芝加哥的英文相关话题 芝加哥 Chicago [英][ʃɪˈkɑ:gəʊ, -ˈkɔ:-] [美][ʃɪˈkɑɡo, -ˈkɔ-] 中英文小故事：调动到芝加哥的疑虑 一个男人告诉一天他的同事，公司要把他调动到芝加哥。他解释说，如果非要调他去那里，他就要辞职。 当被问及为什么时，他回答说，他只是太害怕那里的犯罪，即使他可能因此得到公司的加薪或者其它的利益。 他的那位同事希望他重新考虑，芝加哥毕竟是一个宏伟的城市，拥有世界级的博物馆，拥有一个伟大的历史，接近加拿大，还有良好的公共交通等。 然后那位同事说：“为什么我在芝加哥工作了将近10年，因为在这段时间内，我从来不曾有碰到过犯罪的问题。” 男人问，“你在那里做了什么？” 他回答说，“我在面包卡车尾部做护卫枪手。” A man was telling his co-worker one day that the company was transferring him to Chicago. He explained that he was going to quit before he had to move there. When asked why, he replied that he was just too afraid of all the crime even though he would be passing up a big salary increase and greater benefits. His co-worker said to reconsider and that Chicago was a magnificent city, with world class museums, loaded with a great history, sites, close to Canada, good public transportation, etc. Then he said: "Why I myself worked in Chicago for almost 10 years and in all that time I never ever had a problem with crime while I was working." The first asked, "What did you do there?" To which the other replied, "I was tail-gunner on a bread truck." |
