聪明的wise[英][waɪz] [美][waɪz] 中英文小故事：三个聪明的人从远方来了 在德克萨斯的一个小城镇，我看到了一个“情景”，需要表现出极大的技艺和才能去创造它。但是一个小问题困扰着我：那里，有三个聪明人都带着消防员的头盔。我完全想不出原因来解释，于是我离开了。 在一个小镇边上，我问一位站柜台女士，后面带头盔的人是怎么回事。她突然大发雷霆，冲着我大叫：“你这个该死的家伙，从来不会读你的圣经！” 我向她保证，我是读过圣经的，但不能回忆起圣经中任何关于消防员的章节。 她把她的圣经从柜台后面拿出来，翻看了几页，终于把她的手指在其中一页上。她贴着我的脸说：“看，现在，‘三个聪明的人从远方来了。’” In a small Texas town there was a "Nativity Scene" that showed great craft man ship and talent had gone into creating it. But one small feature bothered me: the three wise men were wearing firemen's helmets. Totally unable to come up with a reason or explanation, I left. At a "Quick Stop" on the edge of town, I asked the lady behind the counter about the helmets. She exploded into a rage, yelling at me, "You darn Yankees never read your Bibles!" I assured her that I did, but simply couldn't recall anything about firemen in the Bible. She jerked her Bible from behind the counter and riffled through some pages, and finally jabbed her finger at a passage. Sticking it in my face she said, "See, it says right here, 'The three wise men came from a far away.'" 中英文例句 Do you think that's wise? 你觉得那样做明智吗？ No man is born wise. 生来聪明博学世间无。 Publishers are wise to be nervous. 出版商感到紧张是明智的。 That who is wise is honest. 诚实者是聪明的。 Great men are not always wise. 伟大的人物未必总是英明的。 |
