中英文小故事：事故发生之后
一个农民卷入一场可怕的和一辆大卡车的交通事故。最终，他们在法庭上一个大额赔偿诉讼中对簿公堂。
“我理解你为你遭受的伤害要求赔偿的要求。”保险公司指派的律师说。
“是的，是的，”农夫一边回答道，一边点头。
“你声称，你在事故中受伤，但我有一个警方签署的声明说，当警官问你，你当时的感受，在那样的情况下，你回答说，‘在我的一生里，我从来没有感觉到更好的。’是这样的吗？”
“是的，但是。。。”农民结结巴巴的。
“你只需要说‘是’或‘不是’就够了！”律师打断了他。
“是的，”农夫回答道。
轮到农民的律师问他问题：“请你告诉法庭，意外事故发生之后，你的确切情况。”
“当然可以，”农夫回答道：“事故发生后，我的马拼命挣扎，腿断了，我可怜的老狗痛苦地嚎叫着。这个警察来了，看了我的马一眼，射杀了他。然后，他走到我的狗跟前，看了他一眼，把他也射杀了。然后他直接过来找我，问我感觉如何。“现在，伙计，你对他说的是什么？”
A farmer who's been involved in a terrible road accident with a large truck ended up in court fighting for a big compensation claim. "I understand you're claiming damages for the injuries you're supposed to have suffered?" Stated the counsel for the insurance company. "Yes, that's right," replied the farmer, nodding his head. "You claim you were injured in the accident, yet I have a signed police statement that says that when the attending police officer asked you how you were feeling, you replied, 'I've never felt better inn my life.' Is that the case?" "Yeah, but" stammered the farmer. "A simple yes or not will suffice," counsel interrupted quickly. "Yes," Replied the farmer. Then it was the turn of the farmer's counsel to ask him questions. "Please tell the court the exact circumstance of events following the accident when you made your statement of health," his lawyer said. "Certainly," replied the farmer. "After the accident my horse was thrashing around with a broken leg and my poor old dog was howling in pain. This cop comes along, takes one look at my horse and shoots him dead. "Then he goes over to my dog, looks at him and shoots him dead too. Then he come straight over to me and asked me how I was feeling. "Now, mate, what the heck would you have said to him?"
