A shoplifter was caught red-handed trying to steal a watch from a jewelry store. “Listen，” said the shoplifter， “I know you dont want any trouble either. What do you say I just buy the watch， and we forget about this？”

一個(gè)小偷在一家珠寶店企圖偷走一只手表的時(shí)候被當(dāng)場擒獲。“聽著，”小偷說，“我知道你們也不想惹麻煩。我把這只表買下，然后我們就當(dāng)什么也沒發(fā)生，你看怎樣？”

The manager agreed and wrote up the sales slip. The shoplifter looked at the slip and said， “This is a little more than I intended to spend. Can you show me something less expensive？”

經(jīng)理表示同意，然后列了一張售貨單。小偷看著單子說道：“這比我最初的預(yù)算稍稍高了一點(diǎn)。你們還有沒有便宜一點(diǎn)的東西？”

Two friends were talking about work， when one asked， “Say， why did the foreman fire you？”

兩個(gè)朋友正在談工作，其中一個(gè)問：“為什么你被領(lǐng)班開除了？”

Replied the second， “Well， you know how a foreman is always standing around and watch others work. My foreman got jealous. People started thinking I was the foreman.”

另一個(gè)答道：“你知道領(lǐng)班是經(jīng)常站在旁邊看別人干活的。我的領(lǐng)班嫉妒了，因?yàn)閯e人開始以為我是領(lǐng)班。”
