為我所用
一頭大象對(duì)一只小老鼠說(shuō):“你無(wú)疑是我見(jiàn)過(guò)的最小、最沒(méi)用的東西。”
“請(qǐng)?jiān)僬f(shuō)一遍,讓我把它記下來(lái)。”老鼠說(shuō)。“我要講給我認(rèn)識(shí)的一只跳蚤聽(tīng)。”

三個(gè)外科醫(yī)生

“這算不了什么,”另一個(gè)說(shuō)。“一個(gè)家伙兩條腿斷了,他來(lái)找我,我將它們接了回去。如今,那人是馬拉松選手。”

Three Surgeons
Three famous surgeons were bragging about their skills. “A man came to me who had his hand cut off,”said one.“Today that man is a concert violinist.”“Thats nothing,”said another. “A guy came to me who had his legs cut off. I stitched them back on, and today that man is a marathon runner.”
“I can top both of you,”said the third. “One day I came on the scene of a terrible accident. There was nothing left but a horses posterior - and a pair of glasses. Today that man is seated in United States Senate.”
祖先
本森是個(gè)波士頓商人,對(duì)自己的書(shū)法和祖先都頗為得意。他給一個(gè)猶太推銷員開(kāi)了張定單后,凝視著自己的簽名說(shuō):“這字寫(xiě)得真不錯(cuò)。你知道嗎,我有個(gè)祖先在《獨(dú)立宣言》上簽了字。”
“噢,是嗎,”猶太人說(shuō),“你可比不了我,我有個(gè)祖先在《十誡》上簽了字。”
Ancestors
Benson was a Boston merchant and very proud of his handwriting and his ancestry. After giving a Jew salesman a order,he gazed at his signature and said,“Pretty good writing that.Do you know one of my ancestors signed the Declaration of Independence?”
“oh, well,” said the Jew,“you have not tings on me,one of my ancestors signed the Ten Commandments.”

“您知道我們?cè)谵k公室里有多忙,我們倆只能來(lái)一個(gè),所以就擲幣來(lái)決定由誰(shuí)來(lái)。”
“大有趣了!還那么有獨(dú)創(chuàng)性!那您贏了?”
“不,”年輕人心神不定地說(shuō),“我輸了。”

“How nice!And so original, too! And you won?”
“No,” said the young man absently,“I lost.”
