外國最新英語幽默笑話精粹192:紀念日(中英)
When Bill and Hillary first got married, Bill said, "I am putting a box under our bed. You must promise never to look in it.” In all their 30 years of marriage, Hillary never looked. However, on the afternoon of their 30th anniversary, curiosity got the better of her and she lifted the lid and peeked inside. In the box there were 3 empty beer cans and $1,874.25 in cash.
比爾和希拉里剛結婚的時候,比爾說:“我在我們的床下放了一個盒子。你要答應我不打開看。”他們結婚三十年了,希拉里一直都沒有打開過那個盒子。可在他們結婚30周年紀念日的下午,希拉里再也忍不住她的好奇心了,她掀起了盒子蓋,偷偷地往里看。盒子里面有三個空的啤酒罐和1874. 25美元的現金。
After dinner, Hillary could no longer contain her guilt and she confessed, saying, "I am so sorry. For all these years I kept my promise and never looked in the box under our bed. However, today the temptation was too much and I gave in. But now I need to know why do you keep the empty cans in the box? "
晚飯后,希拉里再也掩蓋不住自己的愧疚感了。她對比爾坦白說:十分抱歉,這么多年以來我一直遵守諾言沒有打開我們床底下的那個盒子。可是今天,我再也禁不住誘惑了。我現在想知道你為什么在盒子里保存了三個空瓶子?”
Bill thought for a while and said, "I guess that after all these years you deserve to know the truth. Whenever I was unfaithful to you, I put an empty beer can in the box under the bed to remind myself not to do it again.”
比爾想了想說:“我想經過了這么多年,你也應該知道真相了。每當我做了對不起你的事情,我就會往床底下的盒子里放一個瓶子,用這個來提醒我不能再繼續錯了。”
Hillary was shocked, but said," I am very disappointed and saddened, but I guess after all those years away from home on the road, temptation does happen and I guess that 3 times is not that bad considering the number of years we've been together.”
希拉里大吃一驚,可她說:“我很失望和難過,可我想你一直在外奔波了這么多年,一定會遇到很多外界的誘惑,比起我們在一起相處的這么多年,3次又算得了什么呢。”
They hugged and made their peace. A little while later, Hillary asked Bill, "So why do you have all that money in the box?"
他們擁抱在了一起,一切又恢復了平靜。過了一會兒,希拉里問比爾:“那么為什么盒子里還有那么多錢呢?”
Bill answered,"Well, whenever the box filled up with empty cans, I took them to the recycling center and redeemed them for cash.”
比爾回答說:“只要盒子里裝滿了空瓶子,我就把它們拿到回收站去換成現金。”
