外國最新英語幽默笑話精粹206:我解雇秘書的原因(中英)
One man explaining to another why he fired his secretary:
一個男士在向另外一個男士解釋他為什么解雇了自己的秘書。
"Two Weeks ago,” I said, "was my forty一fifth birthday and I wasn’t feeling too hot that morning anyway. I went into the kitchen for breakfast knowing that my wife would be pleasant and say ` Happy Birthday' and probably have a present for me. She didn't even say ‘Good Morning' let alone say ‘Happy Birthday’.”
他說:“兩星期以前是我45歲的生日,可那天早晨,我一點都不覺得興奮。我走進廚房去吃早餐,心想妻子一定會高興的對我說生日快樂,也許她還會為我準備了一份禮物,可她卻連‘早安’都沒說,就更不用說‘生日快樂’了。
"I said to myself ‘Well that’s wives for you. The children will remember.’ But the children came into breakfast and didn't say a word. And when I started to the office, I was feeling pretty low and despondent.”
當時我對自己說,這只是太太,孩子們一定會記得的,可是當孩子們進來吃早餐的時候,居然連一個詞都沒提。我要去上班了,心里覺得特別的失落和沮喪。
"As I walked into my office, Janet said ‘Good Morning, Boss-Happy Birthday' and I felt a little bit better that someone had remembered.”
當我走進辦公室的時候,簡尼特對我說:‘老板,早晨好,生日快樂’,我感到了一絲欣慰,畢竟還有人記得呀!
"I worked until noon. About noon, Janet knocked on my door and said, `You know it's such a beautiful day outside and it is your birthday, so let's go to lunch, just you and I'.” I said, "By George, that is the greatest thing I have heard all day. Let's go.”
我工作到了中午,簡尼特敲開我的門說:‘你知道嗎?今天外面多美啊,正巧又是你的生日,我們去吃午餐吧,就你和我。’我說:‘太棒了,這是我一天中聽到的最令人興奮的事情,那我們快走吧。’
"We went to lunch. We didn't go where we normally go. We went out into the country to a private place. We had two Martinis and enjoyed lunch tremendously.”
于是我們去吃午餐,我們沒到平時去的地方,而是去了鄉村一個很隱蔽的地方,我們喝了兩瓶馬丁尼酒,快樂地享受著午餐。
"On the way back to the office, she said, ‘You know, it's such a beautiful day we don't need to go back to the office, do we?’ I said, ‘No, I guess not.’ She said, ‘Let’s go by my apartment, and I’11 fix you another Martini.’ ”
在回辦公室的路上,她說:‘你知道嗎?今天是多么美好的一天啊,我們都不想回辦公室對吧?’我說:‘我想是的。’她又說:‘那我們去我的家吧!我為你再開一瓶馬丁尼酒。’
"We went to her apartment. We enjoyed another Martini and smoked a cigarette and she said, ‘Boss, if you don't mind, I think I'11 go into the bedroom and slip into something more comfortable’ and I allowed her as I didn't mind at all.”
于是我們來到了她的家,又喝了一瓶酒,還抽了一些香煙。她說:‘老板,如果你不介意,我想去臥室換一身舒適的衣服,’我告訴她我一點都不介意,還讓她快去。
"She went into the bedroom and in about six minutes she ca
她走進臥室,大約6分鐘后,走出來,拿著一個大的生日蛋糕,身后卻是我的妻子和孩子們,他們齊聲合唱:‘祝你生日快樂’。可這時我卻是一絲不掛,只穿著一雙襪子坐在那里。”
