花样年华 第四章(1)
两个猎人
  两个猎人租了一架小型飞机去加拿大的一个偏僻地区打猎。要下飞机的时候,飞行员特意嘱咐他们:“千万记住,只允许带一只驼鹿,因为飞机只能承受那么大的重量。”听飞行员说完,两个猎人就打猎去了。
  一个星期过后,当飞机返回原地接他们时,飞行员却看到猎人的身边有两只驼鹿。飞行员生气地说道:“我提醒过你们,只能带一只驼鹿。你们必须放弃一只,因为飞机根本承受不了这样的重量。”“哦,帮帮忙,”两个猎人哀求道,“去年那个飞行员就带了两只驼鹿呢。你真是个胆小鬼。”
  飞行员害怕被扣上胆小鬼的帽子,于是就勉强同意了。飞机刚刚越过一个湖,就开始逐渐下沉。飞行员使尽浑身解数也未能逃脱劫难,飞机最终坠落在湖边的一片树林里。过了一会儿,一个猎人站了起来,看着飞机的残骸说:“我们这是在哪里?”另—个猎人回答:“哦,我觉得比去年还远了100码呢。”
  Two Hunters
  Two hunters hire a small plane to take them to a remote area of Canada。 Upon dropping off the hunters; the pilot tells them;“Remember only one moose; because the plane wouldn’t be able to take off with more weight than that。” The hunters go off。
  A week later when the plane returns to pick them up; the two hunters are standing by the lake with two moose。 The pilot fumes; “I told you guys only one moose。 and you’ll have to leave one because we won’t be able to take off with that much weight。”“Oh; e on;” beg the two hunters;“Last year the pilot let us take two moose on; you’re just a chicken。”
  Not wanting to be accused of being a coward; the pilot allows the two to bring both moose on the craft。 The plane starts across the lake; straining to take off。 The pilot tries and tries to no avail and the plane crashes into the trees at the end of the lake。 A while later after ing to one of the hunters gets up and looks at all the scattered debris of the wreck and says;“Where are we?” To which the other hunter replies; “Oh; I’d say about a hundred yards farther than last year。”
  邮政快递
  我的丈夫希望获得一次面试的机会,便让我到邮局寄他的履历表。他提醒我要以最快的方式寄出去。
  听到他的语气紧迫,我就抓起一把零钱,冲出了家门。到了邮局,我冲到拒台前,气喘吁吁地向职员说明我的信必须马上寄出。他随便称了一下信的重量,说要收10元零3分。我翻遍了所有口袋,连硬币都拿了出来。“可是我没有10元零3分,”我说。他又敲了几个键,然后说:“那好吧,7元4角,夫人。”
  我又一次无奈地说:“对不起,我没有7元4角。”
  “那么,”他叹了口气,“说说你到底有多少?”
  我毕恭毕敬地回答道:“我一共有2元1角5分,先生。”
  他听完,转过身去对同事喊道:“嗨,查理,把鸽子准备好。”
  Post Haste
  My husband asked me to go to the post office to mail his resume in anticipation of a job interview。 He instructed me to send it the fastest way possible。
  Struck by the urgency in his voice; I grabbed a handful of change and dashed out the door。 Arriving at the post office; I rushed to the counter and breathlessly explained to the clerk that my envelope had to be delivered immediately。 He casually weighed the envelope and said it would cost “But I don’t have ;” I said。 He punched some more buttons and said。 “Okay; that will be 7。 40; madam。” txt小说上传分享

Once more I said in dismay; “Sorry; I don’t have  ”

  超前思维
  一个老人和一个年轻人乘火车旅行。年轻人问:“对不起,请问现在几点了?”老人没有说话。“对不起,现在几点了?”老人还是一言不发。“先生,我在问你现在几点了。你为什么不回答我?”老人这才开口说道:“孩子,下一站就是终点站了。我没见过你,所以我们是陌生人。假如我现在告诉你,或许我就要被迫邀请你去我家做客。你长得很英俊,刚好我有一个漂亮的女儿,那样你们会相爱并且结婚。你想想,你连手表都买不起,我为什么要选你当女婿呢?”
  Think Ahead
  An old man and a young man are traveling on the train。 The young man asks:“Excuse me; what time is it?” The old man does not answer。 “Excuse me; sir; what time is it?” The old man keeps silent。 “Sir; I’m asking you what time is it。 Why don’t you answer?!” The old man says:“Son; the next stop is the last on this route。 I don’t know you; so you must be a stranger。 If I answer you now; I’ll have to invite you to my home。 You’re handsome; and I have a beautiful daughter。 You will both fall in love and you will want to get married。 Tell me; why would I need a son…in…law who can’t even afford a watch?”

  “不过,我们会把钱退还给你们的。”他补充道。
  看了半个小时之后,丈夫转向妻子问:“喂,你感觉这部电影如何?”
  “这是我所看过的最糟糕的一部。”妻子回答。
  “我觉得也是,”他附和着,“把小汤姆摇醒。”

  “It’s the worst thing I’ve ever seen!” the wife replied。
  “Me; too。” he agreed。“ Shake little Tom。”

  有一天,这个小丈夫非常兴奋地回到家,急匆匆地进了客厅。他的妻子正嚼着巧克力听收音机。“亲爱的,你绝对猜不出我今天遇到了什么事。”他说。几秒钟之后他又说:“我中了一万英镑的彩票。”
  “那太好了!”他的妻子兴奋地说。但是没过几秒钟,她又非常生气地问:“等等,你是用什么钱买的彩票?”
