外國最新英語幽默笑話精粹154:錯誤的警告(中英)
Years ago while attending a dinner party hosted by some friends of mine the hostess served a meal with this delicious mushroom sauce. After the meal there was a small amount left over and the hostess decided to allow her pregnant cat to enjoy the treat as well as the guests. The guests all felt it was a great gesture and showed the cat was a member of the family.
幾年前我參加一個朋友舉行的晚餐聚會,女主人用自己做的美味的蘑菇沙司來招待我們。吃過飯后,還剩了一些沙司,所以女主人決定讓她那懷孕的貓也像客人一樣享受這美味。所有的客人都覺得,這個舉動顯示了那只貓就像是家里的一名成員一樣。
The sauce was the highlight of the evening' s topic of conversation,everyone commented on how delicious it was,and the hostess beamed at all the compliments. One of the guest commented that toadstools were much like mushrooms except for being toxic,and how funny it would be if such a cultnary treat were made from that instead.
美味的沙司成了最受歡迎的話題,每個人都在說那沙司有多好吃。女主人也因為別人的夸獎而露出了微笑。一個客人說傘菌除了有毒性以外和蘑菇很相似,如果用它來招待大家那可是太滑稽了。
As if on cue,the pet cat started crying and squirming on the floor, clutching its bel1y. The hostess exclaimed, "Oh my God, it's the mushroom sauce!”
就像是給了暗示一樣,那只寵物貓開始在地上又叫又滾,還撓自己的肚子。女主人說:“噢,上帝呀,它吃的是蘑菇沙司呀!”
We all went to the emergency room in a mad rush, and had our stomachers pumped after telling them we had eaten poisonous mushrooms. This was an extremely unpleasant experience.
我們這些客人一下子都去了急診室,在告訴醫生我們吃了毒蘑菇以后我們都被洗了胃。這真是一件令人不愉快的經歷。
We got back,the cat was lying on the floor peacefully looking up at us, and had given birth to kittens.
當我們回來后,那只貓平靜的躺在地板上看著我們,它生小貓了!
