. "It is beautiful (он прекрасен, красив), but there is a terrible curse (но /здесь есть/ ужасное проклятье) that goes with it (которое ему сопутствует)."

"What's the curse? (какое проклятие)" the man asked (спросил).

"Mr. Klopman (мистер Клопман)."

Bernie is a very wealthy (богатый) man indeed (в самом деле).

One day in June (однажды в июне), he goes on holiday (он отправляется в отпуск, отдохнуть) with his latest (со своей последней), much younger girlfriend (намного моложе /его/ подружкой), Sarah. As the days in the sun wore on (по мере того, как дни на солнце уходили /to wear-wore-worn — носить /одежду/; медленно тянуться /о времени/), Bernie and Sarah began to talk about the differences in their ages and interests between them (начали говорить о разнице в их возрасте и интересах /между ними/ /to begin-began-begun/).

Bernie asked, "If I lost everything (если бы я потерял

все /to lose-lost-lost/), all my money, my mansion (мой особняк), my Rolls Royce, tomorrow, would you still love me (ты бы по-прежнему любила меня), Sarah?"

"Yes, darling," said Sarah, "and I’d miss you too (и скучала бы по тебе тоже; to miss — промахнуться; упустить; чувствовать нехватку кого-либо или чего-либо, скучать)."

Moishe had been single (был холост) for a long time (долгое время). One day, he excitedly tells his mother (он возбужденно сообщает своей матери) that he's fallen in love at last (что он влюбился наконец) and he is going to get married (и собирается жениться). She is obviously overjoyed (она очевидно переполнена радостью; joy — радость).

Moishe then tells his mother, "Just for fun (просто, только ради шутки), Mum, I'm going to bring over 3 women (я приведу сюда трех женщин) and you try and guess (постарайся угадать) which one I'm going to marry (на которой я собираюсь жениться)."

His mother agrees (соглашается).

The next day (на следующий день), Moishe brings 3 beautiful women into the house (приводит в дом трех красивых женщин) and sits them down on the couch (и усаживает их на диван) and they all chat for a while (и все они болтают какое-то время; a while — промежуток времени). Then Moishe turns (поворачивается) to his mother and says, "Okay, Mum. Guess which one I'm going to marry?"

She immediately (сразу) replies, "The redhead in the middle (рыжая в середине)."

"That's amazing (удивительно) Mum. You're right (ты права = угадала»). How did you know? (как ты узнала)"

"I don't like her (она мне не нравится)."
