两个女士在聊天，一个问另一个结过几次婚，回答是四次。 “四次！"问话的女士惊叫道，“为什么结这么多次婚啊？” 女士回答说：“第一次结婚的时候我还很年轻，嫁给了一个出色的银行家。可是,结婚几个星期之后，他的银行遭到打劫,他被用枪打死了。" "天啊，太可怕了。”第一位女士说。 '"哦，也没那么悲惨。之后不久我就开始和一个马戏团演员约会。这个人的确不错，但是他的工作很危险,因为他在表演走钢丝的时候不用防护网。我们结婚几个星期以后，他表演的时候,一阵风吹过来，他从钢丝上掉下来摔死了。" “你的第二个丈夫也死了？太可怕了！” "嗯,是很可怕，但是在他的葬礼上我和牧师相爱了，然后很快就结了婚。不幸的是，一个星期天他走着去教堂的时候，被车撞死了。” “三个？你的三个丈夫都死了？你怎么能经受住这一切呢？" "是很难过，不过接下来我就遇到了现在的丈夫。他是个很好的人。我想我们会在一起长相厮守。” "你现在的丈夫是做什么工作的？" "他是一名殡仪工作人员。" "殡仪工作人员？我有点搞不懂了。你先嫁给了一个银行家，然后是马戏团的演员，后来是牧师,现在又嫁给了一个殡仪馆工作者。为什么这些人差别这么大啊？" "哎,想一想就不难理解了……嫁给第一个人是为了钱，第二个为了表演，第三个为了做好准备，第四个就要上路了。” Four Marriages Two women were talking and the one asked the other how many times she had been married, and the reply was 4. “Four times!” exclaimed the first woman, “why so many?" The other woman said, “Well, I first got married when I was very young, and I married this wonderful man who was a banker. However, one day just a few weeks after we were married, his bank was robbed and he was shot and killed. ” “Oh my gosh, that’s terrible，” the first woman said. “Well, it wasn’t that tragic. Soon after that, I started seeing another man who performed in the circus. He was really a great guy, but he lived pretty dangerously because he performed his high-wire act without a net. Well, a few weeks after we got married, when he was performing a show, suddenly a gust of wind came by and knocked him off his wire and he was killed. ” “Your second husband was killed, too? That’s horrible!” “Yes, it was terrible, but at the funeral I fell in love with the minister and we got married soon after that. Unfortunately, one Sunday while he was walking to church, he was hit by a car and killed.，’ “Three? Three husbands of yours were killed? How could you live through all that?” “It was pretty tough, but then I met my present husband. And he’s a wonderful man. I think we’ll live a long happy life together. ” “And what does your present husband do for a living?” “He’s a mortician.” “A mortician? I don't understand something here. First you marry a banker, then a circus performer, then a minister, and now a mortician? Why such a diverse grouping of husbands?” “Well, if you think about it, it’s not too hard to understand…one for the money, two for the show, three to get ready, and four to go!” |
