笑话joke[英][dʒəʊk] [美][dʒok] 中英文故事：伴随孩子成长（1） 你知道"午夜派对”吗？我是从女儿那里听说的。那天,她宣布我们家已经被选作她学校举行午夜派对的场地了。“那就是一种舞会。"她轻描淡写地说。我想到了我18岁时参加过的当时很流行很前卫的谷仓舞。 午夜派对几周前的时间里，全家人一遍遍地对我进行严厉的教导。他们不许我参加舞会，不许我插手晚餐，尤其是不许我讲笑话。末了，女儿又特别警告我:“不要对我的女伴们色迷迷的。”有些要求既苛刻又蛮不讲理，女儿的指责更让我感到天大的冤枉,于是我矢口否认，可女儿根本不为所动。“我没有冤枉你，爸爸。上星期你开车把我和凯特林、葛瑞尔从海边接回来时，就是对她俩色迷迷的。请你千万不要在派对上也那样。"她说这番话时振振有词，弄得我只好猛喝啤酒。 Do you know what an “After Party” is? I found out when my daughter announced that our home had been chosen for the After Party for her school. “A sort of a dance,” she said, unchar¬acteristically evasive. I recalled functions I had attended as an eighteen year old when the pro¬gressive barn dance seemed to be the go. In the weeks leading up to the After Party I was given a series of strict instructions by all members of my household. I was not to join the dancing ； I was not to offer supper；I was particu¬larly not to tell jokes and finally, from my daugh¬ter, I was instructed “not to perve at my girlfriends”. There were some accusations so craven, so unreasonable, so unfair that a blustering denial was all that one had left but my daughter remained unmoved. “Yes, you did, daddy, you perved at Caitlin and Greer when you picked us up from the beach last week. Just don't do it at the party, please. ’，All this was delivered with a cool assurity that left me spluttering into my beer. 中英文例句 1. That was the god's little joke. 这是神开的一个小玩笑。 2. Joke bombs to the jihadists? 还是笑话会炸向圣战者？ 3. The joke always gets a laugh. 人们总是会被这个笑话逗乐。 4. This is not a joke. 这可不是开玩笑的。 5. But the sentences are no joke. 然而宣判则完全不开玩笑。 |
