初學者愛上英語幽默小笑話39:誰更丑?(中英)
4.Who Is Uglier?
誰更丑?
Abraham Lincoln's ability to laugh at himself sustained him through his many adversities. One example he often recalled was the time when an ugly man thrust a revolver in his face. Lincoln tried to remain calm, asking the man what he wanted. The man replied, holding the gun to Lincoln's head, "Some years ago I swore that if I ever came across an uglier man than myself, I'd shoot him on the spot."
亞伯拉罕·林肯自我解嘲的才智幫助他度過了許多災難。他經常回想起一個例子,一次一個丑陋的男子用一把左輪手槍頂在了他的臉上。林肯努力保持鎮(zhèn)靜,問那人想要什么。那人用槍指著他的頭,回答說:“多年前我發(fā)過誓,如果見到一個比我還丑的人,我就當場擊斃他。”
Relief crossed Lincoln's face and he lost all his tension and anxiety. "Shoot me," he said to the stranger, "for if I am an uglier man than you, I don't want to live."
一絲欣慰掠過林肯的面龐,他的緊張和焦慮一掃而光。“開槍吧,”他對那個陌生人說,“因為要是我比你還丑,我就不想活了。”
