An undertaker is a person who buries people when they have died. This undertaker is being sacked (losing his job), because he buried a person in the wrong place. A grave is the place where someone is buried, but as an adjective "grave" means very serious, which is why the boss says it was a "grave" mistake.
這名殯儀員被解僱了,他的上司說原因是「grave mistake」,grave既解作嚴重,亦解作墳墓,把人葬錯墳墓那麼嚴重,自然工作不保了。■漫畫&說明︰英國文化協會
