在前往威蒙特参加一个婚礼的路上,我和丈夫意识到我们忘了带照相机。我们在一家百货商店门前停了下来,希望能够买到一种便宜的,一次性照相机。萨尔问店主:“你们有那种用了就扔的照相机吗?”
“我说,小伙子,”店主回答说,“我可不管你买了之后怎么处理它。”
Camera
On our way to a wedding in Vermont, my husband and I realized we had forgotten our camera. We stopped at a general store and, hoping to purchase a cheap, disposable model. Sal asked the owner, "Do you have any of those throwaway cameras?"
"Look, fella," replied the owner, "I don't care what you do with it after you buy it."
模仿鸟儿
一个人想在一个舞台剧中找份工作。“你能干什么呢?”负责人问。
“模仿鸟儿,”那人说。
“你在开玩笑吧?”负责人答道,“那样的人一毛钱可以找一打。”
“噢,那就算了。”那名演员说着,展开翅膀,飞出了窗口。
Imitate Birds
A man tried to get a job in a stage show. What can you do asked the producer.
Imitate birds, the man said.
Are you kidding answered the producer, People like that are a dime a dozen.
Well, I guess that's that. said the actor, as he spread his arms and flew out the window.
