go over走过去，get off挂掉电话

【笑话原文】

Her Mother Died too

One day, a woman’s neighbor goes over to her house, sees her crying, and asks her what happened. The woman said that her mother had passed away. The neighbor made her some coffee and calmed her down a little and then left. The next day the neighbor went back over to the house and found the woman crying again. She asked her why she was crying this time. “I just got off the phone with my sister. Her mother died too!”

【中文译文】

她的妈妈也去世了

一天，一个邻居到她家去，看见她在哭，就问她出了什么事。女人说她的妈妈去世了。邻居给她煮了一点咖啡，安慰了她几句，就走了。第二天，这个邻居又过来看她，发现她又在哭，就问她这次为什么哭。“我刚和我姐姐通完电话，她的妈妈也去世了。”
