证明 prove [英][pru:v] [美][pruv] 中英文小故事:证明是谁更愚蠢 小布什和他的副总统竞选伙伴切尼在聊天,布什说:“我恨所有愚蠢的编排乔治笑话的人。” 聪明的老切尼,感觉对不起他的老上司的孩子,说:“哦,他们只是开玩笑。有很多愚蠢的人在那里。在这里,我会证明给你看。” 切尼领着小布什,到外面叫了辆出租车。 “请带我们去尼克大街29号看看我是否在家里。”切尼说。 出租车司机不说一句话,带他们到了尼克大街。当他们从车上下来,切尼看着乔治小布什说:“看!那个家伙真是够愚蠢的。” “别开玩笑了,”乔治小布什说:“有一个公用电话就在拐角处。你本来可以打电话来代替亲自跑过来。” George W. Bush and his veep running mate, Dick Cheney were talking, when George W. said, "I hate all the dumb George W. jokes people tell about me." Wise Old Cheney, feeling sorry for his old boss kid, said sage-like, "Oh, they are only jokes. There are a lot of stupid people out there. Here, I'll prove it to you." Now Cheney, to patronize George W, took him outside and hailed a taxi driver. "Please take me to 29 Nickel Street to see if I'm home," said Cheney. The cab driver without saying a word drove them to Nickel Street, and when they finally got out, Cheney looked at George W. and said, "See! That guy was really stupid." "No kidding," replied George W. "There was a pay phone just around the corner. You could have called instead." |
