Stupid Question 愚蠢的问题

1.Stupid Question

Dan was the doorman of a club in a big city. Everyday, thousands of people passed his door, and a lot of them stopped and asked him, “What‘s the time, please?”
After a few months, Dan said to himself, “I‘m not going to answer all those stupid people any more. I‘m going to buy a big clock and put it upon the wall here.” Then he did so.
“Now people aren‘t going to stop and ask me the time,” he thought happily.
But after that, a lot of people stopped, looked at the clock and then asked Dan, “Is that clock right?”

愚蠢的问题

丹在一个大城市的某个俱乐部当守门人。每天都有数千人经过他的门口,而且许多人都会停下来问他:“请问现在几点?”
几个月后,丹想:“我不想再回答这些蠢人提出的问题了,我要去买一只大钟,把它挂在这儿的墙上。”于是他买了一只钟,把它挂在了墙上。
“现在人们总不会再停下来问我时间了。”他高兴地想。
可是打那以后,每天仍有许多人停下来,看看钟,然后问丹:“这钟准吗?” 

 

 

 

 
2.if you drink

A father was trying to teach his son the evils of alcohol.
He put one worm in a glass of water and another worm in a glass of whiskey. The worm in the water lived, while the one in the whiskey curled up and died.

“Well, Dad, it shows that if you drink alcohol, you will not have worms.”

你只要喝酒的话

一位父亲打算让自己的儿子知道酒精有多么可怕。
他把分别把两只虫子放到一杯清水和一杯威士忌里做对比。
清水里虫子安然无恙,结果威士忌里的虫子蜷缩了几下就挂掉了。
“所以,儿子啊,”父亲问道,”得出什么结论?”
“恩,这说明,你只要喝酒的话,肚里就不会长虫了!”

The defendant looked up and said, “Give me your wallet!”

被告抬起头,说:”把你的钱包给我!”
